You'll need mega SATs if you want to build your own models with the hardware. Not so much if you only want to serve prebuilt models.


As usual depends on your needs. Do you need just something or something powerful? Do you need the support that you'd get with start9 or can you support yourself?

Contribute to the FOSS projects that you use personally, here you know best why it's important, how it works, and what can be improved.
Start by reviewing the pull requests of other contributors to be useful instantly and learn your way around the code base. Then find an open issues that's in your interest and skill range, propose a solution, incorporate feedback, and deliver a pull request.
Do that for a while, and if you're actually useful, then someone is likely to toss you some sats.


Fun Fact. I was their first customer.

And aslo their latest. Nice design.

It was refreshing to go from zero to having a semi sanely structured codebase serving a simple express get endpoint reading as I went along in about two hours.


Yeah just define what you need as you go. Am wondering how to structure a large project in the best way with this style though. I feel its going to take a few mistakes before we get it right. For instance, if you're using a fixed version of an npm dependency and it's used all over the place, it'll be a pain in the bum when it comes to do a version bump.

One simply would not trust a global search and replace for such matters.

I had a few playlists disappear. One was a prepped list for my sisters wedding two weeks before the event. I quick contact with then and it was back within in an hour.


So some secret shady node runner decided to abuse my brand new nothing burger node by opening a channel, circular spending a bunch of SATs to Wallet of Satoshi and closing the channel. All in the space of a few hours.

Did I lose anything, no. Funds are safu. Well, as safu any any coin can be in a hot wallet.

But I have a drastically reduced amount spendable on lightning so need to open another channel, and of course, as soon as this need arises, fees go up again.

Panicked or ambivalent about nonce key exfiltration? Don’t be - Focus effort into adding anti-klepto to a new version of PSBT instead of taking shots at each other or dismissing concerns.

What is the nonce key exfiltration attack?

When signing a bitcoin transaction a number is used to generate the signature, this number is used once, and is therefore called the nonce.

This should be a cryptographically secure random number, which is never reused.

Suppose an attacker compromises your signing device, and can get it to use a particular nonce, rather than a random number.

If they use part of your private key as the nonce, they can leak part of your private key out of your signing device with each transaction you sign and broadcast.

If you make enough transactions, they can reconstruct your whole private key, and steal your bitcoin, just by watching the bitcoin transactions being made and decoding each part of the private key. They don't need to compromise your computer, or physically access your device, and all the while your signing device appears to be working correctly, up until all your bitcoin is stolen.

There have recently been two new papers expanding on this attack.
- Dark Skippy by Lloyd Fournier, Nick Farrow of FrostsnapTech and Robin Linus of ZeroSync and BitVM.
- Engineering a backdoored bitcoin wallet by Adam Scott and Sean Andersen at block

I think it's great that these researchers have raised attention to this previously known attack vector.

Now, there are two types of reaction in my x feed on this issue, panic and ambivalence.

⚠ Reaction 1 - Panicked
Nonce key exfil would enable theft at a distance, on all devices that update to malicious firmware & make 12 transactions. The attack doesn't require compromising the online device the signer talks to. The attack is not mitigated on most signing devices, and therefore large amounts of bitcoin are potentially vulnerable. The attack would be undetectable until the thieving begins

🤷♂ Reaction 2 - Ambivalent
This attack requires getting malicious firmware onto a device. Competent signing device firmware devs secure firmware signing key(s) appropriately. Provided the firmware signing keys are not compromised this attack is mitigated because most signing devices check new firmware signatures before upgrading. Malicious firmware would enable many other attacks like  generation of compromised wallets or exfiltration of keys in other ways (via screen, microSD or USB).

I think both Panic and Ambivalence are extreme.

❌ Panicked - Most hardware wallets verify firmware signatures so this attack requires either malicious firmware or a compromised firmware signing key / build pipeline and for many transactions to be signed with that firmware. Anti-klepto requires the online wallet to participate and adoption is limited. Creating panic leads uninformed users to rush to move their bitcoin to a new setup and this is when mistakes happen.

❌ Ambivalent - This attack is particularly nefarious because it can be done at a distance without needing to compromise any other user devices which makes it very scalable. If any firmware release is compromised all devices that run that version will be compromised. How secure is your signing key? How secure is your build pipeline? If anti-klepto was widely supported you would probably use it, so let's get it widely supported.

💡 Constructive - Focus effort into adding anti-klepto to a new version of PSBT instead of taking shots at each other or dismissing concerns.

