SN Saturday Newsletter 8/27/22

Happy Sat-urday Stackers,

If you could own a satoshi mined in Bitcoin's second block (the coinbase of the first block is unspendable), how much would you pay for it? Casey Rodarmor hosted a workshop on ordinals today at Pleb Lab. Ordinals are an addressing scheme for such sats.

While the addressing scheme is simple, it brings attention (are dare I say value) to sats mined in exceptional circumstances, like this to-be-mined sat from a coinciding halving and difficulty adjustment.

Treat this weekend like it's rare, stackers!

Alby released a sat-powered Instagram proof-of-concept, InSATgram. Using WebLN, a protocol for communication between web apps and browsers, and LSATS, which is both an authentication and Lightning payment protocol using the grandfathered 402 payment required HTTP response status code, InSATgram allows you to pay to view images using a WebLN enabled wallet, which sends sats to the uploader's Lightning address and authenticates your continuted access to the image using LSATs.
