That moment when stacker news push notifications pop up in your dreams, lol

Maybe I should disable them, at least on desktop.

I probably shouldn't mix on the same machine that I am using for personal stuff. Hot wallet 'n stuff.

I should probably set up a dedicated laptop with only the internet access required to do the mixing with whirlpool and Sparrow.

However, we all should probably do a lot of stuff in life. But for some reason, we don't. lol

Biggest mystery in life. We know exactly what we have to do, but we just don't do it.

First look at personalized feeds and subtle divergence. One of the most divergent stackers is on the left and consensus is on the right.

https://snimgs.s3.amazonaws.com/Screenshot+2023-10-16+at+5.36.55+PM.png

As the site grows, subs are added/subbed, and more spending dimensions are considered, more and more individual divergence will result ... but the intent is to only ever diverge when the difference from consensus is statistically significant.

Almost there.

Here's an unpopular take; I am following Joe Biden's most badly received and seemingly out-of-touch advice ever.

Not sure if ya'll will remember but somebody asked Joe Biden once what coal miners are supposed to do if their jobs disappear to renewables.

Joe's response is one of the most politically ill-advised sentences ever spoken, it received criticism from every which side, people said he was out of touch, whole mess.

He said: "Learn to code"

It really showed that Joe doesn't understand the concerns of regular working people, but at the same time it showed such a fundamental lack of willingness to take responability for regular people's employment that it's actually my favorite thing a politician has ever said.

The president of USA isn't supposed to solve the everyday issues of regular people. His job is to veto bad bills, appoint judges, secure the border, enforce federal laws, and if there's enough time left in the day, sign a very small number of extremely good bills into law.

The fact that he didn't care at all for the trials and tribulations of the average american miner was such a breath of fresh air, though he obviously was trying to actually give viable advice which is terrible.

The attitude of just saying "idfk man, learn to code?" is marvelous, american politics needs more of this. Stop looking to bureaucrats in Washington to sort out your living.

And yes, Joe, I think I will in fact learn to code. Bout damn time I think.

Withdrawing straight from Kraken to SN to fund my wallet for this bounty post for free just blew my mind, lol. Instantly arrived and I was good to go. Meanwhile, bank instant txs cost 1€ and banks don't work on weekends so you can't transfer any funds at all on weekends.

I didn't have any sats on my lightning wallet atm (shame on me), since I just swapped all my sats to onchain for mixing.

Also yes, I buy on CEX, lol

For parents, do you think the way you stack sats will be drastically different from the way your children stack theirs? Considering how developers are incorporating zero-knowledge proofs to enable smart contract functionality, furthering what Liquid can do for us etc

hi!!! oh man i do not remember where i said this but yes i def do think that running an LN node will get progressively more difficult/expensive— dont wait to start if it’s important to you to have a self-custodial bank!

long term i think we’ll see a proliferation of ecash banks as a cheaper/more scalable way to stack + transact — i expect that owning UTXOs will get expensive!
