So I know I JUST posted a link to https://bitcoinfax.net/ but although the price shows. 20 cents for one page, someone who tried it alerted me it's showing alot more at checkout. Perhaps there is a minimum? Idk.
Ooo. My bad I'm sorry about that. Not sure what that's about. Maybe they have a minimum or something.
Most European countries are pretty cheap. What country are you looking for?
Interesting. So selling a fax without kyc-ing a customer is illegal?
Is selling a phone card that allows you to make a phone call without kyc-ing the caller illegal?
Saw This on Stacker News. Upload a pdf, pay with Lightning and send, without signing up or needing to reveal your email address like email to fax services.
Thanks. Every now and then this is brought up. Client devs aren't as fond of this idea as others are for some reason, I'm not sure why.
Not sure if it's that Bitcoiner 'life shouldn't be easy, there should be consequences for messing up. We shouldn't just round off the sharp corners of the world"-type thinking.
Last time I saw this up to Vitor he said something to the effect of "When you post a nsec on Amethyst, it already becomes an npub automatically." (Its a joke) Which IS funny, but....
a great thing about Nostr is because so many clients are competing, someone will make a client with not just Bitcoiners in mind.
I think that all clients (to be more "normie-friendly') should do a thing where if someone accidentally posts their nsec it just posts a bunch of xxxxxxx's or something.
Bitcoiners are (in general) good at private key management, but, its a good way of removing a foot-gun to help with more mainstream adoption. If they really wanna post their nsec, maybe if they throw a space in there, it won't get recognized for example:
"ns ec1ae46...
Ok, TLDR, a bug was found in inscriptions-land around inscriptions 420,285 and around 1200 inscriptions did get added. Soooo, they are trying to figure out what to do to squeeze them in, changing other people's inscriptions numbers, when some people had 'significant numbers' or whatever.
The humorous part is that I find these people culturally different than reading through the Bitcoin devs maiking list to see them dealing with a bug.
For example:
Saw this on Twitter. Pretty cool, right? (Coinjoin implementation using Nostr as a plug in for electrum wallet)
Yo, I just started getting bots again. I have a theory he will purposefully bring them back for people that don't pay. 'Enshittification' it's called by Cory Doctorow, who has a Substack he can no longer link to.
Question. Since DCG owns Foundry, can't they sell some of their facilities because Barry owes everyone so much damn money?
It would solve two problems at once. As long as they are Foundry facilities, they are gonna be part of the Foundry mining pool (which is too big) would be great if that pool was smaller. (And if his creditors get paid back. $3 billion, including $900 million from Gemini Earn.)
Yeah, the way I see it is there is no pro-freedom state, or pro-freedom major political party. You always have to pull parts you like from different groups or areas. Just really thought the miners were safe there.
I wonder if the bill passes through state legislation if the governor can veto it. Abott has been quite in favor of the mining industry.
Uh oh. Bottom isn't in yet.
Good. Do you live in Texas?
I am pumped about this. Really. I feel like it could be more like Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace but decentralized. And thennnn there coukd be sketchier marketplaces.
However, I'm worried about obtaining Bitcoin. Like most people get Bitcoin from regulated exchanges. If we all had to get them from Peer2peer ones, there isn't enough coins on there. squeeeeeze = Crazy prices whithin the US.
Also, a few states, Mississippi, Montana and as of yesterday, Arkansas have passed 'Right to Mine' bills. I guess similarly to Marijuana it could be illegal on the national level to mine and legal on the state level. Although I always felt the federal government tends to try to avoid this situation because it makes them appear weak.
It's kinda clear. For now, the US government (Executive Branch) is cracking down on cryptocurrency.
Unlike the SEC's Gary, who taught a Blockchain course at MIT, they do not make any distinction between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Actually, Bitcoin's censorship resistance compared to other cryptocurrencies' lack of such is just another reason to fear it.
Swan is debanked in Texas (TX is also facing trouble from an anti mining bill now that like 1/3 of the world's hashrate is there. Not really, but maybe 1/4, what gives TX)
Anyway, so how are we gonna buy? Peer2peer local Bitcoins-like sites? They are going to face a liquidity crisis and the US will be like Nigeria where we are paying wayyyy over 'normal' Bitcoin price.
