Today I'm happy to announce Noah. ⛵ It's a Bitcoin wallet that @nitesh_btc and I have been working on, using the Bitcoin Ark protocol via @secondhq. Noah and the Ark protocol allow easy onboarding, Lightning Address support, easy backups, fast payments, and much more, while staying trust-minimized. With Noah, you can easily pay and receive via Lightning without dealing with channel management and inbound/outbound liquidity constraints. Onboarding is as easy as receiving a Lightning payment. When you onboard, you get an Ark VTXO (akin to a UTXO but offchain) instead of a channel. You can also onboard via onchain and internal Ark payments. Each Noah user gets a Lightning Address that they can use to receive, even offline for Noah->Noah payments. You can restore the wallet securely with just your seed phrase. Noah is available now on mainnet! Please give it a shot and let us know what you think. ⚡️

I just did the world’s first splice out into a channel open on regtest!! This is a MAJOR milestone! It’s really happening 🤯 A huge step forward to the Omega-Everything-Splice.

SECOND IS NOW ON MAINNET. Bark, our implementation of the Ark protocol, is available for anyone to start making bitcoin payments. Included in the launch are our mainnet Ark server, the Bark SDK, and multiple wallets to try from day one.

Thanks for your new contribution from @NodeHello! Check out how Hcompany/Holo-3.1-35B-A3B-NVFP4 achieved 75.40 tokens/sec at c=1 and almost 200 tokens per second at c=10 on text generation on NVIDIA DGX Spark with vLLM!

For the DGX Spark owners. This is what you get with DS4 in your hardware. I want to post this to show how with fast prefill and not very fast generation, the system remains absolutely fine to use.

Splicing is now officially ratified in the lightning spec. Let’s gooooooo 🎉

We now have a mutinynet cli tool! This should make using the faucet much easier, great for agents too! github.com/benthecarman/muti…

Glock (🔫💥) paper code has dropped! - 99.8% reduction in on-chain costs over BitVM2. - 100x reduction in off-chain costs over BitVM3. @liameagen and rest of @AlpenLabs Research are legends.

I created the first multi-channel splice on testnet! This marks a significant milestone for splicing, paving the way for the everything-join-splice. Next up: get “splice script” to beta to make the everything-join-splice feasible.
