Hunter Biden has just announced a LAPTOP memecoin. It will allocate 20% to investors who lost money on the TRUMP coin, and will burn 30% of the supply if the Democrats win the presidency.

Pearls to mf swine
I have enough sats to boost you 10 times btw
In fact i joined SN back just yesterday if you noticed
I'm sorry for using your comment to make a point about how pathetic its all becoming. Luckily Scoresby posted about what the Lukecoiners are doing so that we know things can be even more pathetic than a bunch of gambling addicted degens crying about the share of k00bs sats they want to pocket.
Have fun with your gambles, rich person that can boost me 10x, whatever that means.
Uh well assuming you didn't get my point, I said that I am not here for sats, neither do I have much interest in social media in general. I'm not aware of how people might behave here, but when you commented that meme it pissed me, so I said that.
In conclusion, I'm not here for sats again 🥲
No worries. I did apologize for using your post. Just it's shitty when the rewards are compared to gambling sites. Because the point is to reward those that are zapping good content.
It can be "gamed", but the net result of that is that (good) content gets zaps. Thus, its not the same as gambling.
LOL you made me enter again on SN to zap you!
I am glad somebody is still making fun memes.
btw - rewards pool should be renamed in "assmilkers pot"
Hi everyone,
Just wanna say, SN is great. The only place where mods can't shadowban me.
Best Regards,

What's funny is that technically territory owners could but there's a lot of restraint and most territories have the option of moderation disabled.
Question: why do you think your posts got removed on the other platforms?
tbh i think those are all fiat-controlled media and they don't want people to discuss about unit bias and hyperbitcoinization.
This makes total sense in a
not your printer, not your coinkind of way. Fiat maxis love their printer too. Emphasis their.Moderation is not anymore an option territory founders decide to enable. Has been disabled, same for freebies.
Good catch! I didn't notice!!!
It makes sense to disable moderation, yet it might be beneficial to give new users freebies again. It could offer more chances to play around, earn some cowboycredits and enjoy stacker.news without having any knowledge of bitcoin or lightning.
New users get 5 freebies per month
Oh ok, did not know it still there. Great!
Now that I don't have a connected send wallet I had to get rid of my freebies by posting and deleting comments 😂
How did you hear about SN? You've certainly grasped the value proposition, which is more than I can say for most of the rest of the internet.
i tried a few places:
posted on bitcointalk, mods let my post live for about 2 days before taking it down. quite disappointed.
posted on the bitcoin subreddit, they just deleted it immediately. that place seems to be heavily policed by fiat banksters and "crypto" scammers.
paid EIN Presswire, they took my money and then deleted my account.
my homie Dende then suggested SN. seems like this is the only place that doesn't delete my post. so i'm thankful.
I've had similar experiences in those places.
But I'm curious what you are aiming to achieve. Most bitcoiners are not likely to be sympathetic to you project, perhaps especially so here where many normally "accepted" Bitcoin projects like Spark, ecash, and Ark receive strong criticism.
What's your goal in posting about your project in a place where most users will not be open to it?
thank you for your question. tbh i'm just trying to not be shadowbanned and find some open minded bitcoiners out there who have time to read long essays and discuss hyperbitcoinization.
some of my friends avoid talking to me ever since i started working on this. most normies think i'm scamming them for financial gains, but i'm not (i sent most of my nahs to Satoshi Nakamoto and some other team members who helped me put this project together). but that's not a problem. i been trying to talk to people about bitcoin for more than a decade so i'm used to people saying i'm scamming them. what i dislike is the silence i have received from my other friends who are real bitcoiners, and the shadowbanning i got from places that are supposed to be against censorship.
to me, strong constructive criticism is a lot better than silence and shadowbanning. so far i've gotten some real feedback here so that is awesome. my job is simply to get the word out, to get people to talk about unit bias and hyperbitcoinization.
from my point of view, this nah•sovereign•diamond project is the only path to hyperbitcoinization (especially since fiat controlled media have been trying to shadowban it). i know that sounds absurd to a lot of people, and even to myself sometimes. maybe i'm just trying to find one person who can critically explain to me why my team and myself are wrong so we can stop wasting our lives on this?
and if i can't find a real reason to convince myself to stop pushing this, i have no other choice but to continue.
or maybe i'm trying to push Satoshi Nakamoto to come back. maybe he's been lurking around SN and seeing my post. because if he does not sell the nahs i sent him, nah will continue to outperform sat, attracting more bitcoiners, and the unit of account of the bitcoin timechain will become the thing i'm working on.
maybe i'm not wasting my time and money after all (trust me i hate zap wars too but if it has to be done then it will be done). if i can help make peer to peer electronic cash a reality for everyone, it'd be a crime if i allow myself to stop.
of course, 99.99% of stacker news users will initially doubt. but if we got lucky and find just one or two stackers who take the time to research and contribute into this project, then the zap war would have produced a good outcome.
wait SN is quite a big place, i don't think people will not be open to it
hopefully

