One year of building SATOSH.EE 🎉

A Bitcoin-native marketplace for gift cards and discounts, built in public — the wins, the mistakes, and the unexpected lessons.

From gift cards, discounts, Open Source Culture and zapvertisement experiments… to a hack, hosting nightmares, slow traction, and literal Proof of Work to keep going.

The recap covers the good, the bad, and the ugly: what worked, what didn’t, and why it’s still worth pursuing.

Read all about it 👇 https://satosh.ee/blog/satosh-ee-1-year-recap/

Did you saw this one about the symbology of the "Wizard of Oz" ? Originally posted by Mark Passio here but the quality is really bad.

This is a version in spanish. Really really interesting.

Someone remind @DarthCoin that sats were made to be spent!!

0 sats \ 9 replies \ @DarthCoin 3h

I spend my sats wisely not when you want it and how you want it. And I've told, SN is not by far any circular economy or an important thing in bitcoin adoption. Is just an online game. Real bitcoin use cases happen OUTSIDE of your SN square-head.... And your 14M sats are just virtue signaling for nothing. Absolute peanuts in a vast ocean.

0 sats \ 24 replies \ @optimism 6h

Just tell them you screen-captured the BOLT11 and sent it to me over signal. No way that that can be disproved.

Do cycle your channels and keys.

100 sats \ 23 replies \ @BlokchainB 5h

Hahaha cycle? What’s that

123 sats \ 22 replies \ @optimism 5h

Close existing channels
Send your remaining sats to wasabi and mix it
Uninstall whatever you use now or generate new keys if it lets you
New software install (if you had to uninstall)
Open new channels with freshly mixed sats.

Now no one knows if you're you, me, petertodd, or a north korean hacker - because apparently no one else does this.

The whole comment, even that you say it as joke, show how rotten is your statist mind, that you cannot end the year without thinking about paying taxes... in that serious shity situation you were indoctrinated.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @BlokchainB 5h

And that’s your opinion. I respect it but I disagree. This is why I don’t call you names or get all aggressive with you. I don’t think the state is this large faceless monolith that is forever evil as you do.

If you truly want to live in a lawless location that has unlimited freedom then renounce your place of residence and tough it out foreal. Don’t fake it go all the way in.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 5h

live in a lawless location

Exactly that is the definition of statism. You are so indoctrinated that you cannot imagine. You gave no idea what is freedom...

You can have my signature if it comes to it! But I recommend declining this offer because once they see the shit opti writes you'll find yourself in an undisclosed location in El Savador with no windows, no visitation rights, and no lube.

Thanks optimism but no signatures will be needed. Dying in jail for not paying taxes is a lame way to go out . I’ll just pay what the IRS ask then start a super pac and make the IRS bend the knee!!

How come the two most popular secp256k1 implementations in Golang (decred and go-ethereum) are from shitcoins, and LND uses one of them? 🧐

Mhhh, if I really cared, there would be a way to use libsecp256k1 in Golang ...

/cc @optimism

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 8h

Sure you can ffi

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 8h

Sorry, updated my comment after I did some research myself first before asking you, haha

With FFI, you mean this? Never did anything like that, might be a good time now.

According to my research, FFI can also mean "free from infection", haha

Edit: Oh, that's apparently literally what go-ethereum did:

Package secp256k1 wraps the bitcoin secp256k1 C library.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 7h

With FFI, you mean [foreign function interface]?

YES!

Never did anything like that, might be a good time now.

It's also what all these Rust->Dart repos do; maybe that's a more useful skill these days than C->golang. Lotsa people poop on C and go these days and while optisaur is a C(++) coder that loves doing things in golang (as a python/java replacement), that's probably not a great skillset if you're not close to retirement, especially since all the rust people make promises that are just an .unwrap() away from disaster. But then imagine having Claude or Gemini building you some code with malloc().

that's apparently literally what go-ethereum did

I feel that as long as something is foss and it is maintained, we should not care too much about shitcoiners. If it were to force us into ethereum then it would be a different story of course.

Writing good content should never feel like a chore.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 10h

I always write what I have in mind. I don't care if is good or bad (from POV of others). It is what it is in my mind.

But yes, sometimes, I take long hiking walks and just think about a subject I want to write. Walking in silence makes you clear your mind from any distractions and focus on the subject, sometimes you see answers that you never thought about before.
