I am big dreamer. I absolutely love sleeping. I have intense vivid dreams. Even the darker ones are exciting to me. Sometimes I am in control, while knowing I am dreaming. It's like a magical limitless playground. I really enjoy this. So waking up sometimes feels challenging even though my life is beautiful. Sometimes I want to sleep forever.
It used to be my job or school that got me out of bed, with an alarm of course. Other times, it was about my kids. Even drinking morning coffee has been a reason to get up. Now non of these apply, it's hard to get motivated to get moving. There is nothing outside of my own will to move me. Once I am up and moving, I can really enjoy my day. It seems obvious to say "just do it", and move but I struggle with that.
So, I ask, what gets you up in the morning? Does anyone else have lucid dreams? Is sleeping exciting for you? Do you wake up excited to get moving or is there some outside force that pulls you? I love to hear from you all.
Spending the week building some workout equipment from a HUGE fallen tree branch that was unfortunately struck by lightning. I successfully fashioned a 20 lb bar from an appropriately sized chunk of the branch (via chainsaw, orbital sander and redwood stain).
Today I am going to carve out some smaller weights, and start working on my home -made squat rack and pull-up bar setup.
Any leftover wood will be used for future furniture projects. When nature blesses you with millions of sats worth of high quality wood, it would be a shame not to use the beautiful resource to its fullest extent, without waste. Working out by building workout equipment -exciting times!
All the things that actually harden bitcoin like p2p exchange, self-custody and mining decentralization is always underfunded. In general, however, funding for bitcoin companies draws from an extremely small pool of capital compared to 'crypto' or trad industries.
Government forcing the businesses to only use bitcoin through licensed providers - looks like EU wants to do just that. They won't ban bitcoin outright. Instead they'll say "in its infinite wisdom and mercy, the Crown allows the plebs to use that p2p thingy they're running around with, but of course not in any p2p manner. See, we're not stifling innovation!".
So the Crown will allow businesses to accept payments in bitcoin but only through a licensed serviced provider. Of course the users will be required to KYC. That is not an empty threat, already for example if you try to pay through BitPay it says "Verification Required: Due to European regulatory requirements, one-time customer verification is now required for all cryptocurrency payments".
And then you might send $1 to some protesters and suddenly you're locked out of BitPay and its ilk for some reason. And the merchants will shrug and tell you to use the CBDC instead or whatever. (Of course you'd be also locked out of CBDCs.)
I'm just here learning about lightning network and discovered this cool stacker news website :) trying my 5 free comments :)
I have installed Breez wallet and did my first lightning login ever by taking a picture of the QR here and my mind was blown.
This is so cool to be able to login in a site like this! Where can I learn more about what is really happening under the hood when doing it? What information is sent from my wallet? And is Breez ok to use? I read that Muun was recommended but I guess Breez works too. Is there any other wallet I should have a look?
Thank you and have a great weekend.
I missed your post yesterday so this was perfect!
Just a reckless zapper.

I'll be honest, I find myself taking a few of the high signal links that are sometimes posted to "recent" and reposting it on nostr for more engagement / conversation around it. Sometimes don't really have an incentive to upvote the original along the way. High quality conversations here don't seem to happen like they used to. It's just community stuff now. Which is fine if that's what it ends up being and most people are happy with it.
Probably not a very good user but this is what the incentives align up for me atm. I'll upvote something if it's OG and I feel like adds signal but otherwise I think I'll lurk more and just scan recent for news to share opinions on elsewhere. Maybe it's from many more users, or maybe the comment rewards are gamed too much by the circle jerking in the saloon, but the high signal conversations have fallen off.
