I don't type anymore, too slow
I use dictation
but I don't dictate anymore, too slow
I have the hotkeys mapped to my StreamDeck
M is merge
MP Is merge, push, rebase
tokens cost money
human approval costs time
I'm waiting for my @neuralink, so don't have to press buttons anymore

Introducing LayerTree, a non-custodial scaling solution on bitcoin that connects to Lightning.
Using covenants, one UXTO can be shared by a million users. Any user can leave at any time in a single transaction. Users don't need to be online to receive. Funds never time out.
LayerTree is the next step in bringing bitcoin to billions.

Announcing LayerTree: a new tree-based scaling solution for Bitcoin that permits O(1), independent of the number of users in the system: nitter.siddz.com/lightning/status/21108…
A single UTXO can hold the balance of millions of users as an off-chain Merkle-sum tree.
Transaction introspection techniques permit batched exit from the system in a single transaction w/o any pre-signing: layertree.tech

Introducing Magnetar from Microsoft Research, the first zkVM that is: (1) general-purpose (RV64), (2) post-quantum from standard hashes alone (no curves, no lattices, no Poseidon), and (3) built for recursion.
Despite its conservative security, it is the fastest zkVM: 7.2–8.7 MHz on a laptop, 10–39× faster than existing zkVMs across 15 workloads! An optimized version reaches 9.5–12.8 MHz.
Links in the thread below.

If ya don’t know, now ya know, bitcoiner!
So excited to see this released. Congrats to the team at @lightning for continuing to push the envelope and enable self-custodial bitcoin transactions for all!

peep the code!
all primitives in place and tested, but no clients yet
clients can be light clients, they just follow the spends on chain to keep up with the operations of the tree
a 3rd party can give you the leaves, and you can verify the merkle sum
layertree.tech
def
there's code for all the primitives, but not yet a client/server to implement it all:

we put yo tree in a tree so you can tree while you tree

insufficient, imo quite a lot of time has passed, so we need more powerful primitives, to reach escape velocity
you need to be able to do merkle proof validation in tree

In addition to the interactive website at laytree.tech, we’re also releasing:
* A compact 15-page paper that explains the system: layertree.tech/paper/main.pd…
* A full version that includes all the raw scripts, Lean proofs for key invariants, and additional detail of all operations: layertree.tech/layertree-ful…
