Lol weren't the key rocket people that made it all possible Ze Germans like Werner Von Braun?

That's a nice hat.

I would like to know, too.

Just a reminder that SN is my favourite place on the internet and I appreciate all the work that @k00b @sox @Scoresby & co put in. Thank you!

There can be colourful conversations on this site about all sorts of topics, including people not happy with decisions that are made about the actual operation of SN, but this is all part of the melting pot.

I don't know why this article was downzapped so much, but this rings true:
'You can't sell hardware wallets to normies as the ultimate solution and when they get rekt answer "no but you should have checked your RNG method and...".'

Its kind of like...You should run your own Bitcoin node, no I mean lightning node, I mean LND because CLN just had an issue that someone posted on X, I mean you got to rebalance the channels and because your partner force closed because of BIP110, what do you mean you don't have terminal access? You just need to setup a bash script to login and restart your node remotely if it hangs...

My impression in the past from some "Bitcoin purists" is that they parrot and repeat talking points they heard on a podcast but don't understand what it takes to run a business or the reality of social interactions. Ultimately they are after an exclusive social club with highly-disagreeble people like themselves .

How about just giving a few options ranging from custodial to non-custodial and let people decide and learn? Purists can fuck off back to their Rabbit Hole Recap Coldcard and conspiracy theories?

Hate it. There is nothing worth looking at or reading if it did not come from a human experience. Clankers do not comprehend reality.

Its too bad reddit sucks so much now. They have even hidden old.reddit behind a login for some stupid reason, the eternal quest for enshitification.

Spotted the Meta AI convenience store in Shibuya, Tokyo tonight. Apparently it is a opening tomorrow as a kind of escape room / event space for demoing AI tech and fuckign with people.

Is that Soma I spot on the shelf?

No worries - enjoy!

Welcome. I'm heading into Tokyo tomorrow afternoon if you are around for a mini Stacker News catchup etc?

I want to come back and write a more detailed reply later - but for now thanks for going out and doing this research! Have some of my pretend money :).

Lol. The powers that be have decided to send it.

Hey what does --push-amt do?

Also, how do you actually collaboratively close? What is the UX like for that? I only have a basic Lightning node in Umbrel and only see a "close channel" option, I am assuming that is a one-way close. I wonder what collaborative means!

Why is everyone suddenly moving to using Spark? Blink moved over to them as well. Is there something about integrating spark that removes "custodian" legal risk for the wallet operators?

You mean while in the bath? Or while taking a shit? Very different contexts for injesting literature.

Cool, I did know know there was a secrets app in tails, will check it out.

FIRST.

What can I say? A beautiful day here in Japan. Light morning showers followed by glorious clear weather with etched clouds slightly cooler for the Obon season.

Got some writing done and dipped my feet in the ocean even. Saw a friend and printed off a hard copy of my draft manuscript to work through (a change of pace from screens).

Good reminder.

Not dice, I mean the process to generate a raw seed and checksum / turning that into the BIP39 words ... if you know what you are doing cool, but it is not so simple.
