I just got rewards? I guess these are yesterday's.
don't you find it suspicious that the SN glitches happen in the same time as banks glitches?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
me too 👀 what a nice surprise haha
Yeah rewards didn't fully run last night for some reason so I just ran them manually so that we wouldn't miss a day
Thank you. Best thing to wake up to on a workday
Much obliged

Making the bitcoin-only wallet transition.

Guys I'm missing 2193 Sats on Lightning to make a payment that I've had my eye on for Months. I've exhausted my channels, all my liquidity, and the state of the mempool rn makes refilling way too expensive and time consuming.
If I could just get them here on SN I have enough inbound liquidity to manage from here.
Is there anything I could so for you in exchange for this amount of Sats?
I will pay you 3000 sats if you draw me a picture of @DarthCoin doing a force choke on SBF.

Awesome haha
beautiful, thanks man
Daaamn thank you my friend, you're a man of your word, thanks a ton.
You're welcome. Hope you managed to buy the thing you were after. : )
#nailedit
My friend you wanna make 500 Sats? Post a lightning invoice for 3500 and send me back 3000 here on SN, see if I can find a route to you with any of my other channels
That 500 sats could get me out of a couple of jams
Buddy over here already solved my liquidity issue so this offer is expired
This is the extent of my drawing capabilities. It's honestly 100000 times better than I expected it to be

Been doing a lot of testing of GrapheneOS. Moved my main phone from CalyxOS yesterday. Not without hiccups. Specifically the way the two OSs handle apps that need Google services.
I haven't used Graphene in a couple years. It has come a long way but so far it seems like some things are more smooth on Calyx like Signal which needs Google services. I'm still digging into the Graphene settings and docs so I may be missing a few things.
Also have had some odd issues with sim cards but that could be a red herring because they can be finicky when you are swapping them between phones.
I'll share my experiences using GrapheneOS as a daily driver if people are interested.
Also been trying out Obtainium for a while on Calyx and now Graphene. Experienced rate limiting for the first time yesterday which was frustrating.
I will say those that have been promoting Obtainium over apps stores like F-droid aren't mentioning some of the issues. F-droid is far from perfect but using RSS feeds or Obtainium is not viable for novice users yet IMO. I like Obtainium btw and I'm sticking with it for now. Its a new project and I like the direction.
Please don't take this as fact but my feeling after less than 24 hours is that while Graphene has more frequent updates CalyxOS might be more stable. That could be untrue and maybe a small sample size but that's what I'm feeling right now. There's always tradeoffs.
I like that Graphene doesn't come with a bunch of apps like CalyxOS. CalyxOS isn't bloated but Graphene is sparse.
I made the transition from proprietary android. I never tried Calyx. I wrote two posts about my experience. There are a few SNers who are incredibly knowledgeable about graphene, including @03365d6a53 and @final.
Also moving Blixt and all my other bitcoin apps wasn't to bad but I'm not sure I wanna keep using Blixt after having to close all my lightning channels on it. Appreciating the simplicity of Phoenix. Blixt is great but running a node on your phone has tradeoffs.
Hey gang!!! It's Tuesday and the week is getting some steam!!! Loving it and ready to give this week a good shake! Let's do this!! Hope your day is going amazingly and you're enjoying every minute of it, if it's going a tad difficult or not going your way, have no fear and just try a different approach at things or try a different perspective, remember that everything has a solution, we might not see it yet, but it does and it shall pass and you, my friend, will still be here, standing. Just remember to stay humble and be thankful for the learning experience. You are important! As always I wish you a phenomenal week and stay frosty and be well my good friend! Thank you for being!!
Thanks for cheering us on!

I'm really glad you remembered. Loosing access to your Bitcoin is heartbreaking, I know.
I'm curious if people got rewards payouts this morning.
I was surprised to not get anything either. I wonder if Texas time zone change might've messed with our time calculation.
I wonder who ended up getting them. It seems like a lot of the normal recipients came up empty.
I just ran it manually so that we wouldn't miss a day, but the rewards task didn't finish last night for some reason.
Until proven otherwise, I say we keep blaming daylight savings.
My current theory is our reward cutoff was too aggressive and rewards were going to far more people than normal.
As is, if your reward proportion for a single rewardable action is <= 0.0001 we don't give you rewards for it. eg if the rewards pool is 100k sats, it needs to be at least 10 sats of rewards to qualify. I think the majority of rewarded actions might've been <10 sats. We should probably lower this threshold because if you have many actions qualifying for 1 sat rewards in a day, they can accumulate to meaningful amounts.
Only three people got a couple hundred sats. There's probably a bug. Looking into it.

