They are most likely going to raise interest to 8 or 9% which will crash pensions, real estate, everything. And then be like "this is why we need cbdc and negative interest so this can never happen again" u have been warned :) I am a big dollar maxi until everything has crashed

Before you say that won't happen because the US government has so much debt well they will do QE to cover the gov intetest payments while everyone else has to fend for themselves. It's going to get ugly imo. But let's see.

Holly satoshi! I got 25 SN referrals (only) today!

33 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b 11 Jan 2023

I was wondering where those were coming from!

LOL and they keep coming 😂😂😂😂 I must revoke that link soon. I wonder if they are legit users or just "milkers". Can you add a feature to see who are the referrals?

Where did you share it?

On my TG channel where I post only my guides. https://t.me/btcguides So I did a funny test today sharing a SN invite link with 210 sats credit. Must be some of my good readers...

Hopefully. Could also be someone also draining your invite faucet.

That's kinda lame. Only for 210 sats? People are so desperate to get 210 sats? I really wish they will be SN good readers and posters.

They'll sign up with a bunch of throwaway email addresses for smaller amounts too - 100 sats even.

I hope they are good stackers too.

Today i learned that a Swedish couple, protesting against their country's naming laws, tried to name their child Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssql-bb11116, to be pronounced "Albin"

Can we have the follow feature here on stacker news? Like if i like what a specific person is sharing or have shared over some time, i can follow them for updates/alerts when they share something new! I think that’d be useful here. Thoughts? @k00b

Who do you want to follow and what kind of update/alert do you want?

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @av 11 Jan 2023

For instance, say i want to follow you or @sn channel to get alerted about new updates related to sn or say someone is sharing valuable content here (not necessarily their own + maybe not many people find what they share valuable and it get lost in top content or doesnt show up there) but i personally like it and would want to be updated w what they’re sharing. A follow option would be nice to have so that i dont have to manually search for their username and it gets shown somewhere in our profile feed!?!?

Not sure if that’d be good idea but was just brainstorming. I use this platform as a place where i can share things which i’d like to go back again and read so most of what i share here are my fav articles or research papers or poems which earlier used to get lost in browser tabs. And i’d like to thank u for that as well. Here i can come anytime and find the text and go to link to read plus if someone else likes it they can even pay, it’s like cherry on top for me!

I see, so you want the content of people you follow to get ranked higher on your feed?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @av 11 Jan 2023

Correct! Do u think it’d be nice?

5 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 11 Jan 2023

It could be. Reddit has this but people don't really use it. I think it might sound more useful than it is.

Our current ranking algorithm measures trust between users. Once every user has their own feed, this begins to make more sense.

Found this thread on /r/personalfinance so sad 😥: My Country's Currency is Literally Drowning, Please Help (Egypt). Scary how fast things can unwind.

It appears to be in some kind of moderator purgatory.

Edit: whoops missed the bot comment.

I set up an account on sats4likes today. The platform lets you earn in sats by performing actions such as subscribing/following, liking, and commenting/quote twitting on Youtube, Twitter, Telegram and other relevant social media platforms.

We just recently launched Bitcoin Tip Cards on https://lightsats.com 🎉

And now we're working on allowing users to create their own customized tip cards like this:

These are the ones I created using an image from https://www.nogood.store if you haven't checked them out I highly recommend, you can also follow them on Twitter on @nogoodnode

Here's the link to the image: https://www.nogood.store/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/nogood_collab_003.jpg

With these Tip Cards, it allows us to remove the authentication process for new users, where they can simply scan the QR Code on the card and be redirected to the landing page where they see the funds to be claimed and go through a Lightning Onboarding so a new user can completely follow through steps to download their first Lightning Wallet and withdraw their sats to their custody.

These tip cards are combined with our Bulk Tip Creation feature, so you can create multiple tips with an x amount of sats and be able to print them and give them away.
