Top Friday fun fact \ 10.3k sats \ @HODLbitcoin
Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

There's an uninhabited island in New York City called North Brother Island. It was once home to a quarantine hospital, where "Typhoid Mary" was confined. Today, it's an eerie, abandoned place hidden in the midst of the bustling city.

There was a bug, we accidentally sent out a push notification to everyone who had them enabled when a territory was unarchived.

If someone transfers you a territory should there be an accept or reject option on that, if you reject it goes to archived? Just to prevent anyone from accidentally getting billed for territories that have been erroneously assigned to them.

Ohhh, good point. I actually didn't consider automated billing. When I implemented this, I thought people could simply transfer it back/away or not pay and let it get archived. But with automated billing setup, this would indeed be a problem. If you time the transfer right, someone would get billed and pay for a territory they didn't want.

Good catch!

I don't know of any plans for that, but I think it'd be nice as well but technically pretty challenging. They'd all at least have to be using the same implementation. Going from like a Greenlight to LND would be very challenging if its even possible. So there's have to be some sort of standard there.

Sure, it needs to be easier to run a node. But bitcoin isn't free to use and that's not going to change whether or not we get core to run on a $1000 smartphone (which has a cost that needs to be paid for BTW)
