not much to play with, kinda tempted to bust down on the credit card


Lol maybe 48 gang is around the corner, bring on the FUD


So after the latest mcflurry of sell orders, I'm seeing a golden arch pattern forming, which is a clear sign of working the drive-through until the ice cream machine breaks resistance

Is their even a tainted UTXO if they're destroyed and new ones are created when transfers are made?

The moment the defence, Aka army and police no longer accept or believe in the currency it tends to die pretty fast, or so I've read from Roman history


Decided to try out my first nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqyzvsj7vrkax8pqqtrq4tcmmyq34twpq8a89te4k02u9r3tdfaa6a2cvlzu4  to Lightning payment using #marinawallet,  still 1330 liquid blocks to go before the transaction is finalised and I can't request a refund

The things I am willing to waste sats on, and have mild stress about so I can learn by doing lol

For sure if you can automate the admin, you can reduce a lot of the cost versus traditional debt collection and I guess they have a certain repayment rate they are happy with if a few suckers are paying it back, it can cover some that dont


Okay now you're starting add the pieces to the puzzle, so they're banking on overcharging the customer, reminds me a lot of those rent to own places where you can buy a appliance for say $30 a month, but at the end you paying $400 for a $120 appliance

I found this video on YouTube talking about the biggest firms in the BNPL space, also firms that pitched themselves as tech companies, so they managed to raise insane amounts of money without needing to show much upfront revenue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1JaMRpcDrQ


Maybe I'm just an old head, like i get credit cards, I have one, I pay with it i move the funds over and square, but I had the cash in the first place, splitting payments for anything that is not a massive purchase like a car or home seems weird to me


Thanks, understood, but for the provider making money on selling data can't be all that much revenue, or do they sell the debt on to brokers or funds too?

Because how do you manage the debt book, that costs money to chase up delinquent payments or do repo goods if that is even possible, doesn't seem like the most sustainable business model without strict access to this payment option, but if you strict you limit your reach of customer base


Could be yes, if as the other commentor says AfterPay is AUS and Klarna is Swedish, they probably have better integration with retailers to push it as a payment option, but even then, the product is after a certain type of user, I assume credit cards are not supporting?

https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt2312e.htm


And Klarna I assume for Sweden, but why would people opt for these services over credit cards?


I found this chart rather interesting, why is #Sweden  and #Australia  so heavily into buy now pay later #BNPL  services?

Lol All his characters in fact, Ali, Bruno, Borat and Admiral General, bro went so hard in the early aughts


I find that some clients don't always broadcast when I think they do, for me coracle has been the most reliable


She definately bagged the premium as one of the first to sell the blockchain ponzi at scale, I've followed the BBC podcast about her, and she was connected with a lot of high profile people in Eastern Europe and I'm pretty sure we don't know the full story

It's very hard to just up and ghost like she's done, without someone spotting you, given how popular her story was at the time, and now with a 5 million dollar bounty, how do you continue hide without help from people who couldn't care about 5 M's?


Lol too many people want someone to save them,

The fact that they nabbed her brother and some of the inner circle and she's still incognito is impressive in itself, not sure who shes paid off, or how shes pulling this off.

She and the bitconnect guys were the first major ponzis to rek a lot of people, so I'm sure there's a lot of people who would love to see her caught eventually, but the money is gone man, you not getting it back


Lol I wasn't scammed by her either, but I have been scammed by others when i first got in and you know more power to them for teaching me a lesson.

In my latest piece for Forbes Crypto, I highlight the whirlwind of events following the controversial finance bill, the protests and its success, the resilience of the youth and their view of Bitcoin's role in Kenya's future 🇰🇪 ❤

Noelyne Sumba, a stellar Kenyan Bitcoiner and Machakura team member, put it best, "Many young Kenyans see Bitcoin as a way to escape the restrictive monetary policies imposed by international financial institutions, which have contributed to the country's economic challenges. Integrating Bitcoin into the financial system could reduce reliance on foreign debt and offer a way out from oppressive government policies that hinder economic and individual growth."

Very proud of—and inspired by—the resilience shown by fellow Kenyan Bitcoiners and the youth on the ground in fighting against this bill and winning.

Here's to amplifying the voices of those we've lost over the last week and those who continue to fight 🕊

3) Any other income

Just to prove I haven't been nailed enough by income tax, inflation, VAT, Petrol Tax, Import duties, property tax and fees

I know I have it much easier than people in the developed world where they really on your arse about these things, but how isn't getting rid of all this admin and obvious win for everyone?

