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!

Realizing that I might learn to fly next year or the year after.

Try to beat the view from a Cessna. Mountains are nice but still not even close.

Close? I wouldn’t want to get too close!

Hehe, nice way to read it lol

I don’t know why any musician would fly thinking about it.

Not sure I understand. Why any musician would fly?

I haven't watched TV in a long while. But I'm on the road with time to kill, so I switched on the BBC news channel to see what's happening in normieland.

So far they've had: Immigration, why golf courses should be shrunk for environmental reasons, immigration, a rapid increase in shoplifting over the past year, immigration, the benefits of moving to a cashless society, immigration, an inquiry into the government's covid-19 response and how it can be even more draconian next time, and immigration.

Shit's depressing. I'm glad I found Bitcoin and SN. We may be wrong and some of you are complete schizos, but at least I have fun here. Appreciate you all (even the schizos).

That moment when you are in another timezone waiting for the new Stacker Saloon to open :). A lot of noise with new territories, I need some kind of filters to focus.

4pm Texas Time CST still waiting for @k00b to upgrade his restream account to cross post on Nostr

also will likely be getting a sponsor in the next month or so, where should we place the sponsor ad genuinely interested in wondering what the stackers think?

if we do sponsor SNL it will be a company that I think is making cool stuff on bitcoin or we won’t take them on

What do you mean with "where"? Are you talking about placing it on SN? Or are you talking about a sponsor banner behind you somewhere in the stream?

sorry if I didn't give you time to update your reply, lol

hello, for some sat whales

start a territory for whistleblowing or whistleblowers and make it a safe and reliable place for whistleblowing, i know there is no such place in the first layer of Internet, but can make a place where small whistleblowing happening that wont create or invoke some demons over stacker news's back.

whistleblowing territory will be fun as Stacker supports anonymous posts.

spamming will be an issue while stackers can moderate always.

@k00b your input or opinion is much appreciated.

reply

Whistleblowers are welcome at ~oracle, since PMs pay you for whistleblowing :)

Just create a prediction market about something veeery specific and then bet on the outcome with your insider information :)

Jk of course... Or am I?

reply

The Pandora's box is already opened. Nobody will know what is going on on the other "territories". I like chaos/anarchy, don't get me wrong. Having more wild "territories" is just wild and @k00b already lost the "control".

I like it, because is all going back to my initial words... fuuuuck I hate when I am right.

The only sane and clean place remains the SN Saloon... change my mind.

It’s like a freeway pile up in ‘home’ at the moment. There are people running around naked, there are fire hydrants spraying water and a horse just chilling and eating the grass verge.

And then there's me selling PM pills and @DarthCoin does not want to take his medicine, haha

It will calm down. It has to calm down.

It always calms down... before getting worse.

lol, I hope I'm just kidding.

reply

SN "home" is just pure madness... I can't handle it anymore... I will just stick with "bitcoin" territory. All the rest can go fuck yourself.

reply

This most successful people on earth and beyond have one thing that makes them successful. Focus! Stay focused oh powerful Darth we need your focus!

At this rate of new subs @k00b is going to have a balance sheet like Saylor in a year.

Happy Wednesday!!! Sorry about the late message but had to help a fellow teacher with some hours, hope everyone is having a wonderful middle of the week, let's reflect on our success thus far and see if we are where we wanted to be, if the answer is not the one we're expecting, then let's change the process. I wish you all a phenomenal day and remember that you're a mother$#@# beast!!! You've got this and you're important!! Be well and stay frosty, let's finish this week strong!!

The best sane place I found is SN Saloon. All the rest of "territories" are getting pure madness. Really hard to read them all, so... fuck'em'all I will stick with "bitcoin" only

and I just realized that I'm too busy SN muting/ flagging, no time for nostr 😂

Glad you noticed @Natalia. Some creative flair for ~privacy, although I'm sure it can be improved. Working on a post for there sometime tomorrow. Stay tuned

Morning stackers. This is an exciting time to be part of this nutty adventure.

I'd be curious about early thoughts about territories -- my mind is kind of spinning by the implication of it all.

reply

I respect people and the choices they make but I think this will be a great way to onboard potential maxis. I started my journey with Bitcoin and the transitioned into alts but eventually found my way back to Bitcoin. This was mainly due to educating myself which is why territories can be helpful to engage a larger audience and educating them on why Bitcoin and not shitcoins.

reply

Morning Elvis. Said it elsewhere but think we’re going to see many many more nocoiners on SN.

