I was just thinking about how lucky we were that our github repo wasn't assaulted by slop yet, and despite the bounty system ... that didn't last very long ... still there might be some gems in those tokens somewhere. I think they're well intentioned ... even if it's a bit ill-considered.

I removed all of our bounties in the meantime (more unplanned than I wanted it to be tbh): https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2787

Then shortly after some guy started spamming our issues asking if we "accept" USDC? That was an easy block at least.

Claude may be better at code than ChatGPT, but only marginally so.

However, ChatGPT is miles ahead of Claude in terms of image recognition. (Sonnet, at least. Hadn't tried Opus).

Claude Sonnet almost gave me really bad advice about how to hook up my new PSU.

All of my Tallinn gangsters 🇪🇪
See you in 2 weeks: 20 Feb 2026 at 17:30 in Rahva Raamat (Viru Keskus)
I will be doing a presentation of my book "A Stoic Resurrection" (#1074789)

The book itself is currently only available in English, but the presentation will either be in Estonian, English or both, depending on what languages the people that show up speak. Hope to see you there 🫡

Event link

The event will also be livestreamed on Facebook so you can still tune in even if you can't make it. I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to get a friend to come along with me and do a nostr livestream as well 👀

I zapped before realizing it was you. I should have known.

I don’t think this deserves a zap. Have it back.

And went to see ‘Is This Thing On’ at the cinema - enjoyed it despite being about 30 mins too long - reminded me of our long chats about the history of comedy and how it doesn’t necessarily translate across borders. The comedy might not but the story does…

Going back into hibernation now.

Wow, a memory just came flooding back...

My aunt from Venezuela sent me this photo, and I confess, it makes me envious just remembering all those rich, sweet, and delicious mangoes 🥭...

I was an 11-year-old boy, and there was a huge mango tree in the back of my house...

It was so great to wake up, climb into the branches, ignoring my mother's shouts that I was going to slip and fall, and enjoy something delicious 😋

Interesting list... ultimately I guess it reflects personal preferences as well as impersonal considerations of "signal to noise ratio".

anyway, thanks for sharing it. In principle I'm in favor of transparency although I hope this specific topic doesn't cause more animosity than the mild confusion found in the sibling comments.

Is @coinos not working for anyone else? I can't do a NWC connection with Alby extension (Request timeout. Make sure your wallet is online and unlocked) nor pay an invoice from Coinos webapp (paste the invoice, press next, nothing happens)

reply

Coinos has had several drawbacks...
I stopped using it for large transactions...
or rather, for transactions in general, and I only use it as a wallet for receiving S/N; people who want to give me something of value receive it there...

reply

Agree coinos is not 100% reliable but it is 98% reliable and the fees are incredibly low.
I like supporting it and using it for small transactions though only hold at most a hundred thousand sats there.
For my stack its mostly in cold storage L1 and some, much less, in a hot wallet L1.

If we do not support wallets like coinos they and the LN generally will not grow and develop.
I enjoy posting and zapping here knowing that every post or zap is paying some small fees toward developing better wallets and the LN itself.

People like @Darthcoin who choose to not attach wallets are not supporting the LN and its growth.
They are just hollow man hypocrits circle jerking on about how they 'live in The Bitcoin Standard' but in reality its all Hypocrit big talk no walk BullShit.

reply

Keep paying with your "pistols"...
this is how I take your pistols and sats

reply

LOL your imbecility do not have limits.
There's no difference between CCs in SN and sats in Coinos or any other custodial account.
ANY custodial account is in fact a CREDIT token. Same as CCs.
you are a fucking moron

11 sats \ 2 boost \ 0 replies \ @Solomonsatoshi 17h

There are multiple differences.

When I zap someone I send sats.
If they have attached sending and receiving wallets they get sats.
When you zap someone you can only send CC shitcoins.

When I send sats by zapping, posting, or commenting that transaction goes via the LN.
The wallet and nodes charge fees and those fees support the nodes, wallets and LN as a whole.

When someone attaches LN wallets and is active here they are supporting nodes wallets and LN as a whole.

You, using CC shitcoins are not supporting the LN.
We are different.

You are a hypocrit who wanks on with Big Talk about 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' but you in reality do not use the LN.

You are a hollow man full of BullShit and HypoCrisy.

PSA-

Do not trust- verify.
Boycott the hypocrits.
Do not send your precious sats to any lazy moron who calls themselves a Bitcoiner but who can't be fucked attaching LN wallets.

If they dont have a horse and gun do not debase your sats by zapping them.

Note- CCs are shitcoins- they are issued by a centralised authority and have no limit in total issuance.
@Darthcoin is in love with CC shitcoins- he is demonstrably a hypocrit.

reply

LOL that's why @Solomonsatoshi cannot kiss my ass anymore... hahahahaha

reply

Sometimes I sleep.
Good morning.

I have more than one LN wallet you moron.
I use LN multiple times everyday supporting its growth and development.
You don't.

You only use CC shitcoins yet claim you are 'living on the bitcoin standard'.
You are a joke and a hypocrit and all can see it.
Get yourself a gun and stop being such a moronic bullshit spouting hypocrit.

We regular stackers can’t really be sure about that, only k00b would know!

And is very well explained in the FAQ page. But yeah people don't bother reading it...
