Take_100 - You Already Own Nothing, Are You Happy?

Thank you si4

let's do something about that zap amount floor.

If time is money and you can input data at 2x speed information is on sale. 🤣

Thank you gentleman!

ass, grass or zaps. No-one rides for free. F.T.G.

Thank you sir.

sats for holidays: back in the paper wallet days i printed some out for nieces and nephews as bitcoin stocking stuffers. since then i've swept them to hardware cold wallets, all the while sliding more sats in every year. each year i help their parents get a little closer to legit self-custody without my involvement. started with me as the custodian.. end goal being a self sovereign extended family (with a nice starter stack). bitcoin uncle club!

vinney here (the "v" in "v cavallo" 😆) i have a fully self-hosted lightning address at my own domain - zap@lnbits.vinneycavallo.com - that i achieve with lnbits on a public vps and a tunnel to an umbrel node on my LAN. it is a pain in the ass but it **does** work and makes me happy. the externally-reachable vps is the key. dm me on nostr if you want more details!

@npub12rv5lskct… said "get in touch with me directly if you want to work on/with #cashu". 🙋‍♂️Hi, right here! I'm respecting his "don't Nostr DM me" profile note but wasn't able to find him in my Matrix client... I want to use trusted Cashu mints as a fundamental piece of an escrow system that backs a free market of bounties and work-for-hire (over Nostr, of course) I already have a minimally-viable relay implementation and a web client that handles the happy-path actions. I've integrated zaps for escrow payments and funds dispersal. Deeply-embedding Cashu mints into the escrow system will really take this idea where it needs to go. If you're ever available to share some thoughts on the design or provide some Cashu guidance I would be deeply appreciative @npub12rv5lskct… ! You know where to find me. Thanks! (If I don't respond to a DM it means I definitely didn't see or receive it. Tag me in a note in that case!)

"Oh yea, we're going to scale [Bitcoin] without shitcoins. That's for sure.". - @npub12rv5lskct… ♥️♥️♥️

This intro from @npub12rv5lskct… about art/code/creativity.... Wow. How did we end up with this guy? What a world.

I'm not picking a side here. I just want to clarify Mechanic's point as I understand it. A scammer just needs to get Granny to double-click on an application that does those things automatically. Fetch op return data from a block on the chain, does whatever parsing and chopping, and then runs it locally on her machine (stealing her credit card number or passwords or whatever arbitrary malicious malware activity). If the scammer hosted this malware on his own server, downloads would leave a paper trail that investigators could follow. Uploading the malware to any other public server would likely be blocked or filtered by whatever security and content restrictions that plarform has. his point is the Bitcoin blockchain becomes the least filtered, easiest place to upload that sort of thing. whether one sees this as a problem or not is up for debate, but I wanted the argument to at least be clear.

you asked how the bill pay thing works for me: i get "bank account and routing numbers" from Strike, where i have a bitcoin balance and zero USD. i put that "bank" account number in my credit card, mortgage, car payment, etc. - literally everywhere. so all my USD bills are paid from my bitcoin "checking account" balance in Strike. importantly, i have an auto-withdraw threshold on Strike where anything above that amount is moved to a (new) address in my cold storage automatically. so life is like: get paid in bitcoin; "checking account" balance stays in Strike for monthly expenses; excess above that is automatically hodled in cold storage. it's actually fairly mindblowing...

This was supposed to be a much bigger boost. I mis-tapped

npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx said "Twitter is a walled garden, so you can only post screenshots to Nostr". If **you** can see a tweet (or any other "private" content on the web) you can make a perfect web-archive of it. And then you can share it peer to peer in an uncensorable manner, removing all the internet's walled gardens - including paywalled ones. When someone else replays that archive in their browser, they're seeing the private page exactly as you did. The available tools for doing this are a bit clunky at the moment, but my team has built 95% of a frictionless user experience for doing just this. We'll be done with it within the year (or we'll be out of business). And Nostr provides all the rest of the infrastructure needed to make a proper network out of this. Extremely exciting!

To pay or not to pay... My credit card bills?

Thank you gentleman. This is a must listen.
