Latest thing I started playing with is Spectrum and RGB...colored coins for the Lightning Network. I have been trying to figure out how this can be done for quite a while, it appears someone has figured it out. So I will be delving deeply into the guts to figure it all out.

I am looking at decentralized partial ownership structures for titling seastead homes.

While there are shitcoin solutions, they will come and they will go. I would rather have something that is very likely to last at least 100 years like Bitcoin will.

https://www.thestar.com/news/starweather/2019/11/12/toronto-sees-record-breaking-snowfall-as-the-city-digs-out-from-mondays-storm.html

Toronto has a new snowfall record as the city begins to dig out after Monday’s big weather event.
13.6 centimetres of snowfall was recorded, said Monica Vaswani, a meteorologist at Environment Canada.
“This is a record,” said Vaswani “There has never been a daily snowfall that was higher then 13.6 centimetres.”
The last time a significant snowfall occurred this early in the year was Nov. 6, 1951, Environment Canada climatologist Dave Phillips said. That’s when the city was hit with 13.2 centimetres of snow...

 It's as if JimboToronto has a 6th sense.

That is an interesting use case scenario for LN indeed.

As a non-LN but still bitcoin solution, had you considered using Omni Layer or Counterparty? I never really messed around with Omni, but I know Counterparty works quite well. Granted if the Counterwallet server went down you would have to switch to a Counterparty-friendly wallet, but there's quite a few of them:

https://counterparty.io/wallets/

As you are probably aware, the downside is you do have to pay the full transaction fee every time you want to make an asset-related transaction, whether its putting up a bid on their DEX, creating them, moving them around or whatever. To me it seems like a more stable alternative than Lightning at the moment, but you know, times change.

Is this the project you are referring to?

RGB and Lightning Network

As far as I know the project is officially on hold as the repo maintainer and PM (Aleikos Filini) is busy doing other stuff @Blockstream.

Bullish volume, best that 2017..

The Bitcoin market has recently exceeded activity levels at the end of 2017, when BTC began its historic rally that prices soared to a record high above $ 19,900.

Bitcoin broke 40% above the maximum levels of 2017, much higher!

Massive volume in Bitcoin

Guess what?

Things are not as they may seem.

Shrinking Spot market volume has been more than compensated for.

Futures have swallowed the Spot market. BTC 90 day Volume was recently 40% more than the 2017/18 peak.

This has powerful implications.

The "holding" behavior by whales and new funds to attract the purchase of BTC.

1/ Combining net $USDT & net $BTC flows

Reading chart: Left axis is net $USDT flows - net $BTC flows. So, for example, a $100M tether inflow & $100M btc outflow equals +$200M (both are bullish). In reverse, $100M tether outflow & $100M btc inflow equals -$200M (both are bearish)

Fresh hot, new strip-club hit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIYAMOb22WE

I can easily see it in many covers - in various languages - throughout strip-clubs of south-east Europe.
Although not a fan of this kind of music, I'm definitely a fan of strip-clubs.

You heard it here first.

There is no more reliable indicator for Bitcoin imploding than when Elwar posts talking about how he's going to be rich from shitcoins and flood the entire planet with seasteads.

Looks like it. It appears that Maxim Orlovsky is moving forward with it as well as a decentralized file storage solution over LN.

If it's possible I am fine with helping to make it happen. I just need to read the specs over and over again until it all clicks. I am still a bit hazy on the details of LN outside of the big picture so I have a lot of work ahead of me.