Bitcoin journalism is fucked.

I started The Rage because I'm tired of investors and advertisers telling me what to do for below minimum wage compensation.

What we need are publications willing to let journalists investigate the crap out of the companies, representatives and people enabling the building of surveillance tech behind the scenes.

What we get are publications selling out to corporations, startups and politicians writing public relations puff pieces to keep their returns on track. The point of journalism is to hold power to account, not to become its bedfellow.

There is no lack of talented, experienced, investigative journalists covering bitcoin. The problem is that they write what the powers that be don't want you to hear – so many are out of a job, dabbling away at the next press release for mainstream media, or doing below-minimum wage contract work to pay the bills.

I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive feedback we've been getting for The Rage. In just 8 weeks we've scooped major publications and drove discussions around AML, Samourai and Tornado Cash together with your help. We've even made enough to cover operations with almost 400$ raised, thanks to all the zappers out there.

But here's the thing. I didn't come here to write a good piece every once in a while leaving stories untold left and right because I can't afford to focus on investigations full time. I came here to fuck up the financial surveillance complex. That's why The Rage now needs your help.

We're trying to raise 0.25BTC so we can contract the best investigative journalists in the Bitcoin space to tell the stories that major publications can't afford to print.

If you value your financial freedom, please consider donating via our Geyser fund. We cannot do this without your help.

Since the last 2 years of blackouts South African households and businesses were chomping at the bits to get solar setup, but now they're finding out the premium they need to pay to keep this energy production going is far higher than relying on traditional energy sources.

A lot of people seem to see voting for trump as „the lesser of two evils“,  wondering what else they can do to protect their bitcoin from regulatory overreach.

But the US isnt „the greatest country in the world“ because of its presidents - if anything, it is *in spite* of them.

The US government consists of more than the presidency. It has a fairly well working judiciary in place, which exists to help the people hold the government accountable and ensure that no laws will be passed infringing on your rights (doesnt always work but often does).

From a legal perspective, the US is a great place for bitcoin due to its laws around free speech and enterprise, which enshrines the use and ownership of bitcoin not just as property, but as a tool for communication.

The problem ergo isnt the politicians. The problem is your own complete political apathy when it comes to anything other than elections.

If you want to protect your bitcoin, stop spending millions of dollars and thousands of hours supporting political candidates who will say anything to get your votes only to drop you like a hot potato once elected. Instead, use that time and money to boycott and organize - its what the system was designed for.

There are enough grounds to sue the US government, private citizens, companies and institutions if the right to own, use or interact with bitcoin was to be infringed, and its how the majority of civil liberties were established.

Ending racial segregation in schools didnt happen by presidential decree - it happend through Brown vs. Board of Education. The right to an attorney: Gideon v Wrainwright. Interracial marriage: Loving v Virginia. Burning of the US flag as speech: Texas v Johnson. Right to abortion (though now overturned): Roe v Wade. Same sex marriage: Obergefell v Hodges. Porn on the internet: ACLU v Reno.

You have rights, and you need to stop thinking that you are powerless without some babbling politician to enforce them. Spend the time and money on grassroots organizing, which is much more in the spirit of bitcoin anway. Politicians hate this trick.

My Bitcoin and Nostr article from last year still reflects my views. Open money and open information.

Definitely worth a read if you haven’t done so. I re-read it today on a flight from the Oslo Freedom Forum, where these concepts were a big theme. It organized a lot of things I’ve learned from many people.

Open interoperable ecosystems, choice of algorithms, permissionless foundations for developers, etc.

If I were to write it today, I would emphasize Nostr as a social graph and discovery mechanism for Bitcoin/ecash wallets. That’s really come a long way over the past year.

Payjoins could kinda help but theres a coordination problem, using P2P would help but people preffer to give up privacy for scale and convenience

I think privacy always carries a premium, in bitcoin it's more fees, in something like zcash or monero, you have less avenues for liquidity and you also lose purchasing power versus bitcoin the longer you remain in those ecosystems.

Privacy is important, I use coinjoin, I've tried join market, I've used CT on liquid, I get it, it's not a perfect system, people and businesses have to use the tools provided and they won't always be applicable or the cost to do it might be too much for the user to feel its worth it

I am always open to discussions, and happy to take the time to verify things myself, if you can point me in the right direction, I run my own node, I have my own lightning node, I've tried liquid I actively use these things now

I've used EVM chains like ETH, BSC, I've tried out MATIC, I've used TRON they're all pretty much variant flavours of the same flaws.

