I found this old sticler in my sticker box. Check the date.

The real answer is 3 years 142 days (just under 3.5 years).

Nov 29, 2013 ($1,206.90) -> Apr 19, 2017 ($1,215.20) = 1237 days

I haven't done a comprehensive analysis to back this up, but that's what it looks like by manually looking at historical charts.

What would be really cool would be to do a full amazingly and account for inflation and/or compare to various stock markets (Dow, S&P, Nasdaq), or stocks (TSLA, NVDA, etc.)

Wait, no. That's not right. It says 16 Dec 17 was 1477 days since the ATH, but the price was $17,604.80. But if you look back over the past 4 years, it was hitting ATHs constantly.

Everything in this chat looks backwards. If it's going up to new highs, the line should be red (zero days since ATH), but it's purple on the way up and red on the way down.

The longest time between BTC ATHs was 4 years and 17 days.

That means everyone who held for that long has made a profit, even if the person who had literally the worst timing possible.

On the flip side, if you are going to need that money in less than 4 years, maybe don't tie it up in bitcoin.

I feel like we need a map of the free internet. No age verification, no government IDs, no centralized dictators who tell you "my way or the highway".

This isn't just about nostr or bitcoin. It's much bigger than that. It's decentralized e2e chat apps, free software, self-hosting, and more.

KYC not me is an outstanding resource. I'm imagining something like that but with a broader scope. Or maybe I should just contribute to that and make sure the internet archive has a copy in case it ever goes away. I suppose that's a good idea regardless.

I just made the worst chocolate chip cookies of my life.

I substituted in coconut flour for chickpea flour, but I made the mistake of doing it by weight instead of volume. They were way too dry and even adding some oil didn't save them.

⭐⭐Two stars. I'll eat them so they don't go bad.

If they scored any lower, I'd pitch them directly in the bin.

I feel like you should have inline skates or a skateboard with you in this set. 🫶

I am trying to do too msny things concurrently again.

Tomorrow I pause all of them in favor of helping a mate set some posts for an off-grid solar system.

If I can get this speted out, I might print some out on nice glossy paper.

I noticed the corners don't line up in your pictures, is that intentional?

Is your table the same distance in from the edge of the paper as mine?

I just got through the game "Payday". I can see why it ignighted an entire franchise that is still going stromg more than a decade later.

I started with the new one (Payday 3) and after enjoying that for a while, I decided to check out the previous two.

The original is crude. It's lile they were goimg along in the development process and said, yeah that seems good enough, ship it.

There's no story at all. Just a bunch of disconnected levels. There doesn't seem to be anyone in the world still playing online, so it's basically a single player game.

Also, it's a hard game even at "normal" difficulty. I was too subborn to turn it down to "easy" mode, but that might make more fun if you're just getting slaughtered. I didn't even try turning up the difficulty. I feel like that option is for people who have a (non-AI) team who pratices together, a lot. I appreciate it scaling up like this.

Overall, if you want to see what kicked off this craze, it's worth a few bucks. And it works flawlessly on Linux out of the box with Steam's compatibility layer. No tweaking any settings required.

Anyone here want to join the US military? I heard they're hiring.

Yeah, beef broth is dark, but I've never seen it THAT dark. And I don't know what would be darker broth than bovine.

How about some clues...

Is it an even toed ungulate?

That first one is perplexing and the second one looks like turkey

Even if I don't make the cormers line up, my middle column is always too small. Maybe I printed with the wrong margins (I used the default)?

My table is 1.75cm (11/16") in from the the edge of the paper.

BTC Postage bug report:

I. email isn't listed as a required field on the registration page, but it is.

II. When email is omitted, no errors are shown. It effectively refreshes the page leaving the user to wonder WTF just happened.

Not sure where to send this, but these should go into your issue tracker so they can get fixed.

Not sure where to send feedback for takemysats, but hopefully this message makes it to someone who can put these issues in the backlog.

