First, someone has to step up and package the software. Then, said someone has to keep the package up-to-date by keeping an eye on the upstream repositories, testing... All for apps which hardly anyone uses.

In addition, some Linux package repositories don't accept new packages quite as easily as others.

As for FOSS projects not being receptive of bit coin... bitcoin just isn't all that popular. Yes, it's well known, but not well used. I suspect the crypto shenanigans have tainted bitcoin,

Some things just can't be unseen.

The octopus.

Stealth: 90 Land speed: 15 Sea speed: 60 Intellect: 95 Determination (unfuckableness): 67

I would leave it exactly as it is.

Exactly.

Given there's a good chance the BTC would have appreciated in fiat terms during those 5 years, the unrealized capital gains may be greater than the amount paid for the loan.

Kind of like getting a free car.

Interesting.

I do see a couple of obstacles:

What the developers could do to bootstrap the liquidity is focus on slower payments first. For example, paying the rent for a condo or the monthly ISP payment.

I glanced at the Phoenix source code and didn't see a way to disable the warning. There are three warnings bundled together: Tor, FCM, and power saving. https://github.com/ACINQ/phoenix/blob/e73fb0e5aba1e890d141e6433d810ad7ab1f8047/phoenix-android/src/main/kotlin/fr/acinq/phoenix/android/home/HomeTopAndBottom.kt#L233

However, there are discussions about alternatives to FCM:

I've actually been there.

After doing a few by hand I thought, "I can write a Perl script for this." So I did. That's how I got through it.

Government.

There are a number of these multi-sig vault exchange services already.

What makes this one special?

ANY antivirus tool can be instructed to spy on its customers.

It doesn't matter in which country the company or its customers reside.

Yes, if a US antivirus tool gets caught spying on US customers, and it wasn't ordered to do so by the USG, there would be legal ramifications. But does that really matter? Once the customer data has been stolen, its game over. There's no "undo" button for that.

I had the same question.

The only self-custodial Lightning desktop wallet I found is Electrum.

Electrum has its own Lightning implementation designed for desktop use. In other words, It's not a UI which wraps a LND, CLN, etc, node.

Of course, there are risks to mitigate when a Lightning node doesn't run 24/7. The short of it is that if an Electrum Lightning channel is in the state in which funds can be stolen by the other party, then simply run Electrum once every 6-7 days so that it can check for cheating attempts.

That's just a little bit of maintenance to get a really damn good Lightning desktop wallet.

One thing to note is that Electrum has been around for a long time, and thus has been the subject of hacks. So it's important that you download Electrum from https://electrum.org/ and verify the download.

Mantis, from the Guardians of the Galaxy has an amazing superpower. I'd use that to send the scum of the Earth to an asylum, so they will leave the rest of us alone.

Here's a toast, to the hopefuly quick and decisive death of this ecash non-sense.

Don't miss out on the next "Apple" of cryptocurrencies.

Damn, I feel disgusted writing that. May ETH rot in hell.

Bitcoin is the bank.

NixOS framework support is in it's infancy.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty with the command line, what you can do is boot from a well-supported distro's ISO, which probably means Ubuntu. Then, skip the Ubuntu installation and instead mount the NixOS installer ISO and go through the installation process; It consists of creating filesystems, mount points, building your NixOS system from a configuration.nix, and finally installating. All of this can be done from the command line.

I recommend installing the most minimal installation; A terminal text editor and just enough to boot to a login prompt and connect to the Internet. Once you can boot that minimalist installation, you can then proceed with installing everything else. Having a workining minimal installation will save you time.
