Unpopular opinion:

Coinjoining is not something to proceed with unless you are willing to do a lot of research and understand what you are doing, and what the best practices are.

Failing to do so will likely result in burning a lot of sats in fees for no privacy gain whatsoever.

You also have to realize that the other people coinjoining with you might compromise their privacy in a way that makes it more clear who owns what.

I'm not saying it's not worth doing, but be aware that it's not a push button solution without any other considerations.

Remember that as bitcoin's value appreciates, more people will be using it. There will be greater distribution even as the individual amounts used will be smaller.

I think it'll trend toward greater number of sats locked up in channels over time as adoption increases.

Some days I wonder if there are any elites out there that see Bitcoin and Nostr coming to eat their lunch.

Probably not. Most of these people likely drink their own kool-aid and think they are good guys. And also something something we're so early.

But it's fun to think about some of them losing sleep.

It's not really a principle, but it took me a long time to accept that Bitcoin is not its USD exchange rate. Price is an externality.

It's not a single player game, although you could play it as such and just trade off at intervals.

My wife and I have put in around 300 hours or so into Valheim. It's gorgeous without requiring a bleeding edge gaming rig. Gameplay involves base building, resource management, exploration, combat, and progression that's very satisfying.

What platform?

Great idea with playing single player games together by the way. There's a limited number of cooperative multiplayer games that appeal to my wife and I, so that presents an interesting new option to explore.

- Coracle - feed doesn’t auto-refresh if you leave the tab and come back

- Zap.stream - duplicate streams (agree!)

- zap.stream (should remove following hashtags - via @Karnage)

Thank you for compiling this list!

I'm reading The Fourth Turning is Here right now. It's an interesting theory, and I think there's something to it, but only if you look at it in terms of trends and not specifics. I agree with St. Onge here - it's too messy and with too many variables to count on it being so deterministic.

It just depends on what risk profile you are comfortable with, and what tradeoffs you are willing to have.

It might be good to understand multisig so that you have more options available. You never know when your risk tolerance will change, or if the threats you are guarding against suddenly warrants it.

That was my second cassette, after the black album šŸ¤

Enter Sandman hooked me on music when I was 10.

Before I heard it on the radio music was just background noise. Pleasant but nothing special. This song caused me to seek out the album, and then explore the genre, and then explore adjacent genres. I couldn't get enough.

Amethyst by farm such a great client.

When you are typing and the carriage return moves below the bottom of the screen it doesn't move the screen down unless you pause your typing to swipe the screen up. It drives me nuts.

It's kinda like if there was a magic bulletin board that everyone has in their home.

When someone adds something to the board, everyone else can see it on theirs.

If you don't like what someone is posting on their board, you can choose to stop seeing those messages.

No one can tell you what to post on the board, or what not to. No one owns the network of bulletin boards, it's kind of similar to public infrastructure, like a sidewalk or a road.

Literal fortunes, plural lol

It would be amazing to see what future generations will build on top of the base, second, third layers to accommodate scaling and payments.
