Unclench your jaw

This season's scripts are so bad, they read like they were written by Ayn Rand.

There is an large subset in this latest cohort of Bitcoiners that seem deathly allergic to two objectively true things:

1) There is risk. You aren't entitles to sick gains.

2) This is actually a technology. You could stand to fucking learn about it.

This is why the left constantly tries eject entire FOSS projects from other consuming FOSS projects -- they can't stand that people they disagree with are capable of continuting, garnering respect and winning recognition despite the fact that they aren't a frothing-at-the-mouth moonbat.

It's pretty bad at nix too.

I shall report back with ways 4 through 6.

I dont disagree with Phoenix for stress-free lightning use among people who understand the tradeoffs, buy my beef is with people who recommend it for an onboarding experience. The minute you have to explain the upfront cost to someone by mentioning channels when they have never even held their own bitcoin, you've already convinced them that lightning sucks. I'm talking about the scenario where you have to salt the pitch with "Hey I'd like to pay for this $8.00 burrito with bitcoin, and by the way, this first transaction and any subsequent larger transaction is gonna cost you more in fees than what you pay visa or square."

Zeus is great, but there's no way I can recommend it for onboarding. Firstly, the transparency of channel management is great for someone who understands it, but you quickly start tossing a word salad trying to explain it to someone who's never even held their own bitcoin. Secondly, the leasing model assumes you've already convinced someone to use the wallet for months to a year, and that conflicts with convincing someone that this is some no-commitment harmless little demo. Thirdly, while I appreciate the exhaustive feature set and pace of delivery, it's unstable and requires you to open the swiss army knife of settings/tools to wrestle it into usability, from having to manually push ecash index counters to widening derivation path index gaps or straight up abandoning the wallet for manual Sparrow UTXO rescue in a recovery scenario.

In the future, all Bitcoin podcasts are Sans Serif Bold Title Talking Head on a Black Background.

All the "easy"self-chstody lightning wallets seem to just use some "don't make me think" slight-of-hand that is ultimately belied as a really crap tradeoff.

Phoenix: Outrageous fees. Quickly looks like shit when you try to onboard someone with $10 and they receive $8.50.Even once they have a channel, the routing fees are like 10x what they should be. Don't demo this to vendors looking to escape credit card fees.

Aqua: Your "lightning" payment gets trapped in some limbo, where you can't tell if it failed, if it's multi-pathing, or whatever the fuck they are doing behind the curtain. Don't demo this to people who want instant settlement.

Wallet of Satoshi/Breez/Blitz: Last mile of the payment is paved with surveilance. Don't use this if you wa to demonstrate censorship resistance.

Keep going, you're almost there

No I was just a simp for the guy in the day and adopted the term.

This term originated in film critique from a long-defunct website called "The Filthy Critic".

Don't see it

We come to these conclusions using input processed through faulty hardware. When you say "potato", the neurons in your jar brain can only draw from your subjective experience of what a potato is. When someone else hears you say "potato", they can't possibly be experiencing the same platonic form of a potato as your brain. You are both experiencing different potatos.

Ahhhh Okay please do this regularly on nostr k thanks

I don't know what a blossom server is, and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.

I would really like to try to dogfood this as I am also building a nostr-integrated meetup website. If you have a public repo, please kindly share it.

When you say "my website", do you mean you have a nostr-native web app that can support meetup needs?

True, but you can only know the potato through experience, which is subjective. The same potato could be highly valued or totally disposable based on how hungry or poor you are.

"In May 2025, the company announced that rogue customer support agents had given access to hackers who demanded a $20 million ransom to not publish information stolen from a compromised database.

Coinbase later specified that the incident had affected about 69,500 customers, exposing their names, dates of birth, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers (SSNs), physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses."

Jesus creeping shit, can you use a content warning next time?

Two things happen when the ideological weapons factories have completely used up a term like "white surpemacy" to the point it has no meaning beyond "something I dont like."

1) People stop taking them seriously

2) People become numb to actual white supremacy

I turned 500 oz of silver into cash when it was languising under $15. I ran around town feeding the no-KYC Bitcoin ATMs with as many c-notes as the daily limit would allow. I'm up so much on that trade, silver would have to go to like $2500 dollars an ounce before gave a shit.

Good satire.

Personally, I dont trust anyone that, unsolicited, profers the opinion that they are a good person. I never even encountered such a sussy self-assessment outside of toxic thought circles until woke culture escaped the ideological weapons lab of the modern academy.

What do you suggest for LN node runners who dont want to doxx their IP?

Thanks Evan. This was an interesting exercise. If you could think of some way to idiot-proof the duress pin change workflow for complete doorknobs like myself, that would be good. (Not that I think I'll be making the same mistake again).

Something on this screen might say "Enter your regular unlock PIN. Do not enter your existing duress PIN, or Zeus will smite thee and thou wilt have a stressful Christmas."

On-chain UTXO recovery in the Zeus LND node is straight ass. One way trip to asstown.

Okay much bigger issue. LND Node Wallet Restore from seed phrase just shows infinite loading screen. Uninstalling and downgrading works.
