I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years and it’s great. Their Maps feature still sucks though… hard to compete with Google and Apple on that
I also use Damus, Primal, and various browser clients. I thought Primal (on iOS) forced you to use their own custodial wallet - did I get that wrong?
As long as you’re not drinking “flavored coffee”, everything is fair game
Has anyone done a write up on Fedimint (or similar) vs Liquid (or similar)?
Assuming no changes to L1 Bitcoin, what are the pros/cons?

Totally agree.
- Python and other open source dev communities (currently the biggest users of Mastadon)
- Activists or people generally living in oppressive environments
- Community applications for under developed areas
- Builders and tech innovators
- Shitcoiners? - unsure about this one 🤣
It’s one thing to request for better communication, or whatever else you’re asking for. It’s an entirely separate thing to say do this or else “very strong backlash, ruining everything”. That kind of rhetoric from strangers on the internet is concerning at a minimum, and could be interpreted as a threat.

Happy New Year Everyone!
I used Fountain as my primary pod app for a few months in ~early ‘23, but I switched back to a mainstream app due to performance and general bugginess. It also was often unusable while using my VPN.
I gather the recent major release fixed a lot of these issues? Is it time to try again?
Primal mobile app working fine 🤙
Cheers, happy new year to you!
I just push back on the idea of “100k sats” as a single measure of miner revenue.
Block subsidy (new issuance, or “production”) is an entirely separate revenue stream from tx fees. One is known and predictable, where the other is a determined by (volatile) market demand.
The cost of producing ~enough hashes (statistically) to find a block is not determined by either form of miner revenue. It is determined by real world hardware/energy/etc costs, and how many hashes competing miners are producing.
TLDR; successful miners do a ton of financial and risk modeling for all kinds of scenarios, and invest accordingly.
You earn more revenue when you mine a block, but that has nothing to do with the cost of mining it.
Is Elaine on Nostr?
Don’t understand this framing… miners’ cost to “produce” Bitcoin is completely unchanged by tx fees.
Their revenue and profit margins have certainly increased.
