The stocks app that comes preinstalled with iOS can do it.

Before hardware wallets and seed phrases and hd wallets the only way to preserve “access to bitcoins” was to store individual private keys in text files on computers and/or back them up on hard drives.

I guess it’s a fine line between arguing your point and manipulation. Hard to tell in a written post. Either way Instead of arguing about whether it’s manipulation or not I would much prefer to discuss his point. It seems reasonable as a user to be able disable receiving cc’s. Sender just receives an error message. Only a few people would do this but why not at least have the option for people that prefer only bitcoin like @supertestnet

Other than too much to otherwise work on is than any other reason why someone couldn’t have the option @supertestnet describes to turn off ccs for his account?

What are the other ways being discussed to improve user experience?

I don’t think it’s fair to think these are the only reasons @supertestnet might think this. I don’t think he’s trying to manipulate you or thinks any differently of you. In my opinion what he’s asking for is not that unreasonable. I would not go as far as to say cc are shitcoins but I can see how one might not want them. Either way, interesting conversation and good luck with everything moving forward.

Ha glad you changed it. Stacking is much better than staking.

Staking or stacking?

Sparrow and electrum can both do this. You can involve a coldcard as well if you want a device specifically designed to never connect to the internet.

Got it. Thanks

Your post says you charge zero fees at 21k locations turning bitcoin into cash. I ask how do you make money if you don’t charge fees. You say we offer other services. I say like what. You say we offer buying bitcoin through our atm network(which according to the original post has zero fees). You sound sketchy. Do you have an answer to the question “how do you make money and/or fund your operation?”

It sounds like strike tried to make the payment but couldn’t find a suitable route because you didn’t have enough inbound liquidity(or another unknown reason). Not sure why phoenix showed 2 different numbers but if it was in fact on 250k sats then the 350k sats payment to your node would always fail.

What did the doctor prescribe the depressed lesbian?

Tricoxagen.

My understanding is the 1 percent is suggested but the peers can decide what they want it to be. Each side maintains the reserve as a percent of the total capacity. If one side starts with a zero balance the protocol makes sure that node works toward the reserves as payments happen.

Gm Darth and gfy!

I spend bitcoin as much I can and have read your guides many times about orange pilling merchants and have made that a primary of goal of mine the past couple years and will continue to do so in the coming years. I wish it would happen faster and I was in a position to live my life spending only bitcoin like you. I will be in that position sooner rather than later. Pray for me and everyone else to succeed faster at orange pilling merchants. Your insults will push me to work harder and faster. Gfy.

The bitcoin blockchain is 700 GB right now so you will need at least 1 tb which would last you a couple years maybe. 2 tb would be good for much longer. You can order a samsung evo 2tb internal hard drive and its fairly simple to replace the 256 GB with it. Or you could use the external 4 tb you already have.

Dell optiplex 9020 goes for around $100 bucks and downloads and syncs the blockchain in about half a day. I used to try using rasp pi 4’s but almost always had bad experience. I would highly recommend spending a bit more money and get a small form factor computer like the 9020.

Here’s another post agreeing with me. #186832

This is a great project and I enjoy reading your posts and spreadsheets.

I'm interested in learning more about why you seem sure this consensus is forming and amongst whom it is forming. Keep up the good work.

I didn't set any wallet up but I did get zapped 5000 sats and change so where do those sats go?

One of those libertarian things that is a good thing but we still don't want the government mandating it for us.
