When using #lightning at bars/ restaurants, how does tipping work? You just ask them to add some before they finalize the amount and generate the qr code?

You can't really just leave some sats on the table when you leave, or add the tip onto the bill yourself.

Your daily reminder to not be so racist that it makes you gay.

i just actually looked at nip-06 and bip-39 and this shit is not fit for nostr keys

bip-39 prescribes an ordered list of 2048 words, and 2048 is 2^11 so each word can represent 11 bits

24x11=264 so 24 words can be a complete nostr secret key of 256 bits plus 8 bits of check just to make sure you don't bugger it up, last word is 3 bits of the key and 8 bits of the check, but whatever, fuck it, not the same as the check in bip-39 however idgaf

i'll adapt this word list and write a little ditty that turns your nsec into 24 words and you will be happy

Do you mean “nobody accepts it”?

Try paying for Starbucks, or McDonald’s (or anything really), with Bitcoin in San Salvador (the capital city of El Salvador). Nobody excepts it.

is anyone trying to zap me and failing right now?

not sure, maybe it's fixed... i'm running alby hub on their cloud deployment i seem to be able to send out but the log shows nothing inbound for since i switched it over

you think it's worse than finland? i dont like -27 celsius (during winter time) in southern finland plus it rains a lot here, i doubt it could be much worse than this

Eastern europe is nice, been thinking of Estonia if i could one day just move there...

that's the neat thing, now USA gets fomo because china is stacking, and now obviously russia gonna be stacking

they are saying "russia legalizing bitcoin payments for international business" in the headlines but i think technically they are decriminalizing it, because it was previously criminalized.

it's kinda big news for us bitcoiners though

it's yet more adoption of its bulk MoE use case, it probably opens the door to lightning payments for the micro-small-transaction use case, and is an interesting case study of proving Bastiat's point about how trade and war are a balance where one prevents the other, and preventing one encourages the other

interesting to see how the further east the more time people spend at work

in eastern europe due to communism there is still a lingering "heroic worker" idea and managers drive their workers to work stupid hours

and yes, lots of burnout happens, it happened to me in bulgaria working for a remote app support shop, owned and run by english people, bulgarian law allows employment contracts to have clauses saying that any extra hours are "summarised" or in other words, you don't get paid for extra hours if they decide not to

i was doing about 50 hours of which a big part was night shifts and i came undone, and one night just walked out in the middle of the night shift

stupid fucking communism
