Kudos to @2ndbtc for their Ark protocol documentation at https://t.co/8V7NBxy5ZZ I wasn't up-to-date on Ark details, and this documentation is extremely clear and honest about trade-offs, love it!

A brief primer for the basic concepts of the Ark protocol. Learn the mechanics of how Ark makes bitcoin payments fast, cheap, and self-custodial.

BIP 353 is a huge leap forward in security and UX for common payments from hardware wallets. Yet, sadly, it’s stuck in a three-way chicken-and-egg problem between the software wallets that people use, the hardware wallet firmware, and recipients. No one wants to do the work to
