I recently finished an 8 book series in the niche "litrpg" that was published a chapter at a time on royalroad.com . It's not always the finest literature but some can be quite entertaining.
It's an interesting direct to consumer model. They must monetize with ads, but why not zap ⚡ your favorite reads?
PSA: On chain fees are very low right now. If you are running Phoenix wallet in legacy mode, please upgrade your channels.
## Legacy mode and channels closing
"Phoenix v2 was released 1 year ago and v1 legacy channels will soon be closed. The v2 upgrade notices in the v1 legacy mode have been updated. Users that are still using the legacy mode should migrate as soon as possible. Note that this migration to v2 is automated, and free.

Sometimes I think about the alternative timeline where the HD DVD private key was not exfiltrated and so movie piracy never took off and then streaming never became a thing.

Great! just putting the finish touches on a very basic set of instructions. I would love to have someone else try to follow the setup steps and give feedback.
After you get it working I'm sure you'll have some suggestions for what to add or change.
My son will demo the bolt-12 tips system live today on his Minecraft stream, details to follow.
Excited that our little father/son project has finally come together!
Same in Sweden, and the real joke is people don't even realize that they are working as serfs for their government overlords. At least serfs did not fool themselves about who was calling the shots.
Any Twitch streamers out there interested in receiving Bitcoin via bolt-12 ?
I'm playing around with a self custodial solution that you can run on your PC. I'm looking for feedback on what features are important.
When I was 17 I had a "free reading" class where the only work was to read a certain number of pages and write a book report for each book I read. To minimize the number of reports, I selected the largest fiction book on my parents book shelf - Atlas Shrugged (800 pages). I've been skeptical of government economic and cultural propaganda since.
It's been a gradual awakening about other topics since then, but 2008 made me very awake about classic investing. Although I took the wrong lessons - I should have double downed on leverage and buying stocks instead of into mostly cash and SPY.
It wasn't until Bitcoin that exactly how the economic game has been played by those in power has started to make sense.
I have their bolt-12 addresses in my Phoenix contacts list. It's very easy to pay them now even if they're not home when I do it. Works just like using Cash App now 😁
What kind of flooring you going with?
I've been dreaming of laying a water heated floor in the basement with miners providing the heat. Bonus would be to switch the heated water to something like a pool in the summer. Though tbh we can use the heat 9 mo of the year.
or maybe there just hasn't been any real good new music created since then.. 😁
