Tiny bug report.
Now that there's a cowboy hat and number of days shown in the profile here, when you double click to select a username from the profile, it also selects the number of days along with the username. Ideally the number should not be selected.

I probably missed the announcement, what does this icon represent? (it's next to some of the user's name and says a number of days if you hover it)

Proposal for @k00b
A nostr relay for all SN users.
- each SN user will be "verified" on nostr
- to post using this relay, each post will cost 1sat or whatever amount you decide, same as on SN.
- user can use the sats from SN account, to post on SN and on nostr.
- each post on SN, could have an additional option "post on nostr", so when you post something on SN is also posted on nostr. Optional, because not always you want to post on nostr. A simple tick box for the reply or post on SN. Of course that will be an extra cost of sats

You can even extend this to more features, create like a fee market:
- you want to post something right now, pay extra fee
- you want to post it later, pay regular 1sat/note
- you reply to a note, 1 sat/reply 1st reply, 5 sats next reply, 10 sats the next one and so on
- all kind of things like these that will also increase the BTC/LN adoption. Even all shitcoiners will HAVE TO USE USE LN if they want to post.

We're planning to try to do some kind of hybrid thing like this. I'm unsure of the details, but we'll at the very least host a read-only relay of SN content.

Imo bitcoin has peaked it will maybe split into smaller parts motivated by desperation but at the end of the day the fundamental truth holds true

Going further: what has decentralization given us? Hype and pump. But that's it. For example full rbf didn't become default even tho it was the right thing, segwit came with a blocksize increase which was wrong, and there was a better solution. i believe the multisig design also won over a better alternative back in the day. I thought decentralization was supposed to protect against this sort if thing. But it didn't. All it does is give us a dream to throw our money at until we realise the hard way it wont work.

Why are you on Stacker News? Segwit has been around for a while now. Why are you still interested in bitcoin? Are you interested in other coins as a result of your dissatisfaction?

They are all the same including bitcoin. Used to extract value from naive and ignorant people and I am playing this game too but now I am speaking up. I wouldn't feel as good making money on the way to $3k if I didn't say anything.
