If we only vote harder, they might let this go /s.

Act accordingly.

I dare you to find someone who called a spade a spade before me in terms of Saylor. #Bitcoin

Tipping features I've seen on Twitch:

- Put a message on the screen (as JB mentioned)

- Request to play a youtube video (longer videos cost more)

- Tip to decide what a streamer should do in a game

- Tip to get the streamer to play a certain game

- Tip to be number one tipper (people seem to care very much about this on some Twitch streams)

- Tip to get artist or musician to sing/play certain songs

- Tip to feed the god damn chickens (already done for a long time with BTC and LN)

There are probably many other tipping activities I'm forgetting. If tipping/donations doesn't work on your platform, you're doing it wrong (or don't have the correct, or enough, users/audience).

While we have strong disagreements, I must admit I respect Roger Ver's conviction in sticking to his ideals.

For example, we now know he sold a ton of his Bitcoin around the time of the fork, presumably to buy Bitcoin Cash.

However, it seems that the same conviction that led to him becoming Bitcoin Jesus and a billionaire has also led to a lot of suffering these past years.

I hope Roger finds peace.

There is nothing worse than a man with no principles. Props to Erik for at least following his own principles.

It’s hard to believe that the vast majority of people have no idea how fast and how hard nostr will change the world

This must be the feeling 2010-bitcoiners must have felt

envisioning a future of a Signal-grade private social network, where you have local llms privately translating, summarizing, and building algos of your feed. It’s not far off, we have the technology today. damn this is cool and cyberpunk af.

I'm quite bullish on Bitcoin scaling tech and privacy tech.

Fee spikes are incentives to build more scaling solutions and to use the ones that have been built. Without fee spikes or the mindfulness that fee spikes can materialize at any time, there is no significant demand to build them or use them.

It's painful when it happens but it's necessary to grow. And stress tests help ensure that you are building the tech correctly rather than relying on shortcuts that only work temporarily.

Same thing for privacy solutions. Privacy tech has to be like a hydra; if one head gets cut off then it grows more. Privacy solutions behind every blade of grass.

TIL mullvad uses shadowsocks: same tech that chinese users use to get around vpn blocking/DPI on the great firewall of china.

It enables this when it detects that a firewall is blocking wireguard. Damn thats cool. I am liking this company.

Testing out Primal

How to verify that?
