Damn it never mind. It was Tor again. I forget Orbot is running...but, I was unable to zap when using Tor, if that's of any use to you.

It's a no-go for me. Amethyst on Android.

WE ARE REGULAR PARTYING PEOPLE FELLOW HUMANS. COME AND PARTY THE MONEY WITH US.

I was joking, too. 😂

If you ever need help from me, you need to get to a hospital for an MRI.

As an everyday pleb user, I see a payment channel as the equivalent of topping up a custodial wallet. Send BTC, lightning becomes available to spend, done. Except about 843 things that I don't understand or even know about can go wrong in that process and my sats are gone. I'm running a node, doing self-custody, etc., but I know that I'm one power blip away from losing those sats.

So yeah, I think I agree with you.

Hey, let me know if you still need help with those relay things.

BLINK TWICE IF THE FEDS ARE THERE

Ouch. 🤕

Spicy grandma is best grandma. He's missing out.

That's advanced technique for true professionals only.

I have major distrust for anyone grabbing a steering wheel, at the top, palm up, from the inside.

This just violates the intent of everything a steering wheel was meant to be.

I feel this way, but it's not what they say that gets me there. It's the zipping through parking lots while livestreaming on their phone.

Double your chances with the Tiny S19 case!

Ah I see now. Thought somebody did a new phone and got excited.

What's that last one? The dumbphone.

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx I LISTENED TO YOUR PODCAST AND I HAVE SOME CONCERNS RE: MINING. I WILL STATE THEM QUIETLY, THOUGH.

I'm playing devil's advocate for the normie bitcoin adopter here, so bear with me. If mining and node-running is good for Bitcoin, and I need to do it, what is my incentive? If I lottery mine on an $1100 8-ish TH node/miner, I will likely never get any sats or fiat. If I join a pool, I may get paid, but now I'm part of the problem. So I'm supposed to pay in fiat for the hardware, pay in fiat for the electricity, and never see a fiat return or trade the energy for sats. The normie bitcoiner then says GTFO, this is stupid, I'll just keep it all on the exchange or take my pants off for zaps.

How are we going to talk 10 million people into doing this? "For the good of the network" doesn't mean anything to someone who thinks Bitcoin comes from Coinbase. Lightning payouts will help, but who's doing that right now with no KYC, etc.? I do think the node/miner combo is the way, but only if the buyer sees KYC-free sats trickling in regularly. Bitaxe is another good entry point, but we're still basically selling a $150 donation to the network. That's a lot of buts.

LOL no.
