Question
In the future or currently is it possible to use a lightning address e.g Chungkingexpress@stacker.news or getalby.com for actual emails too? Seems like a great next step. What would the mechanism for this be? What happens if you try to send sats to an address that does not exist?
Big fan of running bamboo. The way they take over an ecosystem is impressive. They send roots in all directions much further than you would expect to find all water possible. Then they shoot up 5-10-15 meters high within 60 days!! Then they create a blanket of leaves to soak all the sun. And to top it off they drop the leaves to cover the ground just to make sure nothing else gets a chance to grow. Many of the variants are edible and some produce sufficiently hard material for fences, huts, tools and furniture. That is all.
It depends on what kind of containment you require. If you need to contain the roots you have to install a rhizome barrier of some kind. But the rhizomes cant extend further than about 20 feet (6 meters) from a mature culm/stalk and the new shoots can be kicked or mowed so you can also contain it that way. I mean that way it can never leave its original area until you stop mowing or kicking the new shoots which only tries to come up twice a year afaik.
Met someone 60+, speaks fluent English, has a sharp brain, and walks faster than me, even though on fasting. And the most fascinating part is he lives his happy life without a phone or number.
I am really happy to see this is possible - when most people give up living in their 30s or 40s, this cool soul in his 60s is still so passionate about learning and sharing, which also reminded me of @darthcoin
This man sounds great, but I don't see that many people giving up living in their 30s and 40s. I like the idea of no phone number. Does he have internet? Also, he speaks fluent English. What country does he live in?
Where are you from? You need to meet and talk to more older people. Most people surely do not give up living in their 30s or 40s. i regularly see 50 and 60 year olds climbing mountains and hiking alpine trails in the U. S.
I am also almost 60, but I live like I am in my 30-35.
How is that possible?
out of big cities
eat mostly your own grown food, not processed
no stress, clear your mind with long walks into the nature
work outside at least 1h/day (even if you have a desk job). Having a vegetables garden helps you a lot. Or some chickens.
spend less on crap things, calculate well your income and spending.
do not go to a "medic" because "you feel bad". Treat yourself with old natural remedies and drink clean water. Mountain spring water is the best cure you could ever get. And herbs. I have at least 25 years that I never went to a doctor. And was not "sick" at all.
NEVER listen or do what a gov says. Only opposite. Always.
Now I am building my own citadel, with my own bare hands, deep into a mountain valley. To be almost self sufficient and live in peace. And will be a Bitcoin "retreat", a monument dedicated to Bitcoin and free world.
I don't know how much time will take, it doesn't matter. I still have at least 50 years more to live and enough to build it. So I decided to dedicate my time to Bitcoin and my citadel. Not doing anything else more.
And when will be ready, maybe I will put a 24/7 webcam and people see me and/ or ask me questions about Bitcoin, live, in real time.
Watch me.
I choose that place exactly because no one can come and break my silence. I prefer to be surounded by cows not by people.
You are saying that because the fear inside you is talking. I am fearless. I trained myself to not have any fear. Fear is what makes us weak and controlable.
LOL
mail delivery? For what? To bring me what? I don't need it.
Electricity? From the grid? Are you out of your mind? I have 2 small rivers just on the property, that I can make a small hydro.
Internet? Maybe, to connect some BTC miners to that extra hydro power I would have. Satellite is very well positioned.
And I am moving out of big city within next month. Living in big cities is like living in an illusion; one might think he can easily get the "best" of everything, yet missing out on the real taste in life.
Highly recommend moving out of the city. Especially if you have kids. Moved out of the city 15 months ago and now my kids get to play and walk in nature instead of a jungle of concrete and steel. We hear birds and trees rustling in the breeze instead of cars and construction site noise.
And the biggest plus, I don't spend 3 hours a day in horrible traffic trying to navigate the city and construction and accidents etc. I usually walk to local shops to pick up the small things we need and my wife drives to the grocery store (5 minutes drive) once a week to pick up food for the week. My son takes Taekwondo lessons (only 15 minutes drive) and my daughter takes gymnastics and dance lessons (only 10 minutes drive). Otherwise we only drive when we have to travel back to the city for something.
We are converting family property in NW Mississippi back into the nearly self-sustaining farm/ranch it was back in my grandparent's day up to the 1980s. I spent 20 years in San Fran shunning that life. Now I long for it and see how short-sighted I have been.
