Waiting for Ocean to do something like this too!

I haven't seen anything similar to this mentioned anywhere. And I seriously doubt it would be even entertained. If you are interested in getting sats for viewing ads, consider installing https://addslice.com/

And allow logging in with nostr or LNURLauth on Kagi itself. @vladquant, you could use stacker news' integration of these for an idea of how it could be done.

Hey Vlad. Awesome to see you on here. I've been using Kagi for years now and appreciate all the ongoing updates. One thing that would be amazing to integrate (and would go a long way towards user privacy) is Login with Lightning (LNURL-auth) or login with Nostr. This is something that is available for Stacker News and allows you to easily login just by scanning a QR code from your favorite compatible Lightning wallet.

I'm waiting for this to come to Kagi because currently at work it is too much trouble to type in my email address and then whip out the password manager to type out my randomly generated password. It would be much better to use scan the Login with Lightning QR code and login automatically with that. I think I have a video somewhere showing how simple this is to use, but I'm sure developers on here would love to help as well.

This would go a long way to anonymizing accounts because you wouldn't even need to associate an email address with the account at all.

I used to do Zwift a ton in the winter before having a kid! Hope to get back into it.

https://www.mutinywallet.com/ has gifting too. Works very similar to the River Link. Free if using a self-hosted Mutiny Wallet.

I thought they'd automatically get added in if they met the criteria of the top 500 largest US publicly traded companies, but I guess there is actually some sort of a selection process. I understand how you don't want to often have to swap the companies at the tail end of the 500 largest as that could change on a daily basis. But, if a company like MSTR jumps well above the 500 level, then I don't see how it can't be added in

I own MSTR in my 401k since I can't own real BTC. It so far as performed great. I could sell a bit and move it into one of the ETFs, but I'd rather continue to play with the leverage that MSTR offers as I feel we are at the beginning of a bull run here.

For me it would depend on whether I'm poor but still able to provide my family with the things we need OR poor and starving to death. My ideology would change if it was a matter of survival.

If it was a 6102 situation I would not give up my keys.

I agree with you. I wish one of the US politicians would really have the guts to do what Milei is doing. I'd vote for that person in a heart beat. I'm not advocating for this, but what we'd need first in the US is some serious hyperinflation, otherwise the average person would not vote someone into office that would take away their "benefits." I'm thinking that we'll sooner see a guaranteed basic income as an election promise from one of the future democrats than a candidate that will promise to cut government programs. That candidate would probably win in a landslide because who wouldn't turn down "free money." It wouldn't be any different than offering bribes as you walk to the poling booth, but in this case would be allowed to be legal.

The Keynesian's that run the country will say that will move the US into a recession if not a new depression.

Doing nothing? That's what I used to think too and how I lost some on Celsius. The BTC gains purchasing power as fiat around it loses value. Now I just buy, hold, and spend as needed but my low time preferences are reduced as I realize that I'm going to be needing to sell BTC to buy whatever I want. Is it that important or should I wait until it gets cheaper?

Too bad eCash on Fedimints and Cashu are not fungible. Then you'd be able to decide what trust model you want to take with your Layer 3 bitcoin. Interoperability between Fedi and Cashu would be awesome.

This article is from 2013 but seems just as relevant today as then:

and more recently: Why You Should Stop Reading News

Maybe I missed something, but what did bitkit do in the past for people to get this impression about it?

I kind of like Parman's sats symbol, a 2 and a 1 overlaid.

Excited to see the continued growth. I'm one of the "early adopters" and struggle to use any other search engine now. Kagi is just that good. I'll be wearing one of those shirts. It genuinely seems like it is meant as a thank you to the early supporters, though hopefully will also be some advertising for them too.

The merchandise might be the first advertising that they do. As of now, all the advertising has been organic through word-of-mouth.

That's true but the stated reason for slowing down older models was because degraded batteries caused issues with reliability of the phone. This process still happens now but I think there is at least a message that pops up telling you what is happening and you have the option to turn that feature off. The fine was for making that software change without alerting the user.

The really nice part about Strike though is that it is super easy to get the limits raised. I reached out to Strike on X and within 30 mins had my limits increased. In Jack's latest blog post, he mentions how they will have no limits for loyal users and higher limits for everyone.

This is in comparison to CashApp which has hard limits of $2000/ day and $5000/week on-chain and $999/week on Lightning. I've talked to support a bunch to try and get those limits raised so that I can do more direct deposit with them and so far they have refused to budge.

My limits were raised to $10,000 per day, $15,000 per week on Strike.

That makes sense. I missed the fashion part/ design esthetic

I had a Powerbook that used for about a decade. It was what I used up until my current M1 Pro MBP. Maybe Apple makes older functional products look old, but that could be because of the features on the newer models rather than a sinister programming to stop your older product from working.
