@k00b @ek I can’t zap on mobile. I clicked unlock wallets and then scanned my passphrase QR code but it just takes me back to unlock wallet prompt.

90 sats \ 8 replies \ @ek 18h

Mhhh, so you scan the passphrase, the text input gets filled with the words, then you click on save and it goes through but then it shows the 'unlock wallets' button again?

100 sats \ 7 replies \ @grayruby 18h

No I scanned it and it nothing populated. It reverted back to the unlock wallet prompt. I tried three times and it didn't work. Now I can't even view the passphrase anymore. Haha

Ok so how do I resolve my issue and get my mobile zapping? Do i need to detach wallet and then attach again?

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 15h

It should give you the option to reset the passphrase, but that will delete your sending wallets, so you will have to attach them again, yes

Welp... after at least a decade... I have orange pilled my extremely elderly parents.

I came to visit them and they bought me some Red Bull as they "don't want me to nap during my visit." I always give them cash for that because that shit is expensive, but I offered - for what must be the 1000th time - to send sats instead.

And guess what!?!

Even if we implement all wallet options, I'm not sure this is what anyone wants longterm. We either need:

one option, that's ubiquitous across wallets/implementations, for both send and receive, that's one click to configure (oauth for wallets)
- e.g. bolt12 (recv) + boltXX (for send)
every lightning app with a built-in self-custody/trustodial wallet (aka breez nodeless, greenlight, or spark)

Regardless of (1) or (2), the majority of apps with either:

go custodial and KYC
use ecash if they ever figure out a way to avoid shotgun KYCing and rugging people to death

None of this scales most likely (ie no one wants any of the above longterm either ... although (1) is the freest of them all, mirror mirror). So really, we need de minimus exemptions to AML/MTL for custodianship if bitcoin apps are going to be a take-over-the-world thing imo.

SN will effectively try to do all four, all optional, to the extent that we can, in the meantime. lol

55 sats \ 4 replies \ @supratic 22h

This new release will be even more confusing... There's an high chance users will get lost between all the wallet options provided, plus the dilemma in sending vs receiving... Wallet page could start with something like this: two setups,

select SEND or RECEIVE click attach first and then show only the available wallet for each.. seeing the message sending not supported isn't ideal

End up with something like this first

then allow stackers to add backups wallets for each option

What was not working defining wallet by type? (LND, CLN, NWC, LNaddress, etc..)

why this big change?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 22h

We mixed protocols (LNC, NWC, lightning address) with wallets.

Many people didn’t realize they have at least a lightning address because they didn’t see their wallet listed.

55 sats \ 0 replies \ @supratic 22h

Make more sense this way then, I've been too optimistic assuming everyone knows what protocols are and how they work.

Feels like this is a long ways away.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 23h

yep, only a generation or so from now lol.

most lightning app devs seem to be betting on, as is, flawed custodial solutions in the meantime. i just don't see those solutions producing products I would use. so, I'm hoping the first (1) and (2) come sooner than later.

the simplest solution for us would be to drop p2p zapping all together and just make all sat earning happen via rewards and territory revenue ... but i don't want that product future either.

What would be the impact in Bitcoin Price if Powell is expelled from FED?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @0xbitcoiner 23h

Depends on who comes next, but with the current economic situation, I think the impact’ll be pretty neutral. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter who’s in that position, the agenda’s already set.

Divided the class into boys vs girls and conducted a spelling game with them. Nice to stray away from worksheets and exam-mandated standards once in a while. Might have inadvertently fuelled the gender war in that class.

An ex-colleague, who is old enough to be my ex-student, asked me for professional advice in regard to whether she should switch school. I feel validated and honoured.

Am I the only one who thinks we're experiencing a recession now ( a really slow one ) More and more people I know have been laid off, and some small businesses with which I have interacted before are closed.

Perhaps nature is doing its cleansing, Bitcoin feels like a life raft.

Hey @Coinsreporter did you post anything about the state street options scandal and how the Indian government is demanding they deposit $500M into an escrow account?

229 sats \ 2 replies \ @Coinsreporter 16 Jul

It wasn't State Street, It was Jane Street. And they are doing fraudulent trades for which they had been caught in 2024 , were left with warnings and little fines. But again now they are caught with fraudulent trades of around 4.3 billion for which they have already deposited $564 M in an escrow account to resume services.

It's no surprise that western media has come out defending Jane Street which is an American Company.

However this from Forbes is still a balanced article which rationalised both sides of the coin.

Thanks for the correction. Crazy how they just took advantage of Indian retail traders. I didn’t know options trading was so big in India but I get it people are trying anything to win in this fiat hellscape we find ourselves in only for a major whale to come and take your money.
