The zaps notifications are broken. I think the LN wallets have to support NIP57 to get the full “Zap” functionality with verification. Currently Strike doesn’t support this, not sure what Luke uses either.
Same; people are really discounting the negatives as if there are no tangible downsides 🤦♂️.
KDE Plasma 5.27 is clean AF!
You’ve been Nostracized
Once the clients get a little more refined and the relays develop more resiliency and expanded feature sets I think Hypernostrization will start to pick up steam.
I'm not big on the retail/commercial holidays especially V-day; decided to shake things up this year and surprise the misses with some home cooked goodness. Local grass fed & finished top sirloin stuffed with organic garlic and jalapenos, montreal dry rubbed, cooked medium rare. Blanched some organic asparagus and softened some couscous to accompany the main course:
I think it's been this way for over a year now.... Strike is pretty ridiculous, they also only give you account statements by the month which makes taxes a nightmare; apparently you can "request" a yearly statement by emailing support, ridiculous they do it that way though.
Strike doesn't allow you to receive BTC and it remain in BTC. When you request it will generate a lightning invoice for the amount in dollars converted to sats, that amount will then be auto-converted to dollars upon receipt. You can send L1 sats out from BTC balance but not receive L1 or lightning funds and have them remain as sats. You can however go buy sats with the $ received over lightning and converted.

And if you’re wrong?
The problem is there’s not a non-custodial solution for lighting wallets. Muun uses submarine swaps which incur on-chain activity which will become more expensive with time. Even with lightning you still need to rebalance channels and add/remove liquidity which happens via L1
We will see, currently a bear market and not much usage before ordinals; I’m skeptical that fees will remain low as more non-transactional data fills the mempool.
100% going to be a fork war, and I’ll be on the P2P electronic cash side. I got into bitcoin to enable financial freedom for people everywhere and to bank the unbanked. Not to subsidize monkey jpegs on the blockchain forever so some VC can get rich. 3rd world users are going to get priced off main chain before the technology is ready to support non-custodial lightning. Fucking disaster unfolding in real time.
