Hard to tell, Robots + AI could be it, maybe the computational power will overcome our best brains, and we might just become slaves, but I think that there will be a time where we will consider these robots entities with equal rights and we will work together even though they will do things we can't or won't but we will cooperate. Also an advantage of humans is impredictability, we can think outside of the box, adapt to all different conditions, the randomness of our genetics+environment gives us an edge against AI I think.
Nice meme indeed...
I want to mention:
Phones will never be durable for the long tail, for the same reason general purpose laptops - the fast march forward of hardware technology, the slow march backward in software :-) Software grows significantly sophisticated and outlives its silicon home.
As the software on phones is mostly single consumer focused, it will always bloat bloat bloat with customer expectations.
Another problem is the limited recharge cycles of the Lithium Ion batteries.
Additionally, the iPhone started the trend of the sealing the battery for its IPX (water/intrusion resistance). So we need to either user replace, or perpetual life cells.
So we need:

Not very likely.
So what? I'm sure @k00b doesn't want to be legally liable for being an unregistered money service business, to open himself up to hacks stealing user funds, to be responsible at all for their money, or to see every transaction coming in and out of each user account. It doesnt matter how much it is, its fucking 2023, quit telling people to use custodians.
I'm reading 'The creature from Jekyll Island' by GE Griffin. It was recommended by @carlosfandango. He's right, very interesting read!
blind people can't really use hardware wallets and seed backup best practices (on hardware or software wallets) aren't really made for them.
I'm not calling blind people a little old lady, but I think it's a dramatic example of where accessibility isn't considered in a large part of the industry.
Hello my SN friends, the learning new languaage is a very hard. I'm support a chat gpt, speakly, discord and this place. Today I rode a bike to the grocery and I bought diary products and wegetables. Unfortunately, in my countryside people isn't understand a bitcoin and the layer two which is a lightning to the payment. How are you doing? I wish a good night you.
We've actually been working on new clip video export formats which should be live at some point later next week:
@Undisciplined would love to get your feedback on these:
will see if we can get an embed format done
Mornin freaks, I'm taking time off from the fiat mines, from oct4-oct8.
In the meantime i'm looking to finish the nostr dev course, get to day 50 in the 100 days of coding replit course. 3d print some guns. Finish a book, Alot of running/pushups. Continue with the job search etc.
TheWildHustle never stops......Lets Goooo!!!
If I was writing a guide about things to do with your node, what should I call it?
(Keeping in mind the title will pretty heavily influence the tone and style)
A) 5 Romantic things to do with your bitcoin node this weekend

B) How to make love to your bitcoin node
howdy, hot showers, heating pads

it has changed the game for cooking_ from mashed potatoes to baked goods, the stand mixer. was always a hand mixer maxi but the handsfree aspect of the stand mixer is chefs kiss
GM everyone!!! Happy Friday!!! It's a rather unusual one, it feels different, can't quite put my finger on it but let's see what the day brings, I wish you all a fantastic day and don't forget that you are worthy, you matter and you're important my friend, hope your day is successful and profitable!! Enjoy your weekend and don't watch the eclipse without proper protection. Be well and stay frosty.

You guys think that these people will ever be able to save 12 words seed for a wallet?
One of the most nefarious elements of finger on the scale central planning is it inherently favours businesses of scale that can borrow and crush competition essentially free capital, and decimates small businesses that can't afford to compete with the juggernauts that sit next to the printer.

Interesting read, but isn't the word "scam" a bit exaggerated?
It's one thing to say that Bluesky is not open and decentralized enough (for now), it's another to claim it's a fraud. And if you do, you may as well call "scam" most apps and services launched on the Net for 20 years.

Broadly, I want to highlight that while some of the comments here have focused on "why not just run a full node on your RPi at home", that's simply not realistic for normies. Unless we want ~everyone to be stuck using custodial providers, things like Mutiny are absolutely critical to getting people onto Bitcoin/Lightning. Mutiny is still super new, and there's been some hiccups, but the rate they've been shipping has been impressive and they've definitely fixed a boatload of issues over the past month or two.
I want to respond a bit to this, because this implies that there's some general node compatibility issues here, but that's not really the case. These days we don't really see any issues between LDK and CLN or LDK and LND regarding general compatibility issues.
Mutiny has suffered from several force-close issues, sadly, but I understand they've made good progress on several of them (including contributing upstream to LDK the API tweaks they required to have the flexibility they needed for their improvements!)
a) Until recently LDK did not fully support anchor channels, CLN, which Mutiny's LSP currently uses, only supports anchor channels as a development feature, and Mutiny has not yet had the bandwidth to integrate anchor channels. Without anchor channels, lightning nodes to have to enforce the feerates on the channel as within a range that their feerate estimator gives them, as otherwise the channel is not enforceable on-chain. LDK is relatively strict about this, other lightning nodes have loosened their enforcement here to avoid force-closes and instead risk on-chain enforcement can fail. Of course anchor channels addresses this, but in the mean time Mutiny has contributed upstream to LDK to give more flexibility to users to let them loosen the enforcement, which I understand Mutiny now has.
b) Mutiny doesn't generally have the users' private key online, and many users receive HTLCs which are set to expire soon and then they close the site and don't reopen it for a week. Sadly, at this point on startup the channel has timed out and we have an HTLC which the lightning protocol mandates we go to chain to enforce. We've chatted a bit with Mutiny about how we might go about working around the Lightning protocol's requirements, and I'm quite confident we'll figure things out, with better initial sync steps in LDK and Mutiny, and looking towards the future with things like async payments.
c) Mutiny has been taking advantage of a beta feature in LDK where storage is asynchronous, as well as built a lot of infrastructure around supporting the same wallet/node running on several different machines at the same time. This is an impressive bit of engineering, but still has some kinks we're working out.