I've yet to see a blockchain that hasn't sacrificed decentralisation and simplicity for throughput

Welcome to the movement


Lol some of us have gotten used to eating, just can't kick the habit, we all will have times where we see something we value more than our savings


Lol should change their name to OkRekt


How so? I've used other blockchains in the past, I've looked into it, I've read their non-sensical fantastical white papers, why is the burden of proof on me to prove that my claims are backed by something but these altcoins have no burden of proof to back up their claims?


Good on them donating to the miners, could have spun up a nostr account and zapped every user all 100k sats if they're in such a giving mood


Lol you telling me you're an exchange and paying 254 BTC in fees was the better option than hiring a dev to run scripts to stagger these transactions?

Pretty sure they could have saved over 200 BTC easy

Make it make sense


Cold have netted some sweet blocks, some fees were more than the subsidy


Mempool looking chill after OKx doing some UTXO spring cleaning with

- 2385 transactions
- spending 357092 inputs
- consuming 103 MvB
- 246.65 s/vb avg fee rate
- cost 254.28 BTC in total fees
- (17.6 million USD in fees 🤯)
- recouped 1738.26 BTC

https://coinedition.com/okx-backlog-snarls-bitcoin-transactions-fees-surge/


Its a tough problem to solve, no other blockchain is offering up anything better, LN is so far the best we've got, and even that's pretty clunky to manage on your own, but hopefully future upgrades like convenants, channel factories, eltoo make things a lot easier for the average person to get involved


No bridging is differnet, you're essentially sending your coins to a Bitcoin multi-sig and then a custodian lets say BitGo issues a token on lets say Ethereum and you get token BTC on ETH,

Its claimed to be backed, but there's no real way to enforce that on-chain, if you want to reclaim the Bitcoin you have to hope once you return the tokens to the smart contract the custodian will release the bitcoin back to you on the main chain.

I think you're always taking economic risk moving to another blockchain/L1, if you price any other chains native asset in bitcoin you can see its a straight downward trajectory pricing in sats

You also have little oversight into other chains, how many chains can you run a node on cost effectively? You're just taking that chain at their word and interacting with 3rd parties, like ETH you trust the validitors, you trust the code, you trust the wallet provider, you trust the nodes, you trust the cloud service provider the validators.

How do you verify anything when the cost to eliminate all those 3rd parties and use the chain directly prices most people out?


I think there is a lot of PTSD after failed custody in the past, we've seen so many ruggings with exchanges and that was when BTC was cheap as chips to move on-chain now that it's not the case or not always the case its' encouraging the custody model

The simplistic answer is every scaling option that doesn't allow full unilateral exit is a shitcoin, but reality isn't simplistic and people are dynamic and can choose the risk they are comfortable with using.

In the end opinions are only one part of it, and the market demand is the real test, no one has it figured out, and by trying is how we learn, yes there will be failures along the way and lost capital but that's the cost of doing business


From my understanding you could "bridge" Bitcoin to another L1, but it's always a half baked solution, since you give over custody to get an IOU on the other L1 with no way to enforce the IOU or exit without trusting the custodian, like we see with wrapped Bitcoin.

Then you might as well just use a federated model like fedi or liquid, at least you're distributing the custody risk across multiple custodians.

So far I haven't seen anything that can hit all the requirements you list above, something has always gotta give in the trade off


The flippening is coming, we're up only this side


My two moods

- Mood 1: Fundamentals, fixed supply, Austrian economics, sovereignty, self custody
- Mood 2: NGU, NGMI, HFSP, If you don't get it i don't have time to explain it to you

I listened to the What Bitcoin Did Saylor podcast, and I really want to respond, though that may be unwise. But I want thoughtful, fearless content in my feed, so I should start making some, right?

Firstly, while analogies can provide useful guide rails for understanding, listening to people *arguing* using analogies makes you stupider. Debate the thing itself, not the words about the thing: it hurts my head to even think about doing this, so I won't.

Let's set my priors first: I assume we're talking about technically solid, well-vetted, backward compatible protocol changes: this is the minimum bar.

I don't wholesale agree with Saylor's "don't threaten anyone's investment" hard limit. This has happened multiple times in the past, from the dust limit breaking SatoshiDice, enabling Lightning threatening miner fees (real or not), and segwit breaking stealth ASICBoost. These interests can, and will, stand up for themselves and will compete against other benefits of changes.

