I'm surprised Bitcoin Prediction Market is still the top boost. They basically have a front and center ad for $70 on website that sees > 50k uniques a month with an early adopter/generous demo. On a per click basis we're probably talking about pennies.
Our previous manual ad system cost 2m sats/mo and the advertiser was in profit. Crazy.
I'm refactoring our clientside wallet code because it got pretty funky over the last few months. After that more nov-5 doom-coding.
Yes, because SN proxies the invoice. The sender pushes money to SN (SN can't yet settle it without a "cryptographic proof" it only gets when the receiver is paid), SN pays the receiver, then SN settles with the sender.
Both the sender and receiver only need to know about SN and be able to route to/from. Neither lightning node knows who the other node is.
You can send using your private channels to anywhere else, but the only one who can pay you on a private channel is your private channel partner (at least afaik ... given your private channel is with an LSP there might be something else going on).
The only person that can send you money on a private channel is your private channel partner.
Lightning payments are "source routed" meaning that the sender constructs the route. Because those channels are private, if the sender isn't your private channel partner, they can't route to you using those channels.
You're right, the cast was too large. It must be an easy trap to fall into as a writer because they still do it when we all know they shouldn't.
Prometheus definitely has great worldbuilding and can stand on it's own, without relying on the "Alien."
That's perhaps why the official title doesn't have "Alien(s)" in it like all the others.
The franchise specifically.
I thought Prometheus was a bit...weird.
I suspect that's why all the other ones aren't very thought provoking - most people think exploring ideas are weird.
If one is reading for entertainment, sure. Word for word this isn't nearly as entertaining as what the average thoughtful human can produce. In this case, the prompt is where all the entertainment is because it's where all the thoughts are. AI isn't that good yet - it just makes well organized word soup and nearly all of us can do better because we can actually think even if we can't write correctly.
Your cohort helped motivate it. It was super helpful to have a concentration of complaints about our dev experience.
