Shall we have a "general" sub for other type of content?

I think @k00b mentioned elsewhere that he's working on a UI change to enable (or require?) us to select a specific sub to post to.
Having a "general" at that point sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe even make it the default... :)

Enjoying a morning coffee, chilling on my deck with my dog and as I type this I see the morning has flown by and it is now afternoon. Through the sliding screen door I can hear my little one playing the harmonica her mom bought her yesterday. Time to go inside and jam? Yeah it is!

I moved some lightning BTC couple days ago and wanted to start using a self-custodian wallet so I decided to use Phoenix but I had some pretty major issues.
I started by sending a few test sats and it worked great. I then sent about $500 USD of sats to the wallet and the Phoenix wallet said it went through (although it cost about $5 usd). After a few hours I noticed that the sats weren't showing up on the main page of the app. About 2 days later and now the sats are showing up correctly and I can see a new channel that was opened with a capacity high enough for the transaction.
So questions for yall:
- Any idea why the transaction took so long to actually show up?
- It's concerning that Phoenix said that the transaction was finished yet I couldn't spend those sats; and the sats seemed to be in limbo for a few days. Should I look at an alternative to Phoenix?

Did you use lightning or onchain?

Lightning. Although it seems that Phoenix might have opened a channel for me, which sounds like it might require an on-chain tx?

I've been spending the last month and a half floating around on nostr in a haze of bitcoin memes, contemplative thoughts of endless notes from others and anon social engagement with a positive user base I haven't witnessed online in maybe ever. All integrated with the LN and sending more sats around than I have before.
I don't even know who I am anymore. Also in the beginnings of trying to set up a second node.

That's a nice stadium. I haven't been to that one yet but I would like to check it out. Central division is wide open. Brewers have a pretty good team.

Good morning bitcoiners and internet! I've been trying to consume all the podcasts about nostr, which at this point in time one could still accomplish. Funny enough I don't use nostr yet, but I find myself fascinated and excited by it.

Yes. We need more open communication protocols. I imagine things will improve with time. Right now we have a problem with redundant development effort. Eventually better teams will form.
I find it important that no one owns or controls nostr. As long as it remains open I remain hopeful that one day it may become useful. I can imagine may applications for nostr, which could unleash tremendous utility to users.
I believe deeply in the capacity for the telecommunciation and computers to tremendously increase the wealth of anyone who can use them.
