do whirlpool fees not track 1:1 with the mempool? came down significantly since last night, but won't go below 60 sats even when mempool shows it in the 40s

i've been looking to move into cold storage for days and can't bring myself to bite the bullet on these fees. really annoyed with all this fuckery. at the same time, if they're paying the fees and simply exploiting the system as it currently exists, i see it as legitimate, technically speaking. even if i disagree or don't personally see any economic value. value is subjective

excellent interview

took me 2 bulls to learn to stop trading. sh&ss is not just a catch phrase, it's sage advice

crazy 47 sats/vb seems cheap rn #mempool

👋🏻🤙🏻

it's like waiting in line for a ride that you really care about and then having a bunch of loud, obnoxious (ordinal) bros cut in front, not because they care about the ride, but just because they want a selfie at the top for social media. bad analogy, but the point being it's worse than just waiting in line

i do too. if electrum used bip39 i would just import the seed to the cc and leave it there, but they use some proprietary seed generation, so i think i want to move it eventually. think we'll ever see single digit fees again?

are you saying whatever value i lose with these crazy fees will be forgotten when #btc moons? or are you saying fees aren't coming down? i'm inclined to wait a bit. if it were on an exchange i would move it asap, but it's been on this electrum wallet for many years

it's not on an exchange. it's currently on an electrum wallet

just got my coldcard set up. do i try to wait for lower fees 🤞🏻or do i bite the bullet to move my btc there? it's fairly secure now on electrum w/ redundant encrypted backups of the seed. seems i may be waiting a long time though. thoughts?

i've been waiting / hoping family would approach me about #Bitcoin, but that period is over. everyone is getting cold cards for christmas and a little BTC incentive to get it set up. my present will come with a presentation...

same here. as soon as i turn orbot back on, zaps stop going through

solid advice

ok i'm gonna up my game. i like h&h but too much turns it too light / loses strength. i'll try a big ol hunk of kerrygold

i put coconut or mct oil in my coffee. 1/3 stick sounds like a lot. are we talking 12 oz mug? still tastes like coffee?

still wondering what that ones about, but the beat is nice. i like black snow

for whatever reason, i can't get the zeus app qr scanner to work on my phone, so this is my go to for mobile node access. i like it well enough, but i don't have anything to compare it to. zap definitely got the better name

spring is a great way to explore your options

any of your peers offline? i have a pretty big discrepancy btw RTL & thunderhub and i think it's because one of my channels is offline. i barely know what im doing tbh

my node is almost perfectly balanced, but the individual channels are almost all completely full or empty. is there anything wrong with leaving it like this, other than i won't be routing for others? 🤔

and why do you feel the need 'to be fair' with HRC?

i don't care who the target is and it's beyond creepy sounding. the rhetoric has leveled up

say reeducation camp w/o saying it

btw, i've heard RFK mention the fact his aunt started the special olympics in numerous interviews and every time i can't help but think of the shane gillis bit 😂

that book is fan tastic. you just reminded me of the audio book i downloaded. RFK jr's - American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family. specifically about hid dad & uncles political battles

here we go...

im running lineageOS, with no google play services and i can tell you no notifications on f-droid or play, but that would be the reason to use the play version

i think maybe no clients have implemented it yet 🤷🏻‍♂️

💪🏻

i love buyin dips that way

yeah that happened to me with the latest amethyst update. i think it was switching from fdroid to gp version. she just needs to plug her relays back in. annoying, but not a mystery. when your relays don't change, but following do, just a little, is the conundrum i'm facing
