‘While the US dollar may create an exorbitant privilege for certain American constituencies, this status creates an exorbitant burden for the US economy overall, especially for the vast majority of Americans who must pay for the corresponding trade deficits either with higher unemployment, more household debt, or greater fiscal deficits.’

Dollar hegemony suits plenty of countries (and not just the US) so don’t expect it to go without a fight from lots of unexpected allies.

Hi @adam_coinos_io, I haven't been able to spend since yesterday. I can get paid!

could it be SN's problem? I managed to zap @expatriotic. /cc @ek

What could be SN's problem? That you can't pay from coinos? But you said you were able to zap expatriotic? I assume that was on SN? 🤔
reply
I only had trouble (and still have trouble, although I can test again) with coinos. Was able to post the ~events post about Lake Satoshi 45 minutes later once I could grab my Zeus wallet and finish the post... Then I bought some Commy Coins so I wouldn't have that issue ever again

i don't know if it has to do with the zap value, it was failing with 100 sats a few hours ago and now it worked with 33. i'll try a zap of 100 in your comment. I think adam must still be asleep!
edit @ek The 100 zap worked! I suspect it's the SN. adam must not have restarted the node! Ahahah

It looks like just a liquidity issue, neither SN nor coinos is specifically to blame. It's just a lack of channel management somewhere in the lightning network.
But I guess we could open even bigger channels but we already have quite some big private channels afaik ...

Can I change my secret? It could be compromised! Have you seen any suspicious activity on my account? /cc @adam_coinos_io

Same... I literally just bought some Commy Credits with Zeus wallet so I could post...

I think you need to open your Zeus wallet to receive sats since zaplocker uses HODL invoices. A few zaps from me to you are still settling which means that I paid but your node didn't reply with the preimage yet (or a node on the route to be fair).
I thought my node failed and zapped you a few times more lol
reply
haha... yeah, that's the only pain point. I literally was dming Evan about this and kept zapping while screen recording. later he's like, yeah thanks bro I got all those, that's just how zaplocker works.
Unfortunately I only get 24 hours to check

Unfortunately I only get 24 hours to check
I think even 24 hours is way too long lol
It locks up the liquidity in all channels on the route for 24 hours ...
edit: thank you for opening your wallet, my payments to your node settled now lol

unfortunately I don't have another LN wallet!

What would you give your life for? It’s an important question, not in just a hypothetical sense.
Because that’s what you’re doing - giving your life - every day.

Is a horse for good posts and gun for zapping a lot? When I posted a lot, I could find a horse. Now I've switched to zapping more, I got a gun.
Or... Is it all random lol
Would be cool to optimize for the kit you want. Or to know what to do to get a single missing piece of kit. If one cared about such things 👀

Is the .onion down?
When i open https://stacker.news in tor browser, i get the "onion site available" badge (based on the onion-location http header). Clicking it leads to snsnsnya6h3ot563f3p566wuhfoklkg5f62hokdlaqzcaub3gf4xlxyd.onion which is the same address mentioned in #44254
However, it's been down for me the past couple of days.

It is very likely that it is down because it's very unreliable and we didn't have the time to look into it yet. I think it breaks on every new deployment.
