I guess this why stacker news was down yesterday and I was not able to zap nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk

Oh shit 🤣🤣

Actual loss is 0.21 BTC tho if I'm reading it right

One user got 0.15 something. On a post about drivechains.

I need to make an app that loses Bitcoin, leaving IRS agents in disbelief!

Also a friendly reminder to only keep small amount of satoshis you dont have a problem losing on wallets like stackernews, wallet of satoshi, getalby, centralized exchanges,etc

Not your keys not your coins. We need a non custodial lightning wallets that provide lightning address. Its something we need especially with on boarding people on to Nostr. I rather not have to recommend Wallet of Satoshi or others because they provide a lightning address easily. Luckily there is a bounty out for someone to get this done

My favorite non custodial lightning wallets are Phoenix and Zeus

Haha. I got into a bit of a fight with said stacker. The reward was so ironically on a post about drivechains. The author thinks I am trolling him when I say that we only need one global broadcast based state replication machine.

Paranoid bugger he is. Thought I was stalking him. I, like most other users, was getting 503 errors when the pwa service crashed. I saw the post, 16 hours later, from koob and as I was reading someone accusing darthcoin I noticed his post fessing up to being the main beneficiary of the error.

I couldn't help myself after the irony of it all, suggested God might be trying to make him mend his shitcoin ways, after such a garbage post about drivechains, regurgitating all the big blocker, antimaxi talking points. Offfisication, you know the shit.

I could use a 0.15btc windfall though. Starting to wish I could get off this cold, windy and rainy little Atlantic island. Missing my second home, the Balkans, a lot.
