Ya, I'll kick myself if I screw up a payment. I'm switching off the autopay just so I can pocket 1% of my mortgage back in sats via Fold!
First attempt at dry brining! We'll see tomorrow how it grills!
Yep, you were right on the money @npub1eq94yj8maree90pm53gfr76wdc44su3cwcqmly848xfrv6es6usqg4er58 . Just got off the phone. I have to pay on or after the "due date" (1st of the month) and have a 15-day window. Anything else would be considered an additional principle payment.
Everything added as a comment in the PR! LunaNode has a virtual desktop (access to a terminal window via the browser) but I couldn't get the "ubuntu" user logged in. Dunno why. Maybe it was too soon after the instance just spun up?
With a VPS you could probably do all the steps straight from a mobile phone and web UI...

🔥🔥 Recharged LunaNode via Lightning to spin up a virtual machine so I could try out @npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt 's REPRODUCIBLE BUILD steps for @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl !! 🔥🔥
Feeling pretty badass right now.
Working on a new @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl tool!
Run our exact mnemonic generation code from the command line to make it easier to test and verify our results vs other external tools. Makes it so much easier to play and learn and experiment!
What day should I arrive for @npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 this year? Def want to catch the BitDevs meetup the night before if that's happening again (would that be Tues PM or Wed PM?).
Anything else earlier in the week to consider @npub128a25achgxk429gwuwy7tgrwh44z5s42js2260cxdstk7tpxv9ds497erh @npub1akngghxzy6d75y8szp6y44u5pxktwy5aj6zh6jl3ncp8d93fj2fq5mfxa8 ?
I have a screenshot generator repo that has not yet been released as an official tool (it's currently blocked by dependencies on our multilanguage efforts which aren't finished either). I should prioritize revisiting it and getting it released.
Sunday AM @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl work:
A discussion prompted a closer look at our dice entropy docs. They definitely need updating.
🚨NON-PROGRAMMERS!!! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!! Update our dice entropy docs and submit a PR!🚨
Well… what if I set a low fee on Aug 1st and Ordinals pt2 start raging and my payment sits in the mempool past my grace period AND THEN gets purged as more txs pile in?
Yeah, I hate calling but I’ll call.
I first encountered this when my student loans came out of deferment. They said, “your first payment is due on X date” so I paid it ~2 weeks before what I thought was a deadline.
Later my account status was “You are past due and consequences, consequences…”.
Called them and learned that “due date” doesn’t mean “due date” but rather “pay just after date”. They waived the penalty with a stern warning that it would be the last time they would forgive this mistake.
At which point I was enraged again that they’d blame me for their terminology that a normal person would misunderstand.
Library books have a due date (return by)
Pregnant women have a due date (expected around)
Loan payments have a due date (pay AFTER)
“due date” is a f’n disaster of a term.
Okay. So as expected, to be safe I’ll have to wait until the 1st but then have a tight-ish window to make sure I get the payment in.
I guess I’ll also call to confirm. Would be nice if there was an option to only credit payments towards the next statement (no additional principle payments by default).
Dumb question: I want to pay my mortgage w/my Fold card.
Next due date is Aug 1st. My regular autopay would go out Aug 3rd.
WHEN do I make the manual payment?
I’ve had weirdness with loans before where a payment received BEFORE the due date is applied as an extra payment for the PRIOR period but then I would STILL owe the upcoming payment amount AFTER the due date. I don’t want the bank telling me I owe them a second mortgage payment.
tldr: “due date” really means “pay AFTER this date, but within 30 days.” Yes?
