because...there are none lol. You just didn't drop your pants when they asked, so the "yo" dude took your balls and ran off.

#Aqua wallet is not a real lightning wallet. It uses BOLTZ as backend to swap to liquid. If the app is not open when the payment is received, the payment will be stuck in a BOLTZ node for a few - 24 hours. It will eventually fail (and you will be able to issue a new invoice) or it will succeed and you will receive the payment. Either way, your funds are safe, but it's a hassle. Warn the newbies :)
#WOS #WalletofSatoshi is the way to go.
I mean NJ is pretty dirty already 🤷🏻♂️
My Experience with nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9
**TL;DR Strike is garbage.**
I started using Strike in the middle of March this year.
My first impression was that it was a great app. It had Lightning integrated, on-chain withdrawals were free, and the setup was pretty easy, even though I had to do a full KYC. After all, they are regulated and that is to be expected.
I began using Strike to send and receive BTC and buy gift cards directly within the app. I was pretty amazed at how easy everything worked. I loved the app. I even recommended it as an onboarding app for pre-coiner friends. Well, not anymore.
One day in May, about two months later, I wanted to send some BTC to an exchange or buy a gift card (which was basically all I did with the app in those previous two months). However, the app denied access to my BTC. All I got was a cartoon lightning bolt saying, “We need to review your account. Contact support.”
At first, I was shocked. I didn't have my life savings in the app, but it wasn’t a trivial amount of sats either. So, there it was, right in my face for the first time: Not your keys, not your coins. I got angry with myself and with Strike too.
I contacted support.
Support wrote that to comply with regulations, they needed additional information (remember, I already did full KYC), like a pay stub, signed employee agreement, or tax statement.
This was my response:
Hey, the Bitcoin with which I funded my Strike account are savings from the past. I don't work currently, and I also have no tax statement because I just moved to Brazil last year. What exactly is the problem? I didn't do anything illegal or wrong. I expect this issue to be resolved immediately or you will lose a customer. I already regret using your service. I'm very disappointed.
Yeah, I was really pissed because I couldn’t access my sats. They locked me out. Just like that.
Strike answered:
Dear User,
Upon careful review, we have determined that your account has engaged in prohibited use. We regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service.
At this time, your account has been permanently disabled. Please withdraw all remaining assets from your account within one week from receiving this message, and confirm with us when the withdrawal has been completed.

Best regards,
The Strike Team
Okay… So now Strike accused me of “prohibited use” of their app.
I asked them to be kind and specify what prohibited use I engaged in. Because obviously, I don’t want to get in trouble or do anything illegal.
Their answer:
This decision is based on an assessment of different qualifications. Our customer support team can only confirm that we sent this message and assist with technical issues only. Support cannot reverse this decision, nor can they share any more details related to this matter.
Thank you for that great answer. I can really see you care about your customers and their experience. But I guess at that point, I wasn’t their customer anymore anyway.
Still, I sent them another message and asked who I could talk to. If there was anybody who could clarify what I did wrong. Remember, all I did was send and receive BTC and buy gift cards.
Their answer? Well, they never answered again. Just like that. That was it.
After this beautiful experience, I posted about it on Nostr.
And guess what? nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle answered.
Woohooo!
He said I should send him a DM and he would happily look into the issue.
Cool! Now that’s what I call customer service.
So, I did. No answer.
I sent him another one. Again, no answer.
I sent another one or two. Still no answer.
This was 5 weeks ago.
I guess he is very busy.
What a joke Strike is.
Reminder: not your keys, not your coins. Also #Strike is a toy. Slick, pretty, for adults, but a toy and a distraction.

I can send you both :) DM

also can't zap you, and no errors
Excellent intel, thank you.
15'x15' room w/ cathedral ceiling, house is heated but an elderly person lives in this room and uses an electric heater for 18 hours per day, four months out of the year to supplement due to suboptimal heat zones.
Goal is to offset the cost of the electric heat. Spending 2k on a urlacher is not an option, breakeven would probably not be reached. Thinking this scenario is ~2 winters more.
Pics from the 'raine and a company name would be nice
OP mixes assessment with reporting here, and no sources. Also posts on FB which is so KYC. Seems a little strange.
Something is off. How can the air coming out be hotter, but the BTU/hr be lower, for the second one?
They have their math wrong. It's 3.14 BTU per watt. They divided instead of multiplied
Here are the correct #s:

#dmail will be the second notedeck app and will work on all platforms! It’s nice to have a fast, native, cross-platform base to build these on now.
Cool thing is that #notedeck apps share same local db: contacts, profiles, dms, accounts. You can’t really do this on the web because web apps are isolated from each other. Notedeck is offline first which is also great for mail.
notedeck will provide a high level api for building nostr apps, will be able to rapidly iterate on new apps faster than before.
If you want to help us build “the nostr browser”, come hack on it with us!

Interesting, haven't encountered this perspective before. I have always attributed the modding to the technology, to its being analog, not to FOSS. The Bible doesn't provide permission to freely modify or distribute derivatives of itself. People have done it, but basically against the terms of service (Deut 4:2, 12:32, Prov 30:5-6, Rev 22:18-19).
Are you speaking metaphorically? Or are you placing ideas in the category of software?
Smelting furnace. Easy fun and surprisingly useful.
