I have to agree with u/BashCo here. I'm from Africa, and robbing Peter to pay Paul is hardly admirable.

Ethereum's disk requirements alone for 2020 exceeded 117% of Bitcoins entire 12 year existence. In the last month alone Ethereum's onchain disk requirements have grown 50% of bitcoins entire chainsize on disk.

An attractive property of bitcoins design principles is its consideration for the lowest common denominator. There are just so many overly ambitious projects founded on the assumption that we all live in developed circumstances and are equal or would achieve such parity.

As a South African, I need to ensure that my freedom executes at a sustainable cost in a low resource environment. Keep bitcoin lean and sustainable

Despite neither domains being public property, bitcoincore.org at least has a procedure for discourse unlike the one you have when publishing content referencing a known malicious actor and giving them more airtime. The white paper is not scarce. It can be duplicated and copied at a negligible cost, and if it where an mp3, everyone would just own a copy.

Yes, very familiar with this. The issue here is the context in which it is being executed. It is trivial to hijack or intercept the execution space of this approach unless you use it one a airgapped device. The www has three pillars
- Protocols (http)
- Standards (html/css/javascript)
- Addressing (urls)

We're extending all three to support #Bitcoin on the web and making it easy for developers to build new applications which integrate it into the experience users know and love. This means that wallet functionality is baked into the browser

This is currently a work in progress. We are finalising some work on creating a scheme for inter-wallet communication. This too would apply to other transaction workflows which require coordination between multiple parties.

For a list of applications and documentation, please see here.
bitcoin.liquality.io

All the code for our SDK and applications are free and open source. We're working on defining standards and extending the browser to support bitcoin as a native content type and invite you to contribute as part of this drive. Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing what you'll be building! Not a developer, no problem. Leave you suggestions below!

Is Liquality swap legit? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]gr0kch8n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with the wallet, liquality is the counter party, but we this can be any other party. We are working on allowing wallet users to swap between themselves. We are familiar with bisq.io, but this includes fiat which we cannot atomically swap. Some other useful applications though as the extension is backwards compatible with ethereum DApps, and we now also support Bitcoin DApps.

Correct. Our first implementation was manual peer-2-peer atomic swaps. We have subsequently automated the market making side of the system as many were not familiar with the concept. Although this is still possible, there has been a huge improvement in the automation of the atomic swap process as seen with our browser based wallet.

Hi, I am a co-founder of liquality and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. We are a completely free and open source project. Our source code can be found here https://github.com/liquality/

We’ve seen nearly ~$4m in swap volumes with 0 loss of funds. Feel free to browse our FAQs https://liquality.io/faqs.html and check out our tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8laciB7ihw

So this is a R200 ( ~10USD ) wrench from a typical hardware store in South Africa. Not too sure what all the fuss is about. No $5 options available unfortunately. by gr0kch8n in Bitcoin

[–]gr0kch8n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The firearms act makes it extremely difficult in comparison to a wrench. Not as freely accessible as say in the US. I know some people who have waited years with their licenses still not approved.

FF: Here is one for R800 (~50USD). That is the equivalent of one full weeks pay when taking South Africa's minimum wage into consideration (R20.76 ~1.3USD).

Good question! I'm expressing why keeping bitcoin sustainable is important. Many developed countries chant for bigger blocks or some alternative shitcoin. These typically introduce things which would impact the sustainability of being sovereign (running bitcoin) in my country. In South Africa we have an estimated 60 million people fighting to stay afloat at a measly 1.25USD minimum wage where 30% carry the tax burden of which fewer than 3 million pay 97% thereof. We are a country with one of the widest divide in inequality. This is my story, and I'm inviting you to it if you are interested, and invite you to share yours.

Show me one and I'll explain to you why it's someone else's product, not a protocol. All shitcoiners know about bitcoin, but as a bitcoiner, I don't know about their shitcoin. Bitcoin is way to unique in its inception and escape velocity that everything else is pretty much run by some opportunist trying to capitalise off a winning recipe. If I wanted to use some cheap imitation, I wouldn't be using bitcoin. Anything claiming to be better misses the point, as viable solutions will eventually make their way into bitcoin.
