Vent about people in BTC who are pro any regulation. BTC is their to break the system. Its a protest vote about what is wrong in the system. Pandering to regulators / regulation is pathetic!

I stayed home while the regulars held down Bitcoin Brunch #113. So inspiring to have a community pick up what I put together and keep it alive and well.

Tried to buy some no-KYC sats using a confilp ATM and I was unable to. My burner number from text verified submitted the code but the atm would send another message plus they asking for birthday. Something I don’t remember having to do before.
It appears the atm option is out for no-KYC 🙁

Hey @kr episodes 16 to 30 aren’t working on fountain for some reason. I submitted a bug report to fountain a few months ago and they said it was fixed but for some reason these shows aren’t playing. I can’t queue, download, or stream them on fountain. Figured I let you know. Fan of the show. Thanks for the work you do.

It's Sunday funday everyone, hope everyone is enjoying their share of java, mine is black and 2 sugar. Need the extra boost today, I feel a tad tired but once the caffeine kicks in it's all gravy my friend, I'm going to do something fun today, perhaps go to the beach or go to a cenote (underground water caves) or maybe stay in and watch a movie, the idea is to disconnect from everything and just have fun, to recharge for the next week. I wish you all a phenomenal day and may it be filled with love, laughs and good vibes! Remember that you matter and you are important, ALWAYS! So be well my good friend and stay frosty!!

On this morn of our Restday Revelry, all and sundry, I hope, partake in the dark draught, brewed from the beans of Javara. As for mine own, 'tis without cream, sweetened with a brace of sugars. For today, I find myself needing the invigorating surge it provides, my body harbors an unusual fatigue. Yet, with the bitter brew's magic coursing in my veins, I shall transcend these lowly confines, transmuted as if by some arcane power.
An escapade awaits me this day, perchance a pilgrimage to the shore's edge or an exploration of the submerged caverns of our forefathers – these cenotes as they are called. Or mayhap, I shall recline in my sanctuary, the moving pictures of an ether-screen for company. The goal is but a brief respite, a disconnection from the fetters of existence, a chance to bask in unadulterated joy, to gather strength for the challenges of the coming days.
I wish for thee a day of excellence, filled to the brim with affection, merriment, and harmonious energy. Always recall, thou art significant, thou art treasured. Always. Remain in good health, my cherished companion, and keep thy spirit ablaze in this icy dystopia!

@grayruby @siggy47 what's the status on the SN survivor pool?
reply
110 sats \ 9 replies \ @siggy47 30 Jul 2023
I think we have 4 or 5 committed to join. We're not ambitious enough to even attempt trustless, so someone will be holding the kitty. It's really an experiment. We'll keep the buy in low and just make it a bragging rights thing for the first season. It will be fun. If there's interest (possible sports sub?) in the future maybe we'll get some coding help and do it right.

I was thinking we should just create a survivor pool account. Sats go to the account for entry into the pool. Account provides list of weekly games and then an update after the week's games are over.
Survivor account pays the winner at the end. Any additional sats it got tipped along the way can either go to whoever is administering the account or we can just split amongst whoever participated.

Sure, I don't mind managing it. I would like you input on the rules, buy in, re-buys, tie breakers, deadlines and any other input from your league that may help it run smooth.
Checking notifications today I see we have a few more folks interested. Would be nice if we could get at least 10.

I have a go library to use the (so far, not documented) SN API which I have written for @hn and you could use
I can enhance it or provide libraries in other languages if you want :)
Not sure how much of a tech person you are though. But it may make some things easier if they are automated.
I would love to join in the pool but I have no idea about sports, haha

I wish I understood what I read when I clicked that link. Haha. I really need to learn some shit but I run out of patience so quickly when I try to learn to code. Maybe AI assistants will be good for me.

Are there any sports fans out there who can code, or are these mutually exclusive groups?
