I just dropped off an un-godly amount of fiat at the post office to buy kyc-free btc so I can beef up my lightning node liquidity. You know... "cleaning house".
You say this and i instantly think of magic the gathering lol
Odd. Bitwise and Vaneck already donate to Devs. Hard to imagine Saylor could crush Blackrock or Fidelity. Big fan of Odell but would like more info on this because it doesn't make sense.
fantastic post. Resonated with me.
Tl; Dr - too much Larping, not enough Bitcoining.
Hodl < Hodl, spend and replace more.
Centralised on ramps suck.
I shill WoS all the time for my videos and content. I use the excuse that for noobies it’s a great in ramp.
im gonna make an active effort to shill Phoenix.
Ps I love that carrefour translates to Walmart in your mind 😃
Hey @k00b and @ekzyis could we have a thing in notifications where it tells you not only how many sats you stacked that day, but also how many you spent? It could report both numbers in the same notification. I know you can compute it manually from your wallet, but that's a PITA, and seeing it laid out that way would be really interesting.
when it comes to their character, effort and upholding their responsibilities (no matter how big or small) we are strict with them.
I wouldn't have articulated this but I think it's right. Everything else is something you can and should negotiate with a changing world.
I just finished editing a tutorial video about https://lightsats.com/; if you don't know it yet, go and check it out, its worth it.
My video will be published in 3 hrs (aprox)
But https://lightsats.com/ is platform where the Bitcoiners can give SATS or orange pill friends or any one on the streets and if this person is not interested in Bitcoin, you will recovery the SATS you gave.
Cheers
You're gonna have to redo this poll when Ark actually has some code. You know its still pretty new and people are still trying to wrap their heads around exactly what it is and what it does and what it isn't and what the trade offs are going to be.
What are some of the most relevant upcoming features?
It might be time to raise posting costs ... people are posting absolute repetitive garbage.
You could install it alongside Bitcoin Core. Once it has synced you can pass user/password and it will use your bitcoind instead of remote blocks. Read the README, it's all there:
add-apt-repository ppa:lightningnetwork/ppa
apt update
apt install lightningd
mkdir -p ~/.lightning/plugins
echo 'disable-plugin=bcli' >> .lightning/config
cd ~/.lightning/plugins
wget https://github.com/nbd-wtf/trustedcoin/releases/download/v0.6.1/trustedcoin-v0.6.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf trustedcoin-v0.6.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd
lightningdHard to say. There are so many!
One powerful example was Hong Kongers in exile using Bitcoin to support human rights advocacy inside the city from abroad.
Another is a Burmese activist who escaped from his country using BTC as a lifeline.
Yet another is a Russian independent media outlet that is using Bitcoin to help sustain its operations after it was forced to leave Russia.
You should use a submarine swap service like https://boltz.exchange to exchange your KYC on chain bitcoin to LN bitcoin. Then you can do whatever you want with your LN btc.
There is also https://fixedfloat.com/ which is centralized, but it's a good alternative
Hopefully next week. Sorry, I know it's a shitshow right now. We weren't expecting this much demand.
Ditto here.
TFW the internet names something, you've been doing naturally, and was counter-culture in a small company.
Feels like the bulk of devs I have worked with struggle with concepts like rebasing, targeting a specific branch, and handling conflicts.
For a pretty long split-second, I thought that OP wanted to know if anyone of us Plebs has actually managed to create a family, with a wife, kids and that sorta bagage - and I don't think I'm the only one!
Honestly? Great idea. I host a lot of my own infra and I often lose sleep over it. "x probably isn't secure enough, y doesnt have a good enough backup, if z goes down when I'm not home, I can't get it back up"
Hey @benwehrman. FYI. I looped you into a nostr conversation with Dr. Jeff Ross regarding him potentially coming on SN for an AMA mid-Sept or later.
Highly dependent on who you are, your threat model, and what you are doing online. Most of us are such small potatoes to the governments of the world that it isn't a big deal IMO. For most people privacy is far more important than anonymity. Privacy is choosing what you reveal. Edward Snowden has a very different threat model than myself.
I'm not saying who cares and it doesn't matter. I think it does but I think being completely anonymous for most people is probably overkill. We live in such a surveillance state that few of us could withstand the eye of Sauron. I do think privacy is more important for bitcoiners than no-coiners. At least for the most part. I'm very selective about what I share online but at the same time I'm not ashamed or afraid to stand up as a bitcoiner. I don't want my UTXOs to be public but I don't yet feel like I need a nym. Or maybe I already have several...
I respect folks that operate as nyms. If I were a bitcoin contributor I would do it as a nym. I guess my advice would be to do an analysis of your threat model and act accordingly.
