Sounds like Bitcoin Fixes this.

Change "points" to "Sats"

Just imagine: "Dad, I got 1,100 Sats at school today for answering questions in class correctly!"

Blok’s Stack Strategy: How I use LN Markets to trade  daily to stack moar sats

BlokchainB

I was going to give LN Markets a try but I got a "Your country is not allowed to us LN Markets"  when trying to register.

It would appear to be by IP Address Range, as I was trying LNURL register.

Does anyone know what countries they are blocking?

This is an interesting strategy to pay the difference.  My concern would be if they will pay the difference forever into the future.

Long Live Dilbert.

Two questions:

- Is there any KYC?
- Is there any way to "earn" Sats other than being a degen?  Does LN Markets have a liquidity pool or lending that one can provide BTC to?

>Three Greek-managed oil tankers were hit by unidentified drones in the Black Sea on Tuesday as they were on their way to load crude at a terminal on Russia's coast, sources told Reuters.

>The attacks come as Kazakhstan's oil production, most of which is exported via the terminal, cratered in early January.

>It was not immediately clear who was behind Tuesday's strikes. Ukraine did not immediately comment. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which operates the terminal where the tankers were due to take on board cargoes, declined to comment on the attack.
