๐ choo-choo! 
๐ซ In my last update shared almost 3 months ago I mentioned a challenging period when a wave of redundancies affected both myself and many close friends.
Its been difficult navigating the minefield of the hiring process that seems to be the norm now compared to the past, itโs been a stressful time but Iโm now fortunate enough to say that I have secured a new position and I can begin to stress less and live more.
Employment aside and looking back now, the hardest pill to swallow over the last 3 months was the need to use my emergency fund to get by and not have the means to accumulate more BTC. Iโm now looking forward to being able to top up the spent rainy day funds so that I can get back to stacking sats in the new year.
The good news from all of this is I didnโt need to loose any BTC during this time to survive ๐ค
Ngl having one tap #zaps back in #Damus feels good
I really do appreciate being able to use zapr.social as a awesome work around. Thank you zapr dev nostr:npub1ym4skeakd7j9ujy9tq8kt3szzw09depa0duhrz4a7v3etvafgu3qrc4ar4
Youโre welcome! Iโve not used zapr.social for a while now but Iโm glad it served you well until you could get one tap zaps back ๐ซ
Thereโs an extension called cloak that might be worth a try.
๐ซ Life's journey has its ups and downs, and today I find myself at a crossroads. After an amazing 6-year ride, I've been made redundant. It's a tough pill to swallow, but I'm not giving up.
To all my fellow job seekers out there, remember that setbacks are temporary. We're resilient, and our skills are valuable. Let's keep pushing forward!
How much longer until X is just now as X and not โX formally twitterโ ๐
Question for anyone running bitcoin core, how soon after a release do you update? Iโm still running the previous release 24.1 even though 25.0 was release back in May ๐ค
Are you on iOS 17 beta? Damus has been crashing every 3-5 minutes for a few weeks on my device, Iโve just put it down to me running a beta OS ๐ค
This happened a lot in the past, after the umpteenth time I told them I donโt want to have to call every week to get my transaction approved so it stopped for about 12 months but it looks like they may now be picking this practice/policy up again.
Bitcoin on ramp issues again, the bank rejecting a payment to an exchange until I call them and listen to their usual spiel ๐
Come back up now, was a period of about 15 minutes in with buy/sell disabled. The only time Iโve seen this from #coinbase is during scheduled maintenance with plenty of warning in advance there was nothing just now.
Has #coinbase disabled buy/sell? Showing as view only market right now, wtf?
my #sats received to #sats #zapped ratio is roughly 14:1
for every 14 sats I receive, I (so far) have #zapped 1
whatโs yours? ๐

Have I been zapping wrong all this time?
(1:7) Sent 7 sats for every sat Iโve received.

Receiving 1 sat or 100, it feels good all the same my friend ๐ซ
