All the Dems have to do is pick anyone under 65 and they will win. The only reason no one has noticed Trump’s mental decline is because he never made much sense anyway. A magic 8 ball has a more cohesive thought process than the orange man.

FYI for anyone reading this. The user funds are not missing. This dude has a force closed transaction and then immediately opens an issue then blasts it on multiple social media platforms. He's got a transaction in the mempool but no LSP funds were swept.

Maybe you should chill for a second for us to help you before jumping to conclusions.

Perhaps we should distribute your coins first.

First, I discovered Ron Paul, then through him Ayn Rand and Objectivism, then Bitcoin. So by the time I discovered Bitcoin, I was primed. In fact, I had been stacking gold from 2010-2015. I become obsessed with Ayn Rand and Objectivist philosophy. I have read everything she ever wrote, including fiction, non-fiction, even her personal journal. I think she is one of the most misunderstood figures in modern history and will (eventually) be remembered as providing the philosophic cornerstone for the next and most prosperous era of humanity's history.

Any generic advice for Bitcoin startups?

Thanks to @k00b's recommendation last week, I was able to incorporate a startup with so much ease with AngelList Stack.

Now onto the raising journey. Got 2 investor meetings in the books already, just gotta continue that progress. Meanwhile continuing to iterate on what we're doing with Mutiny and project planning and design for the beta iteration.

Hey guys. Looking for any way possible to come up with a little over 100k sats so I can finally open my first ever lightning channel! Been saving for months and months, as soon as I hit 1m says I'm setting it up! And I'm only a little over 100k away! Any donations would be amazing! Amuna1225@ln.tips

Getting zapped is nerfed, while rewards are powered up.

I'm excited to see how it plays out. That 30% cut is probably going to make it so we stop using zaps for our various pools, which is a little disappointing.

FWIW I've personally setup an email server hosted on a consumer internet connection with a static IP. After setting up all the SPF and DKIM records properly, I could successfully deliver mail to Gmail just fine. So I think this is a bit overstated.

Quick thoughts as I listen - I'm not an expert.. but this seems like FUD.

"Rather than trying to fix the problems with Bitcoin, the community has decided to simply ignore them and create a different set of problems with the Lightning Network."

No... to "fix" the problem, necessarily would involve trade-offs.. trade offs no sensible person wants to make on L1.

Price volatility is not a problem.. certainly not one to be solved by engineering. Price is a reflection of the subjective valuations of network participants.

The reason bitcoin is the base layer of lightning is because bitcoin is fair, secure, valuable, decentralized etc. we can't just use "anything"

There are risks of custodial services centralizing on network.. that will be up to the users.. and to the extent that creates a problem, solutions to move away from custodial services will be developed.. it's still very early on. Plus its an open and permissionless protocol.

"both parties must agree to setup a channel, that is the opposite of permissionless"

No it isn't. That's called mutual voluntary exchange.

If there is a dispute between a lightning payment, it just settles back to the base chain.. not sure of the particulars here so I could be enlightened.

More decentralization of LN doesn't mean that a transaction will have to hop through more channels.. the opposite in fact. The network is much larger, with more nodes, and we get significantly higher successful routes now.

Government could attack lightning through calling them payment services/banks etc and regulation.. yes, we'll see if they do and if they can enforce it.
