wonderful devices... about time to break into mining?!?


but ... we choose to be the mature adults, we are and leave it alone.


but a zap to mrecheese worked...


I tried zapping Corndalorian hours ago, and again just now... both failed.


... and one moose.


I'm buying at every price.
... I call it saving
... and I save in bitcoin.

Every time I get paid, what I do not need soon goes into bitcoin for long term savings.


GM Gigi...  have a wonderful day!


GM, everyone... Looks like a beautiful day here... hope you can enjoy your  as much as I plan to enjoy mine.  😃

way to reinforce the stereotype that a large portion of male "thought" occurs between your legs.

Conversely... I do agree that a trophy-worthy rack should be prominently displayed.  😉


Your farm has laser eyes?!?
... nice!


zaps working great now!


cannot add any technical details here, but wanted to say that I have hooked coinos wallet to my Alby browser extension for zapping.  Its working but has some minor issues with how it integrates with the Alby extension.  (so I guess, if you can make it 'fully compatible' that would be great. 🙏)


The only thing I use Alby for is Nostr zaps... does not make sense to run my own node to support zaps for a nym.  (I do have a node and self-custody my IRL stack) but for just zapping, I love the 'old-Alby' ...


Set up a lightning wallet for zaps... had to settle for just liking the note.  😉


Welcome to nostr!
Great to see you here.


Thank you very much... appreciate the input.


what does your gut tell you is the minimum UTXO size that you are comfortable holing long term?  ... 1 million sats?


thanks ... just figured it out... not their primary focus, so took a little investigation... gonna give it a try 😄


can you use coinos to send and receive zaps?

Supreme Court Judge Bans Brazil from X.


question for the collective:  In my primary cold wallet, how many utxo's should I maintain?  everyone's stack is different... but over time (especially as I DCA, and occasionally consolidate) what is the ideal for my cold utxo(s)?

*  one
   *  when low fees are present consolidate the DCA utxos ... you may never reach just one utxo, but keep consolidating when you can.

*  several
   *  consolidate to utxos of at least ___ (pick your threshold) to avoid high fees making the utxo un-spendable
   *  but do not consolidate everything into ONE utxo so you can eventually spend one (or more) without revealing the full size of your stack
   *   strike a balance based on ___ (some logical thought process)

*  none of the above... approach it from an entirely different angle... please explain...

Nice to see.
... That's a GM to me!


Your body will make all of the blood-glucose you need... from Fats and Proteins.

There are essential Proteins, and essential Fats.  There are no essential Carbs.

I've been some variant of NSNG, low-carb, no-carb, carnivore for 10 years.  Love the results. Love how I feel. Love the confused looks on my doctor's face each year.  😂


GM!


the carbs will kill you... stick with straight whiskey.


Proof of Humility... 😁

... Stay Humble...


yes... makes it pretty clear.
We should stop letting them run the country.


Very true.  If you have to sell bitcoin, you needed to keep a larger % of your savings in cash.

Keep BTC reserves for at least 4 years (preferably 10) ... Over any 4+ year period BTC always went up... usually a lot.

Every business is different... your cash to BTC ratio will vary.


We know about the transaction fees paid when debit and credit cards are used... But the US government is stealing 6-8% of the value of your cash each year.

 ... as long as you do not hold your cash longer than a month, I suppose you could say that you 'retain 100% of its value' ... but if you hold cash long term the value melts away.   The government guarantees that you slowly lose value, while keeping you focused on those evil bank fees. (...which are a lot less evil than the government.)


do not need that part... just use: https://vpn.sovereign.engineering/


Glad to hear it.
A lot of to-do about the failures... I am happy to help advertise the successes.  :-)
Enjoy the next 20, it keeps getting better!


hopefully the hole-punchers and the miners were in operation in separate facilities.

I keep reminding myself of this option... usually in the mornings ... but at night it makes less sense to me...

yeah... good thing I'm getting old.   I can start regular withdrawals to a DCA service... convert a lot of it to corn before I'm forced to 'retire'.  😉


Proof of Stupidity?  hmm....


change it up... throw in the classic:  Get off my lawn!https://m.primal.net/HflB.png


Why does that matter?  does your definition of success include income from zaps?

throw some notes out there if you feel strongly about something ...

comment on other people's posts when you feel like it...

