Does Stacker News have a lack of LN channels with Coinos?

'Failed to route payment, recipient may not be reachable. Try sending a smaller amount or increasing the max fee reserve.'

SNs seems unable to receive sats from coinos wallet at the moment.
Forced to use CC shitcoins :(

My life is orderly and rather comfortable in fact...you trade in fake news illusions and fantasy in contrast.

You don't have the guts to stand behind your words with a nym.

Zionist coward.

You cannot make a credible reasoned argument and so default to imbecilic anonymous downzapping and inane trollery.

BTW it looks like the problem with Coinos is at Coinos end, not SNs.
Seems difficult to pay from coinos to any destination atm.

Anyone know what the problem is at Coinos?

@asoltys ?

reply

Good news - Coinos is working for payments again.

@DarthCoin doesn't use sats here on SNs.
@DarthCoin uses CCs instead because 'they always work'.
What a blatant posturing virtue signalling big talk no walk fake BTC Maxi hypocrite.
'Living on The Bitcoin Standard' @DarthCoin = BS.

If you ever wanted to know what software was like in the 1990s, load up a VM with linux Debian 13. It's very nostalgic in feel. I used UTM on a macbook and then upgraded the standard Debian 11 to 13.5. Took a bit of finetuning, but it's a fun time machine trip back a few decades in UX feeling.

I've always wondered if he survived to know what an icon he became or if they just executed him right after this.

I didn't know that today was the anniversary. Just last night, my wife and I went to a bowling alley to do music trivia. I remember that a few years back I had seen on the wall a newspaper article in which the bowling alley was featured. But the newspaper feature was from the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre and there were all of these interviews with people in our community about it on the side of the page. It was really interesting reading all of these people's opinions right at the time of the event.

Alas, when I went to show my wife the wall hanging, it had finally been replaced by something newer. I always search for things that shed light on history simply because they've been neglected. It's like being a lay archeologist, but it also just feels tragic when people finally get around to cleaning up.

My kids were asking me if he survived. Seems like it's not really known:

Little reliable information exists regarding the identity or fate of either the protester or the crew of the lead tank.[9] Timothy Brook writes that the man was charged with a ten year prison sentence.[10] Witnesses have reported that other individuals also attempted to block the tank column at different points during the demonstrations.[12] - wikipedia

I really hope he didn't get tortured. If they just killed him though, that man definitely died with his boots on! There are certainly more tragic ways to go...

Witnesses have reported that other individuals also attempted to block the tank column at different points

I've heard stories of the underground church there that sound beyond belief. One can only image the kind of undocumented heroics that have taken place in settings like that.

My barber keeps putting off opening a strike account so I can tip his LN address.

Next time I am just going to send him fold gift cards $25 each time I get a haircut as a tip.

As they pile up eventually he will have to covert them and access the Fiat if he so chooses

reply

connect him to your lightning.pub, zap via shockwallet, then if he never touches the sats they're still on your instance

reply

But getting him to download shock wallet will be the challenge.

Plus my lightning.pub is unstable due to me not running it on dedicated always on hardware

Today was the first day of Protected Time. You would have thought that I would feel exhilarated, but strangely, my heart feels a bit heavier than in term time. And this is not owing to the fact that I still need to come up with Term 3 Spelling list as well as mark the graduating class’s compositions.

Recent events — including the Parent Teacher Meeting and Excellence 2000 workshop — have impressed upon me the ginormous task it is to raise a child. I am now keenly aware that I would need to add physical writing of Chinese characters and inquiry-based activities onto my overflowing plate. I cannot simply ensure that he is engaged with KooBits and Ezhishi and flatter myself for doing a great job. There are other aspects that I cannot neglect.

I think the multifaceted, complicated nature of modern parenting has yet to be discussed satisfactorily in our national narrative. Why do people want to be child-free? The question should be: why would people want to risk being parents? I doubt my parents had it so tough.
