loool thank you!

Hey @JoeNakamoto I want to send you sats, but it looks like I sent you cowboy credits instead! Have you thought about setting up an attached wallet here?

reply

i don't understand what you mean by cowboy credits?

I wrote a quick summary here: #842835

Essentially Stacker News now supports non-custodial zapping, but if either payer or payee do not have connected wallets, then it uses "cowboy credits" instead of actual sats.

tl;dr: connect your wallet with nwc. For example coinos. I wrote a tutorial for that here #808573

reply

Thank you for the explanation. I did setup Coinos with NWC and I can send sats from my Coinos, but I do receive cowboy credits, so probably I can't receive.

I just read the quick summary. If one of the people doesn't have a connected wallet, then the transfer happens in CCs (it will turn sats to CCs if needed). That's probably what happened I guess.

Yes, that's exactly what happens. And then when you are active on SN and doing good stuff you will actually get sats (not CCs) from the daily rewards. So if you receive CCs, then use them actively on SN and you will actually stack sats (maybe even more) and you can then withdraw those.

Earlier this year Stacker.News decided not to hold other peoples' funds in custody anymore. Now, the only way to send sats to one another here is if you have an attached wallet. If you don't have an attached wallet, you'll end up receiving "cowboy credits" instead, which can be used like sats within SN, but not outside of it.

Yes, but it would be good if you add your lightning address to Stacker News so that you can receive real sats for the SN zaps straight to your wallet instead of getting "cowboy credits".

Keep it up Joe, hopefully one day you'll not need sponsors anymore!

reply

You’re like the hero we need but don’t deserve. Thanks for tearing their falsehoods!

reply

Thank you so much for your video. The sad thing of course... is that anyone here on stacker news already knows bitcoin ==// crypto.

Then there is the largish number of people who know that bitcoin ==// crypto but 'don't care' because they want a pump and dump.

Then there are the people (99%) who don't know the difference yet but will eventually. Thank you again and also thanks to Mr Giacomo (wish he joined us here on SN am a huge fan)

reply

This is amazing. You are doing the lords work!

reply

Good man! I hope people outside the Bitcoin community will see your videos!

reply

me too... here's to hoping Youtube puts it in front of them!

reply

Sent this to my nephew yesterday. He replied he had bough the trump coin 🤮

reply

i love how it was all just platitudes about web 3 helping the third world and how bitcoin is slow.

like jesus guys, it's like a bad chatgpt script on loop

reply

Great reporting, Joe.

Hong Kong is the capital of scams, you're at the right place.

reply

Great video! I'm afraid we are going to see more and more of this, and occasionally its leaking in here too. Fantastic to document and expose, to increase awareness.

I think that especially this year, we are going to see more scam "L2" projects on Bitcoin, and Bitcoiners need to be very considered in the airtime they give people "here to save bitcoin (but really to rip everyone off)".

Priceless!

Is the terminology of 3rd, 2nd, and 1st degree scams official jargon? I've never heard of that way of describing it.

reply

no it's just IMO a great way of framing it :)
