I am curious now about Tempo and how they've designed it to convince the government man that it's different than traditional finance flows.

From a previous post on their blog

All TIP-20 stablecoins on Tempo support three functions: pause and unpause to halt and resume transfers, and burn to remove tokens from blacklisted addresses.

Inverse regulatory capture. It's an invitation, "pls capture me, daddy". This is how lame we are today.

It's slop.

Of course it has no use case to them: no way imma give anyone my sats to bail out some banksters.

I expect that it's a typo-scam thing.

It actually exists. chatgbt dot org. Defo something up with that. Ugh

I think that if this stuff makes you in anyway emotional, it's probably better to avoid the subject. If of course it's not brought up by you, @SimpleStacker had a good point. Just relax and ask questions. And try to understand their pov. That alone is even more valuable than them agreeing with you.

Unless they ask you to, I wouldn't recommend to "educate" anyone really. Especially not on those issues. If they're open to learn, they'll ask you for your expert opinion. Realize though that unless your information is first-hand, you're probably not an expert.

It's optional and well buried!

On (geo)political issues? Respect people even if you think they're wrong. Don't argue.

Lol! Yes. Next life imma be an overlord.

Be the problem. 😂

I guess this is why we can't have "nice" things, even though I've never even considered pokemon go.

This is exactly why Bitcoin works and why LN works (in self-custodial forms), but none of the solutions that introduce a third party work. And I think on cashu / fedi you have 2 points where it can go wrong: the mints, and the gateways.

It is therefore always inferior.

Very good catch. If I remove staging. from the given lnurlp, then it works.

Glad I don't work a job where any prediction markets will depend on me.

It happens in any case where people use the fruits of your labor to make money. And people can get really pissy if they believe you can make them rich and you refuse to do so (even if you do it out of spite, you still have the right to refuse). It's unfortunately a fact of life that anons on the internet can become dangerous, and the level of police cooperation really depends on where you are, and your profile/connections.

Therefore, whenever I see people in the Bitcoin space quit due to being on the receiving end of threats, I mostly empathize. Even mild threats can still make you look over your shoulder and generally feel unsafe. Not many jobs are worth that.

i think that this is a systems error. not an account error

same result, so neither you or the hacker can get paid 😂

I guessed your lightning address, used it twice manually, and the url it generates always ends up in user not found. Must be something on their end.

That URL gives a 500 error on coinos side, "user not found":

% curl -v -L "https://staging.coinos.io/api/lnurl/fa1864dd-2d83-44c3-bae7-47379746df23?amount=1000"

5%? I'm in the wrong business.
