I know that I get solid value information here on SN from certain knowledgeable stackers
the stackers who provide the value stand out like a sore thumb 👍
Yes, very cool 😎 👌
Positive - like the layout and lots of information, nice SN plugins.
Negative - nothing ui or ux but gives me dystopian kyc vibes 😭.
Nymchat Bitchat vibes on ui too 😎
I always like reading these stackers in the wild stories
Where one of our SN contributors finds new locations to spend their sats
All of these share a similar theme, the stacker is always patient and knowledgeable about lightning
The normally stressed shopkeeper goes from, I haven't got time for this, to at least partly orange pilled
It's almost like we (the shopkeeper and the stacker) are living in two completely seperate worlds
The normie lives in an anxious world with nothing but negativity and depressive dramas
The stacker lives in a positive, world of possibilities
And when the stacker shows the shopkeeper or explains part of our world, they are almost touched by it, they see a glimpse of what could be
Great work 👏 love reading these
The best of both worlds 🌎 start off with a 'trustodial' setup and potentially migrate to a truly self custodial setup. Interesting
A 'true' lightning wallet like Phoenix, no, never
A 'false' lightning wallet.....ark, spark etc, my internet frens tell me there are dedicated alias email providers on ZapStore
Everything comes back to, what is lightning
Whoever gets this job, you can't tell me that journalists these days don't use AI at least to give them a spark of inspiration for their piece
Alright, no-one is stupid enough to copy paste slop straight from grok but asking AI to think about the context, or the political angle, or whatever mood the editor is looking for
Maybe I'm wrong but reading that advertisement, I'd say that was at least inspired with some sloppery
120k is crazy considering it's a charity, no wonder these 'organisations' get a bad name!
I'm just finalising my application now 🤣🤣
If you can't beat them, join them!
Great post Aardvark for uncovering a stone many would rather let be
This reminds me of many forums that we all have seen over the years, whether it's a car club or football team, the vast majority of questions asked could well be answered by using the search function.
In regards to our little corner of the Internet there are some absolute geniuses here with very high level knowledge of Bitcoin and Lightning
Personally for me if I see a post from Optimism, Scoresby, k00b, JS, Darth then I listen more than I talk
Trying to sound like you know it before you do doesn't end well and that is the toll you unwittingly pay
A roasting from a SN OG may sting at first but if you take a breath and re read it usually presents the reasons why it happened
Remember the skeleton boatman in Jason and the Argonauts? The coin you give the boatman is learning what you must know
Souls without payment are doomed to wander the shores for a 100 years before being accepted into SN 💀
Literally saw a post today saying 'Anyone over 40 you don't need two spaces after a period.....that was for typewriters....you are free now 😄'
Sample episode
I picked this one as it looks cool 😎
This podcast episode of Satoshi's Complete Writings, discusses the concept of Proof of Work in Bitcoin,
Congratulations SS,
There is actually a cool podcast by @Fundamentals from Rock paper Bitcoin fame called
Magic internet Math!Magic internet Math!
Could be cool to do some discussions from his pod on your territory
As a comparisonAs a comparison
Early players in the car industry set the standard for future generations
Benz was a pioneer, also separately Daimler and Maybach which ultimately merged with Mercedes
Peugeot Renault and Fiat European major players
Moving to the states Ford Oldsmobile Buick Cadillac General Motors Chrysler
All setting the scene for Porsche Ferrari Lambos Bugatti some of which stem their history back to the original founders
Most notably the argument between Enzo Ferrari and Ferruccio Lamborghini about sticking to tractors
The similarities may not ever be as mainstream but the initial vision for the product and the development of the idea combined with the evolving technology will create what we see in the future 👀
Even now with a multitude of mass produced modern cars to choose from we still see men building kit cars from scratch
Some will buy off the shelf, some will create the shelves, that is the beauty of open source decentralized opportunities 😀
Re-reading this morning less bleary eyed
What's your vision for London UK over the next 5yrs?
I think about your response and my post was too centred on a specific subject, where the reality is 5D chess, with multi-faceted variable factions, jockeying for position in the greatest show on earth
The beginning of the first turning
The new world order, if US China and Russia divvy up the world, where does UK and perhaps western EU get left? as per my question
