Relay had shitty integration with breeze and it was not obvious what’s going on, it was frustrating and funds could stuck , happened to me twice. But they could potentially have a good on chain / lightning wallet. Instead they have implemented mandatory kyc, so I think it’s also contributed to low usage.
- some weird lizard part of my morality engine - humans have lizard part of the brain, but this is not the part where morality engine is located:))
- In Germany the biggest issue is to get permission for this outside unit, if you live in the Appartement building. And installation is so expensive, my friend used to fly people out of former Soviet Union countries just to put it on the wall:) was cheaper that way.
I wonder if US government will sanction specific addresses, will foundary and other pools in US listen? Probably yes, but as I understand stratum V2 fixes it , so miners need to push for it harder and faster)
You had enough time to vibecode an online fax machine where you pay in stats to generate a fax number in real time and receive documents as pdf:)
I’ve installed the fitness coach app with free trial period. Quickly realised it wasn’t what I was looking for. Cancellation was only available through the chat support and you had to go through this embarrassing conversation where they kinda ask you to confirm that you want to remain fat before they cancel)
Well, it’s definitely not the only way:) there are different mixers, like wasabi , or you can remove kyc through lightning or cashu, though if stack is big, it can be quite inconvenient. But why are you so worried about kyc in the 1st place? As long as you have them in cold storage no one can rug you.
Spent two days there – you can do it, but it’s bloody expensive.
(Not sure where you're coming from, but I definitely wasn’t mentally prepared for how much money I ended up spending. Avoid restaurants if you can =))
General impression:
Many merchants don’t really understand the difference between Bitcoin and crypto. The payment terminals seem to offer lots of coins to choose from and merchants do not really care how you pay. You will probably need to help them choose a right coin;)
Payments:
I ended up transferring funds from my node to Wallet of Satoshi to avoid the frustration of long waits. Using Zeus via Tailscale was just too unreliable.
Places:
BTC Map was a super helpful tool. That said, most of the restaurants I visited were expensive. The only cheap spot I found was an ice cream pop-up by the lake. I think McDonald's also accepts Bitcoin, but I didn’t go inside to confirm.
Lido di Lugano is a really nice place. The bar inside accepts Bitcoin, but I believe you still have to pay the entrance fee by card. Maybe they take Bitcoin now too—worth a try 😉
Good luck! 😉
Well, if you are sending the rigs to DC, you are still relying on others, but I get your point. I'm playing with the idea of low cost miner from 2023 that can get you KYC free sats at blockware solutions, something like 200k sats for miner that brings you 160k sats a month for 160USD hosting costs. Seems like same like DCA, but KYC free and if the price appreciates faster than hashrate you can still benefit. Maybe I try it and post about my experience here
Have you considered or had any experience with https://www.sazmining.com or blockware solutions?
Wrong territory, should be ~lol
