10 sats \ 1 reply \ @0fje0 2h \ on: Are you a full-time stacker on SN? meta
A quick scan through the responses to your question so far seems to reveal a consensus that SN probably cannot (yet?) provide for a "full-time living" in most countries.
Something I've been wondering about for quite a while now, is how accurate stackers really track their time spent on (or for) SN. I suspect we don't really want to admit how time-consuming it can become.
Did it ever come off the ground?
Information seems to be rather dated (2022). From their website:
Is Haveno ready? Can we test it?
Haveno is still work in progress, but it’s already possible to do test trades with other people in our test network using stagenet Monero coins, which hold no value. See the instructions. You can test with both crypto and fiat curre
I am glad you are taking the deeper dive and running another implementation of lightning but the reasoning is misguided.
Thanks for being the voice of reason here. Other well meaning stackers have also pointed out OP's misguided reasoning, but I hope to see more posts about the journey anyway.
(And judged by the number of stackers who have zapped OP's post, I sure don't seem to be the only one.)
Neat URL you've got here, taking us to a specific sentence within The Wall Street Journal piece. Never knew that was possible. TIL.
I just have to try that myself. Let's see:
Interesting read, BTW.
Not sure how achievable or sustainable their solution is going to be, but if you need a reason to hope it works out, it may just be this. From the article:
The Department of Homeland Security didn’t put a single open-source advocate on its 22-member AI Safety and Security Board.
While also ...probably a decade or so ago...., I remember someone arguing that one could view BuzzFeed and BuzzFeed News as essentially two different entities, with the latter apparently more trustworthy. Not sure how accurate that was back then -- or if it's still the case today.
It may have been possible back in early 2020 (when this review of the HTC Exodus 1s was published), but as the article actually revealed: even then it was already rather impractical.
The "limitations" they referred to are probably even more limiting 4+ years on.
Anyway, it was still an interesting read. Just no longer all that relevant, I think.
Probably over-hyped. I mean "BIGGEST Crypto Debate In History"?
Could be interesting to watch, though.
Starting today at 7pm ET:
Gaming rewards will be the end of SN
I've been thinking the same thing... Haven't said it, though.
Mark my words.
Thusly (book)marked. :)
A great read, thanks. A commentor below that article wrote:
The most influential thing I ever read was from the Applesoft Tutorial:
"There is nothing you can do by typing at the keyboard that can do any damage to the computer. Unless you type with a hammer. So feel free to experiment. With your fingers."
That brought back some fond memories!
A friend of mine ordered an Apple IIe and had it delivered to me, because he didn't have a fixed address at the time. When it arrived, I phoned him with the news and he asked me to unbox it and "see if it works".
After switching it on, I had no idea how to determine if it worked, so I just literally started to hit every key on the keyboard starting from the top left corner and working my way - very methodically one by one, mind you - down the whole keyboard and watched as the characters appeared on the screen.
Hmmm... So it "works"? I mean, the characters do show up, right?
It wasn't until I came to hit the <Enter> key that the screen suddenly did something: It said "Syntax error." Great, I guess it works!
I saw a familiar name in the credits for this track and wanted to see if it was who I thought it couldn't possibly be. Turns out it is in fact the Snowden.
