WTF is #[0] STILL down?!
Discussion
Not for me.
Wait. I lied. She gone.
Took me about 21 seconds to send you 21 sats but for others it won’t even send at all.
Is for me too
Down for me
Down for me
We really need to stop pushing WoS.
When it feels like working, it’s fast as fuck. And then there are unexplained outages like this. I’ve never actually seen it down for this much time. It crashed during yesterday’s #zapathon and I don’t know if it ever recovered. I just keep it around as a backup but with very little in it. The rest of my Lightning sats are on this bad boy.

That's a shame
I wish more people would run a ⚡️ node.
I’ve thought about doing that. However, the BRC-20 fiasco lowered my confidence in Bitcoin’s future. The fees are lower than they were at their peak, though, so I’m going to wait a while and see.
That lowered your confidence? Literally what else is there that would give you more confidence than bitcoin? Ordinal and BRC-20 degens will have their stupid cycle, most of them will get rekt, and a new wave will reborn as bitcoin maximalists. It happens every time.
Literally every time.
The blockchain was hijacked for uses other than its intended purpose (sending payments), and the Bitcoin community either couldn’t or wouldn’t stop it. I think it’s reasonable to wonder if we can count on Bitcoin in the future.
Bitcoin has been used for other purposes for a long time. Counterparty was created to exchange tokens and early NFTs. Technically any of this could have been done at any time. I don’t like what they’re doing either, but maybe that’s the price to pay to have an open, uncensorable decentralized network.
Suggestion for Bitcoin improvement: Move all scripting out of the L1 chain to an L2 chain. Alternatively, reimplement the L1 chain in terms of an L0 chain with no scripting. A transaction would just be a list of inputs and a list of outputs. That way, people who want to save their JPEGs and Pepe tokens to a blockchain like it’s Google Drive can do that, but their files won’t take space from those of us who just want to send money to someone.
Worked for me
Works now ⚡️
Shut the fuck up
