I stopped using Spotify like 2 months ago and now I’m all in Deezer 🫡

Spotify is a bullshit 👅

Also, as an irony, you have virtually unlimited, almost free electricity.

In a purely selfish way, you have oil wealth and now cobalt wealth, making you pretty much the richest country on the planet.

If you as a country started seriously mining Bitcoin, you'd be the ultimate triple threat and the rest of us would all be doomed to a life of poverty and servitude.

But, despite this, you are correct, Norway leads the world on almost every moral and sovereign front. If Norway bans mining, either directly or by stealth that would send incredibly bad signals to the rest of the world.

I wish you freedom and self sovereignty, from the UK.

Also, I want to move to Norway, seriously......

You a fed. Word on the street is that you a FED

Not cool of you are

The best life hack I introduced the last month is to practice Spanish with Duolingo everytime I take a shit. - Es el día 68 y contando.

Mierda que pasan, aprovéchalas. - „Shit happens, make the best out of it.“

Whoever wants to contribute to bitcoin is a "bitcoin dev"

Yes. Regardless, I think funding devs should be limited to defending devs.

Today, I got back to working on "askrene" for Core Lighting. The idea is to extract the core logic of the experimental "renepay" plug-in into an Oracle you can ask for routes (and provide feedback on what happened). This is much more composable: anyone can write a plugin which uses this information, *or* an alternate pathfinding plugin to replace it.

It's built around the idea of "layers" which are where information lives: you tell it what layers to use when you ask for a set of routes. This has many uses: you might have route hints or blinded paths you want (or have to!) use. You might want to constrain a payment to a particular channel for rebalancing, etc.

In theory, these layers can be exported and imported: you can share information about the state of the network between nodes. I'm sure there's a pile of obfuscation needed to preserve privacy in this case, but it's an interesting idea...
