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!

How can we make twitter links appear visible like on iMessage, what’s app, signal or telegram?

Allowing edits to territory billing is about as painful as anticipated. Dealing with time sucks.

Many of us will thank you for your service, with chunky monkey lump-sum payments

Time zones suck! We don’t have that problem here though.

It’s just that considering time when solving a problem is like the difference between a picture and a video. It literally adds another dimension to the problem

reply

Absolutely. No longer just about if you paid or not, but whether your payment is still valid or not.

Probably opens up all sorts of future functionality, like Stacker subs and recurring payments, zaps & donations. Hopefully worth the headaches long-term.

You can do it!

The most thank-full job you can do on the internet - relative to expended effort - is be an asshole.

Being able to say ‘no’ is a superpower. Incredibly under appreciated, having focus. Still diabolical at it myself.

Abed so unflappable

You're both wrong! Watch it again and repeat until you realize that Britta's the best.

Britta Unfiltered was the name of her high school opinion column.

I get it.

Huh?

For some reason, knowing that you watched Community and apparently liked it so much that you have chosen a reference to it as your pp gave you a lot of sympathy points from me.

Funny how that works sometimes.

Real freaky.

I like how the videos become more uncanny the longer you pay attention to them. For example, the van sometimes has shadows cast upon it when a tree's there but sometimes doesn't. And the wild west scene has a two-legged horse (left side of the river, ~10 seconds in).

reply

I just want to know how much it costs in compute to generate a 10 second video.

reply

Probably less than mining a block of Bitcoin

-- MSM, probably

reply

Well, fees are remaining lower for longer than I thought they would. Even after the difficulty adjustment.

Time to consolidate and create LN channels.

Learn how to fish instead of keep buying the fish! 🎣

Now whenever I see something I like / curious about how it's being made, as simple as candles or soaps, I would ask the maker do you teach it instead of asking for the price of the product hahah; I mean I can just buy and done, but that's a bit boring...I'm much happier to have the products made by me ( way more fun and meaningful ) but the main reason is that I want to see how things are being made, not necessary to master it but I would like to have the opportunity and see and get my hand dirty to play a bit. 🤓

My wife is doing her PhD in Education. I just found this:

How long it takes to get a PhD

Education has no PhD? The degree has a different name. Which is why everyone made fun of Dr Jill Biden

You need to convince your wife the benefit is not worth the cost

No. Notifications regarding subscriptions will also show up in your notifications like this:

Yeah, I never see those. But that's ok. I just want to subscribe to people's new posts not comments.

3 Amazing and Noteworthy Bitcoin Facts3 Amazing and Noteworthy Bitcoin Facts

1 - Think about the cost of delivery1 - Think about the cost of delivery

A programmer paid 10,000 bitcoins (about $30) in May 2010 for two enormous Papa John's pizzas. Those pizzas would be worth more than $735 million AUD at the current bitcoin pricing, making it reportedly the first-ever purchase of any kind using the cryptocurrency.

2 - Searching in the Landfill2 - Searching in the Landfill

James Howell, an Englishman from Newport, United Kingdom, states that after becoming one of the first miners of bitcoin, he unintentionally tossed out his computer hard drive, which contained almost 7,500 BTC. He has been frantically exploring the neighborhood garbage since 2013 in an attempt to locate the misplaced hard drive, which is believed to be worth 5.5 million AUD today.

How unlucky you are!

2 - $200 for all, all for one2 - $200 for all, all for one

The maximum number of coins in the Bitcoin market is 21 million. Therefore, if everyone received the same amount of coins, it would be about 0.0027 BTC for every person. That equates to about $200 AUD for each person.

another $500m of BTC was just scooped up by ETFs yesterday, that’s $1.5 billion of buying this week for those keeping track at home.

Really fun to watch the numbers daily... almost $2.5 billion in the past 5 business days alone 🤯

@k00b it would be nice if the first comment to a post appeared above the "related posts"

At present, the comment goes to the bottom of the page and the related posts appear in between (until the page is refreshed).

reply

We can collapse the related section after you replied. It was probably just an oversight.

reply
It was probably just an oversight.

Oh sure! It's pretty subtle.

reply

Not received rewards today?

You might have been busy with friends & family and working (to get sats).

No need fixate just on SN sat rewards if bigger picture rewards are more important.

reply

I'm sensing a pattern.

Totally random anecdote: My daughter asked me "Mommy, why does my Barbie say "Made in Indonesia" if Santa Claus brought it to me? Don't elves make toys at the North Pole? - It made me laugh a little, I stuttered the answer .

Since she was little, she realized that nothing is as it seems... She will be a pure and simple bitcoiner.

reply

Santa's a filthy capitalist off-shoring North Pole jobs to the third world where he can exploit vulnerable workers.

Early January I made the following play:

Bullish as fuck on 2024. I have deployed some capital into the top miners for a short-term trade in a tax sheltered account. For the record I mostly hold cold-storage BTC, but this is capital that cannot be used to buy spot (UK ISAs).

Making my trade public so you guys can all shit on me if this goes tits up.
__@_'-'

After a brief sell-off post ETF approval, it seems as though most miners have recovered and then some. My allocation is up ~30% thus far, neat.

This is a short-term degen play. Will exit the trade at either a) New ATH or b) Mid-April, whichever comes first.

just had an experiment of "bank run": LNbits - create a mint - distribute the tokens to other wallets to play around - delete the mint, and guess what! all the IOUs left in the wallet are nonredeemable, it's still THERE but you can't cash out or swap out, in real life would be you can't do any transfers or get cash out of the ATMs, which makes me wonder why people trust the banks so much with their money, it's really easy to "shut down" the banks.

The Bitcoin journey really teaches you about money and how to be your own bank instead of trusting some banksters to handle it for you.