Do what makes you happy ... if other people join your game, great ... but that is not success.


Unfortunately the same (dictator with a disregard for human life and a track record of deceit) can be said about most "western" leaders now.

They are all lying to us, and the media supports it.  There are very few journalists who even try to speak-truth-to-power.

Is Tucker 'Hyping it up'... yes.

Is Putin using Tucker to deliver a skewed message ... most certainly.

But censoring these messages is never a good thing.

We need to rely on everyone's built in intelligence and skepticism to identify the skewed messages and down-right lies for themselves.   ...unfortunately (again) these muscles have atrophied in today's 'modern society'.


yep.
guilty.


Nice.
always love new tech-toys 😃


how many "servers" behind that KVM?


try #asknostr with a question... lots of people follow that hashtag.

try exploring the latest global posts (careful plenty of NSFW Content)... but find some notes you like, and follow their authors

try searching all of nostr for subjects you do like, and follow the intelligent users you find.

nostr is what you make it... go make it yours.


yep.  Not a bad idea to appear to big-brother to be a rule follower, even if you have an interest in the subversive bitcoin-thing.

BUT... you gotta be sure to keep the KYC and non-KYC stack entirely separate.  If you cannot do this, 100%, then your non-KYC stack will become exposed (tied to your identity) and all of your non-KYC efforts will be wasted.  (except for stacking... that is never wasted.) ... and you may have to pay penalties for any non-KYC gains which are now exposed.

i.e. a good idea, but start small, keep it simple, and make sure you can keep it isolated.


I've been told I am a solid 7.


Exactly! ... if you are ever on the opposite side of the argument from Lyn ... you better review your logic 10-20 times ... because I guarantee she has.  (I will not say she is NEVER wrong... I'll let history prove that out.)

GM!


That is a lot of changes to the fundamental building blocks of Bitcoin.  I would need to see clear reasons for each vetted and accepted publicly.  I would start out arguing against each one, and would need to be convinced to support each small change.  I am not alone on this, and the changes would be insanely hard to get through as you describe them.

I have become convinced, over years, that scaling through layers is the only way we will succeed. It will take 2-3 times as much convincing to flip me to the other side of this dispute.  But I'll keep listening and learning...


Scarcity in block space is desirable also.   Competition for block space keeps fees up, which will replace the subsidy over time, keeping the mining incentive healthy.

Scarcity in storage space (i.e. my ability to keep a copy of the block chain on inexpensive hardware) is already here ... some people struggle to set up a node for financial reasons.  The fewer people can financially run a node, the more centralized the network becomes.

Cheap transactions should rise to Level 2, 3, and eventually 4 as each level becomes overburdened.  This evolution is natural, expected, and desired.  ... Assuming you want bitcoin/Bitcoin to expand to serve as the global currency.


No.  Scarcity is a major foundational component of the value.  Do not threaten the stability of Bitcoin, or bitcoin.  Either will be met with very loud and obstinate resistance.


Good Morning!   Stay Humble ... but have a great weekend.


why milk?
... got kittens?


You are conflating friends and a following.
your friends can follow you... but they are not your followers.  If they are true friends they should also lead you to new places, challenge your leadership/views/opinions, and occasionally kick you in the ass when you need it.  Followers will do none of these things.


did you try 32.8 billion BTC? ... I mean you gotta leave a bit for the fees...


the southern drawl is proper in this case.  :-)


wen threaded conversations?


Lowering Carb intake... over and over again... until I am almost at zero carbs.  (I don't avoid what I get in some vegetables.)

... and making sure that the replacement for those carbs are healthy fats, and good protein.  (not highly processed garbage... stick to food with one or two ingredients.)


understood.
Actively ignoring this post.  👍


Nope.


True.  But I do not want to use transit, and I am too lazy to walk or bike.

Look into it.  ... and Bisq, and Robosats, etc.  the Exchanges are the cheapest and easiest way to get sats... but in the event that your exchange, or all exchanges, get shut down... how do you trade in/out of sats/local currency? ... understand your options... have a plan B.
