Fixed my shocknet wallet. I must say it is very underrated!!

Why does the Bitcoin media ignore this wallet.

Why does Evan (from Zeus) get all the love and none for @justin_shocknet

The wallet uses nostr gives you instant liquidity! And a functional LN address

reply

Evan's been focused on the Zeus for a long time, has definitely been the standard for real Lightning wallets.

I only pivoted back to wallet somewhat recently, expected the ecosystem tools to get better as I worked on LV, but they generally have only gotten worse as the opportunists moved on to fake L2s.

Zeus is, I think, still the only other real connect-to-a-real-node wallet. I just think node implementations themselves need a lot of shell work.

Hoy un día como cualquier otro, salvo que me he reído con el historial de siggy y su juventud el vino y el Papa que todavía no dejo de reírme 🤣, me recuerda cuando mi hermana se caso yo tenía unos 17 años y me emborrache hasta no acordarme que la cogí con el busto de Marti y su sistema de seguridad, era en viejo comunista que le había puesto una cadena para que nadie se sentará y yo me deshice de toda privacidad martiana,me senté de espaldas al busto hasta que quitaron la escalera 🤣 maldito viejo ya esta muerto pero en su condenada vida tuvo el placer de verme sentar allí hasta que yo quise, 🤣. No fue por el busto eso no me afectaba era su incapacidad comunista la que me molestaba así que no me arrepiento de haber estado borracha de todas formas sobria ya tenía flojo los tubos. Así es mi día hoy un poco de ganancias sat en mis plataformas y leer casi todos los artículos aunque no respondo a todos, buena salud a todos 💪⚡

Trump may have to pay back the tariffs. (ruling on the 9th)

So these 500 billys gonna be printed.

reply

I've spent over an hour shredding paper today.

I need an industrial size shredder

reply

A single stack of paper, maybe about a foot high. 6 years worth of bills, invoices, and general documents piled up. One personal sized shredder that says it takes 12 sheets at a time but can realistically only handle about 4 without jamming.

It took me 4 hours. I had to empty my recycling bin 5 times. But I got it done.

I need more coffee. That's it.

What kind of ridiculous clown shit are they doing?

Buy cheap tennis balls from Dollar Tree and keep them in a Pringles tube. That way, from a distance, people will think you are a good tennis player and can afford the good balls.

reply

Jeebus, that's about as "return to the 70s" as wearing bell bottoms.

reply

are good tennis balls in tubes that look like pringles tubes?

reply

Yes

Bitcoin fixes this
(real bitcoin, not stocks, not IOUs, not ETFs, not "bitcoin" on another blockchain)

reply

The rose that V leaves beside the fallen becomes, here, orange. A color associated with liberation and a flame of hope. The spark of an invention that questions the monopoly of our value. The flower rests upon a pile of government-issued money. Money stained with blood all over the planet. It is not a mere dramatic effect, it is an accusation. Fiat money (from the Latin fiat lux, let there be light) was and continues to be an instrument of control, a mechanism that seizes savings, commands obedience, and finances wars.
Fix the money, fix the world.

age
stuffed with ethical kitsch

Tech debt isn’t real, someone will rewrite the code anyway.

reply

No, tech debt is real and is one of the major forces driving business dynamics

I've been pitching this since the 90s: write good code, or you will be caught with your pants down when shtf.

wrote this because I'm facing my own tech debt 😭

reply

I'm an SN user so... I know y'all have work to do 😂.

I know that feeling - every dev generates tech debt because no one is clairvoyant (or at least that's what I believe, haha). If you're talking about things that are still in an active sprint/cycle, fix them soon. If these are older things, fix them only if the code is fundamental.

Does a downzapper count as a zapper?

reply
reply

but does the 6 count for upzappers only or downzappers too?

reply

upzappers only

<div>zappers</div>
<div>{item.upvotes}</div>

reply

Thank you, now I again don't have to look at SN code lol

reply

I looked at the code just to double-check, but I pretty much knew it already. Look at this example: the post got downzaps and just one zapper (Siggy, with 36 zap ~lol). But even then, the person who upvoted could be the same one who downvoted! You only know for sure by looking at the code.

Outlawed joke?

I don’t see where I made a joke!
