Well, I went to a #Dubai coffee shop today that DID accept #bitcoin… but no #lightning. Happy to support them, but did use fiat. Will try another one tomorrow.

Met with some amazing venture capital partners and clients out here.

Hope I can find a coffee shop in Dubai that will be able to give me a receipt denominated in Satoshi, accept lightning, and allow me to try to submit the receipt in China for reimbursement 🤑juvenile or dreamer, doesn’t matter to me.

Heading to Dubai for the week on a work trip. Any place worth visiting? Anyone accept bitcoin?

Yup! That’s how I got my start… and I still claim it’s the reason I’ve survived this long — paper wallets for the win.

I wish they would make a new version that supported a native segwit wallet. I think that may help some avoid higher fees, if I understand correctly?

I just tried sparrow for the first time and I’m in awe.

ACK

Luckily I’m not locked. Unluckily, I work in a country with no retirement plan offered at work. I either make my own retirement or I guess life is going to be more challenging.

I hold my own Bitcoin, but it’s the principal of the matter than my broker is censoring what I am allowed to purchase. I won’t support their views. I continue to own equities because I believe in the equity - not because my broker agrees with me.

Time to move all assets out of Vanguard. Fidelity seems like a reasonable alternative but open to hear ideas. Liquidating everything to #bitcoin… not quite there yet.

They ought to just suspend their twitter privileges. Disgraceful.

Thank you, SEC, for the last chance to buy Bitcoin under $45k 🙏

Good to be back in #HK

Glad I bought the dip #bitcoin

Good luck - it will happen… eventually :/

Yes, a few haha. Slowly showing people why Bitcoin is different. Still most are quite skeptical

As more bank employees ask me “what token should I buy” my answer has and will continue to be: Bitcoin. They still see what I buy as a speculative investment. For me, it’s just exiting fiat.

Seriously, could I subscribe to a premium version? For example, I’d like to fund a theoretical “find friends” feature where I can associate a GPS location and date time to my profile, and enable/disable if people can find me nearby. This could enable many new theoretical (and profitable…) client ideas around web3 dating, social networking, or more. I’d be open to advertising too for non-premium versions. nostr:note1l2s7wyqg5xz7ke6t20p03t9awk629utr6wxjjmg7k4cqr0eflrdql5p5ke

I’d like to use cointracking.info tax software to see all the derived public addresses of my CLN node. I have used this to find my xpub:

lightning-hsmtool dumponchaindescriptors ~/.lightning/bitcoin/hsm_secret

However, I see it is using a “m/0/0/*” derivative path when most wallet software expects “m/*” I believe?

Is there a way to convert my hsm_secret into a corresponding xpub (and ypub and zpub ) that is a more “standard” m/* derivative path? Eager to learn more.

I’ve been doing so, but I lack a stack of invite codes. I promise to use them wisely for the right people… would love to have a handful.

Tineye.com but perhaps there is a better one now?
