After tinkering with monerod for much of the weekend, it seems like there's low hanging fruit to significantly speed up sync times by making it greedier at consuming available bandwidth and RAM.

Years ago Marc Andreesen predicted that the libertarians would abandon Bitcoin as it went mainstream. I suspect he didn't count on the fact that unlike other protocols and technologies, HODLers of last resort will have to be bought out in order for that to have a chance of occurring.

What I like most about using Lightning for payments is not the low transaction costs (on-chain fees are currently not that high either), but the idea that future generations won't have to audit my meaningless 20$ transactions when syncing their nodes
I'm pleased to announce the release of the Bitcoin Extended Public Key Converter. Hopefully this will save other Bitcoin developers a little bit of time while building and testing software. https://jlopp.github.io/xpub-converter/
