I still have one of these laying around in the house

The good old days 🤣🤣

Life is truly amazing 🤩

My pleasure & ?cid=2154d3d7z21ohv3tj5f0rxjm1hbufbhvwd6lqafv5rfzttnu&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Today I get to introduce my older brother to the Smoked Brisket Plate at Smokey Mare (they just smoked it last night 🤤).

Funny how things come full circle, since he is the use case that got me into #Bitcoin to begin with & now our meals will be paid for using it.

Should cost roughly about 71000 Sats for both meals combined, but it’s going to be worth every single Satoshi to see the look on his face when I make that purchase go through. ?cid=2154d3d7ijxh34y9tzwt4xdjaz2stf9jpbonjca3i0vzp90e&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

I’m definitely zapping someone 420 Sats at 4:20 today.

20th of April is gonna be a crazy zapping day too 😅

Laughs at my failures will get you followed back 😅

I failed at this today… but will get my push-ups & dips in tonight to make up for it 🫡 ?cid=2154d3d7lymg4loxon8bqhiyw6qye2tlvmdejrejygliipl7&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Wait… you guys had girlfriends? ?cid=2154d3d76dvtfio0k09qe0l06jb4y92a2jfbo02zcu6h9auu&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

"The higher fee is not because of spending more money, but because the transaction is more complex and larger in size – ​the fee is independent of the transaction's bitcoin value." - Bitcoin for Developers

"When the hardened private derivation function is used, the resulting child private key and chain code are completely different from what would result from the normal derivation function. The resulting "branch" of keys can be used to produce extended public keys that are not vulnerable, because the chain code they contain cannot be exploited to reveal any private keys.

In simple terms, if you want to use the convenience of an xpub to derive branches of public keys, without exposing yourself to the risk of a leaked chain code, you should derive it from a hardened parent key, rather than a normal (non-hardened) parent key. As a best practice, the level-1 children of the master keys are always derived through the hardened derivation, to prevent compromise of the master keys." - Bitcoin for Developers

That you did. Just zapped you for zapping me 😅⚡️

Showing my friends how Nostr works & then someone just sent me 500 Sats while they were looking at my screen 😅

That just proved my point faster so thanks to whoever sent those through 🥳

I love gaining knowledge... I do it religiously

"A common misconception about bitcoin is that bitcoin wallets contain bitcoin. In fact, the wallet contains only keys. The "coins" are recorded in the blockchain on the bitcoin network. Users control the coins on the network by signing transactions with the keys in their wallets. In a sense, a bitcoin wallet is a keychain.

Bitcoin wallets contain keys, not coins. Each user has a wallet containing keys. Wallets are really keychains containing pairs of private/public keys. Users sign transactions with the keys, thereby proving they own the transaction outputs (their coins). The coins are stored on the blockchain in the form of transaction outputs (often noted as vout or txout)." - Bitcoin for Developers #Bitcoin

Let me go do these pushups & dips to really get the day started 🦾

Got 96% in the Assessment for Unit 5 last night. Let’s see if I can do better with the Assessment for Unit 6 once I’m done with it later today. ?cid=2154d3d76hnravcpd95lohr3z0ijx15bmam1zhqg9pm673op&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

When you say “left to go” where are these Sats going & how do I make sure their destination is one of my Lightning Addresses? 🤓 ?cid=2154d3d7jd4qx3o6k0n40fnx5ria8e4y8rq2fdv3vvnr3iml&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Wanted to Zap ⚡️ you some Sats for this info but you don’t have them activated yet.

Oh, I think that’s in Unit 7 which I’m starting right after I finish up Unit 6. If my meetings don’t get in the way I might just be able to get to it today still 🤓