A. pictures can't be uploaded then creating a store

B. After adding a product, it took me back to the products page which said I didn't have any products. It updated later, but it was alarming to appear as if it had post all my work (again)

C. When it did appear later, it said thenprice was 0 sats (I sure hope not!)

D. When adding images, you can drag pictures for the main image (good), but if you drag pictures for variants, it loses all changes and navigates to the file:// of the image.

E. My shop didn't show up on the front page with all the other shops

F. I can't view my product listing to make sure it shows up properly

G. Can't set up fixed-price shipping options without having a BTC postage API key.

H. Is the categories section supposed to be blank on the product creation page? If so, why not just remorlve this section until there's something there?

I did and I replied but now I don't see my reply, so maybe it was never actually sent (nor did it give me any error message stating that...)? Anyway, I'll try again now

No, not crumbly. I've had requests from others in my household for chewy apple ships instead of crispy ones, so I've been doing 3/8" instead of 1/4" or 1/8".

Side benefit: thicker slices means less work for me.

In fact, I'd be pretty keen in getting more people on the same marketplace. People like the Virginia Freedom Tech store who sells meshtastic nodes, make some axe miners, etc.

Because as a consumer, it's annoying to have to go to 10 different sites to buy 10 different items. A wide selection and easy comparison is a big reason why people love Amazon and Walmart. They also have bottom of the barrel prices, which we probably won't have, but we take internet money and I'm doing the best I can to lower my costs and thus prices.

On my mind: sm I a producer? Have I ever been?

In the past: I ran a sofware security practice. I provided services, but all the companies I helped produced software (and sometimes hardware).

Now: I contribute to many open source projects. I write scripts to make self-hosting easier and repeatable. I make open source hardware, but I don't play salesman, so most people don't know about it. I don't think that really counts without the sales pipeline. It's not making people's lives better if it mostly just sits on the shelf.

I feel like I need to partner with a salesperson who can tell people about the cool shit. Not people who don't care about open source tech, but self-hosters who want their life to be easier and/or more secure. Then we cold both go from non-producer to producer.

Oh they're ripe this time of year? I'll have to check ours out tomorrow!

Are you Y2Q compliant?

Will is happen by April 14, 2030?

Agreed. Most of the products I see posted are even more than the most expensive products in the store. Presumably people are willing to pay those prices more than once to try it.

I sell nostr:nprofile1qqsf3vs4hphtnaqg6ekqxg3vfkhuhetnrejt696dn6l292jm9rjvntcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc65awq5 devices for slightly less in Bitcoin than fiat, and that pays me far less than minimum wage. I'm not in it for profit though. I'm in it primarially because I want the devices and secondarially so other people can have nice things too.

I paid for my burger last night using nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skc34yxrm and a custodial wallet. It said it was custodial right at the top of the UI.

I am the custodian.

Payment worked on the first try. Much better experience than last month when I tried 4 times and finally ended up successfully paying with coinos via their web interface.

We have a class on stained glass coming up at my local Makerspace. Come visit Urbana, IL and learn how to do it. Seriously. I mean why not?

Wow, still no release date for Trixie!

That slogan on the DC license plates still cracks me up every time I see it

Part of me wants to track how many hours I am spending on building each of these #solar #meshtastic nodes, as that is very much part of the cost of producing them.

A bigger part of me doesn't want to know because it'll be depressingly expensive, even at minimum wage.

That article didn't explain the details of how it works, but a simple approach would be to encrypt the bitcoin privkey using the cardano pubkey (from person #1) & post it to the bitcoin blockchain.

Cardano person #1 then has the BTC privkey, can pass it to someone else and then they can move the coins.

I guess the ZK stuff is to prevent multiple people from having that BTC privkey. It'd be interesting to see the details on how they stop a race among the cardano users to move the coins. Presumably they achieve this...

People can build whatever they want. Bitcoin doesn't care.

If people want to use this BTC -> xBTC -> Cardano -> xBTC -> BTC thing, they should have the freedom to do so.

I don't, but hey, you do you. All that complexity doesn't stop me from zapping sats around.

Also, here's a link to the article without trackers: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoinos-completes-first-bridgeless-cross-chain-btc-transfer-between-bitcoin-and-cardano/
