Food court kiosks are the best way to use SN

@gnilma 😂
Now that Fountain’s latest earning features have rolled out, I’ve been thinking if this could lead to competition among applications that offer Sats for different kinds of engagement.
(For example, if people are making a lot by listening to Fountain podcasts, will Stacker News be pressured to respond with additional earnings features in order to get that bandwidth back? 😄)
We’re still very early, but as more apps are built on Lightning, one could see this getting… intense. After all, there’s only a finite amount of Sats to go around 🍿
I hope someday SN will offer lndhub for SN accounts. Users could use SN wallet in Zeus or Bluewallet app directly.
Hosted channels and lndhub are a good simple way to onboard new users.
Later they can add more self custodial wallets once they learn more.
I explained here a scenario that experienced bitcoiners should do: LN banks for friends and families

Nothing wrong with some level of custodial accounts, if the user is well informed.
Also if are not KYC could be a good decoy mode to receive sats with increased level of privacy.
As I explained in this guide

"Do not try and time the market. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth."
What truth?
"1 sat = 1 sat"
1 sat = 1 sat?
"Then you'll see that it is not the price that changes, it is only yourself."
There is no green, there is no red, there is only orange

No but seriously, just like everybody else, you don't realize its the top at the time you're supposed to be selling.

"I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.
so i've had some whiskey
actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky
w/e
sue me
(but only if it's payable in BTC)"
Life-like sex robots? Hey, don't shoot the messenger.
Finally got around to start up Atlas Shrugged. Haven't gotten further than a couple chapters but I'm loving it!
Since I'm already a von-mises style libertarian crazy semi-anarchist, I look forward to this book turning me into an off the walls maniacally shrugging extremist who runs around town just saying the word bitcoin like a bitcoin-pokemon.
perhaps then my father will finally respect me
Finally beginning work on personalized feeds.
The fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
I was depressed. I am not letting someone lose their spirit of life again !
The fact that there are bitcoin specific wallets in which you can store your keys and transact in all sorts of interesting ways. I'm not in this for the investment, but a lot of alts always act like that's the point of this thing
I've started to realize that a really good UX around non-custodial mobile LN wallets is further away than many people think. I don't think its impossible, but it's a very challenging technical problem. That said, I'm glad some very smart people are working on it.
Hi @k00b. James Lavish has agreed to do an AMA on SN. I am going to coordinate a date that works with him. Hope that works for you. Let me know if there is anything I need to do besides coordinating a date and time and ensuring he gets set up on SN.