I did
Interesting. Was it for posts or zaps?
Posts
Thanks
Did you get any for comments?
https://m.stacker.news/4331
That was the day before!
Oh lol
Not today. But I was pretty quiet here yesterday. Damn Benjamin Franklin and his Daylight Saving lol
Why don't the attempts to repeal it ever work?
deleted by author
Me? No
I haven't received anything either. It might be a bug caused by the shift in time.
I saw the count down clock for the reward pool reached zero, one hour later today. Which is why I think it might have something to do with the time change.
Other than that: Ain't no thing but a chicken wing!
Is there nothing Daylight Savings can't take from us?
Lmao. Nope! We just have to live with the savings we getting. Lol.
Not today!
But I still get to keep my hat lol
Yeehaw!
Priorities
Wah your default zap is so high! Thanks mate
No risk it, no biscuit

Not for sale to Persons Under the Age of 18. Drink Responsibly ;)
Came for the rewards, stayed for the Salutations.
Mornin Freaks!
GM freak!
No need to worry about that. Just enjoy the saloon's special: 2 for the price of 1.
I see @DarthCoin is taking full advantage of the special. Lol ;)
Not worried, just curious
I had the same reaction. Then I had the meta-reaction of wondering at my motivations for reacting. So much introspection so early :)
I got used to the routine of adjusting my default zap after checking my rewards and it just threw me off a little.
It really threw me too. I can't remember the last time I didn't get a reward. I just assumed it was a posting day rather than a zapping day, but I was commenting my usual annoying amount yesterday.
Maybe that means double rewards today. Zap harder. Post harder.
You nailed it.
Maybe. Good advice.
That's fair. I'm sure we'll get an update from k00b. In the meantime, enjoy the madness.

A little help with your non-native language:
CURIOUS, a neutral term, basically connotes an active desire to learn or to know.
and in your native language the word humor doesn't exist?
I think we just have a higher standard for it.
Ouch. Love that reply lol
LOL must be a very boring life, nobody making jokes there.
Smile, tomorrow will be worse.
We don't have fewer jokes, just better ones
Lmfao. 2nd gif, priceless.
@siggy47 love that gif
Here we go again. I think I finally understand.
Lol.

Now that we can upload images easier, how about a setting that auto-hides uploaded pictures, much like a mute does? But not the whole post, just the img, so it default to, if you want to see it, you click something?
Agree.
Made an issue for it: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/610
Oh my freaking G**. I just noticed now we have an image upload feature. Jeez dude. Thank you for the post and bringing this to my attention. I guess I don't have to use ImgBB anymore.

He has a very good voice. I enjoyed that. I wonder what Joan would think?
Is she here on SN too?
I love Joan. She is a queen. I would never say anything bad about her, but she is a fiat fool.
she have a song about banks, loans and disobedience, right?
Yes, but don't forget Joe Hill:
https://youtu.be/_f2J4ceCikI?si=KpRUif-CQ_QyqRbP
I am shocked. The multi faceted Mr. Coin. You made my day. Joan is a wonderful person. We played together at some holiday show years ago. I think it was me and Bob with her.
I love her songs.
I am old too, I know the good old music... (not like today's garbage)
Beautiful song you 3 had then

Thank you. I loved old American songs. Old blues and country. This is one of my favorites:

What’s an intriguing thing you learnt about Bitcoin recently?
This, Lmao: #307676
Someone just wrote in response to my post that Bitcoin is a low time-preference thing. Would you happen to know what it means?
This is the response I got from GPT: Low time preference with Bitcoin means you're really good at waiting and not spending all your Bitcoins right away. You save some Bitcoins for the future because you believe they will be worth more later. It's like not using all your Bitcoins now and keeping some for later when you think they'll be even more valuable.
It's basically a waiting game. People are holding or hodling their Bitcoin in anticipation of a possible price increase. That's my understanding based on the GPT response above.
https://m.stacker.news/4300
So funny!
Lol, I love it.
More than enough girlfriends to go around. Not enough Bitcoin though.
Yeah Bitcoin will be enough ..... Thats by design....
There's enough Satoshis for everyone on the planet. Not enough whole single digit Bitcoins for everyone though.
Sats will become the standard...

Cold autumn morning,
wind through trees, dew on the grass,
like bitcoin, resting..
As if you're looking out my window. Beautiful view, but I wish I could stay in the warm house a while longer.
…that’s because I am outside your house….. looking in…
(cue creepy music)
Lol. I was thinking the same thing.
Don't ask me why, but your comment reminded me of another Airplane scene, even though the connection isn't obvious:
It's quiet....too quiet
Brilliant. It’s the music and sound effects that really add to that film.
‘Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit DCA ing Bitcoin..’
Sounds like you're having a good morning to get the blood circulating.
Oh yes - already been out. Bright skies forecast as well.
That's wonderful buddy. Really wonderful.
I'm already deep into my work day. Just four more hours and then I'm free from the shackles of the 9/5, until tomorrow. Lol.
Until that snail gets us where we need to be…. then we can focus on work we love not need to do.
I have all the confident in the snail. Snaily will lead us to the promise land.
Day 206 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

OMFG!!!
Sweet.
Nodding head, yes.
Moving kinda slow.
Snails pace….
GM. That's true. Cowboys still getting use to the time shift. It feels like we've all been transported to a parallel universe where everything happens 1 hour later than usual. Lol.

Hell yeah!
Hello, hello, hello, echo fading, ello, llo, lo.
Where's everyone? Lol.
Slow day at the saloon. Time adjustment hangover…
Slow day indeed. Hopefully it picks up later today when the saloon has its 2 for 1 specials.
Let’s do shots and pretend we are 21!
Lol.
I don't have to pretend buddy.
Lol. Pesky kids!
Lol.
I need three or four shots of that strong coffee you have over there.
Coming right up!

And wherever he lays his shell is his home…
That's the beautify of the snail.
Reminds me of the nomadic way of life.
Kinda like van life
Exactly like van life but with a shell. Lol.
