Increasingly frustrated by my experience with Lightning.

Each time I decide to try out a wallet, it goes well for a few months and then comes the "sorry to inform you that" announcement.

All sorts of reasons why. Can't blame samourai for example, but the others were mainly privacy compromises or panic pivots to comply with regs.

I have some sympathy but it's annoying, and despite being Bitcoin Class of 2017, I've yet to settle into normality with Lightning.

Good analogy

I was telling my family this morning that #Bitcoin is the ruler that shows up the crookedness of the current system.

If you’re a Bitcoiner and you’re NOT using nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 , what the fuck are you doing?

Seriously, explain yourself. You’re using Spotify? GTFO of here with your walled garden bullshit.

Check out my conversation with nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 then get with the program.

So liking and boosting my own notes and laughing out loud at my own jokes is a good thing, right? 😇

Forced Election?!

In the UK, it is very difficult to force a general election outside of the normal mechanisms without the agreement of the governing party or significant parliamentary support. Here are the main ways an early election could theoretically be forced:

1. Parliamentary Vote: Under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, the Prime Minister can request a general election with the monarch's approval. This is the most straightforward method, but it relies entirely on the Prime Minister's willingness.

2. No-Confidence Motion: Parliament can pass a vote of no confidence in the government. If the government cannot regain confidence within 14 days, a general election must be called. However, this would require members of the ruling party to rebel or opposition parties to unite—a challenging scenario given Labour's current majority.

3. Judicial or Constitutional Challenge: While rare, extraordinary legal challenges or constitutional crises could hypothetically prompt a shift. However, the UK's uncodified constitution and parliamentary sovereignty make this pathway unlikely to succeed unless legal wrongdoing is established.

4. Public Pressure: Massive public protests or growing dissent within the Labour Party could pressure leadership, but public sentiment alone does not legally compel an election.

Ultimately, while the petition demonstrates significant discontent, forcing an election against the Prime Minister’s will or Labour’s majority in Parliament would be exceptionally difficult under the current framework.

Odoo is open source ERP for small business.

Have you tried it?

I like the sound of all-in-one as it's a struggle joining things up, and I don't want to rely on Google or Microsoft.

Why can't I open any of the long reads in Primal 2? Went to 'Bitcoin Reads', scrolled through what's on offer, tapping them all one by one, unresponsive.

Is this a premium privilege? Or do I still need another app to read longform? I thought reading *in app* was a killer feature.

I genuinely worry that nation states will fall for this too. Signalling the coming rektness of nations.

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg I would think you would be right to criticize custody if you were not defending a custody model like cashu.

Nor can we value all custodial models in the same way. It is not the same the custody of a cashu mint executed by a stranger, than the custody of Liquid executed by more than 80 members around the world in different jurisdictions with the dynamic federations (11 out of 15) and that nobody can know the active officers at any given time.

Unfortunately or fortunately things are not black and white, they have many nuances, and nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 together with nostr:npub1nyyhnqahf3cgqzcc927x7eqyd2msgplfe27ddn6hpgu2m200wh2s0s7gan solve many Lightning problems for small operators and users.

Bitcoin frame shattering the emasculating fiat frame.

Am I doing it right?
