look's crossposting isn't working either. Or is maybe just my browser?

20 sats \ 5 replies \ @ek 2h

do you get an error?

20 sats \ 4 replies \ @deSign_r 2h

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.

20 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 2h

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?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @deSign_r 1h

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.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 1h

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.

huge db migrations suck nards

What's the total size?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 8h

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.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @SimpleStacker 8h

Ah, I can see how that'd be annoying

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @BlokchainB 9h

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.

59 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 9h

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.

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @BlokchainB 9h

I’ll give it a reset it’s just been random failures mostly with zaps and new posts

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 9h

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.

To me, it doesn't make sense that Bitcoin Lightning⚡ hasn't achieved a high level of adoption 🤔

150 sats \ 3 replies \ @Scoresby 7h

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.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Maximux 7h

For an average user who uses Wallet of Satoshi (WoS), there are no such technical difficulties.

132 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 5h

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.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Scoresby 5h

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?

Are you seeing declining enrollment? Ultimately, that's what reins it in.

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?

Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker.

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)