- IP address: Which identifies your device on the internet (as of 2022, Google stopped storing users' IP addresses, but they still collect this information).

- User agent: Information about your browser and operating system.

- Referer: The URL of the webpage you are visiting.

...and is therefore "out-of-the-box" in violation of GDPR law?

If you are a website visitor:

You can block 3rd party fonts (web fonts) with uBlock Origin.

1. Open uBlock Origin's dashboard.

2. Go to the "My filters" tab.

3. Add the following line to block Google Fonts:

*$font,third-party

4. Click "Apply changes" to save the filter rule.
There is an even stricter option that blocks ALL remote fonts (not just Google Fonts) that you can activate by selecting "Block remote fonts" in the extension's settings.

*Sites that do not display properly can be excluded from the block.

If you are a website owner:

You can protect your visitors' privacy by hosting your own fonts locally (on the same server as your web pages), using basic OS fonts, or checking out Bunny.

If you haven't heard of Bunny CDN, they offer the only fully GDPR-compliant fonts powered by a CDN as a drop-in replacement for Google fonts.

According to Bunny:

"Bunny Fonts is an open-source, privacy-first web font platform designed to put privacy back into the internet.

With a zero-tracking and no-logging policy, Bunny Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant and puts your users' personal data into their own hands."

https://bunny.net/fonts/

As a side note: Bunny CDN also has one of the most transparent, easy-to-read and understand privacy and data policy pages I have ever seen.

Well done Bunny, well done.

I can't argue with your stance. I will continue to use bitrefill and coingate as it allows me to live off Bitcoin as much as possible and not resort to fiat.

You can always orange pill the merchants you shop with regularly so you can pay with Bitcoin directly.

Remember that the designers of the Ford Model T got to work in a horse and cart. We are in a similar transitionary period.


Just because they offer shitcoin payment options, doesn't mean you have to use them. Ignore that side of their offering and use it. You make it Bitcoin only for yourself.


Coffee is fine, milk has sugars so depends on the amount you're talking about and how much it takes to knock you out of ketosis. Probably better to keep consumption withing your eating window.

My energy levels are super stable. No peaks and troughs.

The key is to listen to your body. Eat when you actually feel hungry and don't be a slave to the clock. Sometimes you'll not feel hungry at 12 so delay a little that day and get extra benefits of a slightly deeper fast. Some days you'll feel hungry at 10 so just eat and don't feel bad about it. Instead examine what you ate the day before that meant you didn't consume enough calories to get you through to 12 and adapt.


Yes, 16 hours window is the minimum to feel any benefits. Benefits start at 14 hours of fasting but if you break you fast then you hone have the chance for any benefits to kick in. I love training early fasted.

Every time you think that these huge centralized platforms have too much power, remember that almost none of them provie direct services anymore.
Facebook doesn't create its posts
Uber doesn't drive its customers around
Airbnb doesn't wash the linens in your rental
Youtube doesn't film their video library

All of these platforms only have the power of the content and engagement that WE give them. Without us, they are worthless.

Never forget that the simple act of leaving and taking our creations, media, engagement, and our value somewhere else, will turn them into nothing overnight.

This is why decentralization is the only path forward. There is no alternative.

Stop taking advantage of the Cantillion Effect!


You are indeed accelerating the now inevitable ser.


I do agree that in its current state full custodial lightning has a far too high technical barrier to entry.

Your plan works but only for receiving. What if you are a spender of SATs too?


And so the slow and inevitable demise of a society begins. Sad times.


Shiney purple helmet incoming


It does so freak folks out when I say I have no idea what you are talking about when they mention some 'current event'.


Yes.

Once you fully comprehend that, you may, or equally may not, start looking for ways to rescind that consent. Your consent is assumed by default by way of the fraudulent contract created at your birth, and continues to be assumed as you are not stated that you do not consent.


Unpopular opinion: Fathers day is just a Hallmark holiday. Just like mothers day and Valentine's day. If you love someone, you should show them every single day, not just on these 'special' occasions.

Not intentional at all


FINANCIAL GRAVITY:

If we divide the performance of the S&P 500 by the Fed’s Balance Sheet since the GFC, the LINE IS FLAT.

This means that there has been basically NO REAL growth in stock prices since 2008- with the only rise in prices due to money printing.

The correlation coefficient between central bank quantitative easing and the price of stock indexes is nearly 1.

