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!
Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
I want to emphasize due to apparent misunderstanding from @Scoresby and others that I do not see any problem (ie hypocrisy) with people not interested in Bitcoin, or newbies, who have not yet have or show attached LN wallet/s.
My gripe is with content providers who virtue signal strongly pro Bitcoin content but who refuse to attach LN wallets and thereby fail to maximise their use of and support for the LN.
I see this group as hypocrits and essentially hostile to the whole aim as I saw and understood of Stacker News which was to be a sats denominated V4V social media platform.
That's why I came here- to spend sats, and have them received as sats and get good honest content...and I do not believe I am alone in that.
If Stacker News has given up on building a sats denominated V4V platform it should be announced so that we are not operating under false understandings.
Stacker News info section on CCs calls CCs inferior to sats.
I agree with that definition.
The info section identifies them as primarily for those who are new to SNs or unable to attach a LN wallet.
If Stacker News official stance on this has changed let it be made official.
So-Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
I mean this is a free world and nobody needs to prove anything to anyone. I'll give you the opposite version: I never posted and almost never engaged in bitcoin/lightning conversations, even at bitcoin++ (lol), but I do have a node, a horse and a gun.
Agree nobody needs to prove anything to anyone, but my question is whether -
'content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/LN related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?'
Seems are different views on this within SNs developers but that Stacker News as a whole can no longer be seen as working to build a V4V platform using, as much as possible, sats as the MoE.
P.S. If Stacker News still sees its sats denominated nature as a priority then the ability of content providers to conceal their wallet status needs to be removed.
This does not force anyone to do anything.
But it would give content consumers like me the ability to verify whether or not content providers are walking the talk regarding LN use and adoption.
If SNs is to ever be a viable economic unit it needs the input of content consumers zapping sats into the SNs economy.
Content consumers cannot do that from an informed perspective if they do not know the wallet status of content providers.
If someone is rarely or never posting LN adoption content or is simply not interested in LN adoption then having, or not having LN wallets is not hypocrisy.
I no zero problem with either.
I just don't want to spend sats on content providers who display hypocrisy regarding LN.
You are totally wrong: SN is not a V4V platform. Is just a "pay to post" forum.
What are zaps for then?
Moderation of forums with money is an intrinsic part of the V4V model, as is paying to post.
I am tired of your idiocy and your useless vendetta against CCs. Is totally idiotic what are you doing. This is just noise, not value.
So please fuck off.
Few movies are worth watching these days, this is one of them with unexpected ending! Anyone else has seen it?
Watch also Paradise series. Season 2 just released

'Hell or Highwater' is a damn good movie.
Will watch Relay tonight.
yes I saw it. Pretty good, interesting.
I orange-pilled my brother. He made his first investment in Bitcoin.😉
wonderful news! is he aware of how wild this ride is going to be?
I've been recommending it for a long time. He decided to buy it when the price dropped. I think he knows the profit he'll make. His investments in the stock market have been very successful. I think he saw the real value in Bitcoin.
Hello, have a good start to the week. BTC 💪

did you code SS too?, seems suspicious
No, that's what @ek's script took care of.
Btw, I figured out a workaround for this: I clicked on the timestamp to be sent directly to your comment. Then I can keep clicking "parent" to read the whole thread.
I'm just reading it in reverse that way, haha.
Yes, I muted @Lux.