To be explicit: I consider any protocol change which makes block space usage more efficient to be a win!

Obviously Saylor is invested in Bitcoin the asset, and can afford to do all his business onchain in any conceivable scenario. His projection of a Bitcoin world in which there are 100,000 companies and governments who use Bitcoin as the base layer is interesting:
1. This does not need "smart contracts", just signatures. By this model, Bitcoin Script was a mistake.
2. It can work if Bitcoin does not scale and is incredibly expensive to spend and hold. By this model, the consumer hardware wallet industry is a dead-end and needs to pivot to something else (nostr keys, ecash?)
3. You could do this with gold, today? Bitcoin here is simply an incremental, not fundamental, improvement. I think this is suggestive, though: that such a network would not be long-term stable, and very much subject to capture.
4. In this view, Saylor is simply a gold bug with first mover advantage, shilling his bags. That's fine, but it's important to understand people's motivations.
5. This vision does not excite me. I wouldn't have left Linux development to work on making B2B commerce more efficient. I wouldn't get up at 5:30am for spec calls, and I sure as hell wouldn't be working this cheap.

I believe we can make people's UTXOs more powerful, and thus feel a moral responsibility to do so. This gives them more control over their own money, and allows more people to share that control. I assume that more people will do good things than stupid things, because assuming the other way implies that someone should be able to stop them, and that's usually worse.

I believe the result will be a more stable, thus useful, Bitcoin network. I am aware that this will certainly benefit people with very different motivations than me (Saylor).

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the length!


Can you give me an example? Like Bitcoin and ETH?


I can see nostr forming some part of it, coordinating transactions like with payjoins


We've got some top VCs backing our project!


Lol you're being close minded bro, come on we're innovating bro


I don't know what you mean, Bitcoin isn't going to outpace inflation unless their is demand, demand can only be driven by people who have capital they don't plan to consume today, people only have capital by producing something

As for remote work, no I don't agree, we all have different skills that are distributed among the population, we need division of labour for this whole big thing to run, some have the skills that work in a digital economy, others don't! Everyone can't be a knowledge worker, someone has to transport goods and services


Hmm somewhat, i guess on a micro my life span is what I have to generate income and then figure out how to store that value and on a macro labour is focused on driving deflation


Lol honey whats wrong you've hardly touched Monstouter?


Lol my life span, my tolerance, white rhino horn


We're a next generation Bitcoin L2, bringing high speed transaction settlement, low cost, smart contracts and we're going to be the number 1 scaling environment

How would this energy source work? I'm no energy expert, but I don't get how we would just pull energy out of something at super low costs, they've been chasing the fusion dream for ages now

Surely someone would have leaked it and dare I say it, if there was such valuable info, you could just embed it in the bitcoin blockchain if someone wanted the world to know about it


No Dex's on Bitcoin as far as I know, you can go P2P using robosats or use a swapping service like  nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 if you've got to move between layers


Hell no!

#Netflix costs R22.99, #Disney+ $13.99, #Apple TV is $9.99, if you watch 8 new releases per month, that's R$.88 per movie, and i'm told this is better

But you could hire a VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray for like $2 and you could meet a cute girl

the FU crew strikes again, my dream will be to see more people running nodes and small scale mining, supporting mixing co-ordinators, running P2P marketers, the tech is already there, the demand to use them just needs to ramp up, and nothing ramps it up more than a crack down

How do we turn this flared gas into mining bitcoin is my question


PSA on one of my favorite bitcoin companies (until today unfortunately).

Bitrefill has sold me prepaid mastercards from a company that appears to be a scam. Unfortunately bitrefill is not answering my DMs and customer support has been handwaving arguments all day. I'm honestly somewhere between angry, sad and disappointed and really at a lost for words rn, so I hope this helps me get my money back.

I bought several of these prepaid Mastercards on Bitrefill's site, advertised as ‚accepted anywhere Mastercard is accepted‘. Except they’re not accepted ‚anywhere Mastercard is accepted‘ – in fact, they are accepted nowhere returning 'this card is not recognized'.

So now my money is stuck, and Bitrefill says it can’t give it back because it sold me a valid giftcard coupon for a product that does not seem to be legitimate.

I’m a huge fan of bitrefill and have been using their services for years, so I’m extremely surprised that they would a) offer such a product in the first place and b) respond (or rather not respond) the way they did when being confronted with the problem.

