I think Cashu.me does a pretty good job of this. However, if you just want to locally transfer ecash tokens from one wallet to another, clicking 'SEND' with no destination to specify doesn't feel very intuitive to me. It seems like the 'SEND' ecash function could be indistinguishable from a lighting wallet; but 'WITHDRAW' ecash needs to be its own function.
If you missed the HBO documentary, I'll save you the time. Most of it is about Bitcoin's history. Here's a part at the end claiming Peter Todd is Satoshi. The documentary outlining Bitcoin's history wasn't bad, but the reveal of nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm as Satoshi was dumb.
The 'investigation' was ridiculous. He basically rounded up a list of suspects and then forced himself to pick one - even after acknowledging early on that Satoshi could just be some anonymous cypherpunk with no trail to a real identity at all - necessarily excluding them from any possible list of suspects. The 'evidence' he found was just an exercise in anomaly hunting - resulting in confirmation bias.
"If you can't access information, if you don't hear dissent, if you're not free to speak your mind in a way that other people can hear it, only the Hillary Clinton's of the world are, then we live in a closed information system; and, in a closed information system, authoritarianism will prevail because there's nothing stopping it."
Totally. Everything else makes it clear what the deal is... they could have just left out the 'full control' fiction. It makes it seem like they're trying to pull one over on someone who doesn't necessarily know better (i.e. their target audience).
It seems it couldn't be mere coincidence that the $250K threshold matches the FDIC limit... maybe they have private insurance that's set up to match the same expectations as a fiat bank... or maybe they just figure that someone with more than $250K would be willing to pay more because they perceive it as better than the uninsured fiat alternative.
BTW, this just sounds like a lie (at least, it's grossly misleading):
"You have full control of your bitcoin (not a custodian)"
Sorry, having to rely on 2 entities other than yourself to sign any of your transactions can't reasonably be considered 'full' control.
"Obviously, the roads... the roads go without saying, don't they?"
at a $150/month service fee, I don't think it will be the way for too many.
The do love to quote mine.
It seems obvious that this same attitude has led supporters of the Democratic Party to spend so much effort attempting to demonize Trump as some sort of Hitler-esque figure. That is, they wouldn't even have to bother if their preferred alternatives had been at all inspirational.
It seems that would likely indicate a wave of previously undecided betters. Did everyone have the same calendar reminder set to 4 weeks before the election?
LOL! I never noticed you post the conversion before (maybe now I know why). TBH, I'd prefer you just stick to UTC (even though I live in the ET). It's just like deleting X: be the change you want to see. 😉
and there's something to be said for simplicity. We still make our futbol goals a nice even 24ft x 8ft. The rest of the world went crazy and decided to start making them 7.32m x 2.44m for some reason. 😉
We even use 'barrel' as a unit of measure of volume... and, that volume changes depending on the substance being measured... and, I'm pretty sure it's still the worldwide standard unit of measure for oil (because that's the way dollar hegemony wants it).
Not long ago, I placed my mug in the machine, started a brew, and headed to the bathroom while I waited. After a while, I could hear it still running longer than expected, and I then realized I forgot to change the brew size from the 50 oz pot the day before... and I was in no position to immediately rectify the situation... now THAT was a mess.
TBH, I wouldn't even bother trying to purple pill anyone who's anywhere close to being a normie. Nostr just isn't quite there yet. Would probably just be a turnoff and end up delaying their eventual adoption.
I keep my phone on DND with a whitelist of a select few exceptions. So, I don't even know when most people call until I get a silent notification after the fact.
