2019 is the Year of Lightning! Christmas Giveaway to promote adoption!

How is everyone doing today? Merry Christmas! I have a full node running Bitcoin core, C-lightning and channels open left and right. I thought it would be fun to the spread the love on Christmas, so here we go:

  1. Post and Up-vote - I will shoot you some excellent lightning tips using the tip bot. I took me 3 minutes to setup this bot using this link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lntipbot/wiki/index
  2. Want to be real hardcore? Post an invoice for any amount of Satoshis between 10-100 Satoshis. Payments go directly from you to me, no intermediary!
  3. If someone posts an invoice and you pay for it before I do (I will know!), simply post a "paid!" and I will tip you both for your good spirits. This is a challenge to the hardcore lightning nerds out there!

Most importantly! What if I don't have a lightning wallet, or channels open, or anything like that? No worries! I recommend:

  1. Tip others!
  2. Withdraw your coins onto these fun gambling sites and see what happens!
    1. https://www.lightningslotmachine.com
    2. https://www.lightningspin.com/
  3. This is the best of all - go to https://zigzag.io/#/ and spend your lightning to have ZigZag send you on-chain funds. Isn't that so awesome! Make sure you have at least a few k of satoshis though!

Also - want to connect to a secure lightning node that will never shut you off and is very well connected? Connect to me!

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?

BACKGROUND Segregated Witness (SegWit) was activated on the Bitcoin network August 24 2017 as a soft fork that is backward compatible with previous bitcoin transactions ( Understanding Segregated Witness ). Since that time wallets and exchanges have been slow to deploy SegWit, and the majority of users have not made the switch themselves. On Dec 18 2017 Subhan Nadeem has pointed out that: If every transaction in the Bitcoin network was a SegWit transaction today, blocks would contain up to 8,000 transactions, and the 138,000 unconfirmed transaction backlog would disappear instantly. Transaction fees would be almost non-existent once again . Mass SegWit use alone could empty the mempool, result in blocks that are not completely full, and make it possible to include transactions with $0 fee once again. On Jan 11 2018 when BTC sends went offline at Coinbase the mempool began to rapidly empty. Later in the day when service was restored there was a sharp spike up in the mempool . Subse...
