120 sats \ 0 replies \ @Porto OP 15 Oct 2022 \ parent \ on: Gift.Cash - Bitcoin Gift Card Infrastructure bitcoin
Great feedback, thanks! Yes we'll give BTC so people can use them directly, and we'll incentivize self-custody.
Our goal is to make companies like swagbucks.com offer BTC payouts instead of Amazon US gift cards/Paypal. We think these companies' backend are integrated with APIs to generate these gift cards. We picked "gift cards" as a wording on our solution as we think it would make it easier to sell the idea to companies like Swagbucks.
But after posting and seeing quite a few misunderstanding, we'll certain re-think on the wording.
TBH, we're engineers, terrible with copy and english is not our native language, so it's been quite a ride :)

17 sats \ 0 replies \ @Porto 28 Jul 2022 \ on: Brazil Plans To Put Percentage Of Treasury Into Bitcoin = Tax Breaks For Miners bitcoin
I'm Brazilian and sorry to inform that I'm extremely skeptical regarding this.
  1. Corruption is huge in Brazil. If gov isn't having direct benefits they won't make any change.
  2. Energy in Brazil is really expensive ~0.19usd per kwh so mining here isn't very profitable
  3. Yes we do have a lot of sun and solar should be a good investment but import tariffs are also extremely high (at least 50% of price!)...

I'm a happy customer of Swan. You can upload a wallet xpub to Swan and every week it transfers to your address. You always receive an email confirming the destination address and there's no withdraw fees (you don't even pay mining fees!).
20 sats \ 0 replies \ @Porto 23 Jul 2022 freebie \ on: Why Fountain podcast starts to suck. bitcoin
I think they are in the right path. But IMO there are some hard things that should be fixed:
  • The UX is really bad. I'm always kinda lost and it's not intuitive. Fountain should simply copy the UX of other podcast apps.
  • Fountain is a battery killer and phone gets really hot with use
I love Overcast and I'm a happy paying customers (I don't actually use any of the paid features, just trying to help the dev). Their UX is pretty slick and the "smart speed" feature is really good. I hope they will add lightning at some point in the future.

Does anyone know a good website / video explaining the major differences between the lighting implementations out there? I'm getting started and finding it hard to choose between lnd, c-lightning and eclair.

a group (federation) that issues an asset that represents BTC and can be send and received inside the federation. It's not a sidechain nor layer-2. There's no blockchain.
Somewhat kinda like Liquid and L-BTC (in terms of peg in and out), but no liquid blockchain. And you can make lighting transaction across federations.
