This real? Trolling? Or the other kind of trans?
Definitely a honeypot to measure who would read past the first line, not sure that he's actually kidding.

Good morning
I got hooked on these. It reminds me of Pepsi. My dad tried one and says it tastes just like bottle caps candy. My new drink for social events.
not exactly sure what the "
natural flavors" do to the flesh - they are usually under a proprietary patented formula; if u liked the enemas post, u will love the feed distribution post;@Solomonsatoshi
Did you prefer SN prior to CCs? Back then, when we zapped each other, there was no movement on the lightning network. SN just adjusted some numbers in a database.
Why are you so obsessed with whether a lightning channel actually get used?
Am interested in the gap between rhetoric and actions.
Came to SNs for a sats denominated social media experience.
Saw that as an excellent opportunity to use LN everyday, as where I live and many of us live there is very little opportunity to use Bitcojn daily as a payment protocol.
I see use of Bitcoin as a payment protocol fundamental to its destiny and huge barriers exist seeking to prevent this- but SNs appears to offer an opportunity for like minded Bitcoiners to use LN everyday and help grow the LN and its strength.
CCs were only introduced because of the threat of government prosecution on grounds of money transmitting.
CCs combined with users having the option to attach wallets were adopted as a foil to the risk of prosecution.
It had the effect of requiring us to attach wallets if we are serious about Bitcoin use, which discouraged some but which most can and did achieve and ultimately results in a more direct P2P platform which potentially uses the LN thousands of times a day.
So in that sense attaching wallets was an improvement as you mention.
Use of the LN is important as it strengthens the network and demonstrates it in action.
Non Bitcoiner freinds have been impressed when i describe how on SNs we can make these multiple V4V payments via LN. Its a great showcase and sandbox for increasing LN strength.
So, I see red when I see self proclaimed 'Bitcoiners' preferring to use CCs 'because they are easier and always work'...while their content is heavy in pro Bitcoin virtue signalling.
SNs was an opportunity to make LN use a convenient everyday activity and so help strengthen the LN.
It seems that objective is now perhaps being surrendered and I think that is a significant loss and another victory to those who will do all they can to obstruct the use and adoption of Bitcoin as a payments protocol.
So yeah, it is kind of important to me.
if there were ever such an honest, resourceful, and righteous company as to call themselves "Truth Truthers (TT)" and be congruent in their actions to the name... then their Trust tokens (Tt) wud stand in high regard among many nations; obviously the name doesn't matter - the mindset & actions thru care do matter;
Few movies are worth watching these days, this is one of them with unexpected ending! Anyone else has seen it?
Watch also Paradise series. Season 2 just released

'Hell or Highwater' is a damn good movie.
Will watch Relay tonight.
yes I saw it. Pretty good, interesting.
I orange-pilled my brother. He made his first investment in Bitcoin.😉
wonderful news! is he aware of how wild this ride is going to be?
I've been recommending it for a long time. He decided to buy it when the price dropped. I think he knows the profit he'll make. His investments in the stock market have been very successful. I think he saw the real value in Bitcoin.
Hello, have a good start to the week. BTC 💪

So, I just heard a woodpecker call me paranoid in Morse code....
I don't think this joke works anymore because now people literally transmit data via bird 😆
not looking at the car crash?
Nope.
it's a peacefull life
spending my time effectively
did you code SS too?, seems suspicious
No, that's what @ek's script took care of.
Btw, I figured out a workaround for this: I clicked on the timestamp to be sent directly to your comment. Then I can keep clicking "parent" to read the whole thread.
I'm just reading it in reverse that way, haha.
Yes, I muted @Lux.
@Scoresby
I signed my son up for Khan Academy. Seems like the Grammar course complements what he is learning in school! Thanks for your sharing

Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
I want to emphasize due to apparent misunderstanding from @Scoresby and others that I do not see any problem (ie hypocrisy) with people not interested in Bitcoin, or newbies, who have not yet have or show attached LN wallet/s.
My gripe is with content providers who virtue signal strongly pro Bitcoin content but who refuse to attach LN wallets and thereby fail to maximise their use of and support for the LN.
I see this group as hypocrits and essentially hostile to the whole aim as I saw and understood of Stacker News which was to be a sats denominated V4V social media platform.
That's why I came here- to spend sats, and have them received as sats and get good honest content...and I do not believe I am alone in that.
If Stacker News has given up on building a sats denominated V4V platform it should be announced so that we are not operating under false understandings.
Stacker News info section on CCs calls CCs inferior to sats.
I agree with that definition.
The info section identifies them as primarily for those who are new to SNs or unable to attach a LN wallet.
If Stacker News official stance on this has changed let it be made official.
So-Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
