I tried to pay with Lightning in a restaurant for the first time. Big disappointment.

The PoS had such a shitty screen that it was literally impossible to scan the fucking QR code.

Me and my friends spent 30 minutes trying with different phones and QR scanning apps without success.

There was no QR alternative (no NFC for instance). It also didn't support on-chain bitcoin (which would produce a smaller and perhaps readable QR).

In the end we gave up and I just paid with cash. The restaurant owner kept apologizing.

My friends and wife kept trolling me later with "See, I knew this bitcoin thing would never work!" 😂

I prefer if money follows me

there's a special place in hell reserved for reddit mods

Bitcoin trivia, guess who said

> If you want privacy, don't use my fucking app

So instead of 100k before the halving, we go to 50k shortly after and to top it off, we might all be arrested. Got it 👍

No thanks, need to see grandchildren first

If Ross had nostt account, it would quickly gain popularity, get noticed and they would make him stop. It does not matter how censorship resistant the network is if they can just forbid him.

Even north korean dissidents don't have to pay NK taxes after they leave.

He could do that on any other social media, even twitter with a different account. I don't think there's anything about nostr that help a man deprived of his basic freedoms.

It would kinda be a self own to the DoJ: to provide freedom tech created by someone they wrongly arrested and committed suicide 😅
