unlock VS Bitcoin

Unlock is a great decentralized tool that doesn't require members to be familiar with web3 to get started.

This is exactly how something like Unlock Protocol works.

I'll name you several.

Copied from another reply I made, here's some projects to check out:

- Lens Protocol [https://lens.xyz/ (one example implementation: https://lenster.xyz/)] is an early social network built on top of Polygon.

- Farcaster [https://farcaster.xyz/] is another one, that takes a more hybrid approach of using Ethereum for trustless identity, but stores social stuff in a "sufficiently decentralized" way.

- ENS [https://ens.domains/] is a universal username system.

- Unlock Protocol [https://unlock-protocol.com/] uses NFTs for tradeable subscriptions, event tickets, etc.

- Radicle [https://radicle.xyz/] is a decentralized Github basically, that (optionally) uses Ethereum to store the Git HEAD of a "project" essentially.

- Arweave [https://www.arweave.org/] stores files permanently using a cool "endowment" mechanism. Currently, the network has secured its storage for like 1000 years in theory.

If you haven't seen it, you were not interested in looking and I doubt that any "evangelist" is going to change your mind.

Anyway, if you are honestly open to change your mind, go take a look at ENS domains [0] and unlock protocol [1]. Both of these are applications that use NFTs "properly", and allow us to do things that are currently possible only with a central authority.

[0]: https://ens.domains

[1]: https://unlock-protocol.com

If you want to go with the crypto route, that's the main goal of Unlock Protocol. It's basically one of the first use cases (beyond ENS domains) where NFTs actually make sense.

Look at Unlock Protocol (https://unlock-protocol.com/) and Lit (https://litprotocol.com/) for token gated content

All their code is public, https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock, you just need to follow the MIT license https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock/blob/master/LICENSE

Ubuntu/Debian: Install LND: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#install-lnd Install Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#linux-instructions

To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.
