Nice day. Pura Vida
Going to be in Costa Rica from 8-22 for #nostrica and was considering a detour in the middle 12-16 to either another area in CR or hop up to El Salvador. Suggestions?
Yay! And drafts as well
Man I guess inflation really does hit every single section and profession!

This is awesome. Looking forward to you digging in
Honestly I should just PR it instead of asking. Just promise to be gentle. My TS is almost non-existent

Officially retired from fiat mining today. First order of business is to remove all trace of high time preference. Next up, focused time on my #nostr project #nostrly.
Thank you all for being here at just the right time in my life, but especially
* #[2] for sounding the #nostr call on the bird app, supporting the community via his donations and of course the 🫂s
* #[4] for his unrelenting optimism and and energy
Yes, exactly
Did you start to have withdraw?
I *think* I will stay at a place my friend owns and should have some extra room. Lemme get details together
There are certainly considerations in non-US jurisdictions, but section 230 protection would certainly extend to relays. In particular, since they **only** handle text
You really need to look at a longer term than “always profitable”. The suggested $5/mo number is low enough that most ppl will not think twice. What you need to do is model the system and understand: 1) that most ppl will never use $5 of resources; and 2) where the crossover to profitable point is. Then plan accordingly. It is going to be hard to it with no risk for some period.
OTOH, the relay is pretty lightweight on a per event basis versus a “unit of server”.
Good morning! I am about to execute **Life Hack 6102-F: Pay bills with Fold and get bitcoin back**. *May the gambling odds ever be in my favor.*
**What am I doing?**
I use a rewards credit card to purchase *everything*. Then, once a month, I pay the full credit card bill off via my Fold debit card. I get bitcoin back for things that I would normally have to buy and I also earn other rewards. It's a win/win.
**How do you do it?**
I use PayPal's bill pay feature. I have my [Fold debit card](https://use.foldapp.com/r/DEREKROSS) setup in PayPal. I use PayPal to find and add my bills. I pay the bill with PayPal and set PayPal to use my Fold debit card for that transaction. PayPal then debits my Fold card and I get bitcoin back!
**How much do you get back?*
Well, that depends. You can get a flat 1% back or you can gamble a bit and spin a wheel of random opportunities. Generally speaking, if you have enough spins available, you can get 2% back or sometimes more if you're really lucky. I generally try to have ~10 spins available for paying large bills. That *almost* guarantees 2%. (I was able to get 3% back on my mortgage last week.)
**Fold sucks!**
Yes. Fold's rewards and gamification efforts have declined. They keep changing their rules and modifying how *the game* works. I fully agree, I hate it, and it's annoying. That said, until something better comes along that is going to give me ~500K sats back every month for things I have to do anyways, then I'm going to continue to use this.
I am excited to see what Strike offer's when they launch their [debit card](https://invite.strike.me/OL0N3F). Maybe they'll give a more flat rate in rewards and you won't have to play these games? Who knows?
Fold is better than getting cash back from other cards, especially considering sats/$ during this bear market. Low time preference is how you win on Fold.
