- Summarizing my thoughts on ecash
- Ecash is all the rage because unlicensed custodial transfer of someone else's penny is a crime and mobile lightning wallets can't send or receive offline. @sethforprivacy shares their sobering, nuanced thoughts on ecash.

- @DarthCoin explains Lightning as a system of water vessels and pipes. Lightning is complicated, yet it resembles things we're all familiar with.

- CashApp appears ready to announce nostr zappable lightning addresses. (But, they aren't pregenerating npubs.)

Take that @Undisciplined. I can’t afford my rent now but I surpassed you in spending at least for one week.
You did at that.
As a person of great honor, integrity, and humility, I have no problem acknowledging defeat and celebrating your victory.
Gotta keep you in check once a quarter or so.
At least, I'll always have the older cowboy hat.
Yes. Who do you think is outzapping Koob? A hiding stacker zapped more than him last month. Likely one of the 3 hidden figures who sit at the top of the leaderboard daily. I don’t think it’s Siggy. I would guess he zaps around the same as us. He gets up there daily due to having top posts all the time and high value scores.
I always just assumed it was Siggy, but some seem to believe it's the legendary nemo. I wonder if it's even someone who's active on here. Maybe it's just a generous benefactor. K00b mentioned once that he didn't know who it was.
I've also been wondering what those top three hidden stackers are doing to get there everyday so reliably and so quickly. I don't have any explanation that wouldn't also put k00b up there. It's really weird that no one ever cracks the top 3, no matter how big their posts are.
I'm not up there because me and @ek are significantly handicapped.
I always wondered why you weren’t number 1 every day. I guess that explains it.
Oh yeah, I do recall that being mentioned at some point.
I think I get what could be going on, then. They (and you presumably) have such high trust and zap enough that the content they zap is inevitably top content. They (and you presumably) also tend to zap each other's content, leading to that content always ranking toward the top.
At some point I need to look into the top 3 phenomenon. The rest of the leaderboard looks normal though, so I've just suspected they're all doing something virtuous that consistently. That might not be the case though.
I have no complaints. It's just something fun to speculate about.
Thanks @k00b. Again an amazing news letter! This week's biggest contribution IMO came from @leo and he deserves a huge round of applause from all of us.
Top posts are praiseworthy but it was too much of Ecash-Ecash there.
Yes, It's making me feel richer now. I'm ahead of the great @k00b in top stackers list. Just kidding! Actually, I never realised that I could ever be on that list. But I must say a huge thanks to everyone on SN for showering their love to my posts and comments with ordinary stuff.
BTW, I'm not 4th, I'm on the ⁷th but because of hiders, I'm at 4th here so a huge thanks to hiders as well. 😜
You all rock!
A special thanks to @grayruby for running the ~stacker_sports territory. Without it, I couldn't have found my groove.
Eh, I enjoyed hearing from both sides of the ecash debate. It’s an important topic for Bitcoiners these days.
Keep stalking, can i get an amen
Great job as always.
Congratulations to all Top Stackers (@grayruby ,@Rsync25, @Undisciplined ,@Coinsreporter and @k00b )

This is a great site. I’ve been checking in everyday and still missing a lot of cool content so thanks for this news letter. 🙏
Congratulations to the top SN stackers this week. I personally like 'Bubbles to live in', El Salvador report and the Sarcasm post by coinsreporter.
Thanks for the newsletter!
