I see some of you have the cowboy hat on your profile. How do I get that? How do I insert the emoji on my profile just like you did. Thank you for your response.

You can't just insert the emoji. Do you think they're just handing out cowboy hats to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants one? You must earn one by showing support for others with your sats.

Yes, Geyser does provide LN Addresses to every project! It has been over a year now @k00b! :P

For example, Anita's Project on Geyser has her own Geyser ln address: https://geyser.fund/project/bff, bff@geyser.fund. And since she runs her node we don't take any fees from all transactions going to her.

I'm a big believer that LN addresses could be the new standard for interoperable payments across platforms, AND funds going both ways:

  1. Funding going from SN to Geyser: users forwarding sats to Geyser ln addresses.
  2. Funding from from Geyser to SN: users could be sending people to Geyser which supports onchain payments, and sats flowing to Stacker News.

I'd love to see this!

They generate invoices when you tap contribute and set an amount. They collect fees on donations so more likely they would want to link to their donation page rather than have sats directly sent to a lightning address.

What I thought would be cool is if they did a weekly campaign feature on SN for a project they want to highlight. Maybe those posts can forward to a lightning address and SN and Geyser can split the fees generated?

Is the contribution happening right now?

You just mentioned my all other names - tom, dick and Harry. Why?

reply

Because Siggy is old and old people say shit like that. Haha sorry Sig.

reply

Exactly! I was thinking of starting an old man expression thread.

That would be pretty fun. I have a few that I use passed down over the generations in the family and my kids look at me like I am completely nuts.

reply

My daughter and her friends make fun of me, but now they use a few.

My little one has taken to saying "oh biscuits" when something goes wrong. I have no idea where she picked it up from. Maybe my mom or a show, but it's pretty funny.

reply

I WISH that was what my daughter used to say. Actually we watched what we said and everything was okay until she went to school.

Because I have met them all.

reply

You met them all in one. See? I just helped you out.

reply

Thank you. You're on your way to your hat

reply

Got it just a few minutes ago.

reply

Congratulations! Do you feel any different?

reply

Yes!!! I can have my own personal shade now in the SuN.

No one can be told what the cowboy hat is you have to discover it for yourself, thats half the fun

You are zapped!

Are you familiar with a lead footed driver?

To learn the ways of the frontier you must become a lead fingered zapper.

This is all I can say. This message with self destruct in...

reply

My fingers on the zapper all the time, like it got some stroke and can't move from it again. I get your drift.

reply

Looks like you got your hat. Now the hard part is keeping it. My longest streak is 90 something days. At 70 now so trying to break my record.

reply

Oh yes. And I am glad you guys used your witty ways to tell me what I need to do.
