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?
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
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".
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)
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)".
