Hey @k00b

Ukraine has a number of on-chain addresses you can donate to, but I haven't seen any Lightning-based options.

I suggest create an official Ukraine handle on SN that stackers can forward sats to. Then, as the custodian of that handle, you flip it to onchain and send it to Ukraine.

Perhaps highlight the handle identified not as ordinary user.

Some caveats

  1. It might make the site political (is it already?)
  2. Scammers might appear on the platform pretending to be Ukraine account
  3. I'm sure there is more

WDYT?

nice try Zelensky

Geyser is a better place for that. And you may report there on how funds spent.

Just post updates here.

Just make it yourself and see what you get. You don’t need k00b to do it, but that would make it higher trust, but to your point you’re asking to create a precedent for SN’s leadership that will lead them to having to take sides on other stuff

reply

For sure I can create it myself, but I have minimal reputation on SN.

Harder for me to gain the trust.

Stop posting about a bullshit war. How much time do you think people will fall for this crap with "donate for ukraine"? Enough that all govs were stealing our money and give it to Zelensky. Our bitcoin cannot take it for this scam.

Post important news and things about bitcoin to get reputation.

Literally the first time I posted about it.

Saw reports of kinder garden being targeted by drones, felt vulnerable about it, given I don't have malicious projectiles flying over my head.

Perhaps I am being bamboozled by Ukrainian propaganda, but it ain't bullshit.

This is not a bullshit. Valet♦️ is a fork of Simple Bitcoin Wallet. Its developed is on active duty, apparently. Rn not on the frontline but circa 2022 was.

reply

bullshit is to beg sats for ukraine. Enough with this crap

reply

Don't like Ukraine? Donate to Valet ♦️

Look, I will tell you something about Valet and please pay attention to it. I know you know I know Valet. I've use it few times to test. I know is a fork of deceased SBW. I liked SBW for its simplicity and hosted channels.

I cannot donate to Valet because:

  • you are leaning into fiat world
  • your medium posts are kind of against LN and more into stablecoins
  • Valet is still using "fiat channels" and that is a no go for me
  • you just fork a project and added some fiat features, that doesn't give you too much credit to me to donate for this fork

You want sats from me and to use Valet?

  • remove fiat channels definitely
  • add a list of vouched hosted channels providers
  • promote it as a true LN wallet not a stablecoins wallet
  • add more useful features to the app

Thank you for your attention in this matter

Is not about like or not ukraine. I have ukrainian friends but they never asked me for a dime. Is about "donating" for a lost cause, where money goes to crooks.

You should focus your energy on WHO created this war: banksters. Stop making their game. All wars are banksters wars.

Far fetched statement. Even Standard Sats as a project took some damage because of this war.
