My new job is starting next week. And now I am in a bit of a pinch; there is much to do around my home and paperwork to finish. One last convention come this saturday, and this officially concludes my "fun time". The sunday after is basically sleep, make breakfast for tomorrow, and sleep more. That following monday I will be mining fiat. Though I am quite excited; it's an apprenticeship in software dev and system integration - exactly where I feel home between devOps and sysOps. :D

Maybe I can charter one of the old, broken servers and turn it into a mighty powerfull Nostr DVM in the future haha XD

Drivechains is a waste of time.

Let's go back to the beginning and let's focus on Bitcoin adoption.

Thanks.

Just keep a knife in the shower so you can slice the bottle open and scoop out the last bits with your fingers. Problem solved.

Proper shampoo and conditioner containers open from the bottom now. That way when they get low, the product pools near the opening while it is sitting there and still comes out easily, rather than the user having to struggle like a fool to get the remaining product out of a container with the opening on the top and the product pooled on the bottom.

So the fact that the vast majority of containers still open from the top seems idiotic to me. Why don’t they all open from the bottom, ever since someone figured out the right way to do this?

Anyway, I save these types of important posts for Nostr.

nah, too many conferences all happening at the same time 😅

one time this cute physical trainer at the gym got me doing calf raises to my absolute limit. the rest of the week i was walking like a cowboy and standing up slower than a centenarian 🤣

Of all the new exercises I started recently, standing calf raises are the most dangerous.

They're deceptively easy to do, then 2 days later you can barely walk and going down stairs becomes quite hazardous.

Breez doesn't get mentioned enough imo. Lower fees than phoenix, good routing never seems to fail, iOS and Android, optional Tor built in. Can run LN commands right in the client.

gm, good people. ☕️☀️

Can you imagine back in the day… working in a field with giant summer clouds and rainbows 🌈 above your head. No power lines no ugly tall houses in the way. Just an open sky with sun ☀️ shining through magnificent clouds. No worries about follower numbers, digital tracking, total surveillance. No left no right - just a lord leasing you land to harvest. You had nothing and you died young and happy. 😂

Lmfao🤣

What's narc?

Excellent point, to elaborate further i believe coinjoin makers get paid a tiny amount to join but throughput is dramatically limited. To coinjoin larger amounts you will have to pay commensurate with your time preference. Payjoin opportunistically obfuscates UTXOs at time of payment. It saves on fees compared to a standard payment + coinjoin and you can measure throughout by UTXOs joined rather than amount of sats. Payjoin is also harder to ID onchain due to coinjoin requirements for fixed denominations.

Please note: I'm referring to the more traditional coinjoin protocols. Wabisabi has a different model that I am less familiar with.

Not that there's anything wrong with that position but: payjoin does do something that other coinjoins aren't doing (today): creating additional obfuscation that nobody knows happened ("steganographic"). There are other reasons to do it, perhaps, but that's the main one: a different way to break blockchain analysis and make the history of your coins even more uncertain.

Also, while you may well be paid to take part in coinjoins, bear in mind that nothing is free (e.g. if you're using maker mode in joinmarket there are several limitations, especially if you *only* use maker mode).

It’s crazy how many people don’t know they can use Lightning Node Connect or Tailscale as an alternative to connecting remotely to their node over Tor
