Soon, I think? I plan to fund the node in a few days, but i am looking for a good Bitcoin wallet first :)

This is my only channel so far:

My 3k sats can confirm that - which are ALL received, my node is still technically unfunded. ^-^

Muun only pretends to use lightning. In reality each lightning payment triggers an on-chain swap. Ever since about February of this year BTC on-chain fees have been high. Muun is not doing well.

Good god o_o Im sorry to hear about this.

But, this is confirmation to me that staying self-sovereign was a good bet.

Still, thats basically twice my current stack, in fees. Holy moly o.o;

all great points but 1) we have to interact with existing systems using legacy addresses and 2) how do you verify the address is correct when it is completely abstracted away?

i think we should be abstracting away from the address as much as possible, in favour of qr codes or bip21 uris

the best UX i’ve seen thus far is a qr code that you can long press to get the uri with the amount and reason filled out.

actually showing the address (and showing it without the amount, blegh) feels like an anti-pattern to me

Is it just me, or is #boobstr growing? I see a few more adult content creators around now. I don't mind that at all, I just wonder where they are coming from o.o'

So what is the current consensus to split long bitcoin addresses for visual verification?

Chunks of 4 characters separated with spaces?

Any reason why?

Lots of people envision a future where you buy a robot assistant off the shelf and it just helps you around the house like Rosey on the Jetsons.

In actuality, that’ll be the expensive model. Most of us will end up with a base model you have to train. The annoying option. Let’s call him Ricky.

You come home from work and Ricky’s sitting on the couch watching videos of TI-84s and vaping WD-40 because you didn’t have time to train him.

You’re all mad because AI was supposed to be the cool new thing and instead, you got sucked into being a teacher with a deadbeat student laying around the house.

Eventually, you kick Ricky out because no one needs a robot that doesn’t know what to do.

You might be right 🤷🏻‍♀️ It just never ceaaes to amaze me how well that marketing strategy worked with all kinds of non-scammy people (in addition to the scammers, which are prevalent in associating themselves with bitcoin as well) 🙃

Can you still select, copy and paste?

Do you guys ever think that if bitcoin companies & moguls paid for marketing & scholarship programs it would be as popular as Ethereum is, which is inferior technology yet got positive brand recognition because a few billionaires paid more diverse groups beyond elite developers?