The money printed by the Fed, because of the structure of the Open Market Operations, is plugged directly into the Treasury markets, and from there, flows into equities and derivatives.

Privacy is not a crime. Don't let them gaslight you into thinking you did something wrong by mixing your UTXOs. The governments around the world are trying to ban E2EE and blames that too on criminal use. The right to privacy is not something that is given to us, it's something we have to fight for and protect.

Spend, then replace.


Depends how important it is for you personally to make the transaction right now. Its around $20 for a simple transaction and for full and final settlement of the transfer of funds, still mega cheap in my mind. You can always wait for a more favourable fee situation. Or just fire off your transaction now at your preferred fee rate and wait. Worst case is your funds go nowhere.


Good dawning buddy.


Simply pay the fee.

For me personally I'm afraid not, for many out there yes.

Legislation, rules, guidelines and statues are all documents of a corporation that gain the force of law with the consent of the governed. I never asked to be governed and I do not consent.

The law I obey is natural law being cause no harm, loss or injury to another and don't breach the peace.

# Halving Fee Chaos

The Bitcoin halving is an anticipated event, one of those Bitcoin holidays that happen every once in a while. Along with Soft Fork Activation and various financial instrument introduction days, it's one of those not-quite-predictable days that occur every few years which give Bitcoiners reason to pay attention and mainstream media to speculate.

This year's halving was much anticipated, as halvings usually are, but we had a bit of an incident that requires some further explanation. The block subsidy decreased from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC on block 840,000 as expected, but what wasn't expected was the 37.626 BTC in fees that came along with it. To give some context, that's easily the highest ratio of fees to block subsidy that Bitcoin has *ever* had. [One transaction](https://mempool.space/tx/152b928e97bb9e874da1bd4abdf766ae0cdc7a2f260dad5542967cb414c58489) paid nearly 8 BTC in fees by itself.

## More Fees

It wasn't just block 840,000 that had high fees, over the next 5 blocks, we had fees of 4.486, 6.99, 16.068, 24.008 and 29.821 BTC respectively. The fees are the highest it's ever been. This situation in Bitcoin is unprecedented.

Up to this point in Bitcoin's history a block whose fees were higher than block subsidy were pretty rare. There were a few in the 50 and 25 BTC eras, but these were mistakes by the user (usually forgetting to put in a change address) and almost all of the fee came from a single error transaction. In the 12.5 BTC subsidy era, there were a few transactions toward the end of 2017 when the cumulative fees exceeded the 12.5 subsidy. In the just-ended 6.25 BTC subsidy era, there were many blocks during the ordinals craze which exceeded the 6.25 BTC subsidy.

Still, these were relatively rare, and most blocks even in the most recently completed era mostly didn't exceeded 1.5 BTC. Yet in this new era of 3.125 BTC subsidy, every single block as of this writing (block 840018) has had fees exceed the subsidy, some by many multiples. So what happened? Why was the halving block getting so much in fees?

## Runes

The reason has to do with a new protocol called Runes. It's yet another colored coins protocol on top of Bitcoin that Casey Rodarmor designed back in [September of 2023](https://rodarmor.com/blog/runes/). The main idea is to allow coin issuance on Bitcoin that uses the UTXO set natively.

Now to back up a bit, colored coins have been around for a long time. The main idea is that you can "color" certain Bitcoin transaction outputs as meaning something in addition to the Bitcoin amount in the output. It could be another "asset" and issued as a token. The first implementation of such a protocol happened 11 *years* ago in 2013 and there have been many attempts since, including MasterCoin (renamed Omni), CounterParty, and more recently, RGB, Taro Assets and BRC-20.

As Rodarmor states in his blog, his motivation for making another protocol is to bring some of the asset issuing from other chains to Bitcoin. To make the launch of this protocol more interesting, Rodarmor decided to start the issuance on block 840,000, leading to the chaos we saw.

## Simplification vs Game Theory

Casey Rodarmor is also the creator of ordinals, and he took one of the concepts, which was to name assets using the capital latin alphabet on Runes. This is a normal fine choice, but what happens when there's a conflict? If two assets have the same name, how do we distinguish between them?

To simplify things, the protocol just looks up what assets exist already and if the name conflicts with something that exists, then the new asset isn't issued. This indeed simplifies the client and gives a global unique name to each asset. Unfortunately, it also makes for some terrible incentives.

## Sniping Asset Issuance

The first incentive problem is that if the transaction issuing the asset is sent out to the Bitcoin mempool, then as that transaction is gossiped to nodes around the network, other observers can snipe the name by getting the transaction in earlier.

