He is, obviously, a proponent of open protocols. It&#39;s something I assumed, but I also assumed nobody else would want to run this service! Still, building independence in from the start is important.<br/><br/>The second key takeaway is that this should be an Electrum protocol extension! That makes life easier for users, (no extra dialog to choose a Century Metadata server) and for wallet devs, who already use the Electrum protocol.<br/><br/>So I read the Electrum protocol spec. It&#39;s restricted JSON-RPC (no \n, except at end). Fairly simple, easy to extend. Looks looks a good fit... 2026-07-06T03:22:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs28czpsuvykvrrgvj7ctu428vvm25apcsx098yqsjg403p957792qzyzf6s2hgm0kqelg0yxacnfudk6nvjwhpjwdrpghrxt0re3zmm8au674vmmc Three hours to the CM open call (Europe-friendly time)!<br/><br/><a href="https://centurymetadata.org/chats/">https://centurymetadata.org/chats/</a> 2026-06-29T08:49:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx5cs253t46wguquyz4gqfv3eqjevuxv2gr022vqud69raq5c4y8czyzf6s2hgm0kqelg0yxacnfudk6nvjwhpjwdrpghrxt0re3zmm8au6f7cs0e I screwed up my calendar and missed today&#39;s office hours &#34;come chat about what I&#39;m doing&#34;.<br/><br/>So, I&#39;ll do one tomorrow, exactly 24 hours late: 1:30pm West Coast, 4:30pm East coast (20:30 UTC).<br/><br/>See you there: come and ask anything! 2026-06-23T23:48:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszdc52zlcp8n7e6hwc084k9ngqa27nfxtcyrmf5kk9fj0y4euxszszyzf6s2hgm0kqelg0yxacnfudk6nvjwhpjwdrpghrxt0re3zmm8au6gvkj0l Century Metadata is a product for Bitcoiners, because they&#39;re the only ones who have motivation to maintain their secret key. That makes this whole &#34;public service&#34; data model feasible: you encrypt, so we don&#39;t have to keep any secrets. We just have to make your data available. 2026-06-22T01:14:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf0tmjqdpvmlu0klt2q5cz4u5q25vddl6r52qvs7jdaztuh4s22eszyzf6s2hgm0kqelg0yxacnfudk6nvjwhpjwdrpghrxt0re3zmm8au6wpdmj7 Precision isn&#39;t appreciated any more!
