Turning on ~news territory as a notification is neat because now I get to see headlines for News. I can only click on the news I find important. 👌

Yes! It works as long as it is high signal. (it is right now.)

Just realized the new PlebLab is in the same building as Antler another accelerator across the street from Capital Factory the biggest accelerator in town. We just happen to be the only Bitcoin one. 🫠

I'm finally QA/reviewing the new editor and I must say it's pretty sexy. The sexiness is an internal thing because, intentionally, we won't be changing anything on the outside yet and it's hiding all its potential.

One year of building SATOSH.EE 🎉

A Bitcoin-native marketplace for gift cards and discounts, built in public — the wins, the mistakes, and the unexpected lessons.

From gift cards, discounts, Open Source Culture and zapvertisement experiments… to a hack, hosting nightmares, slow traction, and literal Proof of Work to keep going.

The recap covers the good, the bad, and the ugly: what worked, what didn’t, and why it’s still worth pursuing.

Read all about it 👇 https://satosh.ee/blog/satosh-ee-1-year-recap/

Did you saw this one about the symbology of the "Wizard of Oz" ? Originally posted by Mark Passio here but the quality is really bad.

This is a version in spanish. Really really interesting.

excellent allegory; full version in English here; thank u for the Spanish version!

once the occult is revealed to man, every movie and life experience becomes an allegory - some better, some worse; some people create phenomenal allegories without even realizing it; i call it "channeling;"

the current conditions are extremely primitive due to worldwide suppression of consciousness by toxicity thru air, water, food, and light; it doesn't matter if there are a few conscious/awake individuals - as long as the majority is asleep, the world remains a giant prison planet;

persistent education is the only way out of this mess;

I didn't even fuck around, so why am I finding out?

reply

Someone remind @DarthCoin that sats were made to be spent!!

reply

I spend my sats wisely not when you want it and how you want it. And I've told, SN is not by far any circular economy or an important thing in bitcoin adoption. Is just an online game. Real bitcoin use cases happen OUTSIDE of your SN square-head.... And your 14M sats are just virtue signaling for nothing. Absolute peanuts in a vast ocean.

Stacker news has a record of our bitcoin spending. And since I spend more SATS than you I can be screwed if they doxxxed me

reply

How do you doxx a sender over LN?

reply

It’s not hard to unwind my nym. I am sure I doxxed myself many of times

reply

Just tell them you screen-captured the BOLT11 and sent it to me over signal. No way that that can be disproved.

Do cycle your channels and keys.

reply

Hahaha cycle? What’s that

reply
  1. Close existing channels
  2. Send your remaining sats to wasabi and mix it
  3. Uninstall whatever you use now or generate new keys if it lets you
  4. New software install (if you had to uninstall)
  5. Open new channels with freshly mixed sats.

Now no one knows if you're you, me, petertodd, or a north korean hacker - because apparently no one else does this.

I will not sign stupid petitions to #freeBlokchainB

reply

Good I won’t need your signature anyways. Don’t confuse me with the Samourai guys

reply

The whole comment, even that you say it as joke, show how rotten is your statist mind, that you cannot end the year without thinking about paying taxes... in that serious shity situation you were indoctrinated.

reply

And that’s your opinion. I respect it but I disagree. This is why I don’t call you names or get all aggressive with you. I don’t think the state is this large faceless monolith that is forever evil as you do.

If you truly want to live in a lawless location that has unlimited freedom then renounce your place of residence and tough it out foreal. Don’t fake it go all the way in.

reply
live in a lawless location

Exactly that is the definition of statism. You are so indoctrinated that you cannot imagine. You gave no idea what is freedom...

You can have my signature if it comes to it! But I recommend declining this offer because once they see the shit opti writes you'll find yourself in an undisclosed location in El Savador with no windows, no visitation rights, and no lube.

reply

Thanks optimism but no signatures will be needed. Dying in jail for not paying taxes is a lame way to go out . I’ll just pay what the IRS ask then start a super pac and make the IRS bend the knee!!

reply

happy boot licking

You are too proud statist not to lick the boot.

How come the two most popular secp256k1 implementations in Golang (decred and go-ethereum) are from shitcoins, and LND uses one of them? 🧐

Mhhh, if I really cared, there would be a way to use libsecp256k1 in Golang ...

Sure you can ffi

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 13 Dec

Sorry, updated my comment after I did some research myself first before asking you, haha

With FFI, you mean this? Never did anything like that, might be a good time now.

According to my research, FFI can also mean "free from infection", haha

Edit: Oh, that's apparently literally what go-ethereum did:

Package secp256k1 wraps the bitcoin secp256k1 C library.
reply
With FFI, you mean [foreign function interface]?

YES!

Never did anything like that, might be a good time now.

It's also what all these Rust->Dart repos do; maybe that's a more useful skill these days than C->golang. Lotsa people poop on C and go these days and while optisaur is a C(++) coder that loves doing things in golang (as a python/java replacement), that's probably not a great skillset if you're not close to retirement, especially since all the rust people make promises that are just an .unwrap() away from disaster. But then imagine having Claude or Gemini building you some code with malloc().

that's apparently literally what go-ethereum did

I feel that as long as something is foss and it is maintained, we should not care too much about shitcoiners. If it were to force us into ethereum then it would be a different story of course.

OMG with these people nowadays we want bitcoin adoption...

Writing good content should never feel like a chore.

reply

I always write what I have in mind. I don't care if is good or bad (from POV of others). It is what it is in my mind.

But yes, sometimes, I take long hiking walks and just think about a subject I want to write. Walking in silence makes you clear your mind from any distractions and focus on the subject, sometimes you see answers that you never thought about before.