It seems that bitrefill has done zero due diligence on this product and simply copy/pasted their marketing claims to their site. I have always trusted bitrefill to offer high quality products so I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it would be great if they could give me my money back after a series of very unsuccessful customer support contact with their team.

I have spent all day going through several mind bending headaches in attempts to retrieve my money which seems to be close to impossible looking at trust pilot reviews. As I’ve also shared with bitrefill's customer support agent, I’m not the only person who has had this experience with this card issuer, after which the bitrefill agent apparently decided to just stop responding.

My DMs are open to resolve this issue (and I hope bitrefill will take this product off of their site immediately).

https://m.primal.net/IUqC.mp4


Medium of exchange only is the name of the game now, eventually it gets to a point where borrowing and servicing the minimum is the winning play as you stack assets, think of people who are in Nigeria, Argentina etc,

If you borrowed and bought assets and the government just halfs your debt burden in a year why wouldn't you continue?


#Nocoiners trying to keep up with asset price inflation with shrinking annual wages thinking more fiat will solve their problem.

Fiat will only weigh you down!

What's your solar setup like? Might F around and try it for myself


I came across this video the other day, people are feeling it and have to go through the process of elimination, first you try to cut down to give yourself margin.

Then save and fail, then you try eventually figure out that you need to be in some sort of asset, and buy poor performing ones, then you go risk on, and either get cleaned out or by some luck you get to Bitcoin and fall down the rabbit hole

It takes so many steps and willingness to take them, loads of people give up along the way and turn commie hoping gubbamint will save dem

As soon as its working on Knots I am there like a bear


Big WIFI node, when knots fix? Still can't get my depedancies to connect


ROFL, never too late to grow one, I believe you can pull it off, maybe get a monocle to round off the look


I don't think they're all sitting their washing their hands with johnny walker, twirling their moustaches, I believe there are bad apples and there are those think they're doing the right thing in many cases, yet the end result for the citizen is the same.

I just think the incentive structure encourages debasement, at all cost. You can be commie, capitalist, or a monarch, if you debasing the currency its all the same for the citizen.


You and I will get along well, I like the way you vibe


This and that mannequin challenge had the internet f'd up for weeks


It's part of civil society bro, you want your voice heard bro, please bro, people died for this right bro, if it was such a good service, would you need to convince me?

No one had to sell the smartphone to me or sneakers, they serve a purpose so I participate in that market lol


I get the whole lets not make a little change the enemy, I'm just so black pilled to the whole thing, I don't see how having coalitions makes a difference if the incentive is to debase and missalocate resources regardless, is anyone talking about the trillions of debt, or the 285 billion in interest?

No because they all want the same thing, wealth without providing labour, goods or services to the market.

I get my view is a bit of a pipe dream, but what i'd like is smaller government, smaller and smaller and smaller, but how does voting achieve that?


The masses will never be too lazy to vote, thats why they the masses, they sold on the freebie, on the idea that politicians are alchemists who can produce something by decree

I have no problem with local groups, business, and communties doing their thing, driving change on a grass roots level, I encourage it, but property rights for is the main thing, everything else is downstream of that

I think voting with your money is more effective, which is what I am focusing on, its where I can affect the most change, casting an X one one of 70 grifter parties doesn't appeal to me


Lol but the team I voted for is taxing me, so its okay the cope is on another level


Just gotta keep going with the motion, maybe things will change is the weirdest cope

I vote everyday with my money and its a far more effective vote


Because cars are tuned to use a certain fuel, that can generate a certain amount of energy and doesn't gunk up the parts, it needs to be a certain purity.

Sure you can mix vege oil with other things, same with ethanol, but it will affect the performance, and lifespan of the vehicle,


My grandmother asks me today if i'm going to vote tomorrow, I said no, I see no reason to, it affects nothing

She responds, so you don't belong to this country?

I know the previous generation battled for the "right to vote" so they have a sunk cost and a certain affection to it, but its still funny that voting every 4 years is seen as participating in the country

But all the work and value you create is not? Lol why does it matter who violates my property rights? Why does it matter which cohort gets to benefit from that inflation and tax theft?

F all that!


The USD I am spending is mostly people who pay me in USD or USDT so I'm just converting that, as for the Rands I have to convert, ya I take the knock on it and on the swap rates, but worth it for having self custody and semi-non-kyc, while you can see I bought USDT, they don't know what I did with it


Lol he is a degenerate gambler and a man city fan, i doubt it

but easiest way is to buy stables on a regulated exchange and swap them using a P2P platform or swapping service, SARS don't know you're swapping it out for BTC
