Hey all,
I'm stoked to chat with you all today. Zeus (https://zeusln.app) is a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets you connect to and control your lightning node remotely. It supports LND, Core Lightning, and Eclair.
I've worked in cybersecurity as a full-stack engineer and an analyst. I've worked as an engineer at Kraken. I currently do some engineering work on contract for Lightning Labs.
Happy to talk about the following topics:
- Zeus
- Cybersecurity 🔐
- Mobile app development 📱
- Privacy 👁️
- Bitcoin 🌽
- Programming 💻
- Music 🎵
- Ball ⚽🏀
But feel free to AMA!
I am still using it as a secondary alternative to Twitter, there is a lot of room to be improved before onboarding normies from other social media. But I can say I have stopped trying using Mastodon and using more nostr because that's where I lurk more for Bitcoin talk including stacker news.
I can say for sure I am looking forward a Reddit alternative using nostr than Twitter alternative.
I'm impressed by your fairly reasonable take, when I saw that you replied I honestly expected you to roast me or imply that I'm debating in bad faith with the examples I'm presenting.
However, it's concerning to me that there are still devs and influencers who are trying to police the way that others use their own bitcoin.
The fact that we still refer to it as "permissionless", advocate for building a market for block space and suggest that "Bitcoin is for enemies" while we agree that some legitimate use cases that the network enables are attacks or spam is one sweet piece of irony. These people have no issue still calling themselves libertarians.
I can't believe you made this post. I had the exact same thought. Listening to Tom Keane, I thought of a dinosaur who had no clue the meteor was about to hit. As an aside, I heard him refer to Gensler as an honorable man who can be counted on to do the right thing, protecting innocent investors from the likes of SBF. I laughed out loud.
the dip
we are all waiting for that dip..
In general, coinjoin provides privacy in expense of cost and speed and often clunky UX.
Specifically, Wasabi has the strongest privacy guarantees, for all we know it's perfect. JoinMarket is good, although you have to do some work to achieve perfect privacy in it, you can't just be a "taker". Samourai/Whirlpool are trash. Not on the same level as the previous two, because they are TTPs.
And then there's Mercury, which is doing interesting things, though not CJ.
And of course LN, which is not great today as implementations go, but has the potential to provide perfect privacy on top of coinjoin channel management.

I remember perfectly having a discussion with a fellow 4 years old classmate about how things looked smaller when they are far away.
"See, that tree is much bigger than my thumb, but if I extend my arm and stick my thumb out like this, the tree is hiding behind it!"
I hate my job — all I do is crush cans all day. It’s soda pressing.
