Something to think about for people Fighting Depression, and Anxiety. I believe that almost everyone suffers from the same kind of depression, I don’t think a lot of people even realize they have it. I also believe that psychiatrists have selfishly created a staggering number of mental illnesses that don’t really exist in the interest of money when really it’s all the same thing , because let’s face it the cost of living in the United States is so unreasonably high that almost everyone in our population has to be a greedy, selfish, lying piece of shit to get what there small brains desire rather then doing what is right. I believe the depression is given to us by our leaders who keep allowing the cost of life to go up, while the jobs didn’t really even pay people an honest wage before prices went up. We don’t have any time to stop and question why these leaders are taking advantage of us, fueling arguments and divorce that separate good families that couldn’t stop arguing about finances, forcing starvation, homelessness, theft, classing, and believe it or not cancer and a lot of other disease, because cost controls quality, Etc ( I could go on for hours ) we are all stressed to the max in a constant state of fight or flight. We know deep down what is causing our suffering but it’s hard for us to admit that we are being abused. We are living in a way that can only cause depression, the depression is our bodies telling us the truth. Here is the worst part, we can keep pretending that the ones we vote in to this system can fix it, but it can never be fixed, it will only get worse, it was designed to back us into a corner that we can never fight our way out of. Our Depression is the symptom of the system that is 100% wrong for us. I don’t think we deserve this depression, but I also don’t think we can stop labeling things long enough to stand together in truth. The end

grr work. But stacking sats on Fountain!

I found myself quite surprised by the fee-flippening yesterday, but like others hope it will [at least for now] squelch annoying debates about tail-emissions.

"Bitcoin's going to zero! Zero!!!"
Price is dumping as predicted. Looks like traders are offloading now that fees have become an obstacle for them. It's all so tiresome 🥱
reply
what the hell are you talking about? the price of what "is dumping"?
reply
Meme Monday is getting very competitive...
reply
the fees will stay like this until next halving imo. which is only about 12 months away. but then the fees will go to 0 again and the block subsidy will go in half and miners all over the world will get hit. PLEASE miners, be careful- dont take too much risk?
reply
you don't imagine many miners pay people to think about these very things?
reply
No. Miners are in a gold rush mentality. They expand and expand and expand.

You DID open your channels when the mempool was clear, right anon?
reply

reply
I did and closed them 😆

Thinking about hanging a QR code on my letter box.
I live in a house with many parties and the parcel carriers don't realize that only the person who they rang the last can respond.
It happened multiple times that they rang me and by the time I picked up the phone to check who's there, they already rang someone else so my phone is dead again, lol
A QR code would solve this since they can scan it if the parcel is for me and this should open a direct ephemeral chat with me on my mobile. Since I carry it basically everywhere, I could even chat with the person while I am not at home.
I used to work as a postman and thus I think some would indeed use it to deliver a package successfully since it looks bad in the statistics if they are not able to deliver even if you can't hold them responsible for so many people just not being at home.
Does this sound like a good idea?

Thanks!
I almost started working on this and dropped everything else I was currently working on haha
But I really need to finish some stuff first before starting another project.
I will probably use nostr and NIP-04 for this. Will create a SN post when I have a MVP going :)

Strange times. I think I'm going to spend some time learning about transactions and the mempool. I know the basics, but I want to know what the hell is going on. I'm glad I mostly use LN!
reply
To my knowledge it's just because of the massive demand for BRC-20 tokens. I think it's likely to lull after a little bit, but it sucks in the meantime because I just got a lnd node up and was about to open channels.
reply
I've had my node up for a year and a half, but I was just going to do a few swaps to open a nice big channel. I'll wait a while, I guess.
reply
Yup. Low time preference is hard to learn I guess. This new development has had me looking more closely at opening multiple channels at once with a payjoin to save on fees, although I'm worried that might be a little advanced for my first few channels.
