I feel like I always submit transactions right when fees spike.

My Coinos wallet currently works for some payments but not ones directed to Stacker News.

Anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a solution?

My attached Coinos sending wallet on SNs shows a red warning but the nature of the warning is not discoverable.

Nothing in that wallet's logs?

I'll check on our channel with them.

reply

here is screenshot of logs- I don't really understand them...but yes they do mention channel failure.

Hmmm looks like a liquidity issue ... weird that they spit all that out. I'll look into and give an update.

reply

Yes, when I tried to buy some CC (much as I dislike them they are 'easy' when coinos is not always operational) it shows a whole screen of that channel failure message before finally giving an option to copy the payment invoice- but if I copy the invoice into coinos wallet and try to pay it still fails.

They closed their channel with us. I'll have to create another channel with them. I'll let you know when it's done.

reply

Thanks for that.

I am unable to open a channel with them. IIRC they run Core Lightning and might've taken it --offline. I'm not sure how to otherwise fix their liquidity. We share peers and we have very good inbound from those peers, so I think this may be an issue of some kind on their end.

It's a css issue afaict. So when I ship a fix it should fix any comments you leave in the meantime.

I'd tried multiple times to explain to google what the movie I'm trying to dig from my mind and all my attempts failed.
But today I found it

Finally. Have you watched this masterpiece?

reply

Hadn't heard of it before, but after watching the trailer, I'm curious.

every one of ur projects is a projection of ur mind's eye (the i am); u not only have the power to think of a project, u also have the power to accelerate or decelerate how quickly it develops; all is about focus, while letting everything else defocus, just like with the photocamera;

TFW you find some really questionable shit in conscrypt (logging stats about every successfully performed TLS handshake... tf goog) and before panicking remember to check what grapheneos did about it.

Spotted the Meta AI convenience store in Shibuya, Tokyo tonight. Apparently it is a opening tomorrow as a kind of escape room / event space for demoing AI tech and fuckign with people.

Is that Soma I spot on the shelf?

reply

that's a lifeless, liminal space for sure

reply
Soma

Aka dopamine dependancy, is in the nic pouches, energy drinks, ecigs, algos, onlyfans, PH's, alcoholic bevvies, ffood, thirst traps etc. Never needed Meta overlords to peddle it, it was there all along.

Few.

Looks like Signal is preparing to allow registrations without phone number.

Fingers crossed!!!!

reply

I would be very pleased with this. Biggest hurdle to registering is the stupid phone number requirement.

reply

The rumor is they will paygate it, so this can still become extremely useless

reply

have you check Radar? #1521003 it supposed to be a clone and compatible with signal. did not test yet

reply

I glanced. It's sloppy af and has anti-features. So not unless Signal fucks up more than they do, and even then, cheaper to just patch Signal than to take on a year or more of review debt on generated code.

reply

PS: they also don't defend against supply chain vulns -> GHSA-7xpr-hc2w-34m9

So perhaps you should wait a bit with installing that.

I heard it also disconnects you in the official Signal app. If that's the case and there's none, there should be a warning.

Oh, and I don't get the appeal of mixing payments with messages.

reply

Ouch!

I'm not eager to review this one - also because that one above was just a random vuln I checked on the spot because I remembered it from 2 weeks ago or so - I think imma do a pass on this. I also don't understand why you would take the supply chain risk of having breez sdk in your secure messenger. All that ffi, bridges and cargo hell... <what can possibly go wrong>? I already cry every time i have to do signal (kotlin)->ringrtc (rust)->webrtc (c++) review, which is about every other release, meaning 3x per month or so.

This "integrated payments" feature is something I'll probably never understand though. I don't want my money exposed to a thing that literally takes crap in from outside, or my confidential messages exposed to SDKs that interface with public networks. Sandboxing is a thing.

I honestly believe you can sell anything to bitcoiners as long as you say there's bitcoin in it (no bitcoin actually needs to be in it). We’re all more normies than not.
