Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Nostr has a hello world spam attack going on right now
Nostr 🌈
1 Day since infection.
Billy tried and failed you all.
See you on the other side...
Did nothing yesterday, got this badge:
What am I suppose to do now?
If your equality operator doesn’t work, thinking well has to be next to impossible.
Imagine the menu of a chef that thinks oranges = onions.
There's your problem, equality operator is
==. The chef was using onions where oranges were supposed to be.None shall survive!None shall survive!

Another one bites the dust.
Never fear, stackers, I'm researching a cure
I need to discover and deploy the cure soon before there are no more uninfected stackers left!
We want to be elsewhere. Any elsewhere could be ours. Some elsewhere is always better. No elsewhere is best.

I need that fucking clunker to carry my rock boulders and wood logs not to sit in that chair staring to the monitor.

Here's a three-step exercise:
Step 1: Write down your 25 most important goals.
Step 2: Circle your top 5.
Step 3: The remaining 20... avoid them at all costs.
Here's the mental trick that crushes most people: those 20 discarded goals aren't your "B list." They're your list of deadly distractions. They're enticing enough to steal your time, but not important enough to change your life. Perhaps we think, "I'd better work on the top 5 and leave the other 20 for later." The answer is devastating:
"No. Everything you don't circle just becomes your 'avoid at all costs' list. Don't give them any attention until you've succeeded with your top 5."
Why it works (and why it hurts to apply): The human brain isn't designed for this ruthless clarity.
We love keeping options open. We like to think we can do everything "eventually." But focus isn't about available time; it's about cognitive energy.
Every unfulfilled goal on your radar consumes mental RAM. Every half-finished project drains momentum from what truly matters.
The 5/25 rule forces you to kill your good intentions so your big dreams can breathe.
It's not magic. It's conscious renunciation.
What makes this rule powerful isn't the list of five priorities. That's the easy part. The difficult, transformative part is the discipline of systematically saying "no" to everything else.
It needs to be understood better than anyone: the opportunity cost isn't just the time you waste. It's the life you don't build while you're busy being "productive" on secondary things.
The 5/25 rule isn't magic. It's focus. And focus is the secret weapon of those who go far.
I just found a new game and I'm gonna be playin all day
skribbl.io
it's pictionary online

sounds right. Except "they" don't have to control my definition of bad.
#BecomeUngaslightable.Has anyone done testing with hardforks for LN? If not, we might need to build a test suite for this.
What's the need to hardfork? This term is overused lately...
To me there is none; never has been. BCH didn't have to be a hardfork, that was just egos overestimating their own importance. But in today's environment some people have a hardon for hardforking. Some even write BIPs, to confiscate coin or to confiscate jpegs. It will always be contentious.
No matter which camp forks first, it would be good to have a set of tested methods to maintain channels in the face of adversity, no matter who the fork originates from. We know that channels are vulnerable because you have an ongoing relation with a counterparty, not just a single event like paying someone straight.
We need to understand how to deal with it, before a hardfork happens, so that we can be properly prepared. We're already late in the game and I was hoping there was just some repo out there with someone gaming this out in a set of reproducable scripts. But if there is none, then it shall be made.
you first :)
If that means "no", then sure, I'll reserve time.
It could be fun testing, but not sure how. Maybe creating a dummy testnet network and open a bunch of channels on it then fork it and see what happen...
It could be messy because by forking you must create a new type of address, but the contract signed previously for the LN channel is with an old address. So idk, will change also the address? I do not have such technical expertise, but will be interesting to see.
Yes i was thinking scripting it completely on regtest
that would be interesting for me to know. I've been playing with Zeus and Electrum on testnet, both have obvious limitations. For what I know is possible to run LND in testnet locally, not sure how though.
I'll work on setting up a framework with LND and regtest.
Maybe it is doable to just extend the Core python test framework to also orchestrate the lightning side. Will have to study it a bit.
You could use mutinynet with that lnd. Just edit the config file to point to that testing network.
Then you will need to fork it. The thing is that you will need to simulate or run some various LN nodes on those both chsins.
What's the infected badge all about?
I too am trying to figure it out (without looking at the source code)
Something to do with hot or top posts I think.
The only thing I know is I showed up yesterday after a whole week out, and I immediately got infected for no reason. Then I just heard there's no cure for this sh*t. Watch yourselves, lol!
Zombie apocalypse. Guns, horses and hats seem to help protect you, but no one is immune.
To own or not to own my territories forever is the question?!?
I'll be buying ~econ in full at the end of the year.
I'd like to feel you out on eventually making ~Stacker_Stocks a subterritory, but obviously we don't even know what the possible arrangements are for something like that yet.
Very interesting
You own nothing, territories are not yours. As for now, k00b own it.
You're paying a fee to moderate it and get the rewards it produces ;)
It’s a call option on all future sat revenues
ahaha, lol. Sound you're coming out of wall st.
lol we all have a call option on bitcoin. Why we are short dollars
The real question is: are you going to maintain them forever?
@k00b: on a paid-off territory, how do ownership transfers work?
Of course I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE
bookmarked.
Hahahahhaahhaah unless I die of course!!
They work like they otherwise do.
You select the nym you want to transfer to, confirm, then you’re done.
so the territory remains paid for?
yep!
Cool!
Gigi's nostr post yesterday (#1271128) was an interesting read.
Even some gunslingers are getting tagged.
Stay safe out there.
We're coming for you, Barbara!
Day 674 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 422 sats on 31Oct2025!
Running total: 434,079 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 675's comment
What do you mine with?
4 units:
Wow. Even today 500k sats not everyone can afford in my area, I imagine their eyes when in a couple of years someone like you tell them you collected this sum with mining on "calculators"

But then we'd never get government shutdowns.
I say Congress should only get paid during shutdowns.

Today's is All Saints Day for both Catholics and Orthodox Churches.
May the Lord be with all your loved ones that are gone!
And if you don't have dear people that are gone, today is a good day to give some calls and catch up a bit. Don't leave room for regrets!
Take care everyone!
Happy Halloween! 👻
Happiness Journal 1/11/25
People say that parenting is expensive, but they don’t reckon the surge of fatherly love and pride that surges within a parent when he buys elementary school uniforms for his boy.
Money can buy happiness sometimes.
Why is it that a child simply has to exist to instigate happiness in his parents but has to score stellar grades in order to maintain shreds of pleasure years later? This must be the greatest mystery of parenting muahaha.
indeed a mystery, whose roots are uncovered to date. haha
stay tuned for my account of a phone call with
an agent from the parasite corporation;
stay vigilant out there, save and heal urself!
Howdy cowboys, whiskey?

Nothing much travelling, sleeping and engaged with SN
All Saints’ Day
