Super Testnet12d agoIt's annoyingly hard to use bitcoin's p2p layer from browsers. BTC nodes don't understand the handshakes browsers do when they make GET/POST requests, unless you use RPC, which is permissioned. It's cool that Webcoin found a way, but it only works if folks run the bridge software

Super Testnet12d agoA few services make data from bitcoin's p2p layer *available* to browsers, e.g. block explorers, some electrum servers (including esplora servers), and block-dn. But it'd be great if browsers could talk to *any* node instead of placing the load directly on those limited services.
