Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Is Claude (also with Opus 5.5 today) bad at estimating how much time some task will take? It often tells me: "this will be a multi-hour session", only to come back with the answer 10 minutes later. Is that an artefact of how long it used to take a human to do it or was it trained to make itself look more impressive?

Ukraine war was and is a challenge to the petrodollar empire post GFC when it became clear that China is now the dominant productive economy supporting the global economy. The IMF was forced to accept China onto the exclusive board of reserve currency issuers because the Yuan and China were the major pillar preventing collapse of the petrodollar empires global institutional framework and protocols.
China is still the only member of the board that is not both a monetary and military tribute state to the USA.
Iran war is the USA pushing back against Chinas growing challenge to the petrodollar. With the development of mBridge and CIP enabling Yuan denominated oil trade and that trade expanding to more and more gulf states who joined mBridge protocol.
How much fiat debt issuance has USA expended upon the Iran war?
Would the US petrodollar be able to even launch the Iran war if it operated on the Bitcoin Standard and was already $40 T in the red? No.
Iran war is last hurrah as the petrodollar empire is flogged like a dead horse by its Zionist puppet masters as they launch their Greater Israel land grab to build a regional hegemony resistant to Chinas emerging dominance.
Bitcoin fine as a refuge - a virtual tax haven and SoV hedge against the insolvency and collapse of the petrodollar...but it does not and cannot enable you to debase all citizens savings in a war and that is a fatal strategic disadvantage for any nation state where control of territory and trade routes is fundamental to both credibility and ultimately, survival.

So I'm still figuring all this out, where do the cowboy credits come from? Is there a way to see who is zapping me?

reply
22 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 22 Sep

You can't see who zapped you. And you get cowboy credits when:

  1. the stacker zapping you doesn't have a sending wallet
  2. your receiving wallet fails repeatedly
reply

We do not show who zaps you.

Cowboy credits: when a user doesn't attach a wallet and somebody zaps them, they get cowboy credits. When that user then zaps you, you get cowboy credits. Ideally, every user has a wallet of their own and nobody would use cowboy credits, but until that glorious day, you will get a few of them from time to time.

They can be used to pay for posting fees or when you zap other users who don't have attached wallets.

reply

don't think you can see who zapped you

as for where CCs come from, some people buy CCs from stacker news because it's more convenient than connecting a lightning wallet

(i've done so myself as a backup in case my lightning wallet goes offline)

reply
145 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 15h

Oh my notification OCD is worse than just counts: I react to notifications (as in things that aren't muted) straight. This also means that everyone but 3 people (of the 20 that have my number) are fully muted and I micromanage notification topics in ntfy and my phone is only subscribed to "actionable items", and on my phone, only that, signal and my LN wallet is allowed to notify. Also all notification text/details is off; the notification is that there is a notification.

On my laptop there are no notifications except OS updates. I have one mailbox that I read once per day (if I don't forget.) So it's relatively easy for me to have 0 notification OCD because... I don't get many.

Not being able to turn off government alarms is frustrating.

Opti notes your use of s after bitcoin, which seems to become trendy again, but that too has been renamed by the same BIP (because satoshis is bitcoins now). The only reasonable canonical notations are:

  1. a decimal followed by BTC
  2. an integer followed by sats

Thanks to retarded unit bias argumentation, "bitcoin" and the symbol have lost meaning and cannot be used.

reply
182 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 22 Sep

I think BIP-177 comes from a desire to leave some legacy, no matter how unreasonable it is. You want to change the language to make it less confusing, but also hand-wave away arguments about how it's actually more confusing now?

Damn, I wish there was a hard fork for language.

reply

I think that naming should be normative (= specification), and not informational. Otherwise all it does is create confusion, and the point of formalizing naming is to reduce confusion.

What's the best decision you have ever made in life?

Personally, it's quitted (my only job in life) and left my home country, learned different languages, and invested time into digging about Bitcoin; But the downside of walking this path is that I'm having a hard time finding people with similar life experiences who can have deep conversations, so I turned my energy into exploring hobbies. 😅

I recognize a lot of what you're doing, but I also think that the charm of an adventurous lifestyle is that your life and your experiences, even if someone did the same or similar things, is still very bespoke. And it's much less fun when you explore a path walked prior by someone you know.

I wrote a piece about your life is pointless and that's ok, it was clickbait but essentially it was saying that you should feel liberated because, around 117B people have ever been born, 109B are dead leaving us lot

And out of all those lives only around 500 to a thousand will be timelessly remembered, like Alexander the great, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare etc

So without being nihilistic, nothing matters, we'll all be forgotten, and we're all in this reality together, so why make it difficult for other people, why argue on the road or at the store

Just try and help people to get what they want

But there are so many people plugged into negative ways, they can't bring themselves to see this life for what it is

I chase inner peace and hope one day humanity can learn to unite

We are divided by something that keeps us fighting with each other, whether that's politics, religion, borders, language or the shadowy elites

I haven't always been like this but when you read the old philosophers, you see that what they were saying is relevant in a timeless way