Now "earlier" in Bitcoin is a strict concept. Blocks are ordered and transactions within a block are ordered. Whichever comes first gets the symbol and the asset issuance. But if you want to squat on a good symbol name, you can just look for mempool transactions that are attempting to create a new asset and create your own with a bigger fee. That's the essence of sniping.

What's really terrible about a situation like this is that *both* transactions will likely go into the block, but only the first will successfully issue the asset. The second will not issue the asset but *still pay the fee*.

Miners generally order transactions by fee rate, so a higher fee likely means that they'll get to issue the asset. I say likely, because there's a second incentive problem here I'll discuss later. But game-theoretically, both participants are incentivized to increase fees continually to one-up each other. The dynamic is similar to the [One Dollar Auction](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_auction), where participants end up making rational choices, but end up with an irrational result (like paying $1.50 for $1). Every loser pays lots in fees for nothing.

## Second order Game Theory

Now given this first-order incentive playing out, it's not a surprise that a lot of issuers purposefully put in a very high fee initially to discourage anyone from trying to snipe the symbol. After all, if your sniping attempt fails, then you lose out on the fees you tried to snipe with. There's also a significant uptick in the usage of RBF for this reason, so that you have the option to one-up the sniper and the sniper to do the same to the issuer.

Note that RBF isn't useful here to *get out* of paying the fee, as a replacement transaction has to pay more than the previous transaction in fees. Either way, the miner ends up with the fees.

Now back to the miner's role. The miner can, if it so desires, give preference to the *lower* fee transaction by including it earlier in the block. Indeed, the incentive is to give miners off-band fees if possible to order transactions in such a way as to win by not revealing how much you've paid. Miners in this protocol have a lot of leverage.

## Conclusion

Runes have resulted in some really high fees, though it's hard to know if the design was intentional or unintentional. What we do know is that Runes have been hyped up for the last few months and have been anticipated for a while, and certainly being one of the first assets issued under the protocol has some marketing value for the eventual goal of getting them listed on an exchange.

Sadly, in addition to the normal scamming of altcoins being completely centralized, there is a deeper cost in terms of block space congestion, where fees of 1000 sats/vbyte are currently not enough to get into certain blocks. The Runes asset issuance has overridden almost every other use case at the moment.

That said, the current rate of Runes issuance is completely unsustainable. Just in the first 18 blocks, there's been over $20M in fees spent, most of that in Runes issuance. At this rate, Runes issuers would be spending $150M a day or $1B a week. I honestly can't see them doing this for much longer than a month or two. In the meantime, it must be great to be a miner finding these blocks.


Happy halving!

Its hard to move on but move on we must.


Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me. https://image.nostr.build/b5731965f417b631e9ea74c27ce4d5f9bb91f9e2a96fefb1547146266ab89fb5.jpg

The more you reinforce a system based on theft, the more it steals from you, divides you, and then controls you.

From that system, war is inevitable because it is a requirement that you believe it is someone else’s fault to retain its power over you.

With the chaos from the existing system bound to expand over the next number of years, it will be easy to get pulled back in.

The more you reinforce a system based on truth, the faster the world changes to hope and abundance. We are early, but our actions matter more than we realize. Every node (we) matters.

Keep the higher ground, and help others see it.

Good dawning to you ser


# Privacy is a Social Good

When we think about privacy, it's usually in the context of an individual being able to hide something, usually from the government, but also from lots of other entities. It's a security issue in the greater discourse because there are bad people that can and will use information about you to reveal embarrassing information, blackmail, or even steal from you.

This is not just true of criminals, but also of companies and even governments. They can and do use information about you to propagandize you or demand taxes from you. These are, of course, understandable concerns and good reasons to want privacy.

## Status Games

But there's another aspect of privacy which is just as important, perhaps more important than these and it's the social dynamic at play.

Privacy, you see, is a necessary buffer between people to keep order. This is because people are, in the end social creatures and in every social group, there is a constant jockeying about for position, what I would call status games being played.

The problem with status games is that they are by nature zero-sum. Whoever is at the top is usually both admired and envied, while whoever is at the bottom is generally pitied. This is especially true when the participants can change their position, whether through achievement, violence or politics.

## Envy and Resentment

Too much clarity on the status of individuals in the group causes strife in the form of envy. This is not just for people at the bottom, whose envy of everyone above them is understandable, but also for those near the top, who likewise will envy people above them. A big enough group of disaffected people in a status game will cause some form of revolution. In other words, strictly ordered status games are not stable.

