I use pheonix wallet and used pheonix wallet to login even when they pulled out of the US (I did close my channel with them though)

idk try it again. I got a 500 at first too. If anything just go to the root of the link and navigate there.

Still works

Tierra Bendta is pretty great.

No not really. I joined SN because I like interacting with lightning (fills me with nerdy glee) and then I liked the technical discussion aspect.

I don't know though. Its weird because even though my goal is to zap away all sats I earn, I still enjoy getting zapped. It fills me with nerdy glee too, but also I look at the sats I get zapped and go "wow people liked my post that much?"

I think zapping sats is like the only way to do "I liked this post so much I wish I could like it twice" without the single like losing its meaning.

I have absolutely no issue with my zap fingerprint.

I chose it because my goal with SN is to not earn sats.

That sort of has me thinking why? Why is my goal to not earn sats? Call it the bias of my recent musings (it probably is), but I think its because when someone zaps me, it feels like they've done me a favor, and much prefer to be owed favors, than to be the one owing favors to others.

Who knows though, maybe that reasoning will change with time.

Anyway. Its 300 because k00b would zap 100 and that was how much I needed to zap given the amount of people I typically zapped in an online session at the time, to drain my account's balance.

Throw in receiving straight to my wallet though and I lose track of exactly how many sats I'm getting anymore so I've become less sure of how many sats I need to be getting out.

I've seen the "true Scottsman" argument brought against any and every attempt to claim "Bitcoiner", but I reject it as do many others for a reason I'll try to explain simply.

Imagine if you will a marketeer who claims to be a sports fan because they sell merchandise of a sports team.

"But do you know who the quarterback is?" "Do you watch the game?" "Do you even know what the rules of the game are"

And that's not to say someone who doesn't watch the game, know the quarterback, or even the rules of football can't be a fan of the team.

So why bother with the purity questions?

Because it's a complete social rejection of the idea that a profiteering parasite can be a fan purely because of their profiteering.

Sure, a true Scottsman can run a business, but no true Scotsman is only a Scotsman because they profit off of Scottish people.

In other words, believe in SOMETHING dammit.

Bitcoiners vary wildly in their beliefs. There are true Bitcoiners who I kid you not believe in communism.

But someone to say they're a Bitcoiner purely because they profit from Bitcoin is not a Bitcoiner, but a profiteerer.

In the words of many of my commenters on my post about literature on favors: "Sounds like communism. You should have spent your Bitcoin with those friends"

I don't understand the assertion. If someone gives you a ride, do you not owe them a favor? If you owe them a favor in what way is that exchange communistic?

I'm not talking about "owing the community a favor" or anything like that afterall.

That's the real beauty of it. Hehehe that's the part I think I really like about it actually. It'll drive the accountants mad lol

I'll explain later the full details. For now, I just want to read through the current literature on favors and how Bitcoiners use them to get around having to spend Bitcoin with each other.

I'll go through the literature on families and how they use favors to get around having to spend money too. And any other literature I can find

Hmm idk, I don't see favors as everyday communism, but rather as social debt.

You "owe me a favor" either a big favor or small favor and if you owe me too many favors I lose trust in your ability to pay back your favors and stop helping you out.

Favors, may well be a sort of socially constructed debt based currency in that way, but I don't want to put the cart before the horse here, I want to have a good bit of research before going into any more detail about what's swirling in my head right now.

What a beautiful trash pit XD

Oh okay, well I don't use web clients so take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen these links go around.

Well it says equivalent in demand deposits, but the demand deposits are rehypothecated. These are just the requirements of a bank.

We need updated meme

I find it ironic that I get forwarded zaps for being a top stacker XD
