Lnbits+nostdress let's you do it yourself 👍
Stupid people are free to do stupid things with their money. No one has a problem with that. Im trying to be helpful to point out that it is better to spend money on things one can actually 'own', that's pretty important imo.
Bitcoin is alien for people to understand already, there's a lot to take in, it does good to point out the stupidity of repeated failures to save further wasted effort.
I think it is great that there are people out there willing to do what they can to minimize utxo bloat, even at the cost of forgoing mining revenue. Sats are precious, it shows principles, hopefully such action fires off a light bulb in those who haven't yet established what they want to accomplish.
What is there to stand on when all they have is dust?
so if not to monetize, then they want to create a bunch of dust they can't own.... for?🤣
No hate here, the whole thing is hilarious. the utxo bloat not so much 😮💨 and since can't do much about it other than to make the suggestion to not do such things, can't ignore it entirely.
Ordinals aren't trading cards. Value is certainly subjective, speculate over lines and graphs on games and screens all they want. Ownership is what we're talking about. Ordinal theory simply put is an arbitrary ownership scheme, it has little to do with Bitcoin.
Have you considered that they're just retarded? Trying to monetize ownership of arbitrary data burning Bitcoin UTXOs, has happened plenty of times and doesn't go anywhere with or without taproot.
If people are interested in the fun of getting paid for arbitrary data, you're already on nostr 🙂⚡
The idea that dust can be owned and sent around is a scam, the numbering scheme used to track ownership is complete arbitrary nonsense; believing in it is to scam oneself 🙃
If the use case is just about storing cryptographic signatures of arbitrary data to lots of places.... 🤷
I suggest librera reader 🥳 it's on fdroid but also really easy to build
It's true, collecting books on the internet can be quite dangerous, I try to be careful. What one would do to avoid paying amazon 🤷
This time last year we were flipping out about parsing pasted bolt11 invoices in WebApps 🤭 what a year it has been
this year has been incredible for nostr, no signs of slowing down
I never understood how the shitcoiners were able drum up their "L2"s because the whole point of altcoins was to establish L2s as unnecessary. Their idea is that activity/use cases which couldn't "scale" on Bitcoin would seek out "other chains" with "scalability"; alternative Bitcoin uses expected to bleed out to the shittoken space
For the shitcoiners to come up with L2s is a self-admission that their base layer is pointless.
Whenever I point this out to shitcoiners IRL, it's always just speechless blank stares🫠
https://librera.mobi/ is also available on F-Droid 👍
Haven't created a torrent in ages, trying out dtan. Here's just a small slice of the books I've finished reading because of Bitcoin. Enjoy!
I usually go with epubs and listen to them through Librera (FOSS) using text to speech -- I find that I can crunch through books quickly doing that.
Hoping people upload the rest of my reading wishlist to libgen, not that it matters because my backlog is massive 🥲
we keep shipping at Strike
yesterday we turned on fiat card on-ramps for Mexico, Brazil, India, Vietnam, and Guatemala
today we released sending to Lightning Addresses. you can send fiat or bitcoin to a Lightning Address with Strike. here is a demo where I send nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx $10 from my bank account to his Lightning Address. we aren’t far away from cross-currency payments over the internet looking like sending an email over the internet
Strike Africa, Strike EU, Strike LatAm coming up next. looking to ship Africa before Christmas
stay humble, stack shipping 🚢🛳️⛴️ https://v.nostr.build/8KPa.mp4
What made you come around to lnurl/lightning address? 🥳
Not really. Miners are free to move, pools don't control the network, and Bitcoin doesn't need exchanges to spread globally (compared to the past, exchanges don't even hold that much Bitcoin anymore).
CCP can do a lot of things with their top-down authoritarian control, but controlling the free market isn't one of them, slow it down, sure.
how many times have they 'banned' Bitcoin now? If they could do it in a second, why did they need so many attempts?