Thus, too much information sharing is bound to cause bitterness and resentment which in turn causes unstable organizations because humans are very status-aware. Marxism tries to solve this by making everyone equal, but of course, this doesn't work because the entity which controls this equality ends up being higher status than everyone else. You cannot have full transparency and social order. There will be too many dissatisfied people.

This is where privacy is important because it gives groups ambiguity about where each individuals stand. For example, most social groups in the US have as a default, social standing that corresponds with their level of wealth. The richer you are, the higher on the status ladder you are and the poorer, the lower. A very strict pecking order where everyone knew exactly how many assets everyone had would breed a significant amount of envy and resentment. Any group where this level of transparency was required would be unpleasant to be in strictly for that reason. We need a level of ambiguity to socially interact in a reasonable way.

## Decentralized Status Games

That's not to say that everything is completely obscured. Most people that have money signal in various ways, with their clothing, car, topics of conversation and so on. They signal with various levels of loudness and reveal status information to the people that they're targeted at. One of the features of "old money" people is that they're very good at identifying other "old money" people while simultaneously hiding their wealth from people that are not as rich as they are. In a sense, this is a survival mechanism because envy, bitterness and resentment are not pleasant to deal with and oftentimes dangerous.

Privacy is the ability to disclose information at our discretion, not someone else's and that's exactly what happens in groups to keep the peace. Privacy has deep social value because it gives individuals the discretion to reveal where they are relatively in status. That protects not just them from attack, but also protects the group from upheaval. The less envy, bitterness and resentment there is, the more cohesive the group can be.

## Conclusion

Privacy is a necessary part of civilization because cooperation is hard and nothing destroys cooperation like bitterness and envy. And those two in turn are caused by too much clarity on status. Privacy is what adds ambiguity and empowers individuals to calibrate group dynamics.

Privacy: it's not just for cypherpunks anymore.

Were you expecting anything else?


The Millenial Dream

Go to school, study hard, get good grades so you’ll be accepted into University, go into debt for a degree or else you’ll be flipping burgers.

Get your degree and enter the workforce 50k in debt. Entry level jobs are impossible to find between outsourcing and the lack of practical skills Grads bring to the table.

Get lucky and find one, grind 12 hour days, pay half your income to the Government for Services you don’t use, pay increasing rents as the real estate bubble inflates, get promoted and job hop to bump your income to keep pace.

Save for a house deposit, 20% of the median house which is now 10x median income so it takes a decade, get there and it’s not enough for even a dogbox apartment let alone a house, now banks won’t lend to you with rates over 5%

Can’t afford kids. The food is killing you. Dating is ruined between instathots and red pill chuds. Get lectured daily by Boomers who don’t understand the world. Watch rampant corruption and cronyism destroy your politics, immigration destroy your community, and fiat destroy your purchasing power.

Fund wars you oppose. Bail out banks you hate. Pay welfare to ideologues who demand more and more nanny statism and taxation. Subsidise renewable energy which increase your power bills. Wait in long lines at the hospital for your subpar care.

Do all that in the hopes you’ll eventually be fortunate enough to be exit liquidity for some Boomer who sold you this dream..

Or The New Millennial Dream

Move as much of your wealth into #Bitcoin as possible. Watch the crumbling from the sidelines whilst starving the entire system and protecting your purchasing power.

Wait out the Boomers til your digital real estate on the ledger is the new asset in demand, then instead of selling it to them, take the reins over the system as the new financial elites and dismantle this entire shitshow. Eliminate the parasite class. Detach the welfare state. Reduce government to a competitive service provider which cant extract wealth at will.

Set entrepreneurs free. Let markets work. No more free lunches. No more cantillionaireing. No more nonsense laws.


The crowd is pretty much always wrong.


Damn that's deep


Nothing. Nothing at all. If you still use Bitcoin as a way to increase your fiat stack. If you truely use Bitcoin as money, as it was always intended to be used, then my comment of spend and replace will make more sense.

I will disagree with your last point though. You don't HAVE to trade Bitcoin for fiat at any point ever. You can if you choose to. I feel the distinction between the two is important.


I'm not saying anything about anyone here, merely saying that spending SATs and replacing your stack is how we individually can help Bitcoin win. If we don't spend at the businesses who accept Bitcoin they will stop accepting it and we'll be left with nowhere to use our money.


