These days I'm watching Mr. Robot! I'm enjoying it very much!
Elliot’s monologues are amazing and I recommend it to those who haven't watched it yet.
I guess many stackers here have seen this TV series. What do you think about it?
What is your favorite quote from Mr. Robot?
Here are a few that I loved:
This is the world we live in people relying on each other mistakes. To manipulate one another, to use one another. Even relate to one another. A warm messy circle of humanity.
I don't mean to be rude, I'm just being honest.
The devil is at its strongest while we are looking the other way, like a program running in the background silently. While we are busy doing other shit. Daemons they call them, they perform action without user interaction. Monitoring, logging notifications. Primal urges,repressed memories, unconscious habits.They're always there always active . You can try to be right, you can try to be good, you can try to make a difference, but it's all bullshit. It's intentions are irrevalent.they don't drive us, Daemons do.
Daemons. They don't stop working. They are always active. They seduce. They manipulate. They own us. And even though you're with me, even though I created you, it makes no difference. We all must deal with them alone. The best we can hope for... The only silver lining in all of this... is that when we break through, we find a few familiar faces waiting on the other side.
How about you?

The dropdown cannot hold much longer.
Yeah, you are right and I'm sorry for pulling you back and forth on this. Cancellation is a fair counter point. Please take my inputs just as hopefully constructive feedback / brainstorming. I'm likely to be wrong on stuff...
I think the cancellation is a bit separate problem from the zapping solution itself.
Zapping
Just brainstorming, but what about behavior like this that's the same for both internal and connected wallet:
When zapping with internal wallet, user only sees (2) or (3)
Cancelation
The main issue I hit was that I clicked/tapped by accident on lightning when I didn't mean to. I don't mind losing the sats since that was my mistake (i.e. fair game), but I'm mainly worried about providing a wrong signal to the system and sorting that post higher (even when I don't like it). So the one solution idea that would resolve my issue would be if the post tripledot menu had "Cancel upvote (leave sats)" or perhaps for plus points, but really low priority: when the icon is still "pulsing" (= unconfirmed), I can tap&hold and in the dialog there could be option to cancel?
Some people are afraid of this for a reason.
Now this is a great pitch
And the product sounds really good!
Thankyou for the rewards contribution!
I know where you're coming from Tony. I'm just looking forward and into the future. Bringing some things that are in the works to the community's attention. The hope being, if we have an informed Bitcoin community, that community will feel more comfortable about a soft fork.
Most people just don't understand how much more pleasant life is outside of a city. Much cheaper too. Overall, just a better quality of life. Maybe it's not for everyone, I get it, but if you are able to consider such a move (even temporarily to try) it's highly recommended.
Also, not all country sides or small towns are created equal. Do your research and I'm sure you'll enjoy what you find.
nice work siggy.
"Keep the unbanked unbanked" gonna remember this one
Dario from Muun here.
We should be careful to analyze the current lightning costs properly before calling economically rational pricing an "attack".
Being a non-custodial lightning mobile wallet during a bear market has costs that are usually overlooked: to provide inbound capacity, as a wallet, you are locking your own money into a depreciating asset, which has a very high financial cost. These locked assets have very low utilization since mobile nodes are not routing third-party payments.
Most lightning wallets and nodes either do not account for these costs or subsidize them. And that's fine if you can spare the money.
At scale, it's just not sustainable.
We can wish that lightning had "almost zero fees" and ignore the actual costs, or we can accept the real costs (both operational and financial), talk about them openly, and get to work on optimizing them down.
Right back at you!
I think layer 2 designs that aren’t lightning have been ignored for way too long, but I also see this changing. By the time 2023 ends I expect alternative-L2s to raise more total funding than lightning companies this year, and I expect that’ll accelerate in the next few years.
There’s A LOT of work to be done on most of these ideas before they’re commercially viable, but I think that landscape will look very different very soon, and we’re going to see many new players in that arena.
