WTF are zaps?

Will reward best explanations with sats (up to 1k) ⚡️

A transfer of Bitcoin value over the lightning network from a sender to a recipient where the receiving custodial provider issues a receipt in accordance with Nostr protocol standards

Direct lightning payments, including to custodial lightning url provider (LNURL) accounts are not zaps unless the request was signed by an initiator referencing a public key or event id for use in requesting an invoice, and receipt published after funds received.

I dislike the general consumerism of Christmas.

//insert whatever gift giving occassion you want in place of Christmas if you have some other holiday//

I grew up in a household without Christmas or Birthday parties. We did visit relatives for Thanksgiving, and my grandmother did give gifts and birthday cards with a fiver, some years a ten, so its not like Ive been completely sheltered. Even so, every schoolyear, fellow students would get excited about the things they wanted for Christmas, and then inevitably be wearing fresh clothes and showing off their stuff in the new year.

As an adult I got to start doing Christmassy things, like decorating, buying, wrapping and giving gifts, occassionally being invited to a party. But it seems all so superficial. Theres this sense of obligation to give gifts, and it makes me realize how much stress it is to try to guess what someone would like, what would be useful, how much to spend, etc. And it happens not only for Christmas, but birthdays too. Its exhausting, and not in a way that makes the work involved worth doing. It needs simplified.

There was a time that giving cash was tacky, an example of not knowing someone well enough to give them something with thought put into it. In recent years thats been turned 180, as if you dont get some big gift like a new phone, car, playstation 8, a vr headset, YABA TV, then cash is preferred (sats are better)

Ive been trying to give consumable gifts in recent years to reduce the long-term-total-cost-and-hassle-of-ownership burden on gift recipients. They can use and be done with it, or simply trash. Theres no worries about needing to remember who bought what, and having something prominently displayed in the home if they are over for dinner.

I dont know what to gift this year and the clock is ticking. The stress is heating up. Maybe i dont give anything. Maybe i make a last minute dash to TJ Maxx or something for some random stuff i can wrap. ugh. no good answers.

the version i have is different and must be older. i figured it out though. after restoring wallet it defaults to bitcoin. then i choose three dot menu in upper right corner to add account. from there the asset selector is defaulted to bitcoin but can be changed to liquid. once added, the unused account can be archived to remove from view

Anyone know how to use @Blockstream Green wallet to restore Liquid wallet?

It only shows BTC for the version Im looking at

#asknostr #liquid #LBTC

Anyone got any reviews for Speedball?

i think most inscriptions are garbage but valid transactions, and an interesting way to use bitcoin as a permissionless distribution network for long lived data someone wants to make public. fee pressure helps miners and redistributes wealth in an optin manner. i dont feel bad for people thinking their ordinal inscriptions are worth something more than the sats that make up the utxo.

9 is best.

i like 3 and 7 as well.

no idea who they are

i hope so. leaves more transaction fees for the better pools. in that block ocean mined they gave up about 1% of value vs what they could have had. thats like a bonus for other pools.

When do we get to do #movie night again? Have I missed it by being to wrapped up in being a #degen in #TheCasine?

I dont know. I thought nostr:npub17ranr5vpp20etheaz78u6e72pvyc0xk3r6rgnetfvtxc88acat2q4nhenz was planning that one Paprika movie for November but never saw details after selection. Wasnt nostr:npub1jv3tmy30yrr0ek0fzdz5wfanh0pdp947fqgewyz44qndmg75ev9sz7lakg involved as well? Maybe a funding issue? Seemed the best way was setting up cloudflare for cdn

just doing some math on the calculator

Just got notified that an amazon item that was supposed to be delivered today is "running late" and is now expected December 7.

Reason #79888 why I dont pay for Amazon Prime

Seth for Privacy has the best notes on it..TLDR is..

- pool is custodial where earnings to address is under threshold

- pool censors transactions, more than OFAC non compliant, and foregos potential earnings as a result

- pool is a rebrand, not a new pool
