Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Until it's dialed in, I'll be spending next year focused on onboarding improvements:
After spending so long on wallets, it's hard thinking about doing another thing that isn't some flashy feature, but in contrast to wallets, this should be rewarding.
What's on this side of the snake pit?
how about a 1 click bitcoin treasury company?

A gravity well?
now we're talking
Hahahahaa
This would be awesome! Buy CCs through BIP-21 "invoice"?
I was thinking more along the lines of an alternative unpaid gate to posting and commenting (at least in certain contexts). But on-chain payments are another kind of alternative gate that we should add.
One of the most surprising things we learned at TABConf was that many bitcoiners hate custodial wallets and have no interest in running their own lightning nodes. I suspect they'd be cool with the middle ground of a robust statechain/sidechain, but none of that is very trustworthy yet.
If not for Phoenix' UX, I would have been one of them. I ran an lnd early on (home node on 2 Odroid hc4 boards) and although it was interesting, I lost quite the sack of sats to poor channel management and I ended up pretty negative about LN for a while. I feel that before LN, defending your stash meant simply protecting your keys and not sending coin to a scammer. Life was simple if you'd figured those 2 out, whereas now there's a lot more complexity.
I don't know. Statechains is a loaded subject, because Paul has been too much of a tizzy dick about those since 2014, and in general sidechains are a burden because you'd need to sync 2 chains.
Bonus take re: custodial wallets
The only problem with CCs is that there are a bunch of assmilkers and other clowns roaming here that are campaigning for custodial wallets because of some horse emoji. But I don't want to use custodial services. These are wildly antithetical to Bitcoin to use, as we were here for the
p2p electronic money, notBanking 2.0. Fuck banks.If we didn't want SN to support marketplaces, and didn't enjoy reading about stackers buying little things with their proceeds, I probably wouldn't have bothered doing all this noncustodial lightning stuff. I suspect it'll be worth it a few iterations from now, but you're right that CCs do most of what we need doing today.
It's not so much an SN problem as it is a generic LN problem, I think - at least for me, nowadays. Since I'm roaming, it's not really feasible to run a small box with lnd, and it's nasty to have active keys on a hosted box in a datacenter. (And yes, it's even more nasty to use someone else's banking service that has active keys on a hosted box in a DC.) I will test Zeus with NWC but I fear that at the rate lnd eats my phone battery, I'm not going to be cheering all that much.
I have thought up somewhat of a scheme using a hosted so-hot-its-burning Shockwallet combined with a somewhat cooler Zeus for offloading, to test, but I still heavily dislike both the cost and complexity. Just need to find a quiet moment to set it up and see what's what.
Feeling thankful to have had a peaceful Christmas, hope everyone is having a good day. Today I played a little Elden Ring, watching The Return today after getting distracted on a first attempt
Made almost $20 in recaptured money depositing my year's worth of piggy bank coins today, and that was after removing all the pennies...
Sorry about the weird slowness just now. All of our servers got cycled through due to a an overly sensitive health check. I believe I've fixed it but I'm surprised that hasn't happened before.
Hi, after a long, long break—so long, I see, that the side removed my profile picture. That's why I posted this sweet kitten, from the summer litter. I hope Google Translator didn't make any linguistic crap. Apart from that, I wish you all a Merry Christmas
hello merry chrismus

Rather than attributing your partner's good behavior to your romantic abilities, give them credit for being good. Or if you are dull and your ego is too loud, at least give them credit for being responsive to your romantic abilities.
Waiting for the storm:
