even cooler is you can zap testnet sats, or to yourself but referencing someone elses pubkey.
zaps are not proof that a payment was made to the pubkey referenced.
I agree with much of this.
While not a solution, I believe a way forward is going to entail increasing the number of eyes on the codebase, PRs and proposals. Maybe Im mistaken, but I feel like there's a brain drain effect happening, and if we as a community dont address that, not only will we ossify by default, but we'll be at risk of not being able to adequately address risks in a timely manner.
Im still in favor of OP_CTV. Its unfortunate that a rift was created over premature discussion of activation methods prior to achieving community buyin. In the intervening years, more seem to be in favor, but its not clear that consensus is there yet.
It doesnt help that when a core dev gets upset over how discussions go on the devlist or github issues that some take to twitter to incite the mob.
The most important point of the post though is that about inaction. Doing nothing is not ideal. We must act.
Achievement Unlocked.

Biggest winner of the Ukraine/Russia conlict is easily the United States...
- Blackrock and Agriculture
- Weapons Manufacturers
- Bio Labs
- LNG Exports to Europe helps frackers
I think Russia gets third place, leaving China as the second place winner for largely appearing to be (though not really being) somewhat neutral. Helps their long game in the region as well as global south.

There's a reason why mobile phones...
- have gps support
- have non removable batteries
- can connect to towers without a sim card
- often have forms of transmission when in airplane mode.
Use godark other bags for phones when not in use. Consider a 1 way pager for receipt of critical messages
The continuation of the reading of Snow Crash will be on Corny Chat this evening at 6PM Pacific, 9PM Eastern Standard Time in the US. https://i.nostr.build/9YlXWSFylXGO1zD2.jpg
The CAGR on Bitcoin far exceeds interest rate on mortgages. Even a house with no mortgage continues to have a carrying cost. Its best to maximize BTC acquisition, and avoid paying debts faster as long as their interest rate is less than the CAGR'
Ya'll don't know what good your missing with this story

FWIW, I price in BTC, but based on fiat, adjusted each quarter.
I knew 21000 sats for Alby would ruffle feathers when it hit, but there are self custodial setups that can be done to avoid that.
100k is a very small UTXO. While they exist, I don't recommend of that size because higher fees in future could use substantial percentage of value.
One alternative that some people do is use Liquid as a go between. This allows you to swap funds out of lightning via something like boltz.exchange, to an address you control, and then later consolidate those liquid transactions to a larger layer 1 bitcoin UTXO.
You really need to look trough your total costs though, whether paying swap fees, or considering current mempool fees, or future fees. I make an assumption that any UTXO may cost upwards of 50000 sats to spend in a high fee environment, and dont want to be trapped in an unspendable position.
Upcoming events on Corny Chat starting with Global Sports Central in about an hour from now! Join in! After that, some Bible Study time before we pick up with group reading in Companion's Corner, where everyone is friends.

i went to a walmart to see about purchasing a replacement battery for my car. they had no options for what i needed and all batteries behind locked bars. sign of the times, crime must be on the rise.
while exiting, i politely told an elderly couple that they didnt have to wait in line and show their receipt to exit.
You know what else has Group Video chat...

Forgot to mention... last night in my dream I drove a car in my dream for the first time ever. It was not as natural as flying, running, or riding a bike in the dream state, and caused me to realize i was in a dream. Anyone ever experience driving in their dreams?
GN all.
Had a blast in Corny Chat today watching everyone play with the custom emoji room reactions. Also did some yoga with the crew on Hive Talk
Offline I got further in Hogwarts! I am now level 30 and about 50% of the way done.
