Just sent #monero via TailsOS using featherwallet.org.
It just works. .Not much of a need to change what's not broken.
#XMR
That's all I ever here from you. All day everyday. Now get outside and do your daily KB swings.
I'm off for some barefoot GoRucking.
Such silly DC nonsense on Twatter/X
Currently, there is more BTC wrapped on Ethereum than the combined liquidity of Lightning, Liquid & RSK.
But we don't want #Bitcoin to gain any of this money because we're self-righteous.
Everyone calling bip300 a scam factory“ you can scam on L1 L2 LN RGB and all sidechains.
Lazer eyes would rather lose the fight for Bitcoin adoption to be "right" and win a twitter argument.
In response to CZs stupid tweet about Bitcoin vs Cash.
Does CZ even realise that the IRS has set bounties in the last few years for cracking #monero? AFAIK no three letter agency has ever posted bounties to crack #bitcoin as it poses no threat to the system. It's transparent by design.
Choose your weapon wisely as you never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Welcome to #nostr
Nowhere for you to hide anymore. This is going to be fun :)
Yes, referring to "rugged" and indeed "Bitcoin Cult Bubble" and the cringe-worthy "Hyperbitcoinization" is in itself feeding the dogmatic approach to bitcoin and encourages Maxis to use Bitcoin as their identity rather than a technology. I guess we are both guilty as charged with furthering their cause in that regard.
Bitcoin has always been an opt in tech and people are free to adopt and use it however they like. If people want to use WoS then they are free to do so but WoS is not extraordinary I'm not saying Daniel Alexiuc will indeed steal funds. I had personal conversations with him when I was paying my energy bills in Melbourne back in 2016 via his earlier enterprise Living Room of Satoshi. He's a great guy but the fact remains that having such a widely adopted lightning app that is fully custodial could do a lot of damage in the mind of the laggards if it goes pop.
Maybe i'm not looking to solve global adoption problems like yourself but I'd push back on your statement that I'm in this for only my own ends. I have a beautiful family, a very close knit community and are all bitcoin savers and spenders. We use Monero when we want privacy, we mine on both networks even though we're now based in the UK, (yes it is possible) and do our part in progressing adoption in our own way. That may not be to your high standards but we are all different, with very opposite life experiences and pursuits.
Consumer Bitcoin in a few years will be people buying a bitcoin ETF on e-toro. Sad but much higher probability that a nation of WoS users.
As long as people know that WoS can rug them at any time for any reason then caveat emptor. As old as time, you get your hand burnt on the stove a couple of times and then look for more secure methods of spending bitcoin.
What's wrong with Phoenix (now with splicing) connected to your own electrum? UX is on par with WoS and if they do choose to not service you at any time in the future you can easily move funds on chain. Best of both worlds imo.
Never thought Barry would come to the rescue. #bitcoin spot ETF looking like it's got one fat foot though the door and this time its wearing a steel toe-capped boot.
#bitcoin privacy advocates will be in disbelief after the tornado cash devs get life sentences with no actual evidence of wrongdoing.
Fuck about and find out? Nope. I'll stick to #monero
Bip 300 ends 90% of the dogmatic maxi rule in bitcoin. Base layer would remain unchanged. Inscriptions would feel like second hand tech compared to what would be easily achievable on DC. NVK would most likely have a heart attack which would suck as he makes the best #bitcoin hardware on the market but this tradeoff might just be worth not having to listen to him.
The only reason I can some up with iis to get people buying a replacement a few days before as they end up wasting the last 5% throwing away the bottle before it's fully exhausted. If everyone buys one more bottle every 12 months that's a free lunch for the manufacturer.
I base this on nothing but the urban myth someone told me as a kid. Apparently someone approached Colgate in the 80s and told them for a fee they would increase their profit margin by overnight. The proposal was simply making tubes with hole 20% bigger.
I don't usually listen to anyone with "entrepreneur" as a title but someone scraped this from an account I know. So many resonating points with me. Maybe someone on #nostr will find it useful. Point 4 I have been saying to my teenage kids most weeks. Here goes:
I spent three days with a group of multimillionaire entrepreneurs in Montana.
10 key learnings (that everyone needs to hear):
1. Freedom is the real goal. Once you’ve achieved a certain level of financial success, everything becomes about a quest for freedom. Being able to do what you want, when you want, with who you want is what everyone prizes above all else, but few have it.
2. Success isn’t loud. The most successful entrepreneur at the event has built a holding company that will be worth over $1 billion. He wasn’t the loudest in the room. On the contrary, he was quiet and highly observant. When he did speak, it was with an incredible ability to penetrate to the heart of the topic or issue. Listening, observing, and thinking is a superpower.
3. Insecurity is a natural human condition. These entrepreneurs have built incredible companies and personal wealth, but all open up privately about their personal and professional insecurities. The feeling that we may get exposed as an imposter is natural. Opening up about those insecurities, rather than trying to mask them with bravado, is the key to managing their influence on our lives.
4. Always know the game you’re playing and whether you want the prize for winning that game.
5. If you create value with no expectation of return, you will experience the greatest returns.
6. Owned distribution is a cheat code. All of the entrepreneurs realize what a massive business advantage it is to own your distribution via a personal platform and audience. They are building it into the fabric of their businesses. Everyone views it as a cheat code—a way to do business on easy mode.
7. Environment is EVERYTHING. It’s hard to explain, but thinking big is contagious. Just sitting in the room, the energy gets injected into your veins. Note to self: Get in more of these rooms. Another note to self: Create more of these rooms where others can benefit from them the way I have.
8. No one knows what they want to be when they grow up. The group ranged in age from 30 to 60, but no one seemed to have everything about their future figured out. It’s comforting as a young person to know that you aren’t really supposed to “figure it out” when it comes to your future. Just focus on pointing your compass in the right direction, embracing curiosity, getting around great people, and good things will happen.
9. Entrepreneurial loneliness is a real problem. You don’t have to do it alone. Most of these entrepreneurs had built support systems to make sure they had people around them.
10. Sometimes you need to see the problem differently to solve it. I had several “a-ha!” moments around some problems I was facing during the retreat. All of the solutions felt very obvious in hindsight. The different perspectives allowed me to see the problem differently and break through.
Yay or nay on this extra button to change currency units on the Amount Input component?

Yes please
Initial channel opening is 50k sats minimum. Plus you'll pay the on-chain miner fees. 90k sat limit and I need to open another channel so constant fees compared to splicing via Phoenix won't see me use it for any heavy lifting just yet.
Works fantastic for spends and receive. Running it on a Linux browser and no issues. Not set up any extras except a decent password ans back up.
Mostly interested in the DLCs but it's not available yet.
Connecting it to nostr this weekend to replace Alby for some testing. Hope to update next week.
That's all I got.
Oh almost forgot. Fuck WoS

#monero marketing dept killing at the moment. In light of the tornado cash arrests #bitcoin maxis as usual are in their ivory tower saying how private lightning is. If tornado loses this case, then privacy on Bitcoin looks like it's next in the firing line. Unless you're using cucked Wasabi in which case i'm sure you're totally fine :/
Will the Machine Elves also be kicking my door down?
Stop smoking DMT and come back to reality.
Off to inscribe some more monkey pegs
🥳
