thank you sir!
nostr feels much harder to get engagement than Twitter.
on Twitter I just post stuff and then I have interesting conversations.
on Nostr it feels like I have to chase after people to get them to respond.
then usually they just ghost anyway and the effort feels wasted.
but I'll keep trying I guess! I like the idea of Nostr, and I'll definitely spend more time here if I can get some bolt12 zaps!
sounds awesome! cryptography is super cool, like doing magic spells 🪄
I've been working on helping people set up nodes, and working on software to help merchants accept lightning using their own nodes! I have some accounting software I've written for CLN, and I maintain and teach CLN plugins.
Right, cool. Now how do I just make that the default, and get rid of the menu that pops up every time I want to use my default like?
oh, neat!
not every day you get to meet a green guy!
working on anything interesting these days?
and who are you?
nice to meet you 🤝
The ecosystem has moved past LND.
No one is required to use LND, I recommend using something else.
I'm asking for things *you* consider good haha
Anyone know what's up with Amethyst forcing me to choose an emoji for my likes? Like why not just make a default one, I don't get it
Hello Nostr!
Time for my twice- or thrice-yearly check in!
Anyone here yet?
It already works
Yes, any proposal that may enable significant MEV needs to include a proof of why either the potential MEV is not, in fact, enabled, or the MEV it enables isn't harmful.
You literally don't
Anything going on on Nostr? Any controversial topics for me to weigh in on?
Guessing no one will reply to this
Just have boundaries
If a company fires you for not being available all the time when the job does not require this, you're at the wrong company.
>I think all citizens deserve “property” protection from law enforcement, regardless of real estate ownership status. “Property” defined more broadly to include goods and body.
I think everyone deserves protection too, but I think the same thing about food. Just because someone deserves something doesn't mean they're entitled to demand that others provide that good free of charge. If you think some people are required to protect other people free of charge, you are a Communist.
>We started with property tax, which is only levied against real estate owners. I’m simply making the case that property taxes are an unfair form of taxation, especially because of how the funds are redistributed.
Sure, if funds were only put towards protection of property, that would be a much better situation. Of course, property owners may decide that providing other free services to residents helps protect property in the long run by limiting unrest.
>Thanks for engaging earnestly 🙏
Same to you! :)
Neat, thanks!
As in, why protect people who in no way benefit the property owners?
It makes sense for police to prosecute other crimes because ultimately that benefits property owners and their loved ones and customers.
If someone comes to a piece of property and doesn't bring any benefit to the owners of that property, it makes no economic sense to protect those people. In practice, of course, almost everyone inhabiting a piece of property is associated with the property owners somehow.
