RGB and Lightning Network Compatibility
When an RGB state transaction is committed into a Bitcoin transaction and like this can be part of payment channel. In simple words, each new RGB state transition can committed inside in a channel to move RGB assets.

Alice open channel with Bob providing 10k satoshis and 500 USDT. The RGB commitment is added in a dedicate OP_RETURN output. Remember: With Taproot this could also be done.

1/ As crypto continues through the bear market, #Bitcoin's identity as an inflation hedge, store of value, and a maturing institutional asset have wavered.
However, a new narrative has emerged through a feature made possible following the #SegWit and #Taproot upgrades. 👀🧵

2/ Soft-fork upgrade Segregated Witness (SegWit) made it easier and cheaper to store large amounts of data, while Taproot removed the constraints on the amount of data that could be included in $BTC transactions.

What's WabiSabi?
WabiSabi is a protocol for centrally coordinated Coinjoin implementations utilizing keyed verification anonymous credentials and homomorphic value commitment. Providing blind signatures in both privacy and flexibility. This protocol is used on Wasabi wallet

How works?
In simple words, the Merchant create a invoice and shows your pubkey of the Nostr for relay recommended. After, the costumer posts an encrypted message with the payment and value using specific wabisabi coordinator. Merchant can reject or accept.

What's RGB Proxy?🧵⬇️⚡️
RGB proxy is a server done to facilitate the relay of load data between RGB wallets, having better UX for end user and also avoiding attacks of users, spammers, etc.

2. Taproot is the first major upgrade to #BTC since 2017.
Using a private key to provide a signature, users can utilize their bitcoin.
However, more complex transactions require multiple signatures. All of these signatures and data become public on the ledger.

This confusion and chaos has been driven by the recent #hysteria about the government apparently confused whether to do a #cryptoban or #regulatecrypto.
All those news articles that sprung up about the #fakeban, initially were based upon this generic understanding that all #cryptocurrencies are private in nature.

4 years since the SegWit upgrade paved the way for the Lightning Network, Taproot is a significant upgrade to Bitcoin.
This consists of three major Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIP) - intended to improve the privacy, security and scalability of the Bitcoin Network.
This consists of three major Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIP) - intended to improve the privacy, security and scalability of the Bitcoin Network.
These are:

•BIP-341 - Taproot
•BIP-342 - Tapscript
1/13. #Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade is < 1 week out (block 709,632 - Nov. 14), meaning the network will undergo a historical upgrade that will enhance Bitcoin's smart contract flexibility, transaction efficiency, privacy, and security.

2/13. #Taproot is the first #Bitcoin soft fork since SegWit paved the way for the Lightning Network in 2017. The soft fork packages 3 BIPs that synergistically empower users and roll out the red carpet for vast innovation on Bitcoin:
✅Schnorr Signatures
✅ Taproot
✅ Tapscript
✅Schnorr Signatures
✅ Taproot
✅ Tapscript
3/13. BIP340 (Schnorr Signatures) introduces a more secure, light, and flexible cryptographic signature that enables "key aggregation," a technique that ensures single-sig transactions, multi-sig transactions, and complex smart contracts are indistinguishable on the blockchain.
Continuing #Taproot series.
#2, pt 1/6. Taproot introduces new “common signature function” for signing tx with BIP-340 Schnorr signature. This function may be re-used in a future soft-forks (simplifying implementation/code review). It provides two ways of changing signing algo:
#2, pt 1/6. Taproot introduces new “common signature function” for signing tx with BIP-340 Schnorr signature. This function may be re-used in a future soft-forks (simplifying implementation/code review). It provides two ways of changing signing algo:
#2, pt 2/6. First, for incremental updates, where we do not change the order of data signed, but append new data to the end, we can use so-called *ext flag* - a value in range 0-127 passed as a parameter to the common signing function.
#2, pt 3/6. Tapscript (BIP-342) already uses this mechanism to add to the signed data commitment to a specific key serialization algo (which may change with future updates), script branch version & code (via tapleaf_hash) and code separator.
#Taproot is coming. Each day before taproot activation I will publish mostly unknown tech insights into what taproot brings.
#1, pt 1/5. Taproot introduces new versioning for bitcoin script (as many know). But do you know that each taproot branch may have a different script?
#1, pt 1/5. Taproot introduces new versioning for bitcoin script (as many know). But do you know that each taproot branch may have a different script?
#1, pt 2/5. Moreover, taproot separates script versioning from witness versioning. I.e. in witness v5 we may have something like three script versions - or today v1 P2TR output may have a script condition for future versions of script
#1, pt 3/5. The new script versioning system is named *leaf version*. Current leaf version is 0xC0, meaning BIP-341, aka “Tapscript”. Yes, taproot can work not only with tapscript/BIP-341, but other future standards!

2/ Taproot is a very important update to the Bitcoin Core software. It is a backward compatible soft-fork, which might be locked-in in a few weeks. Locked-in means that the changes to the software will be activated automatically in November.
3/ First the miners need to signal their readiness. Those signals are looking very promising at the moment. 1815 blocks within a period of 14 days have to signal for taproot. If they do, taproot will be activated in November. There is no turning back.

صرف یک ایده نمیتونه نشان کاربردی بودن پروژه باشه،کاربرد باعث ایجاد اثرشبکه میشه واثرشبکه محرک رشده، چرا قیمت اتریوم با اینکه مشکل مقیاس پذیری داره درحال رشده، چرا قیمت ایاس و ترون ضعیفتر از رقبا، افزایشی است؟چون کاربران وبرنامه های زیادی دارنداز اونها استفاده می کنند(اثرشبکه)

بعضی ها می پرسند کار دیفای کی تموم میشه؟ من میگم هیچ وقت، نیاز به کاربردهای دیفای همیشه وجود داره، آیا ممکنه روزی بیاد مردم وام نگیرند یا سپرده گذاری نکنند؟ هرگز، ولی خیلی از پروژه های دیفای هم از بین خواهند رفت مگر اینکه کاربران خود را زیاد کنند.

3/ The disagreement is about aligning activation (in code) with project ethos
There are two proposed ways to activate:
LOT = FALSE: Gives miners a year to activate Taproot, then it expires.
LOT = TRUE: Lets users activate Taproot if miners do not upgrade within a year.

2) #Bitcoin and #Ethereum undoubtedly have some ideological differences. If you disagree with that statement, then the thought experiment will be lost on you and you may return to your alternate reality!
3) #BTC is far more #cypherpunk, rebellious, anti-state, defensive-minded, underground, and "bring down the banks/government/state"
#ETH is more speculative, less hostile, less "religious", more enterprise-friendly, and probably less inclined to subvert nation-wide regulations
