Maybe Trump can blockage Hormuz but can he block the Iran-China railway?

What's with all the puny transactions, folks? I need a couple of 1k+ btc transactions or I'll never get jasonb's bounty.

<jb55> this is a big deal now because you can dump output descriptors with HWI to track your hw wallet key balances without third party vendors. before it was too annoying because importmulti was so slow

Coin of the Day:
@koob is there any way of knowing whether a downzap is composed of sats or CCs?
He knows, but the other stackers are in the dark. Doesn't matter anyway, because those downzaps go straight to the daily rewards. At the end of the day, even if they're CCs, they're getting flipped into sats!
Would like to know what I am up against here- it could be effectively a censorship operation run by SNs as well as a funding mechanism for SNs.
That would be the ultimate hypocrisy and abuse of CCs and peoples trust in the platform.
If the downzapper is using real money (sats) then I'm fine with it- its a V4V Pay2Post contest of ideas on a level playing field.
If however it is someone within SNs and or with access to the CC printer then its not.
@koob which is it?
100% of downzaps go to the reward pool. Those are paid out as sats to stackers every day. If SN was using a "CC printer" to do downzaps, where would the real sats SN pays out every day come from?
If you don't like how SN is run, the code is open source. Why not start your own version of SN on a different domain? Or, do you find it too difficult to run the lightning node and infrastructure?
If SN was using a "CC printer" to do downzaps, where would the real sats SN pays out every day come from?
From my sats that they are downzapping with CCs.
How does SN get your sats?
By downzapping my post with CCs...and my response to that downzapping.
That makes no sense.
If you are boosting your post, most of that is going to the territory owners. So if you made a post in ~Politics_And_Law, siggy gets 70% of your boost sats.
I don't see how you boosting your post gives sats to SN.
Further, let's pretend I downzap your post with CCs. 100% of those CCs go to the reward pool and then are paid out to stackers as rewards at the end of the day. Where do the real sats stackers get come from? We already determined that your boost sats are going to the territory owner.
That doesn't matter, In SN 1 cc = 1 sat.
No not if SNs is using CCs to harvest sats.
That is an outright abuse of the system and trust of users.
@koob what is the composition of the downzaps?
Is SNs using CCs to downzap-censor my post
#1464032
I get why people don't trust whoever's running the printer. It’s not just here. I trust SN. Some stackers already know who’s downzapping the war posts, but I’m not the one who’s gonna out them to you.
Do you know why are they downzapping the war posts?
I find it interesting how someone seems so determined the prevent any discussion of The Greater Israel Project- I dont even know how much of a thing TGIP really is (it seems pretty far out) but the determined downzapping makes me wonder there maybe is something to it!
No
So the key to self-sustaining daily rewards were downzaps?!
I haven't checked every day, but seems like pissing off the right people pays off for SN?
really few understand this meme
Are the downzaps real money (ie sats) or CCs which can be summoned up by the issuer out of thin air?
A wave of naches surged through my body when I learnt that my first-grader son had been testing his friend the spelling of “important”. It had taken me the entire March holidays to make him remember this word.
Moving forward, I will not rest on my laurels. Have taught him “support” tonight. Next word on my target list: opportunity
Woke up from a dream where there was an all you can eat fried chicken buffet that was self serve and drinks could only be gotten after you paid. Once you paid you could not get any more food.
We need to start a dream interpretation thread so we can bullshit about what they mean.
Yeah I think that would be good because I get so many random dreams that I would like to see if other people also get the same types of dreams.
If you can control your thoughts you can drop off into a deep dreamless sleep.
Do you feel old now?
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words...
Have you seen what words made to our society lately?
This one could land into the ~meta , but anyways, here we go, enjoying the ride
Stacker News feels to be the only place the internet still makes sense
Most of the internet feels broken now.
That’s why SN's V4V feels weirdly refreshing. You ask one simple question: is it worth it?
And TBH, that makes the rest of the internet look kind of ridiculous.
On most platforms, your attention gets extracted and sold.
That’s a huge difference.
That feels a lot closer to what the internet was supposed to become before everything turned into rage-bait, vanity metrics, and ad inventory.
Fake likes made the internet worse, sats might actually fix it.
Too optimistic, or is V4V the missing layer the internet needed?
That all sounds right to me.
I also think that k00b and team have been doing a great job de - incentivizing the bots, trolls and scammers that infest the rest of the internet.

Why not running 2 nodes on my device?
Later today will post a new quick guide for Zeus migration. I am still testing some stuff with latest alpha version.
Are they running simultaneously?
No. I don't even think is possible due to limitations of android system.
Yes you can run each one in persistent mode (service run in background) but not simultaneously.
But you don't even use Bitcoin.
You prefer CC shitcoin because they always work.
