Which parts did you use? And did you have to solder or use micro screwdriver? Sorry for all the questions 😅 this is some nice shit

What do i need to make those?

Like a walkie for messages? 😅

What am i looking at?

Cool! How’s it work?

So, askrene (the routing oracle plugin) has support for layers, each containing information about channels (also, can add/remove channels and nodes, but that's mainly for special-effects for particular payments).

It would not be hard to import/export entire layers: I've speculated that LSPs or large players may want to issue "weather reports" which could be incorporated this way. There are two issues:

1. Needs a standard format. This is easy, let's come up with something?

2. Privacy of those contributing to the data. This is hard, I don't know how to fuzz/exclude/delay data to avoid revealing the individual payments, but someone surely does?

This is absolutely a service you could charge for, too. Perhaps a free version with very rough data, and a tier with more complete data?

ARE THERE ANY SOCIAL NOSTR CLIENTS WITH AN INTEGRATED CASHU WALLET YET?

I'm working on a new pay plugin called xpay (working title). It's designed to use the new (very WIP) askrene plugin, which provides routes. Actually, most of the work is there, fixing and enhancing that. Especially diagnosis: *why* did it give a weird/no route? Common issues are: there's a good channel but it's offline, or doesn't have capacity, or you don't have enough capacity at all, or the recipient doesn't. We've had issues where gossip is missing, too: detecting when that happens is an open research question, but we'll start probing more aggressively.

There have been many complaints about pay in the wild, and the code has grown quite complex. I've heard good things about Boltz's mpay, which is far simpler, so I'm inspired to go in that direction. Moving the routing (which *is* complex!) out is the first step.

To be honest, I should have taken a direct interest in this earlier. I considered pay a simple problem, or at least not one I needed to concern myself with. But better late than never!

Do you consider WhatsApp or Snapchat a social media? What kind of intervention do you think I’m talking about?

Bullying is a complex phenomenon that is reinforced by social media. Most people find it difficult to understand that it involves not only a victim and an aggressor but also those who are the facilitators or passive witnesses. In addition, both the victim and the aggressor have certain particular characteristics that make them prone to bullying. In this particular case, I would tend to go for intervention considering the vulnerability of the adolescent stage where the opinion of peers is important and where part of the individual's personality develops.

Online bullying is a human behavior issue, not a tech platform issue.

I just ran a 3-hour workshop on business model design for a startup accelerator here in Nashville. I volunteer once or twice a year, and have for over a decade. These are earnest, devoted entrepreneurs. But it’s impossible not to see how, increasingly, their presumed paths to success hinge on government funding or related programs.

It’s yet another way in which the State intermediates itself into markets, interfering with their function and distorting their signals.

A Bitcoin standard fixes this.
