AI in its current form is like a 19 year old with an internet connection. They’ve done a little reading so they think they know everything, and because of this they confidently share their ill-informed opinion with anyone who cares to listen, but if you scratch around even a little you realise they’re up to their back teeth in shite.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Have just loaded it up onto my umbrel. Smooth!
Sorry I have no experience with using Blockstream Green but I see there are a couple of videos on YouTube that show how to do it. Eg https://youtu.be/Jy64T6mcNPM?si=8HrucRwd21977uwI
Be greedy when others are fearful.

Which lightning wallet are you using?
There’s generally a global risk-off weighting at the moment, with Nikkei dipping 7% this morning and US markets yet to open. The fundamentals of BTC have not changed. Act accordingly.
I’m thinking it will test US$45k. If it does I’m backing the truck up.
I don’t use the primal wallet, only Zeus which is connected to my Lightning node.
Trump reminds me of that old Daniel Webster quote - “There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
He is in this for himself and himself alone, but don’t take my word for it. The vote at the voting booth means far less than how you spend your time and labour, so vote by stacking sats. If he’s telling the truth and makes good on every election promise, you win. If he’s lying, you win.
… and the size of the haystack changes every couple of weeks.
One set of rules for we, another set of rules for thee…
Yep the difficulty adjusts downwards until enough profitable miners come back into the network. In theory you can mine using a pencil and paper!
I guess I disagree that the market would price the KYC bitcoin higher than BTC classic. In my view the original promise of the protocol was P2P, ie to take out the middle man and return financial self-sovereignty to the individual. The more friction you add to that the lesser its utility, hence the lower its value.
You’ll also have difficulty forcing miners onto the new fork (mining capacity will just relocate outside of the US), while forcing nodes to run the forked core will be literally impossible.
Great turnout at Bitkiwi X in Christchurch this afternoon, where the room was treated to a panel of local legends discussing #bitcoin through a NZ lens. My first time attending a Bitkiwi event and the thing that struck me most was the broad demographic in the room. Yes, you had the old dudes and the code jockeys, but families too and everyone at different stages of their journey. Even Satoshi wouldn’t have predicted that the hardest form of money yet invented was also the most accessible. And the most resilient - while the rest of the banking world was reeling from the Crowdstrike outage, #lightning payments were merrily flying across the room for food, drink and merch. All thanks to the likes of Kiwilamb and Lightning Pay. Nice work nostr:npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu and team. Looking forward to the next one! nostr:npub17fd0kcnufx7lyu5dlvaw8rzrr2rahmwkqudmesxk7hfwnr2scmnszjc538 nostr:npub1hrctsg2qwu5gsp65gvj29968z460g0th755jq92c8uaz620lewmq6qk525 #proofofmahi

The Sun? You mean the same newspaper that just backed the Marxist Labour Party in the UK’s general election and has pictures of young ladies with their baps out on page 3? Say no more.
“Fluntrating” is my new word of the day. Must remember to use it in conversation more often. 😬
LOL the cojones on this guy…
