wait wait... It's made out of foam, yet it's
golden? wtf is this shit?That’s exactly what shit/meme coins are, just hot air dressed up like something valuable!
Fake it until you rug it.
I can't stop sharing this video 😂

😂 Probably NFTs he bought and now he's just shilling them 🤣
FYI @k00b didn’t get any territory revenue with the 12am ct rewards.
Thanks, he will look into it when he's back online
look's crossposting isn't working either. Or is maybe just my browser?
do you get an error?
no error. when I click the post button, the page does not (re)load (no yellow bar at the top), no redirect to /top, and the post button stay deactivated. I had to check the ~Design/top to doublecheck if the post has been posted or not. It turn out it was.
Ahh, ohh, but I think we don't wait for crossposting to finish on post, so that should be unrelated.
Did your crosspost not succeed?
yes cross post did not suceed. but no error on page. Not sure is then related with the nostr extension. I might try to log our and log in again.
Sorry, crossposting has not seen a lot of love for months or even a year, so I would not be surprised if there's something broken.
We will overhaul it later this year.
Sounds good.

Ok I’m pretty sure bull run is back in Austin, minus the normies this time around. More on this theory Friday on SNL.
huge db migrations suck nards
What's the total size?
On the order of the number of payments to, through, and from SN, custodial and not. Probably 10s of millions of rows migrated roughly.
The hardest part is we're going from low detail to high detail and that we need to not destroy information in process despite some of the data being mostly historical at this point. e.g. referrals used to earn you a portion of a stacker's zaps, so every time they were zapped we gave you money. or, at one point 50% of a sybil fee went to rewards and the other 50% went to the territory founder. I'm having to find analogous representations of these things in the new schema or add defunct stuff to it.
Ah, I can see how that'd be annoying
Hey @ek my failure rate for zaps has been abnormally high
What do you think is causing this? Should I reset my NWC? The arrow for sending stays red for some odd reason.
Reseting won't hurt.
If you want to know what went wrong, Alby Hub's logs might also have useful info. If your channels are Tor channels, sometimes that'll cause intermittent issues which tend to clear up after awhile.
If these zaps are to one stacker in particular, it might be a problem on their end.
I’ll give it a reset it’s just been random failures mostly with zaps and new posts
If that doesn't fix it, let me know and we can investigate more. It could be a lightning network thing - like a liquidity problem or a flakey channel.

don't do it
someone said it in the lab 2 times today and I was like what the heck is it

To me, it doesn't make sense that Bitcoin Lightning⚡ hasn't achieved a high level of adoption 🤔
no offline receive, must manage liquidity, to start you have to open a channel, you can't just receive a little zap.
sure wallets are solving all of these problems in different ways, but the clunkiness is still there. one must be pretty motivated to persevere to the point where everything feels easy.
For an average user who uses Wallet of Satoshi (WoS), there are no such technical difficulties.
If you ask me, using lightning in a custodial way is not adoption. Lightning is engineered to enable self-custody, but if you choose not to, you’re not really using lightning. It’s just like saying “people buying and holding bitcoin on exchanges is adoption.” Sure, in some way it is, but is it really though? Is it the adoption we care about?
So you basically answered your own question why there has not been more adoption. You haven’t even adopted it yourself.
ah, yes, i see that. but I'm not really sure what WoS has to offer over PayPal in that case...
maybe it's that you can send international more easily?
really makes you think
Mysterious things.
can't shoot sats, can't get shot
LNServer is truly something, thank god for CCs
I assume LNServer is your LSP?
I can recommend private channels to SN.
Yeah it’s been a year with LNServer as LSP and got downtime 10 times at least. I literally forgot about my node lol, I have to fix this
It is a private channel though, do you have other LSPs you can recommend?
Do you have a private channel to SN?
Oh wait, you mean a private channel TO sn's node.
No I didn't do that, but I could move some funds around and get it done. Why didn't I think of this? Thanks!
Say out loud, 'This is not our iron'.
make your mark on the next STACKER NEWS ZINE coming out on Friday:
buy a block, write a message.
we can simulate a fight over the size of your message if you like
I just bought a block :)
Let’s go!
What does this mean?
this was a joke attempt
Can I buy a 2x2 square, or even buy all 8 for a full page ad?
you can buy up to 2 blocks, i just made that possible on the zaprite form

Be very vigilant to the use of the word "harm". That is a frequently used word in these communities, that certain actions or words cause "harm", and it's a quick hop and step from "harm" to "violence". I know because my wife works in a field that is adjacent to this all this (the disability community)

No doubt!
We must keep looking...
Would be sick if we could see live when someone edits their comment.

We've been discussing it. It'll happen - as will live zaps.
and live post in recent page?
to hell with it, Live everything!
I can zap again! Here's some sats for all of you.

That would be great

Hate to say it but chatGPT writes better emails than I do!
It doesn't. You only think that it does.
Hahah
Stay ahead, don’t fall behind. Or you’ll be standing there like a damn rock!
@k00b lol, better late than never
We were at 499 so I thought I might as well be the 500th. Looks like we've had an unstar since then though.
boom 500
ah, oh
Day 630 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 492 sats on 16Sep2025!
