It's come up here a bunch of times where people have asked something like how do I be more open-minded? And I always say Actually care about being open-minded.
So many people LARP about wanting to be open-minded, but you push just a tiny bit and you see nothing whatsoever reflected in their actions or their lives: all their information coming from the same tribe, all their friends from the same tribe. They talk about how important it is to be open to new perspectives, but what they really mean is: everyone else should be open to my perspective, which is obviously right. Talk about the bias everywhere, where bias = disagreeing with how I see things.
Subcultures -- including bitcoiners -- are the worst at this.
If you want to be open-minded, and you want less bias, and you want to understand the world, the evidence of this will be all over your life, and it won't be subtle. If you introspect and you don't find it -- or maybe, if your ideological enemy wouldn't have to admit that you're doing it -- maybe what you're after isn't open-mindedness, or the truth.
@k00b@ekzyis does it make sense to update the donate-to-rewards action to be invoiceable? That thought came to mind as I was working on this PR. If so, I can work on that (in a separate PR).
I’m working on launching a course about global macro economics for the Turks and Caicos economy in the Caribbean.
I created a macro economic simulation model for that island.
I plan to discuss with people living on that island or doing business in the Caribbean in a board room setting what the global macro trends are.
In those sessions we will also discuss the main developments in larger economies like USA, BRICS, China, Europe and Japan.
My goal is to teach them about how their economy and the global economies work!
With strategic dashboards about historic economic infocators. I have flund a secret way how I can download all relevant indicators about all countries in the world from a reliable source.
So I’m going to teach them how they could quickly analyze and understand global macro trends and economies.
These people do not know what money is. They still live in the fiat world. They could ne policy advisors at government policy departments, trying to advance in their carreers. Or they could be imvestors, business owners trying to get financial freedom. But still in a fiat world.
So I can’t yet teach them to stack sats. But hopefully after 12 weeks of my program they know what “shit” the world is in. And how their wealth, the wealth of their islands, can be impacted. And they learn some basic economic processes to look at.
I would want to know from the Stacker.news community:
How do you make sense of global macro? Do you follow the economy of your country? And how and when do you decide to save and convert your fiat into sats?
What would you want to learn about the economy? What are your concerns?
On tech I need to try to get my BTCpayment server on my bitcoin node /Raspberry pi 4/ umbrel working through my wordpress website. I can already receive dollars through a payment provider but I need to let BTCpayserver work through woocommerce and wordpress. Then I can receive sats. And maybe focus on delivering economic courses and transformation for people with sats!!
Trying to focus on the bitcoin community instead of only the fiat community.
This is the kind of discussion I like to see. Not the tweet you link to but bitcoiners thinking about possible problems with the status quo. There are some good comments in this post (@027c352e45, @elvismercury, @DarthCoin & @Scoresby).
We do need more clients than just bitcoin core
A written spec does make sense to me for a project this important
We have other clients but usage is limited
We are still very early. Things can and will change but you make a strong point.
It's easy to accidentally hit the lightning button. Losing one sat is pretty minor, but might put a little more distance between the icon and the title/comment, or give like a 10 second undo window

I also need to automate some work with python.
An app that ties together messaging, lightning transactions, lightning addresses (would be the username) and lightning to bitcoin swaps.

Henry Miller: The Colossus Of Marroussi

I've reached something of an equilibrium in my initial search for the optimal default zap. For a couple weeks now, I've been hovering around 270.
Now I want to refine my approach.
Rather than just zapping everything I like 1/1000th of my wallet balance, I'd like to add some nuance. Here are the terms of my next experiment:
I'll be utilizing the turbo zaps feature for this, so watch out for accidentally large zaps!
How are other people's (@ekzyis and @elvismercury) current zap experiments going?
