What about horrendous quality png's?

It's very true.

I dig that knife.

I like to do 23/1 at least 1x per week plus 16/8 everyday, for 3 years.

Works for me.

Ah! Gotcha. That makes more sense.

LN is amazing, but has a long way to go.

Lol. Could be because the economy hasn't grown in 4 years and all GDP increases have been government spending and stimulus, prices are increasing faster and far beyond real wages, layoffs are increasing, labor participation rate is lower than 2019, housing is unaffordable, commercial bankruptcies are at a 6 year high. Not sure though. 😂

Jesus, where do you live? My nightmares?

Ah, that's so nice of them.

Not really.

You just went off about some other shitcoin they isn't related to LN, Bitcoin, etc...

You can't be opening channels Everytime you want with someone to make a payment offline. If they aren't online, you can't make a paymentnto then or open a channel.

It seems creating something totally is what you are looking for.

That's all good, but you mentioned offline payments and ideas for LN, and I explained the issues with that.

I find it interesting that right as the 5th circuit is hearing a case on the NFA and suppressors, that this happened and the guy used not only a 3d printed gun, but a surpressor.

Ouch.

updated android. still cannot click on a note orore or a username/pic to load the note when viewing feeds.

Who cares? The current Bitcoin is as the mix of economic interests, users, node runners, and miners agree on.

Holy hell have you left the conversation. And you started it.

Try and focus a bit and maybe we can discuss your actual topic at hand.

Thomas Massie has an end the fed bill. But it’s all show.

Because they can’t. Without the fed, the entire government and global economy gets destroyed.

I’m all for it, but the dems and gop are frauds.

2 things on cashu. It is self custodial sort of and sort of not, but you have to trust the issuing mint operator to be honest.

It isn't linked to dollars. Sats and LN are the native currency for 'exchanging' for cashu tokens. Send sats, get tokens.

This isn't a Bitcoin block convo, it's a LN offline payments one.

In nostr, here is always trust. Fairly big. That's the issue. You trust the relay operators. For notes in 99% of all notes, not a big deal.

For real money, larger sums, a mortgage payment, whatever, it could be a massive deal and that trust needs to be minimized.

Having a 3rd party server doesn't really help, they could always shutdown or not pass on the store, etc...

Just spit balling issues here. I have NO idea how to solve the node issue. my main lightning node has zero issues, plenty of liquidity, and requires very minimal maintenance and occasional rebalancing. But I'm pretty even on them anyways, so I don't see it as a big deal.

Perhaps the answer is a few levels. Trustless(minimized) by own node online, trusting a 3rd party server for passing on when online(block stream has this), self controlled hosted LN, and of course fully custodial.

It's silly to think everyone will run a node, as well as that everyone will or should be custodial.

Well duh. He can't. There is no mechanism in the Federal Reserve Act or further acts de detailing their powers. Not sure why it is even in the news and being asked of Trump and Powell.

desktop only? android I can't do anything other than see the home feed. no login, settings, etc ...

Holy hell did you miss the point.

I made up a number for simplicty.

I could have same 1 million sats. or 100k.
