Does "Import Keystore" = "Import xPub"? What else is there to a Keystore?
reply
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 9 Jun 2023
Are you using Sparrow? IIRC, keystore can also mean a hardware wallet.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @chungkingexpress 10 Jun 2023
Yes this is regarding sparrow. Just curious about the terminology, why they dont say "Import Xpub" etc?

Altcoins were doomed from the beginning; most will not survive the upcoming depression. But because the SEC feels the need to get involved, many people will blame the SEC for the altcoin crash.

Was browsing through my Plex library recently, and noticed a large chunk of my titles are still compressed using h.264. So this week I'm slowly converting them all to h.265.
Also, just got a good look at myself in a full length mirror. I'll be looking up workout routines later today.

Oh, man - I didn't know it shut down! I did just discover my local library has an extensive blu-ray collection, so that may have to be a substitute for now.

Last week I recommended two nostr clients: Coracle and Primal.
This week Coracle sent two of my replies to the void and Primal only connects to its cache relay so I can't like, post, follow, etc.
Taking a look at the console logs of all these clients it's a huge pile of errors, too many random websocket connection failures.
Definitely the bazaar software approach.

Steak prices are insane these days
reply
33 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 8 Jun 2023
Depending on where you are in the world, there are two cheap ways to acquire steaks ime:
- from a local producer in bulk
- weekly beef sales as loss leaders at supermarkets
- e.g. in CA, Safeway/Albertsons every 6 weeks or so would have Choice Ribeye at $5.99/lb (on coupon) and we'd buy several uncut ribeye whole sides that were still in the packaging from the suppliers (meat departments didn't seem to mind it)

Also steak specials at the local pub sometimes are even cheaper or similar price than buying the raw steak from the supermarket. Specially good value for a single person.
Assuming you don't buy any alcohol, that's probably the best deal. The moment you buy one glass you're way off :)
