Been cruising Twitter less and less for over a month now and it's been great. Much less wasted time.

Found these monies cleaning up a storage unit today. Sats put on paper wallet in 2015 and $8 that's been melting in a random bag pocket for a few years. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_3136245437320453381696196980.webp

Somebody's gotta be that guy, might as well be you. Know it's me. Boss took us to happy hour earlier in the week. Bartender had recently been to El Salvador but was not a Bitcoiner and did not use at all when there. After assuring him I didn't need anything from him and he didn't need anyone's permission he downloaded Wallet of Satoshi and I sent him his first sats and simply exclaimed "freedom money" when the transaction cleared on our screens.

Fellow Observer here 🫡 Got me some dirt in the southern end of the New valley of the sun. Hopefully above the tsunamis and with some good mountains to burrow into 😎

We pushed a release yesterday that should start to solve a lot of payment reliability problems. We've been working on this problem for months, trying to figure out what the problems were and what fixes it.

We're excited to share our research into that: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/fixing-payment-reliability/

We built our own internal platform for measuring payment success rates through a bunch of trail and error, with many configuration tweaks along the way. We store the results of that so that we may revisit what increased reliability.

If you have an interest in payments on LN or are building on LDK, we'd highly recommend you take a read and learn from many of the problems we've faced and how we've solved them. If we can be of any help to others, please reach out if you're seeing similar issues.

Please let us know if things improve. It's not going to eliminate payment failures by any means, but it should be greatly improved from where we've been at. We'll monitor things as we go and continue to make improvements now that we can quantify reliability.

Have been trying for a couple weeks to get sats on mutiny over to WOS for zaps and it has been failing. Knew y'all would get it dialed in. Just went through 🫡

To be fair, I would consider anyone who has some level of influence over any group of people an influencer.

- If you are able to influence anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand people, then you are able to influence a SMALL VILLAGE.

- If you are able to influence anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of people, then you are able to influence a SMALL TOWN.

- If you are able to influence anywhere from tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand people, then you are able to influence a SMALL CITY.

In Mimi's case, she is able to influence over 1 million people on her Instagram page alone. I know Mara in real life, and I can attest that when we go out, she is a POWERHOUSE. People flock to her; girls want to wear the clothes she wears, people want to travel to the places she visits, women listen to everything she says about skincare and beauty products. She might not be a bitcoin influencer YET, but she should certainly be considered influential, and she has the potential to bring her followers here.

- Goal 1 of mine: Use Nostr to show my girlfriends a real use cases of bitcoin (with ⚡️ zaps) with other people, because right now it’s just me going to dinner with the girls, asking them to pay, and then me paying them back in sats. It’s not the same as getting zapped everyday buy strangers. It is a process, but I am trying to help them realize the long-term value of these sat zaps. Teaching them that HODLing these zaps long term, will outweigh the quick returns from some BS IG #ad paid for by some BS company 🥵🤦‍♀️.

- Goal 2 of mine: Get my girlfriend’s off of IG and onto Nostr so we can keep growing

- Goal 3 of mine: When my girlfriend’s feel Nostr is a safe place and they are ready to bring their followers here, they will and we will grow Nostr even more.

If you don't like her telling you what she does (she is literally an influencer that brands want to work with. The cool thing about Mimi is that for a brand to work with her, she won't agree if she herself does not like them or their product.), what would you recommend she puts in her bio about what she does?

I think it would be awesome if Mimi ends up liking it here on Nostr and brings more of her followers here. I know she has the power to influence and bring more people here.

She can help us #growNostr 💜!

Trust me it’s a lot of work to bring non tech girls here right now, especially bringing them from IG 🤯 because they are comfortable there, a brand can pay an influencer anywhere from €1,000 - €15,000… + PER POST (it cost that brand more to run an add in some magazine where as on IG they can see their audiences reactions + statistics on each post so it’s worth it for them to pay an influencer a decent amount of $$$$$). HOWEVER, when my friends can grasp the 1sat/1dollar parity (I think say zaps will help this), I think they will feel it’s more valuable to be on #Nostr earning #sats (#HardMoney) for posting their work or just saying something that made someone laugh, than posting BS on IG where they are earning some BS inflated dollars. But this takes time and it won’t happen as fast as we all want it to happen if you scare girls away.

She can help us #growNostr 💜!

She will finish setting up her page tomorrow, but I realized we already did her IG post and by tomorrow it might expire from her stories by the time we finalize the last few things🫣 Sorry, my bad lol. I’m still perfecting my #PurplePill onboarding.

Ya, have to keep in shape and climbing constantly to maintain and progress past the upper 6 to lower 7's 5.11/12+. Have top roped sections of a 5.13b but couldn't stitch it all together 🤷🙃

Still way harder than most will ever pull down. Topped out at 7b (5.12a) when I used to climb back in my glory days 😜

What is money? Depends where you're standing. What's the value of a nail, screw or bolt? When you need one possibly impossible to quantify. It could be the difference between life and death.

I feel in a potential dystopian world that many stack gold for this box of "junk" will be far more valuable. After nearly 20 years in construction it's amazing how many random leftover fasteners I've collected. Constantly consolidating into random boxes and containers and sometimes sorted and organized better than this.

Might appear to be a useless box of metal but I see utility and condensed energy. In that dystopian future this metal will be far more valuable because of it's utility than a shiny rock that would make a terrible nail or spike.

So ya, I got sats and stacks of racks 🤑
