Aren't you a CoinOS user?
Get your own house in order.
I do not claim to be technically expert but do know that almost every post, comment and zap I perform here is transacted via the LN and thus supports the LN and the sats saturation of the SNs economy.
By attaching LN wallets SNs users maximise the use of sats and LN in their transactions.
Those without attached wallets are not doing that.
There are many ordinary folk like me here who lack the technical proficiency to run nodes and self custody on LN at least yet, but they support the network and protocol as best they can.
What is really strange is the OP who clearly knows all the technical jargon but who cannot seem to bother attaching and showing a LN wallet.
Coinos are soon introducing self custody option- they can achieve this level of technical development because users like me use them everyday here on SNs and elsewhere and they glean the transaction fees and liquidity that provides.
At the same time Bit Talk No Walk hypocrits like @Darthcoin moan its too hard to use LN there on SNs - 'its too hard on my nodes' and so @Darthcoin uses CC shitcoins 'because they always work'.
What a useless technocrat and hypocrit.
So much for him 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' what a joke.
Or do you think we should wait until self custody wallets and self running nodes is something everyone can easily do before actually starting to use Bitcoin everyday?
do not claim to be technically expert
Some of the dumbest people here (or anywhere) have figured it out, it just means you wont show PoW.
The irony is you're deranged over CC's, while yourself using CoinOS Credits. Same Same.
Coinos are soon introducing self custody option
I recall maybe seeing some fake L2 garbage but not self-custody for LN.
Fine if you want that, but it's the same as CCs. Another credit with someone using LN because you're too lazy or inept.
do you think we should wait until self custody wallets
I made a node you can set up in under a minute and share with friends/family to be your own CoinOS.
Literally can't get simpler, copy paste one line in, another out.
I timed it to a live audience at a conference, 59 seconds.
It's even the easiest to pair with SN.
@Darthcoin
Darth's proof of work is not in question, he's done as much for the network as anyone.
You have put in zero effort to even attempt using LN however, seems you are the hypocrit.
Justin, in all fairness, a lightning pub is a way to give CCs to friends and family. If something goes wrong, they will blame the pub owner for losing those. Your node is indeed very easy to install, but one must be an IT expert for not to fuck up running it. ))
I am using sats.
People without attached wallets are much more often not.
Attaching a LN wallet ensures and shows that you are using the LN for transactions here on SNs as much as is reasonably practical.
People who do not bother attaching and showing LN wallets attached are not...they are instead debasing the sats saturation of the SN economy with CC shitcoins
You seem to think we must wait until everyone can manage a self custody LN wallet and nodes before we can all use LN everyday for SNs.
That is absurd and defeatist nonsense.
Only by using the LN can it grow stronger.
I am using sats despite my low technical knowledge- if I can do it anyone can- but elitist arrogant hypocrit cunts like @Darthcoin are not.
Do you even know who he really is?
Nobody does except his sock puppets.
What we do know is that state surveillance agencies will be watching and monitoring any group who voice anti establishment opinions and that they will want to infiltrate such groups and understand the technical systems such groups are developing.
@Darthcoin fits perfectly the posture such infiltrator cunts would present.
No you're not using sats. Your using API credits.
Larping hypocrite.
No need to wait, I gave you the resource to run a node in one minute.
Illiterate, lazy, hypocrite.
You're not an LN user, but we know Darth is.
No there is no proof @Darth is using LN in fact he has admitted he prefers using C/Cs because 'they always work'.
He pointedly refuses to attach and use LN here on SNs- this has been stated by him repeatedly.
I am using LN and sats P2P which any recipient can immediately use from their LN wallet whether it is non or self custodial.
You are talking shit to assert otherwise...probably another @DarthCoin sock puppet.
My transactions here occur over the LN as much as is reasonably possible - @DarthCoin s transactions don't.
We've seen his docs and debug logs, he's got proofs.
Enjoy your Coinos credits, hypocrite.
He is acquiring intricate and inside knowledge of the LN and its participants just as any stooge and mole from state surveillance agencies would.
Sock puppet.
A thought experiment-
Imagine you were an OG and had stacked a few coins when they were cheap as shit.
You had spend decades opposing what you saw as the undermining of your civilisation by bankers and corporate lobbyists who had advanced an ideology that proposed there is no community, only the individual, and that as such government has no place or validity- that markets alone should determine all things in human society.
These amoral neoliberal hypocrits ignored the historical reality that business only succeeds when supported by a strong legal system and a government that can enforce the law within its jurisdiction and project power externally to support import and export trading in goods and commodities.
But these neoliberal parasites did not give a fuck about history or culture.
If they needed cheap labour they imported it, or exported their factories to countries where labour was cheap.
They bought and owned most of the politicians with money created out of debt which debased the savings of all citizens.
They built an empire of debt and slavery to increase their wealth at the expense of most citizens.
Pivotal to their empire was fiat money.
Just as their greed and treachery reached epic heights a spanner was thrown in the works- Bitcoin was created.
It was possible now for anyone to hold capital and transfer value directly P2P without any need for the bankers.
So, humanity was offered a chance to regain its integrity and reclaim all commerce and exchange of value from the parasites who had seized a monopoly over the settlement all trade and commerce.
But this was a narrow hope- one that assumed enough people would make the effort to free themselves.
Bitcoin was not and is not a free ride to liberty- it is only a road, a narrow and difficult path to salvation.
But some did see the need and Bitcoin grew.
It was attacked and mocked and jeered, but its proposal was sound and enough people of conscience did support it so it grew.
But the opposition was and is strong and determined- it was made 'difficult' to use as a MoE payments protocol in most 'liberal democracies' and was outright banned in most autocracies.
It was allowed more as a speculative commodity which enabled large corporate players and bankers to gain an ever increasing share of issuance either directly or by proxy.
And it was tracked and traced- KYC became increasingly universal.
The hope of freeing money from the state and its bankers was never guaranteed and looked increasingly slim.
There was a need to have places where the P2P payments protocol could be used by anyone and show its potential...but few merchants dared accept it and face complex tax implications and FUD smear.
And then you come across an experiment- a social media platform using sats as a V4V means of both moderation and economic viability.
Stacker News!
This platform could operate and show how sats can be used everyday.
The many transactions required would support the growth of the LN and demonstrate it in use in a positive and useful way.
The state/banker cartel of course was watching and duly threatened it might prosecute on the premise of money transmission- so the platform was forced to require users to attach wallets.
This was not easy and created an entry barrier and the compromise of allowing new users and those not capable of attaching a wallet to use a substitute inhouse token called a Cowboy Credit...nominally of equal value to one sat but only valid within the platform.
Most users attached wallets but some refused to and yet they were often some of the most vocal about Bitcoin adoption- claiming to be 'living on The Bitcoin Standard'.
In reality they were deliberately and knowing degrading the sats denominated nature of the entire platform.
What is their motivation?
It seems unfathomable.
It seems like blatant hypocrisy.
They appears just as corrupt and full of shit as the bankers.
And so, after trying to reason with them, you decide to put your stack to use and mete out some wrath upon these hypocrit parasites.
Life is short and freedom is difficult to obtain.
But you can always try.
'more people should be using Bitcoin in the most direct way possible'
Agree 100% and using it here on Stacker News via LN is a great option to support and build the protocol stornger.
The OP does not even show attached wallets - seems like hes all talk and no walk.
