bitcoin and freedom. Lightning is a settlement layer. My opinions do not reflect anyone but myself.

What happened to ZBD Social, the first and only outbox-model-on-the-server Nostr semi-closed-but-actually-open social network platform: https://blog.zbd.gg/what-happened-to-zbd-social/ (I just found this post by chance).

I still think doing something like ZBD Social is a good idea if you want to inject some forms of social component into a closed platform. Much better than trying to create a social network from the complete zero. In the case of ZBD I think the biggest problem was that their service attracts spammers and low-quality people by its very nature, so that poisoned the social aspect of it way too much. Otherwise it would have been the first actual "relay community" of Nostr, writable from the inside, accessible from the outside, and automatically filtered to only have the posts from that community (that turned out to be a community of spammers).

Arguably an integration like ZBD Social was what minds.com should have done when they were interested in Nostr in 2022.

It is also similar to what Ditto should do (and what I thought Ditto was going to do).

ZBD's biggest flaw was focusing only on south america

Sure. I am a fan of LNHANCE.

I think getting rid of headaches like justice transactions is very important for Lightning integrity. I like the idea of non interactive channels where offline nodes can have third parties open channels on a node's behalf. I like payment pools and channel factories. The ability to pre-sign a channel open that broadcasts directly out of a shared UTXO at a certain condition can be extremely powerful. And I also like Vaults to a lesser extent, but can see how it is useful.

Everyone loved superman though.

Yeah I can see that. If given the choice between a beer and a nice latte I will choose the latte though. More bars should have coffee options imo

I am a very very casual drinker. I do enjoy the taste of a craft beer so when I have the opportunity with friends, I will generally get a nice craft ale or something. I don't like being drunk, and have never blacked out or gone off the deep end. Any hangovers have been extremely mild my whole life. I think I had one bad hangover once and that was a long time ago and I will never do it again. I do enjoy wine with steak, or a really well made old fashioned as well. A slight buzz is also enjoyable. Everyone has their own thing. I don't drink so I can have an excuse to be a weirdo though that seems odd to me.

I'm fine with it too but I'll do what I can to make sure Bitcoin is the best programmable money ever and for that we need more op codes pure and simple

criticism of anyone and anything is protect by first amendment so I doubt this is going to go anywhere. lip service

The way magma works is you basically put your offer out there, and shoppers that need inbound can choose you. After they choose you, you upload an invoice. The Amboss team then gives their own invoice to the buyer, they pay that invoice. Then you open the channel, once the channel is open Amboss then pays your invoice. They monitor the channel ID so you do not break the contract (for example going over a fee rate you promised not to, or closing the channel early). If you break your argreement you will get dinged on amboss reputation and people will less likely buy from you in the future. It's a fun way to get sats on the side if you're into lightning nodes.

My newest #lightningnetwork routing node is getting paid to open channels via amboss magma. Most recent lease is I provided 5mil sats of inbound in for 1280 sats per day for 30 days.

If new users of #nostr had the choose to zap in USD (through taproot assets protocol) would you all support that? You zap in sats, they see it at USD, because taproot assets has native in-protocol swaps. The sender sends whatever the sender wants, and the receiver receives whatever the receiver wants, all over lightning network payment rails.

he's just a retard that does stupid shit and lies all the time.

Being too lazy to run your own lightning node isn't a lightning problem it's a you problem.

I don't know what everyone is so afraid of. Deepseek is woke as fuck.

The biggest danger to #bitcoin right now is that there is too much hashrate in the US, and the current administration seems to want even more. How can we get other countries to mine?

I'd love to build a peer to peer exchange rate index using data from robosats, bisq, hodl hodl. don't think they have apis though. I should look into it.

when will the actual value of Bitcoin separate from the IOU value

I'll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. When opportunity knocks, you don't want to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony baloney church. Or synagogue.