Then again...he might not.
My last post got a huge number of downzaps and I would like some (brutal, if necessary) advice as to what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize until I saw it in the whole "yesterday's most downzapped" post. Was the idea of me being relatively new here and asking about global ideas for the whole page rubbing people the wrong way?
For context, 50 sats in downzaps is probably just one stacker who was feeling mildly "meh" and wanted to express a thumbs down or something.
As far as I can tell, most people really resonated with your post and I know I enjoyed reading it. Don't feel bad!
You didn't do anything wrong. You can't please everyone. And there will always be some idiots with extra sats happy to cowardly give their opinion by simply passively downzapping.
the post only got 50 downzap? I don't think you need to think too much about it.
I don't know how that compares to a normal post. It made it to the top downzapped posts that day, so I assumed that's bad.
you missed the "A pile of shit sometimes might hide a gem." detail
No. It's probably just someone trolling. Don't worry about it. Your post was the 2nd ranked post most of the day yesterday, it was a good post.
Not many posts get organic zaps > 20k, so you did all the right things.
Exactly! upzap 22,084, downzap 50, really no need to pay much attention to it. 😂
52 comments are good sign too!
Thank you for asking my question haha
Alnur Mussayev, the ex-head of Kazakhstan's State Security Service (a successor to the KGB), alleges that Vladimir Putin possesses compromising videos and documents that could "destroy" Trump. These claims extend to Trump's purported ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
TACO Trump is a deviant.
Heads up for @coffeebadger
I also have compromising videos of you that I don't release.
Lol no you don't.
Putin owns TACO Trump and you are paid to obfuscate that.
The Zionists and Chevron also own TACO Trump.
And you are paid to obfuscate that too.
How do you know I don't? I'm literally the acting director of Kekistani Counterintelligence Service.
Is that your way of describing your status as a Libertarian welfare beneficiary?
TACO Trump is a deviant, owned by Putin, Chevron and the Zionist war criminals.
Yes. As long as a welfare state exists then I have to consume all of it before some socialist gets to use it. That's the whole problem with your system. What happens to the welfare state if you can't get me to pay for it?
I would send all welfare beneficiaries, Lesbians and Zionist sympathisers to Gaza.
You're no Kekistani - you're a Zionist cuck like TACO Trump.
Off with you to Gaza, hypocrite!

Daily ~Designer Quote #0013
POV: asking about the origin of an actress' accent and correcting LLM misinformation
this the new AGI thing?
Did it hack your browser, download some porn and email a screenshot to your wife in revenge? If no, then it is not AGI.
Not at all, just asked Leo (brave) to identify a character's accent
Context: Last Night in Soho. Came for London and Anya Taylor-Joy's character, stayed for Eloise and her adorable (apparently Cornish) accent, which the LLM called rough and ugly basically.
I couldn't let such heresy go uncorrected
No AGI for Brave then.