People need to be aware and mindful of this. That we are to help them along in their journey. That their interests alone in some of these territories will see to it that they stick around. It’ll be rewarding to see their journeys and contributions. And for the penny to drop.

Oh and there’ll probably be more value to come from curation too. Exciting times.

reply

I think you're right.

I'm very excited for territories to get more moderating features. I know some people hate the idea (@Onions has made his thoughts on the matter clear; I think @DarthCoin, too), but I have the opposite take: I think the best possible implementation is one where territories can be as sovereign as possible, and a thousand experiments can bloom.

If I create one where I am a heavy-handed dictator with a particular vision, and I will smite posts that violate my vision, then people can select into or out of that vision -- you don't have to love Singapore, but you can't argue that it's not a well-ordered society. If you don't like it and want to live in Caracas, or Somalia, those options are mostly available to you.

I'm rarely sure of anything in life, but I'm sure that if the goal is to use btc to allow online community-building to flourish to maximal degree, one size will not fit all. If you believe in the marketplace for ideas, this is that.

Day 235 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

Very excited to see how many lurkers come out the woodworks to share stuff now that we have more subs to dive into!

Much love to all lurker stackers

reply

I want to be a lurker but I don't have anything to share. 😢

reply

ser i am confused, are you saying you dont want to be a lurker but feel like you have nothing to share? Or saying that you want to be a lurker? Lurkers by my definition dont post but read in the shadows, i would not classify you as that!

I dig your territory.

(Sounds like a pickup line, doesn't it?)

thank u elvis ;) got me crushin on u with that line

A “signature” is a “sign” that merely suggests the existence of something else not actually there – it is not evidence of substance and living capacity. Someone who makes a “signature” is an “accommodation party" in “joinder” to an artificial legal “person” NAME, with Dead Status, serving as surety for the corporate national debt in the Admiralty Maritime Jurisdiction – the International Law of the Sea.

Whereas an “autograph” is a graphic from your living hand as a sentient, flesh and blood man or woman – it provides evidence of substance and living capacity, which is why a thumbprint is the ultimate “autograph” for a living man or woman. Someone who makes an “autograph” declares that they are a sovereign man or woman, with Living Standing, in the Common Law Jurisdiction – the National Law of the Land.

Just pilled one of the devs I've been working with! it's quite easy, as he's been fixing bugs for me and I assumed he is curious about what I do and read some of my articles, so I just ASKED and done, he agreed:)

And I'm still in the process of pilling one Airbnb host, which is a bit tricky since it's a family. I've known them for a while and often come and stay at their house and pay in cash; I attempted to pay in BTC before, but the parents prefer cash ( quite old ) - any stacker have tips on how I should try harder? 👀

reply

tell them about https://airbtc.online/ and many other places where they can list the apartment for BTC (see btcmap.org)

reply

can try, and it would be nice if I can show the parent how Bitcoin works but I don't get to meet them in person, tricky.

also I heard Turkey is going to require a license for doing Airbnb from Jan, pilling opportunity!

Once you give people freedom, it really helps to see the true face.

and a kind reminder: Others have the freedom to create anything, and you have the freedom to mute/ flag it - zapping the one you want to see the most, starving the ones you want it to disappear ( I believe I read this somewhere in the saloon before )

And waiting for @onions toxic post.

Music sub in full swing (pun intended) and today I found this #340394 the music sub has musicians and creators sharing their own works in it! And I honestly couldn't be more proud. Please head over and show @crrdlx some love and appreciation.

reply

I would like to see musicians promoting their music on SN. Lightning has the potential to bridge all gaps.

reply

We do have one that I mentioned above and I was so pleased about. Called Christmas Puppy by @crrdlx and there's also a crypto sea shanty they've done. I'm also really glad to see musicians promoting their music on SN via the music territory.

Why is the 12-month solar calendar considered male?

deleted by author

reply

It must be a bug. It also appears in bitcoin territory but only with the hot filter.

https://m.stacker.news/6940

reply

hot = front page

and saloon always only on the front page because saloon pinned as 8th item on front page

so this confirms this theory of me, I guess

so yes, you're right, it's a bug since I am pretty sure that @k00b did not intend to do this, lol :)

edit: or wait ... not sure. it always showed up on the front page in any territory so that it shows in the bitcoin territory isn't actually new.

maybe that's a feature, not a bug? since that's how subs/territories did work all this time so far? lol

we'll have to wait for @k00b. i think he'll be here any minute now :)

@birdeye21 just took SN’s most precious unclaimed territory. Now the name makes sense…
