Maybe LSD or other hallucinogen. He's not looking well, heavy, flabby. Zuck would kick his ass if the fight were today.
Adding a BCH/other crypto tipping address field? That's what we need. LN is dead.
I sat down today after Nostrasia with nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz to talk about his needs as a creator and entrepreneur.
I will build the best possible product I can to make him and amazing creators like him very happy.
It won’t be about censorship-resistance, or about nostr or bitcoin.
It will leverage these as tools. As building constructs that fade into the background.
It will be about Max and the people the product serves.
Time to get serious.
But not other coins?
No, this is the way, you should inline more things. Use conditionals if you need to.
See my BCH address in my profile, thanks!

[bitcoin-dev] OP_Expire and Coinbase-Like Behavior: Making HTLCs Safer by Letting Transactions Expire Safely
tl;dr: this proposal would fix the recent lightning exploit Antoine found by making disabling the preimage branch of HTLCs once the timeout is reached.
Traditionally we've been dubious about making it possible for transactions to become invalid in the future. But in the post I argue that it is acceptable if we treat them similar to coinbase outputs, preventing outputs that may expire from being spent until they have 100 confirmations.
Big sunk cost fallacy vibes. Maybe instead go back and correct the early mistakes (raise block size, deprecate RBF).
Loss of funds isn't that big a deal? Y'all have really lost the plot. It never worked well and it isn't going to.
Anyway I don't need to convince anyone, those who want can gradually move to WBTC on a working chain. BTC chain will eventually die. When that happens WBTC gateways close and only WBTC will be spendable. So the token lives on and pow miners (and laser eyes) suffer the consequences of their mismanagement.
Ha crazy right? It's like I got lost from my tribe. It's a shame nostr is such an ln-specific system.
Anyway my point remains, ln is fucked. No surprise to me, Rube Goldberg machine is bound to fail. It never really worked and now this.
Sheri in here drinking the cool aid. I figured I'd give them a chance to wake up.
LN was always a science experiment. Can we move to WBTC on a high capacity chain now? I won't say which one I favor. We can phase out POW once the economic majority is locked in while keeping the scarcity.
I think we can also see now that POS works fine.
Balmer was an outlier even at the time. He sqandered so many good years of Microsoft potential.
Post a bond with a third party to be unmuted under some tos. Clients can use bond services' allow-list and report tos violations to them. Rule breakers lose their bonds. Clients can hide un-bonded content behind 'more nsfw...'
The libertarian solution, the Twitter solution. Make bonds big if necessary.
Have as many different safe zones as you like.
Doing well now, by today's standards. This all happened 100 years ago when you could not say that. In 100 years whatever is left of the middle-east will be "doing quite well" also. Well, maybe not, but the point remains.
Yes and this is probably what will happen with the Palestinians too. At least native Americans can now vote, they have first class citizenship at last. I think a lot of Palestinians would be happy with that and it makes sense. But Israel can never accept it. Always "two state solution."
Israel's response will be disproportionate and I fear the Palestinians will be decimated as the native Americans were.
I don't want to take credit for the question; it is Godfrey Bloom's whom I was citing.
I believe that in the long run, you can only give away for free what you can produce at virtually zero cost. FIAT, for example. However, if you do, it will very quickly lose its value.
Interestingly, you thought of UBI when reading his quote when, I believe, he had quite the opposite in mind. I think he intended to make an analogy that would help people understand how ridiculous and helpless it is to believe printing more money would make real-world problems disappear.
Let me share a related thought. I was recently reading "Principles of Economics" by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak. In the book, he spares no effort to describe real-life examples that make it easy for the reader to understand.
While reading his fascinating book, I asked myself how many readers would adjust their economic beliefs and behavior after reading. Would a convinced Keynesian buy the book? Would she make it past page 20? Or is it mainly the people already sold on or at least open to Austrian economic theories that invest the time to read the book to page 394? In other words: Do we still reach a critical mass of influential people? Do we still have a productive debate?
I don't know.
Yes, I was intentionally playing off the double meaning. Basic physical needs have been getting cheaper and cheaper. Such that the man develops more and more torturous beaurocracy to keep everyone fearful. With ubi it would be harder to exercise control.
„If you take Krugman at his word, why, one would have to ask him, if printing money is fundamentally a good thing ([…] that is the Keynesian view, which, of course, is absurd and non-sense […]) because it increases consumption, why would you leave it to a central bank or a commercial bank to do that for you? Why don’t they give us a machine that we can put in our attic or spare bedroom and print money when we need it as a family? It would be very popular.“ - Godfrey Bloom in TFTC -448 by nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy
You invented universal basic income. Let's do it.
It's not absurd, fed=Robin Hood. We're too productive to give jobs to everyone. Some must stay home. But we should care for them anyway, we have the technology.
You need alt coins too. usdc, eth, doge. bch (pearls)
