When someone tries to talk about crypto at a Bitcoin meetup
Even though this post is serious, it gives me an excellent to pull this meme out of the stash. 
Everyone should be trying to orange pill their farmer. If you don’t have a farmer find one who uses farming practices like those used here:
He’s literally me.

running lightning
I’ve found having a routine meal plan that I can have every day helps me a lot. Eating the same thing every day isn’t for everyone though so YMMV.
Great turnout at the first DMV Bitcoiners event!
I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but does anyone using Damus know how to react using something other than just the 🤙 emoji?
Phoenix wallet making a fire improvement for their self-custodial lightning wallet!

While you were making Bitcoin banks, Phoenix scripted out lightning channel management
While LND was making shitcoins on Bitcoin, Phoenix was implementing splicing
While you were making DNS addresses for lightning zaps, Phoenix was working on bolt 12
When the custodial rug pulls and rehypothecation comes, when the government attack strike down, when the lightning shitcoins lose speculative value, only Phoenix wallet users will be ready. For it spent its time improving the protocol

One of the few things that’s nice about living far too close to DC is that the Shenandoah Valley is close enough for a day trip. Had a great time with my wife in Staunton, VA and even spotted some BTC propaganda in the wild!

And when I tell friends and family about CBDCs and what they can and will do, they roll their eyes because "old conspiracy Jack is at it again".
This despite a 90% accuracy rate of what I said would happen in the last 20 years and them always coming to me for advice about money, business, etc. 🙄
This isn’t even saying the quiet part out loud. This is just the loud part, there is no quiet part anymore.

📣 Announcing SimpleX Server (https://simplex.chat/) for StartOS, now available on the Start9 Registry 📣
Brought to you by #[0] 👏
TLDR: SimpleX might be the most promising solution to simple, private, decentralized messaging yet!
So far, it does direct messages, group messages, calls, voice messages, and video calls, and everything is e2e-encrypted and can be self-hosted.
Like Nostr, SimpleX is neither P2P nor federated. It uses servers to relay messages. You define which server to use for receiving messages, and your contacts define which server to use for receiving messages. Every conversation is likely to use 2 different servers!
Servers are simple relays adhering to the SMP protocol; they do not store profiles, contacts, or groups, and they only retain messages until they are delivered to clients. Read about the SMP protocol here: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/blob/stable/protocol/simplex-messaging.md
SimpleX was designed with Tor servers in mind, and since servers do not connect to each other, there are no issues with interoperability: https://simplex.chat/docs/guide/privacy-security.html#using-tor

Awesome! Please enable ⚡️ though, building cool stuff deserves zaps.
It’s got a learning curve but for my money there’s no other product that takes security as seriously while still having flexibility.
I’m seeing it as just under an hour and 8 minutes. That may be because I already listened to it. 
You're assuming that the fines should be proportional to the wealth of the violator rather than proportional to the inconvenience caused by the violator as a result of the action being fined.
The question isn't how to make fines proportional to wealth, the question is how to make fines proportional to actual inconvenience caused rather than assessed arbitrarily by the state.
All you can do is try, some people insist on learning the hard way.
