I want to think this is fine but I must admit that I raised an eyebrow when i saw this announcement.

Sadly zaps are only LNURL as far as I know.

Bolt12 for the win though!

Single use code if anyone wants to try paying to Bolt12:

No point for me, I never win the sats.

He was probably right 3 years ago but you can't force softforks by offering prize money to find a flaw with a softfork proposal.

#Bitcoin moves slowly and that's a good thing.

#Ethereum moves fast and has no identity and is slowly fading into obscurity.

I used to play some Nostr lottery but it seems nostr:nprofile1qqstl5fp5dmhx4209me73efyur3n0uals5ht2hxeve8zeyq4zncx8ecpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczg9qmf is gone. 😔

Sounds like they will offer direct spot trading but they don't say anything about customers being able to take custody.

Has, anything actually changed here? I've owned $FBTC in a Schwab account since the ETF was approved. It sounds like they are offering products that offer "cryptocurrency exposure" which they already did.

This sound promising for the future though: "Schwab plans to offer spot crypto trading after the regulatory environment changes. We anticipate that it will change, and we're getting ready for that eventuality."

Cake Wallet is pretty sweet.

The biggest drawback I see besides limited wallet support is that modifications are required to the electrum server and this isn’t well documented. I’ve run my own electrumx server for years but I’m unable to receive Silent Payments with it. It appears that Cake Wallet runs a modified version of Electrs which I had to connect to for Silent Payment receiving.

I just tried out Silent Payments on nostr:nprofile1qqs0cpan3knpzta7dn2wpyas2l976yyxjfc9rqt88uedt4qw4h4dfkgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qpaj73l. Pretty impressive!

This is a potential replacement for PayNyms / BIP-47. No notification transaction is required to start sending private payments.

Hopefully more wallets will start supporting Silent Payments because receive support is pretty limited at the moment.

I was able to read the article. It was pretty good and I think Nic probably draws the correct convolution. I don't think anything will come from it though.

Anyone have a way that I can read this without an account? I don't feel the need to create an account to read one article.

Agree, looks off to me.

There is now a full Linux terminal on Pixel devices. I highly recommend it!

Can you install a terminal app one of the Android devices and see if you can ping out to the internet (8.8.8.8 or similar). This sounds like DNS is getting messed with.

Do you do any whitelisting of MAC addresses? The mobile devices change their MAC addresses often.

Oh boy. If I was a shareholders I would sell if they moved forward with purchasing $SOL!

This chart will never get old.

Support for altcoins is fickle. The Unbanked guys seem to have completely moved on from Ethereum.

It's almost worth it to log back into X just to dunk on Ethereum influencers.

I can open a channel to you although that probably isn't going to be the silver bullet to get things moving. DM me your public key if you are interested.

If you live in the US they will send a 1099 to the IRS if you sell over $600 worth of stuff.

Was this a stelthy way of telling Jeremy that you won't support a softfork to enable OP_CTV?
