Curious to know, what is the biggest threat to your Bitcoin? #703554

Usually my referrals die off after a while, catapulting me to square one, but it seems that some peeps amidst my 38 referrals are still posting and commenting strong on Stacker News. In fact, my referral rewards have surpassed the ones I earn from my own writing. I now routinely receive 1000 sats per day, which is not life-changing but enough to buy half a cup of coffee and enable my caffeine addiction.

Ngl, I’m writing this so that the Universe will send more referrals my way. I’m not greedy; I’m just aiming for one free cup of coffee per day.

I was kind of waiting to see if @OneOneSeven was going to claim the bounty, as that would send me in the foo-fightin' direction for next "week." He did get the first two though, so I guess I'm deciding right here and now to do that anyway.

Also, I've been kind of distracted with this:

I'll explain more later, but long and the short of it is, I'm very excited for halloween this year.

Apologies to anyone that read the slap-happy version of this comment before I thought to re-read and subsequently edit.

I think we need to solve the last one, but I'm kinda stumped lol.

50 sats \ 2 replies \ @jasonb 27 Sep

Somebody figured it out, because those 7000 sats you sent are gone and it wasn't me. They haven't claimed the bounty though, which I find odd. If I haven't shared yet, a clue is that there are only two words in the seed-phrase. It's similar to the "bacon" wallet in that regard.

Okay, I've had another 'ah ha' moment, or rather an 'omg DUH' moment.

Do you count 'clean' (on the BIP list) inside of cleaner as a word? Or only standalone words?

41 sats \ 0 replies \ @jasonb 27 Sep

They’re both standalone words.

The millennial in me really doesn’t like phone calls so I’m reading this now

While we all agree that phone calling is a big no-no, the use of voice notes has split the younger generations. In the Uswitch survey, 37% of 18-34s say voice notes are their preference of communication. In comparison, only 1% of 35 to 54-year-olds prefer voice messages over a call.

I also don’t like voice messages

69 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 27 Sep

I am not a millennial but I generally prefer email or text over phone calls other than in situations where a quick call would resolve or clarify an issue much faster than back and forth emails and texts. Millennials and Gen Z need to learn sometimes it is easier to just pick up the phone for 2 minutes.

My closest friend is the CFO of a publicly traded company in Canada and this is a big gripe of his in working with younger generations.

64 sats \ 1 reply \ @jasonb 27 Sep

I was born in '81 (Star Wars generation), but definitely identify more with Gen X than Millennial, and it's partly because of this very thing. I just need that human connection of hearing someone's voice more often than not.

67 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 27 Sep

We aren't too far apart. I am a bit older than you. I guess I am a late gen X and you are an early millennial.

@k00b @ek has there been any consideration to adding MFA to stacker accounts? Not just alternate authentication methods, but step-up authentication. It would seem pretty important for stackers that have high balances (or high balances on linked wallets), and also for territory owners. Ideally TOTP that can be configured with an open source authenticator app.

I'll work on installing graphène os on my phone this weekend. Isn't it ironic that they only support Google phones?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 27 Sep

I heard it's because Google Pixels have the best hardware support for security features.

I think you can use GrapheneOS on any device, it just might not work as well.

I hate that Primal still doesn't support remote sign-ins. Copy pasting your nsec is an anti pattern we should get away from.

Thanks for the reminder, we have remote signing in the pipeline but I wanted to look if simply using ndk would make the code easier to maintain.

The biggest, general mistake companies make is prioritizing the short term interest of the company over the interest of the customer. The interest of the customer is the long term interest of the company.

Sharing a few new things I learned from the inflation:

People would change to whatever jobs offer a higher salary, and it's really bad for small businesses, e.g., my dentist's assistant resigned to somewhere that offers a higher salary then she ended up quitting the new place in 10 days, it's so bad that people would leave someone nice and willing to teach you anything to somewhere simply offer you high payment while ignoring anything else.
Another story is I got in touch with one guy working in the apartment I was living in, and seemingly MOST staff got changed, only he is still working there; he said that because the salary isn't high, so people changed jobs, but then I was like, but the residents are paying quite a lot of management fee monthly, where is all the money goes? My feeling is that some businesses will increase the price in the name of inflation ( -> more profit ), but the people who actually do the work and suffer the most get the least part of the cake.