Spend and replace


Thanks for the zap man. 😎


You evil evil bastard! Get your own bloody volcano, this ones mine!


It is a volcano. San Vicente.

I went to #ElSalvador and all I got was this view.

Similar picture in the UK


This is why ATHs are not all they seem to be. Yet folks are still obsessed with NgU.


GM

Assange is still in a prison for telling the truth. Ross still in prison for making a website.


While all you lot were watching the fake fiat number go up bollocks, you failed to spot that El Salvador has moved to remove 78 genders from their education system, leaving, if my math serves me correctly, two.


Value should not be measured in a shitcoin.


Nowhere near, hence its taking me years. 😂


Been building up to it for years. Still not yet though.


But had it have been a flop, it would have saved us from 78,491 Marvel movies. A small price to pay.

I use this feature. Don't comprehend why one would mix to another postmix wallet?


Nice! I'll take 420 sharez pleeze.

Mainstream media really does suck ass. Advert on Sky News.

"But will these budget giveaways be enough for you to give them your vote" accompanied with images of Normie's counting tenners and twenties in random locations.

Openly saying the electorate are being bribed. They're not even trying to hide it any more.


The tool is pretty much irrelevant. If you have an eye for a shot, you can capture it with pretty much any hardware. Lovely photo dude.

#FreeAssange


U.S. and C.I.A. are acting totally retarded

They could have left Assange alone years ago and the public would have forgotten the shit they've done.

Instead of that they chose unending mindless revenge, and now people all-over the world learn or are reminded daily, again and again, about how they're responsible for war crimes, how they struggled for years to assassinate Assange and hide the truth.

New content about that is generated daily and will stay online for the years, decades to come.

They're destroying exactly the selling points of the U.S. brand in the world: freedom, democracy and truth. Idiotic. Morons.

I was rewatching the GoT Battle of the Bastards episode at the end of S6.

At the start of the episode, Daenarys and Tyrion are talking in the pyramid while Meeren is under siege by "the Masters."

Tyrion says, "The Masters cannot let Meeren succeed. Because if Meeren succeeds, a city without slavery, a city without Masters... it proves that no one needs a Master."

If we replace the Masters with the Central Banks, and Meeren with #Bitcoin... Now we understand why the Central Banks and their lackeys will fight us so hard. Bitcoin makes them absolete.

If Bitcoin succeeds, it proves no one needs a banker.

I feel your pain dude. My 95 year old grandmother has suffered the same fate and we couldn't deal with her outbursts anymore as a family. Even though we know they're not really coming from her heart, half of us think that maybe these outbursts have been stuck inside her for a long time and now its just the filter that has been removed.

I went on an incredible volcano tour today in #Berlín #Usúlutan with my extremely knowledagble friend Don Julio who is one of the original #Bitcoin adopters in Berlín. He is an absolute font of knowledge for the local plant life and what each plant can be used for medicinally.

For the next 48 hours I've changed my zap address to Don Julio's wallet so I'd appreciate it if you guys would show him some love and zap away.

Agreed without a certain amount of technical knowledge and comprehension of the underlying network, a light node is difficult. But then again its unfeasible and unnecessary for everyone to have their own node.


Case in point, zaps go straight to my node and shit breaks.


Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out what's going on with that.

Lightning does have its technical downsides, from an operator point of view. Its just one step along the way to a global solution. It may or may not end up being the last step that solves the problem. Got to remember that lightning is only around 5 years old, still a baby and lots of developments still to be made that haven't even been thought of yet.


Liquidity will be the problem if a billion users appeared today. But then there are those who would add liquidity into the network to facilitate the volume of payments. Throughput wise the network can handle that number of users.


Bro its your body telling you it needs a break. You work so hard that you may have missed the smaller signals it was giving you. Now its forcing you to stop to give it space to detox and heal.

You're not the only one James 😁 I'm also looking forward to my return!


People work 8-10 hours a day for 50 years

They take 2 weeks of vacation per year

They sacrifice time with family and friends

They give up on their hobbies

All to pursue a currency that can be printed out of thin air


Works just like a bain Marie. Results are incredible after at least an hour by the miner and a quick flash in the pan.


I NEED YOUR HELP!

In December we hosted the first SAT Market in my city of Calgary. It was an awesome success with 30+ local vendors all accepting Bitcoin.

Well... we're doing it again on March 23rd! Even if you can't attend, amplification of sharing the links to event pages helps a LOT!
