 If you pay with credit you also get rewards + free dollar short. Just need nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0u3n0wh to release billpay to automate the sale & accounting.  
 switching back from coffee to maté.  feels way better.

🧉 only way to go. 
 What’s the best life advice you got or can give? Let’s compile a list: 

#asknostr 
 Solid advice 
 Let’s celebrate our Nostr integration with some eGifts today 🎉

Add your npub to Boardwalk a... 
 Love the idea of just integrating with nostr for contacts instead of trying to bootstrap a whole new network. Will this integrate with nostr zaps if you have nostr contacts that don't have a boardwalk account? 
 Since it's cashu/lightning it seems like you could show all of my nostr following that has a lightning address as a potential contact on boardwalk right? 
 Makes sense! Thanks!

 If you can’t do 500 push ups in a day you’re either physically weak, mentally weak or both. 
 Only 5000? 
 Is there any benefit in bolting holepunch onto nostr?  I'd imagine you could broadcast your holepunch ID as profile metadata and periodically check if followers with the ID are online and ask for updates to their notes, and possibly notes of shared followers? 
 Are zaps not a thing with Damus? I can’t figure out why I can’t see the zap button on anyone... 
 Some Apple store restriction afaik, can be restored with this script I think https://zap.army/ 
 The download functionality on grayjay.app is also pretty solid. 
 has anyone built nostr discussion forum software yet 
 Would love to see something like stacker.news territories where the owners can collect some percentage of zaps. 
 https://grayjay.app/ is pretty sweet, would be pretty awesome to replace the polycentric ID thing with nostr. 
 once a UX like this is nailed down, the TikTokers and Instagramers can use Nostr as a replacement... 
 Who pays for hosting media in this case? 
 He does say that he has never used a grill before... 😂 
 This is cool. Would be very interesting to see historical blocks mined with the same template, and what % of hashtate those groups represent. 
 If the amount is more than 1 million sats (approximately $700), put it in an onchain wallet. If i... 
 Maybe combined in one app and rotated up balance thresholds automatically? Watch-only balance being the highest level needing another signing device/method. 
 This sounds pretty slick, especially for deposits/receiving to be the most cost efficient and immediately usable.

 Yeah I'm curious what the actual issue is, it doesn't seem technically that difficult. Is it an accounting & compliance issue or what? 
 I would imagine the relay operates the mint and since lightning is used to get in/out your client could just use lightning to buy the exact amount of ecash needed for a stamp and then use that? Probably still prohibitively expensive with lightning fees for one stamp but maybe you could just round up to whatever makes sense whenever your balance is too low. 
 Yeah I don't see it as functionally different than you loading an account somewhere with credits, or a custodial wallet. I think it might be useful as a formalized way for people to spin up an account system within their app/service with lightning in/out and some privacy internally, but still just as risky as holding funds on anywhere else custodially. 
 we are at a very precarious point with lightning and bitcoin for sovereignty and privacy.

 Liquid is even easier to shut down? Why not just admit it's all lost and use fiat in that case

 Is US tax day anti-liquidity of any significance? 
 For a sec I thought the photo was some commemorative 6102 coins being sold by the mint 😂  
 I think mostly super low difficulty, this website has been tracking since the fork and BCH maintained roughly the same profitability.. until the halving at least https://fork.lol/ 
 Does kind of illustrate how resilient the whole difficulty adjustment system is imo

 If you don't want to give up caffeine entirely I've found yerba maté to be a lot more pleasant than coffee.

 Damn.. Garry's Mod is the only video game I ever got really into, thanks for your service. 
 Anyone got a search engine they really like? 
 SearXNG has been pretty sweet, idk how enjoyable using public instances is though or their response times https://github.com/searxng/searxng 
 I use/recommend Firefox but this article says "Improving content filtering support by providing more generous limits in the declarativeNetRequest API for static rulesets and dynamic rules" which actually improves support for adblockers 
 The privacy benefits to miners seems really fascinating. From what I understand, the reward is pooled still and would be un-linkable to individual miners on withdrawal, even to the guardians?
