Yes, always thought about this bullshit going on. They would not let me pay with a 100 euro note at the super market recently.

What is the name of the guy?

We are like #monero secret society within #nostr 😂. The difference with reddit is that maxis cannot ban us on #nostr.

What is interesting to notice is that there is conversation about #monero and everything I see about other altcoins is scammy spam.

Unfortunately lightning network is crappy :|. I wish it was better, but simply it is not. Hopefully with future second layers we are going to have better usability. On chain transactiona are perfectly reliable and dependable but it is quite shameful to send 100$ and pay 1$ in fee with money that we present as a liberation from an unfair system.

Embarrassing failure of an orange-pilling last night.

I was at a neighborhood party and a neighbor asked me about bitcoin. We talked for a bit and he asked me how to get some. I said I'll send you some right now and you can send me cash via zelle.

I tell him to download Phoenix wallet. So far so good. I fired up Strike, loaded up $100 and tried to send. Failure #1: the $100 apparently needs to clear before I can send it anywhere. First time that's happened to me and I use Strike somewhat regularly.

Ok, no problem, I'll just send it from my node. So I fire up nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 , scan the QR, and hit send, and it spins.....and spins......and spins......and spins......and then times out.

No indication of why it couldn't complete before timeout. I have plenty of overall outbound capacity, and no trouble connecting to the node. I guess my set of channels aren't well enough connected or the outbound capacity isn't in the right channels. Failure #2.

So at this point I'm really starting to look like an asshole.

Final attempt, I guess I'll try sending on chain from my node. So I ask him to switch to an on chain address and send the sats...success! Well, only on my side.

Phoenix gave him no notification of receipt and the balance didn't show up in his wallet until after it was confirmed. Failure #3.

Needless to say, this guy is probably not too impressed.

I am sorry, I have to say this. I know there are many maxis here. Next time send them #Monero. Cheap, instant, secure, private, non-custodial. They will learn to use #Bitcoin later to store wealth. 🙂

You actually made me laugh out loud with this meme. Because I know someone who likely does this!

Satoshi mined 1 million bitcoins straight away after creating it and then never moved it. So I guess he thought 20 mln in circulation was a good number and 1 million to mine in the beginning and not move until who knows when was a fair amount.

You defined the state of things very well. It is ok, accept it, embrace it and think of how you can use this to your advantage. Speak to those who are willkng to listen and grow together and praise those who only want to ear praise.

We always should measure ourselves with our previous versions not with others it allows us for unlimited growth.

Brother I got you! I know an easy trick to deal with all of these people at once, fail on the front, make it look to them as if you are dull and unsuccesful as they are.

Meanwhile when you go back home, count your stack and plan your conquering of the planet rejoice within yourself about your success, share your success with the very few who love you and you whom love back, strive for more accomplishment and reflect on how you will avoid ever being dull and unsuccessfull like most.

Yes it is also a possibility. I think it might have been someone not so lucid who gave the wrong room number at the reception asking to have a copy of the card and found out it was the wrong number when he entered the room.

I had a door blocker and a tactical folding knife so I could sleep the rest of the night. I will take the habit of always blocking the doors.

Good morning, tonight I was woken up by my wife because some stranger entered our hotel room, switched on the light and quickly left.

I had to go to the reception and try to understand what the hell is happening. It seems someone might have gained the key to our room from the reception desk and some genious at the reception did not ask for the name of the guest.

Travelling for years in many countries this never happened before.

I came to the conclusion that we will have to block the door from inside every night in the future.

Did it ever happen to you?

What do you think this person was doing?
