Square terminals accepting Lightning payments is the most significant thing that has happened in Bitcoin in years.

Incredible. Bitcoin is money ✊

With the exception of Ross and a few others US Bitcoin Convention has basically become the MAGA yankee Blackrock crowd super-duper shit show

I was tempted to go, yesterday I was traveling and randomly I bumped into a person that said they were going and they were going to be a speaker. We started chatting and all they wanted to pitch me was that I need to get as much ETH as possible.

Yeah it's been impossible to keep them open. Each time I open at even higher fee, but it still ends up drained within 24 hours! Last one at 7500ppm only lasted a few hours.

Never seen conditions like this. Someone has been moving massive amounts of sats last few days 👀

In fact, I think that is wrong, too. That is the growth in tor Nodes. So, yes all accessibly nodes are counter here and the TOR nodes are in the top group.

Here are all nodes (accessible or not):

and tor nodes:

The numbers don't quit sync, which bugs me as a data architect, but it isn't my data.

Interesting, ok. Everyone I know runs a tor node so if that’s true, that number seems way too low. I feel like I know over 200 people running on tor.

This is my understanding:

This count does include accessible TOR nodes, as indicated by the ".onion: +0.9%" in the protocol breakdown. This means 0.9% of the 22,313 nodes (approximately 201 nodes) are accessible via TOR.

Maybe you mean private TOR nodes?

Holy fuck, #Nodelou🐈 literally just paid the mortgage from last 24 hours of routing fees alone 🤯

It's so incredibly hard to hear someone go off about "how expensive everything is" and how "we dont get paid enough" and "how low wages are"...

Then explain to them that inflation literally causes all of this, and that the reason it feels like running on a treadmill is because **by default you get poorer if you dont get at least a 7% raise every year.**

And then they say "but nobody would buy anything if money got more valuable, it would ruin the economy."

Mothafukr you are LITERALLY linking the chains that you complain about weighing you down.
