Remember when they removed the sensor from Neo?
There are more and more 0% fee offers for swap-out and swap-ins on nostr:npub1p2psats79rypr8lpnl9t5qdekfp700x660qsgw284xvq4s09lqrqqk3m82 lately - love to see it.
The cheapest option to rebalance your channels.
And it's much faster and convenient, too! The fucking KYC registration process alone takes ages
Oh, and if you connected your phone to a car (which no one should ever do), then also the phone metadata.
EU planning for real-time of monitoring of cars metadata - incl. IMEI + VIN (unique ID of Sim card and car), position of the car, speeding, fuel etc.
Fuck this dystopia!

If they really go for Taiwan, then it must be clear even to blindest person that COVID was a scam and deliberate attack. Hybrid warfare.

The Lightning (powered by Greenlight) integration is not GA yet. You need an access key. Blockstream gave them away at BTCPrague, but i think you can also email them and ask kindly 😉
My favorite nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg feature you probably don't know about? Connecting your wallet to a service for recurring payment requests. So many use cases for this!
Also, if you like the wallet, support the team with a few sats.
Redshift? As in "AWS Redshift database"? 🤔
I just learned yesterday that nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n had a Lightningize API since freakin 2018!!
It's called Paypercall (go figure) and it it predates all the recent x-cashu ( nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg) and L402 stuff.
I don't know of I should laught or cry.

Phoenix wallet making a fire improvement for their self-custodial lightning wallet!
https://acinq.co/blog/phoenix-splicing-update
While you were making Bitcoin banks, Phoenix scripted out lightning channel management
While LND was making shitcoins on Bitcoin, Phoenix was implementing splicing
While you were making DNS addresses for lightning zaps, Phoenix was working on bolt 12
When the custodial rug pulls and rehypothecation comes, when the government attack strike down, when the lightning shitcoins lose speculative value, only Phoenix wallet users will be ready. For it spent its time improving the protocol
Love Phoenix. But when "the government attack strikes down", they will likely be hit first.
They operate the biggest Lightning node on the network and sit on a lot of metadata since alle Phoenix users have their only channels with ACINQ.
Worst of all, they are a EU legal entity, and MiCA (Markets in Crypto assets) which is coming into effect 2024 stipulates "making transactions on behalf of others" as a Crypto asset service, and Crypto Asset Service Providers to collect KYC info from sender of receiver of *all transactions*.
Maybe they and other LSPs will fly under the radar forr some time. But don't tell me they are somehow immune to govt crackdown
What the British don't seem to understand is that there is no such thing as "encryption in the UK". If this bad law passes, everyone in the UK can still get Signal, WhatsApp and other tools from outside the UK, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
This has been going on for decades. Governments in totalitarian states masquerading as democracies countries like Britain and France have long conceded that GPG and SSL cannot be compromised without undermining eCommerce and banking, and so have quietly, grudgingly relented and shrunk away from trying to control those universal tools.
Damien Green is famous for organising the unethical seizure of Facebook company documents:
and so any pretence that Britain is a democracy where the rule of law is in place is absurd on its face, as is the idea that there will be proper controls over who gets to look at private Signal messages. They can "seize" anything they like at any time, without a warrant, believe it or not. And then they BOAST about it:
https://twitter.com/DamianCollins/status/1066613739607261185?s=20
No one in their right mind believes any assurances given by any State when it comes to self control about reading other people's messages. That's just one aspect.
The other aspect is this. No American company will cripple their software at the behest of the Saudi Arabian government. They will continue to make their apps available unrestricted and unfettered, and there is nothing anyone anywhere can do about it.
As long as this is true, anyone anywhere on earth can install an unmodified copy of Signal, and it will not be possible for any State to control the billions of people who are using those apps. It will not be possible for them to know that the apps are being used at all.
The world has changed, and gentlemen like Damien Green are having a hard time coming to terms with it. All the arguments they're able to mount to do with porn and other bad things have been used for decades without any effect. Anyone can Google the Crypto Wars and see that the arguments are exactly the same today as they were in the past.
Read this which deals with this subject from 1985. There is even a physiognomic clone of Gargoyle Gary Gensler taking the side of censorship and fear mongering.

If the British pass this law, all it will do is further impoverish the people there. They've already all but extinguished Bitcoin businesses in the UK; they're going to make sure that no one starting any sort of business running on the prerequisite of unbroken encryption software or the Bitcoin chain of blocks considers Britain, not even as a bad joke.
America (even with its serious problems) and new Super Contestant entrants like El Salvador will continue to hoover up all the software talent of the world, allow people to launch secure and strong services, and there is nothing INGSOC can do about it. All they can do is make impotent gestures like this scabrous, scandalous, toxic bill that no one will obey and that will cause all developers to run to Heathrow.
The fact of the matter is that these entrepreneurs fleeing Britain will be going to places that have large pools of talent made up of fellow escapees from all over the world, who have moved to where the work and innovation are. If there is no innovation in Britain, no one will set up companies there and no one will be hired there. Everything will move to free countries.
Once the seeds are planted in other countries, it will be nearly impossible to coax entrepreneurs to "Move to Silicon Roundabout" without getting laughed out of the room:

Britain is finished as a possible "International Tech Hub". They did it to themselves, refuse to take proper advice, and now everyone is leaving. The very fact that this bill is even being discussed is stopping people from considering anything there.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!

What a coincidence that the #EU pushes forward with their #CSEM bill (Child Sexual exploitatoin material) aka the "chat control bill" at the very same time, dont you think?
The #chatcontrol proposal also stipulates that every communication app has to scan for "harmfiul" content - either on the server (non E2E services, which no one should use anyway) or directly on the device (E2E).
And moron Ylva Yohansson, the commissioner responsible for this nonsense, claims that it is possible to "selectively scan messages and find abusive content" without breaking or circumventing encryption. These people are so dumb, or so corrupt. Or both
Break the rules before they break you!
Is that a rhetorical question?
99% i would guess.
Twitter is obviously much broader. But its role as THE global town square was harmful in the end. With the sentiment on Twitter you could push whole nations.
Balkanization of social media is necessary at this stage.
Quitting is really easy. You already made it 99 times!
I haven't heard that take before. Elon's rate limiting as a fight against the censorship military complex. Not sure I buy it, but there is certainly an aspect to it.