Took a Cybercab into work today. The doors are neat. It's a coupe so it's inconveniently low to the ground. Also like most Tesla interiors it feels cheap. Not having a steering wheel is cool but not that big of a deal. Most of the wow of self-driving is in the self-driving part - not the packaging. It reminds me of AI startups not building their own models. My pig has pink lipstick. Woooowww, right?
How much did it cost?
$12.22 for 2.3 miles. It's usually <$10 but they have been a bit congested for the last few days. I might go back to Waymo if it doesn't come down. I prefer Robotaxi though because I know it's driverless ahead of time.
Not bad at all!
k00b taking a driverless car...
This all self-driving mania yells at me that India is still at least a decade behind many others, if not 2 decades.
Considering India is 4 or 5 on the GDP, it should be here before many others, but hell no this isn't happening. It'll be here only before Africa gets it.
Howdy stackers, what's your most reliable weeknight dinner?
I suppose I would want to double check things as well, but this doesn't look good.
source
what makes you say that?
I don't understand why they would drag it out like this.
Why not ask Blockstream to provide an address and send the btc to that address.
It feels to me like they are drawing it out.
For instance, why did they initially say they were sending funds back to the original address and then after Block stream confirmed, say well, you need to fix first. Why not lead with fix the bug? There are extra rounds of communication here.
Does it read differently to you?
They took responsibility for 4k BTC. If they release it back while there is still a vuln, all is for nothing, then someone else will take it. I am mostly not sure about having a public non-encrypted part in this. I'd personally just encrypt it all. Can always be disclosed later.
But couldn't they ask blockstream to provide a clean BTC address, not necessarily the liquid federation wallet and return funds to that?
I see the argument that they took responsibility for coins, but it is not good to leave the uncertainty there.
The coin doesn't belong to Blockstream! It belongs to the LBTC holders and it is custodied by the federation. Under no circumstance should anyone but the federation that custodies it touch the coin.
Please realize how much value 4k BTC is. If NgU stays true, it is more concentrated value that for most of us, our entire lineage back to the stone age have ever touched. Massive responsibility. Also massive liability if you have access to it.
I think that this is proper. Just the public comms aren't per se.
:O
If there is an exception made for the whitehat (ie they were worried that someone else might steal the coins, so they didn't follow normal responsible disclosure, nor even seemingly reach out to blockstream other than in the moment they took the funds), then why not send it to Blockstream? If the choice is between an anon and a company with a decade-long reputation, it doesn't seem clear-cut to me that the anon is better. I like anons but I also see the value of Blockstream not wanting to torch their entire business.
If the person/group who did this really does return the funds, they will rank high in my book for integrity.
The alleged (because we don't know yet) "whitehat" is still a hacker and what they did is illegal in most jurisdictions. So they're taking a huge risk. They should not take a bounty from anything but Adam's personal dark pool of undoxxed BTC because if they take anything from a federation member they'll be doxxed and traceable. And if they used any Chinese AI tech at all, there will be an entire US justice dept full of hardons to prosecute and make an example out of them. So they better be in China or Russia too.
Nah this is super dangerous and even a 100% honest hacker can get completely destroyed over this. Hopefully you'll never have anyone to assign that rank to.

The question is now, are there any cashu mints large enough for hackers to target
As they are also centralised fake L2s right
If I was a cashu dev I'd be scouring my source code for vulnerabilities, which I'd hope they already are 😳😳
Bro. What's with your narration tho? Do you really think think that your custodial sats are safer on an LND or CLN instance?
ANY concentration of coin is a bigger target than non-concentration. So, are you running your own pub yet?
it’s called parroting
Ek woke up and chose violence 🫡
Bro, no 😭 I should be, yes good call, I shouldn't throw stones from a glass house
And then you have to secure your own LND. See the problem here? We can all "told you so" about Blockstream and be a bunch of grave dancing bitches, but LND too had bugfixes publicly sitting in an RC for a couple of days (Aug 30 - Sep 2) (significant less time than it took on Elements though) and this problem is wide. It literally touches every serious open source project.
It is also possible for this to happen on Bitcoin Core now, as there's a systematic pattern of bugfixes sitting inside unreleased commits too. I cannot help but feel that we need to think about release processes as a community, and this is not a problem that only applies to the enemies of Justin. It applies to us all.
