There's definitely going to be issues. They won't go down without a fight and by fight, of course, I mean taking every chance to rob is blind of our time and/or our stacks. Gotta keep promoting best practices.
I need to install BTCpay server on namecheap hosting. Should be simple, right? Don't need the e-commerce plug ins, just need the server software running.

I agree it's optimal to have people clean their stack before saving/spending and needs to be encouraged to keep things moving but in the fullness of time exchanges won't be a big deal anyway as most bitcoin will be exchanged between people for goods/services instead of for or from fiat and best of luck to them trying to track all of that
I've just posted comments reg the old Open Bazaar.. any way that could be dusted off?
Are any of the guys who made Open Bazaar on #nostr?

Shame to see arguing on this thread. Besides, turning your kyc stack in to a non kyc stack is fairly trivial these days with liquid and lightning offering simple ways through.
If you make me laugh, achieve something, share art or music, provide and build apps and run relays, I enjoy sending you zaps. It's worth the small token of appreciation. Tried explaining it to my FBncrowdbtoday but they never listen to me anyway πβ‘π€
I miss the days of the #OpenBazaar project, they built a solid groundwork for a decentralised marketplace, but couldn't do everything and ended up closing down.
I wonder if nostr would have been able to assist in decentralising some of the things they had to keep running on their own servers.
It'd be great to see that project dusted off and integrated with #Nostr now.
Perfect while I sit here and the sun moves ever lower and the water turns to head out and the BBQs are burning on the beach and life is ideal for a bit ππΆπ΅
Good question - loving stacker news for the old school forum feel
Sitting quietly out on the water now I can totally relate. Lovely quote.
Its a warm clear calm day with the slightest breeze. The tides coming in, there's fish swimming in the water, beautiful women wandering along the beach, I have music, coffee and food.
Beautiful day.
Always grateful when the come along.
I can believe that - written language will become interspersed with the modern equivalent of hieroglyphs and be largely indesipherable in millennia to come
I never liked the way it felt like he left little room for my imagination to run wild, I enjoyed reading but I found his work to be a slog, no matter the format. Like I say, of course, I can appreciate the quality of it, despite never enjoying it. And the movies are brilliant - about the first time I ever really enjoyed his work, yet even they feel like a slog lol π
I never enjoyed reading Tolkien. That doesn't prevent me from respecting his writing though.
For me, his use of language seemed excessively verbose, the books could have been written with 1/10 of the words.
However, I do love books from the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s.
You can see how the language evolved over time, how beautiful and descriptive it was.
By the 1950s our language began to go into decline, just like our culture.
Tolkien was like a last gasp of beauty, a memory of a time when our language matched our ambitions...
Now, if our discourse is to be any kind of measure of our ambitions, we are sadly lacking.
I know enough millennials and Gen X that were this brain-dead. It's not just gen z.
Unfortunately it might be worse for them because parents were too busy watching crap on mobiles and teachers they were dumped on were militant communists, so...
