Anyway the guide is still perfect 👌

Also on "Another benefit of paying for a channel is zero fee routing. That means when routing payments, the first hop through OLYMPUS by ZEUS incurs no routing fees. Note, that hops beyond OLYMPUS by ZEUS will still charge you."

I don't think it's true as I just requested a channel from Olympus as I was failing to open from my on-chain balance, and try do pay right afterward and I was charged

VPN off didn't work...Will request a channel from the LSP cause I really want to continue testing Zeus even if Blixt is back as my preferred self custodial LN wallet at the moment (works perfectly for me, with LND always on, no graph synch at startup, it's amazing and doesn't drain the battery to much)

Read it again.

Concerning the pleb node you are right it's a tor only node.

But what's strange is that I can't open to Olympus node using the "Open Channel to Olympus" button either. The only hint I have from your article concerning this issue could be my VPN (Mullvad), I will try without it.

Am I the only one having issues when using my embedded node with "Method B" (on-chain Balance) ?

I'm on Android ZEUS v0.8.1 and I systematically get error messages when trying to open channel from my on-chain balance for some reason....

I use it to try and to support the initiative but for very small amounts, Robosats beeing my main mean of acquiring BTC

Ok. In fact I use it and yes I'm very satisfied of it. I just said no in case you were some kind of hacker that wanted to take his chance with me lol😂

But to be honest I don't know Bitwarden so I can't compare

Don't use it why ?

Honestly, refusing to comply is a duty that falls upon all of us as individuals or businesses. Fuck the EU, fuck the central planners of all kind. Only a true free market should be "allowed" to put enough pressure on Apple to make them change their positions on any topic/issue.

Sincerely, from a very satisfied paid user of Proton.

You mean "in the real world government steal from people to build useless infrastructure" or "in the real world privately own corpo raises funds to fund infrastructures at their own risk" IMO

It's subsidized IMO, it's used as a way to attracts new users. I believe Bitkit wallet from Synonym is a legit self custodial LN Wallet, and still it charges nothing to open a channel to you right now (even if it will surely change in the future obviously).

There is a lack of ecucation concerning this issue. Using new adresses is good obviously, but only for amounts big enough. Which is difficult to define btw... I'd say the minimum is 1M, the better 5M sats for one UTXO.

Almost 200 hundred years ago, the great Frederic Bastiat imagined a letter that a good Minister of Agriculture should write to all farmers to improve their condition. This could not be more topical than nowadays.

Here is the translation of this fictional text:

"" The Minister of Agriculture to Farmers

CITIZENS,

A fortunate incident has prompted a thought that never occurred to my predecessors: that, like me, you belong to the human species. You possess intelligence to use, and, furthermore, the genuine source of all progress, the desire to improve your condition.

Considering this, I wonder how I can be of service to you. Shall I teach you agriculture? It is likely that you know it better than I do. Shall I inspire in you the desire to replace bad practices with good ones? But this desire exists in you at least as much as in me. Your interest gives birth to it, and I do not see how my circulars could speak louder to your ears than your own interest.

The prices of things are known to you. Therefore, you have a guide that indicates what is better to produce or not produce. My predecessor wanted to provide you with manufacturing jobs to occupy your days of unemployment. You could, he said, engage in this work to your advantage and that of the consumer. But of two things, either it is true, and then what is the need for a ministry to point out a lucrative job within your reach? You will discover it yourselves if you are not of an inferior race afflicted with idiocy—an assumption on which my ministry is based, and one I do not accept. Or it is not true; in that case, how harmful would it be for the minister to impose sterile work on all the farmers of France through administrative measures!

So far, my collaborators and I have exerted much effort with no results, except to make you pay taxes, for note that with each of our movements corresponds a tax. Even this circular is not free. It will be the last. Henceforth, to prosper in agriculture, rely on your efforts, not on those of my bureaucrats; turn your eyes to your fields, not to a building on Rue de Grenelle.""

How many SATs did you sent through value for value apps like Fountain to support content creators ?

I'll start

Seems cool but I can't understand what it does 😅

Even if it's not enough to pay for all the devs work given the actual reach of nostr, this kind of shit is still awesome.

Their is no way productivity is not increased exponentially in a near future with value flowing at this speed across human of different skills all over the planet.

Yep almost.

Even if value is subjective, you can indeed consider IMHO that when money is taken by force from the productive people in order to pay for useless shit to the unproductive or less productive people, it's not real GDP

Yep exactl.

Bastiat's analogy is even more accurate as in this case we can consider that Keynes and Krugman actually enjoy watching each other eating shit, so they respectively pay for that enjoyment, which could be counted as real GDP

The real problem comes when one of the parties involved in a transaction is forced to pay to watch the other eat shit, which is the case in the broken window fallacy...

Maybe Saylor and others are already doing it but not publicly...

Krugman and Keynes, are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

Krugman says to Keynes, "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." Keynes takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. Keynes turns to Krugman and says, "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." Krugman takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, Krugman looks at Keynes and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true," responded Keynes. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Ok never heard of them

Who has ever said that nostr is private ?

I’ve seen about the uncensurable narrative but never about the private one. For what I know, nostr has always been considered as bad for privacy, especially concerning DM’s which leak who you are talking to etc…

Except I don’t think monogamy is a recent thing.

Strong and united family has always been a core condition to survival for mankind, so men have also been incentivized to have a single woman to preserve the family, it’s not a new thing.

Or at least it’s not a no brainer thing that men are deeply programmed to have multiple sex partners, because their are incentives in both ways. And I’m not even sure that porn suppress the need to see many women for men, on the contrary…
