Well, if that dev Bob cited is right, then Lightning is apparently cooked unless a fix is possible.
If so, Phil has a solid argument as you cannot accommodate coffee buying on bitcoin (without Lightning).
Do I care? Not much as my infrequent txs can still be posted, but it (bitcoin) cannot be a medium of exchange for the planet.
Is BitVM any better? I have no clue, maybe it is too new.
Perplexed.
Last time I'd check, Bitcoin and Lightning was still being developed and improvements are being sort and worked through...
am I missing something?.... the narrative over the last a few pages make it seem like,
that is it! we are fucked! nothing can be done to solve buying a coffee!
stop being a BTC maxer and let LTC/Doge do the lite work.
BTW I will be driving to the mine and dropping in 550th of BTC miners and zero Scrypt miners.
+2 sMerit for the 550th
-1 sMerit for the LTC/Doge statement!
Look I am a satoshi guy which means am a POW guy
So 3100 watts an hour with a s19xp means 141 x 0.0622 cents or $8.77 a day
and 3100 watts hour with an L7 means 9 x 1.31 usd or $11.79 a day
so we can argue all you want. but my L7's are paid off and make $3.02 a day more
Which if you go back a bit on this thread you will read I cashed LTC and Doge in in order to buy more BTC.
So I ask you is spending 3100 watts an hour to get $11.79 in btc better than spending
3100 watts an hour to get $8.77 a day in btc?
I have earn more value with Scrypt mining since 2018 than I have with BTC mining .
And I am far more invested in BTC gear and power than scrypt .
The difference is my Doge mine and hodl was really really really really really good.
At the moment I am not holding my LTC or my Doge profits I am cashing them and setting up BTC DCA buys.
So if you read this you will see I am a BTC 85% person and 15% Scrypt
and it has worked well since 2018
Phillipma, there is a HUGE difference between "I mine shitcoins ltc/doge and immediately sell for btc" and "Buy ltc or doge and hodl it to buy coffees, guys!! They will take over commerce!"
Like a giant, galaxy-size difference.
So quit espousing the latter, when you only mean the former.
