Bitcoin and similar are computationally intensive to run because of a thing called decentralization . Visa and Mastercard don't need consensus to perform payments, but they for sure don't have a single server running, I am sure t

you could try rayfish.xyz, it is compatible with tailscale nowadays so you can run both tailscale and rayfish

You can use lightning with mixes funds. There are ways to move your Bitcoin. The main premise of my comment is that they can't *take away* your bitcoin. But they can take a way your USDC.

Someone who doesn't have good fiat rails like third-world countries. Or people who just don't want to be part of the fiat system. Or both.

They are both useful. Monero is a bit more tricky to use, there is no concept of Lightning network, you still have to wait around 7 minutes for the transaction to settle. It's not bad, but it is different. The transparency in Bitcoin i

It is what it is. You have to implement KYC if you want fiat rails. A merchant can't KYC every single person that comes to the store. But you could build a system to eventually ban wallets that could be tied to criminal activity. The m

Stablecoins can be censored. You deposited into Huobi 5 years ago? Banned. Now we keep your stablecoins, thanks for playing. You can't censor Bitcoin.

I sent a transfer from the UAE to Spain and another one to the Netherlands. They took 5 days and 7 days respectively. The same transfer takes 10 minutes in Bitcoin. You don't do transfers to pay for stuff at the grocery store, the same

?? The merchant requests 100 USD. The user pays X BTC equivalent to 100 USD. The merchant receives 99 USD aka the fee is 1 USD

> So I'd have a different IP on each network? NO. You will ONLY have to rotate your IP if you join a network in which there is a collision. 1 in 4 million chance. If that happens, it's ok. Ideally you are using magicDNS and don

No, only once if there is a collision, which is 1/4M

Indeed, it is a typo of `public key`. What I mean is that your identity is your private key. And no, you won't have a new IP per network. Your IP is `fnv1a(ip || index) when index > 0`. Which changes your IP in all of the networks.

I think it's too much. I don't feel like I need to justify myself. You can read the code. But anyways, first of all; you can see we run a trading company called Infinite Field ( https://github.com/infinitefield ) an

Ah I understand that. Good thing is you dont need to trust me! You can just read the code. And PRs are welcome, and over time more maintainers. You can also fork it. It has MPL-2.0 license to ensure code is always open. In terms of the cred

Yeah I run an HFT firm. Apart from that, why does it matter? This isn't finance! But of course, rayfish is NOT production ready. For home servers might be ok. BUT NOT PRODUCTION READY

Thank you. I am working on the android app right now

by dfish 2mo ago
I did gauge that possibility. But iroh is already the library doing the heavy-lifting. So no, I don't think I'll make it a library. It is actually kinda a library now that I have to add android support. But it's not really fi

If you dont like the use of AI dont use it. Very simple. I went from idea (4 years ago) to implementation in 2 weeks.

by dfish 2mo ago
Indeed. So what we do is build your ipv4 using private key bits + collision_index. It is not perfect but it has worked in our tests. We'll keep improving it. The collision_index is incremented when a collision happens on a network. Let

English is not my mothertongue, therefore I told Claude (and GLM-5.2) to improve the wording as much as they could.

Actually the flashy website was built 4 years ago by another person. We actually tried to build it 4 years ago, but other ventures with higher upside kept our focus. Now you get a VPN for free, no strings attached, although it is vibecoded

by dfish 2mo ago
Yes, you can also do it. VPN is just one of those applications to be honest. Think of it as relaying packets over iroh.

Not yet. I'll support it in the future

I didn't really knew what Nebula was until I saw the comparison made by claude. I tried solutions like tailscale before but never nebula. If you like that product keep using it. The `it's nebula minus X feature` doesn't reall
