I think my primary complaint with Lightning over the last two months of pretty heavy use, is that there isn't a wallet I know of that has a gif of Emperor Palpatine using Force Lightning whenever I send a transaction, and one of Luke being hit by said Force Lightning when I receive.

Why are altcoiners against bitcoin but in favor of its values?

I got into shitcoins first because of GPU eth mining last cycle, much of that community doesn't see the big picture. The group I followed was into mining, but their ambitions don't scale all the way to Bitcoin mining for some reason. BitsBeTripping was the OG of that space, and while he and some others did transition to Bitcoin mining, the rest are still shilling the next rugpull, searching for something to do with their dozens or even hundreds of gaming gpus. For me I signed off- now focusing on learning, stacking, and onboarding normies. I sent my (luckily few) gpus to family and friends and got a couple little gecko asics to tinker with solo node mining just as Satoshi intended.

I've seen a few ⚡services for paywalls, donations, micropayments, etc.

Have you used some of them?, I've tried the Alby WordPress plugin. It's a game changer. Any person, without any coding, can add it, and use it in seconds.

Trying to create a faucet where you can donate and receive sats. This is for people new to Bitcoin and to get their first sats to get a great first onboarding experience.

Stack: LNbits, Nuxt website that talks to LNbits and creates a qrcode (lnurlp), separate Express server that receives webhook call and that emits a server-sent what was paid. I got the webhook part working. Now the rest...

Have been trying to wrap my head around public and private keys. Finally, set up a Nostr account successfully with Damus and even posted my first LN invoice successfully! So proud of myself

So ironic right when I liquidate my TSP I see an article about how the government is disinvesting in the G fund because of the debt ceiling.

“In Disinvestment, the Treasury in effect takes the G fund off the Government’s books as debt owed, freeing up an equivalent amount of money.”

THIS IS WHY I BITCOIN!!

While exploring news outlets on Bitcoin, I came upon this good article "Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Address Moves $9.6 Million in BTC After 11 Years" on Decrypt.

I wonder how many people can hold for that long?

trying to use fountain podcast I ve an issue (rewards stays to 0) so i ve contacted their support and here is their response

Sometimes your account might get flagged temporarily in our system (e.g. when you change devices on the same day, since you can only use Fountain on one device at a time), but if you keep using the app normally, your earnings should resume the next day.

If things do not change, here are some troubleshooting tips:

Try switching to a different wifi or cellular network for a few days and see if that makes a difference If you normally use a VPN, try without for 1-2 days. If this doesn't help, try a different device, if you have the option. Always try for more than one day, as some of the changes will only take effect the next day.

If none of this works, we will not be able to assist at this moment, I'm afraid. We would, however, be grateful if you could let us know the device and operation system you're experiencing these issues on (e.g. Xiaomi Redmi/Android). This will help us to investigate further and see if this is a device related issue, which we can then solve for all users.

Now i m trying to listen a podcast and let s see how it goes

This happened to me a lot when I started using fountain. You did the right thing contacting support. Each time the issue was usually resolved the next day. After a month or so it stops happening. I haven't had an issue in months.

i think fountain is pretty much just one person so it's cool to be patient with some things

I was the same as you at the beginning. I was obsessed with getting my free sats. I think it was because I hadn't wrapped my brain around the whole "value for value" idea. It gradually dawned on me that to really help build a bitcoin economy, I really should focus on the value I was getting from the podcasts. I found some incredible content, and I am now more interested in giving good podcasters my sats through boosts. I particularly support those podcasters who rely solely on listener boosts for income, and less so the big advertisement model shows. I look at the first hour of free sats as supplementing my kitty to support my favorite podcasters. I no longer look at fountain as a way to earn, and more as a way to build a circular economy.
