Hey, can someone remind me how to set up a bounty, when I post?
I've done it before, but now, looking in the options when I create a post, I don't see anything.
I see Forward Sats, I see Boost, but I don't see a way to create a bounty.
Here's the un-paywalled New York Times article referenced: https://archive.fo/wacCc
Just today I talked to a guy. His daughter does Ironman races, and a good friend of hers, who also raced, came down with heart problems after the jab, and could no longer compete.
Yes, seems like there's a whole world of alternatives like Cashu, liquid, federations, and so forth. I know I'm jumbling things up a bit, but I'm definitely at the beginner stage here.
And that's on top of other actual lightning wallets....
Stephan, I gotta say I love your podcast, you always the highest quality guests and information. I listen to all of them (except for the extremely technical, over my head stuff).
I think this is very probably it. For those scattered blocks where there are 3 sats/vByte transactions or even lower, there's a huge jump to the next category of fees, often something like 16 or so.
So it makes perfect sense that the big mining pools are including these, because these transactions are their own. But they won't include anyone else's transactions.
Hopefully Sunday morning (when fees are often low) it'll get pushed through. Otherwise I'll need to figure out the whole CPFP - child pays for parent idea. It looks really complicated.

I can see moving away eventually - even soon. But all the new options take time and energy to understand. I need to have a working wallet over the next couple months.
I can definitely see that I need to have multiple options in the near future though...

Ok, for the complete newbie doesn't use VPNs...what's the best vpn to use?

On WoS, it looks like you can SEND out, in the US, but you can't receive. You get a notice "region not supported".
I wonder, if after May 5th, or whenever it is that Phoenix is officially shutting down, they will also do this.
I was thinking of trying to use a VPN. I've received some advice to NOT do that, since lightning is kind of finicky anyway, and anything that adds complexity will cause problems.
Do you folks have thoughts on VPN with Phoenix? Honestly, I'd rather just stick with Phoenix, if I can.
I absolutely love this tool! Awesome work. I've been looking for something like this, account-less, pay with sats, looks really useful.
I'm newish to this area, but very interested, and it wasn't hard to use. It seems quite solid. I have a couple comments.

I would make the URL extremely clear. I think a lot of people, when they see PPQ.AI, don't think it's a link because it doesn't end in .com. Make it super clear, say something like 'Click here to go to https://ppq.ai/". When I first looked at your other stacker.news post, I didn't even see the url after looking for it, so I searched online for payperq, and it showed up.

At the main screen, "MODEL", - What is model really? It's not clear unless you know what you're doing. Why choose one over the other? Perhaps put in as an FAQ? For instance, is one of the models really politically correct, and the others less so? One is for creating images?
-
What are the chances that you can put some of the other models in here? Like for instance, Alex Epstein created https://energytalkingpoints.com/. I've heard that there's a model trained on his writings as a base, so you can ask a question, and get the answer that Alex Epstein would have given. Can you include these types of models?

You can create a bunch of New Chats (I wasn't quite sure what they were, so I did). But then you can't delete them. The garbage can, for delete, doesn't seem to work.
-
The edit for the new chat doesn't work right. I can edit the title, but then when I click away from it, it still says "new conversation". But then when I click on it again, it gives me the edited title.
-
In the FAQ you say "Can I give PayPerQ my own prompts?" Then you have some info there. Maybe make more clear about what the "prompt" is, and what the "question" is. Maybe define them separately. I'm new to this, and it's confusing. Seems like "prompt" is specific directions about the tone/guidelines about how you want it to answer (like "make it concise"), vs the actual question you're asking. But from what I've read, the word prompt usually refers to the question itself?
-
When creating a prompt, you have some text for "prompt content", with the "use {{}} to denote a variable". That's confusing. Maybe a have a link to "see examples" on a new page and give a bunch of good ones.
-
In a chat window that already has some text in it, it looks like it doesn't auto-scroll down so you can see what's being generated, as it's being written. The only clue that something is happening is that the "stop generating" button shows up. It's confusing, it should scroll so you can see that latest that's being generated, as it's being generated. (note - this does not appear to happen all the time. Just now I did another question, and it did show, as it was being generated. But then I created an image, and after the intial image, the new images didn't show until I scrolled down).

I did a bunch of queries, then clicked on Account Info. It shows "-44". So, I went over what I initially deposited, is that correct? You don't stop people from querying, once they have a negative account balance?
One more thing - I've enjoyed reading this substack - https://schooloftheunconformed.substack.com/. Lots of articles around dealing with the internet and still being a real human being. Here's a few of my favorites.
Ha ha - I knew I wanted to write on Stacker News about it, and honestly that helps!
But seriously - making the thing you want to avoid INCONVENIENT - that's how to do it. "This Is The Way" as DarthCoin would say.
But making the internet inconvenient is a little difficult, because it's getting more convenient all the time.
I wish there were tools like the phone launcher that I used (Slim Launcher) that could make it MUCH harder to access all but a few apps. But even with Slim Launcher, the regular phone apps are just a few clicks away, you just have to make those clicks.
Same with my laptop. Because of the snafu with my network settings getting overwritten, I had to just use airplane mode (which is just a mouse movement and 2 clicks to override).
That's why a little prep is needed. I'm going to figure out how to better restrict internet on my laptop. I'm planning on starting to use my graphene phone as my daily driver, and I think that has a lot more functionality in terms of separate profiles, to separate out different use cases.
Yeah, I'm going to try to get serious about doing partial-day digital detox. No internet, starting at noon. It really resets your mind, in a good way.
I bought a pixel 7a. But that's just because that's what (on the graphene site) was given as the best price/performance option.
Apparently MOST of the supposedly 100% olive oil out there is actually diluted with vegetable oils. It's apparently quite difficult to detect this.
