in honor of St. Patrick's Day and the celebration of Irish culture, i will share what may be the best final paragraph ever written.

it is from the James Joyce short story called "The Dead" from his book Dubliners (1907), which is also the last story in the collection:

"A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."

When will you fund Bitcoin development?

A judge has just said what we've all known for many years.

He's not told us anything new.

We are all Satoshi.

Except Craig Wright. He's a dickhead.

For most people single sig & pass phrase is way better.

Everyone doubted us.

Everyone wanted us to lose.

Fuck em.

partycrasher? me? FY

Why do you praise fountain so highly? although these folks promised apk download years ago, still not open source.

don't trust, verify

they are not worthy my trust. fck theses play stores.

Just thoughts out loud.

If you tell me to recommend a desktop wallet for bitcoin, it's clear to me:

Sparrow

If you tell me to recommend a bitcoin wallet for mobile, I have it clear:

Green Wallet

If you tell me to recommend a custodial lightning wallet, it's clear to me:

Blink (like WOS but open source).

If you tell me to recommend a self-custodial Lightning wallet:

Sorry, I'm not clear, I'm not convinced by any of them.

Phoenix is the one that works best, no doubt, but I am totally against applying a 0.4% fee to send through Lightning.

Zeus and Blixt, I like them, but let's be honest, comparing them with phoenix they fail a lot, although zeus has improved a lot using their LSP, even so, it's not even close to the experience I want to recommend a wallet to a friend.

The green lightning wallet looks promising, but it is the one that fails the most.

As for mutiny I don't share their philosophy of being a pwa.

Breez is perhaps the most balanced app but I don't like that the app has functions beyond a lightning wallet.
