There are a lot of reasons to be scared at night that have nothing to do with aliens.
I can honestly recommend this video on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoTtkuY7jM
It contains all relevant stuff, it is well explained and is factually correct.
Interesting. Would you consider something like hourly / daily subscriptions paid over lightning by chance? Something we're looking to build support into @ Mutiny and I think the VPN use case could work out with something like this. Starting to focus heavily on building subscriptions on LN.
I have 4 channels in my Phoenix. All good. Just did some payments, all ok.
Try killing the app and restart, maybe the electrum spv didn't catch up well. Sometimes happen that.
Oh, I've just zapped ₿5 on this topic. What a rich guy was I? 😅

The things is Jack Mallers, worked with Dorsey when he still was at Twitter to enable tipping using lightning. The system is already there and he just said on Twitter to Musk, that it will take him just days to take the already built lightning system to Twitter in general.
Let's see if Musk responds, but I have the feeling that Musk wants Twitter to become a wallet and exchange for Doge. So they can get a commission for selling Doge to the people.
It's not fud.
First of all, you need to process blocks or the counterparty in an LN channel can eventually defraud you.
Second, even if they're honest, LN channels will eventually fail due to timeouts if your LN node can't process blocks.
There's a time window when LND can still function. But it can't go on indefinitely without a patch.
I bought recently some books at konsensus.network (https://bitcoinbook.shop/). Paying with lightning works like a charm. I used it several times before.

Are you projecting? ;)
Fiat mining 75 hours a week. Flipped both direct deposits to strike 100% btc
Looking at crowd health, attempting to run a profitable routing node through voltage with a few sats. Looking to buy a cheap asic from kaboom racks, to heat my cold ass condo.
I think bitcoiners are falling for a fiat-driven hype cycle. "AI" has been ubiquitous for over a decade and now we have our panties up in a bunch just because it's been given an easily-accessible frontend. A better explanation, in my view, is that high interest rates are exposing two decades of mal-investment and Silicon Valley tech bros are looking for something that will keep the perpetual motion machine going a bit longer so they can get off before it crashes.
I've spent a bunch of time messing with ChatGPT and some of the open source alternatives. The technology is very cool, but I haven't seen anything that suggests it's useful in any transformational way. I don't think it will replace workers, but there's tremendous profit to be made from fear-mongering about it while those workers are losing jobs due to the violent mood swings of the economy, caused by a fiat system.
If a singularity is approaching, my bet is that it will be caused by bitcoin, not AI.
An obvious example-a Twitter tweet. The original character limitation really changed communication, although I'm not sure whether it was an advancement or not. It helped to spawn the low attention span world we live in, and probably inspired the 30 second video limit on snapchat.
Agreed. By far the best podcast in the ecosystem. Keep up the great work @kr!
Follow-up question: whatever the answer to how often you see your friends is, do you wish the number was higher?
It's about the price tracker at the top. Currently, it only supports USD. Sorry, that wasn't clear from the post. This is the issue: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/103
I find besides batteries and screens phones last pretty long. I have never tried to get my phone to last more than 4 or so years but I have an ipad that is about 10 years old.
