This morning, a pack of beers from local grocery. Was like 20550 sats or something like that, I can't find rn with which wallet I paid, to bring up a picture. LOL I have so many LN wallets.

oh and I forgot: I dropped some sats into SN pool (if this count as spending)!

yes, I barely drink water. Only when I work heavily on my citadel, then during the day I have to stay hydrated and beer is not helping with that in the sun and with lots of effort.

The Melville Deli in Melville, New York. Located in Suffolk County on Long Island. It is the only business that shows up on BTC Map for Long Island. I am about to publish a post about my experience. They have a web site. I am driving and can't google the link right now, but you can find them. Great food and good prices

How did you did it in the end? I remember you asked me about.

1 sat \ 1 reply \ @JesseJames 24 Sep 2023

Not many tips worked as I really wanted, no response from the vendor or no visa cards available . I forgot I got wise with some cash on it so I used that. But otherwise egifter.com works the best. The Bitcoin Company want you to buy bitcoin then cards, not what I wanted tho. Hope this helps.

I'd never seen reactor before! It's profitable to lease?

300 sats \ 4 replies \ @TheWildHustle 24 Sep 2023

This was my first time using it, I directed the hash to solo.ckpool. I figured a couple of dollars for 3 hours of 200TH solo mining was fine. Interesting service. They offered a free trial in the past, throwing hash rate at Braiins pool but it wasn't an option when I looked this time.

It's crazy how easy they made it

It's basically a lottery without being called a lottery. I wonder if it'd be illegal to call it a lottery. It'd probably be way more popular if they did.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheWildHustle 24 Sep 2023

Exactly! But knowing me If I see hash rate make a big drop I'm Immediately buying 500TH while convincing myself that I'm defending the network.

And I wouldn't be surprised if there are legal reasons on why they cant refer to some of the contracts as lottery.

And no, I dont think its profitable, unless you take your UTXO's to some sort of dealership and sell them at a decent margin....

296 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b 24 Sep 2023

If only there was such a place lol.

I want to see a utxo dealership commercial with @supertestnet in a greasy suit walking around a parking lot filled with car-sized bitcoin miners in a tron like universe trying to convince you to come on down and trade your utxos in.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheWildHustle 24 Sep 2023

Ha! A brick and mortor UTXO dealership would confuse the stuffing out of normies. "So.....what are you selling here?"

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 24 Sep 2023

I sold one of my old UTXO I mined from 2012 for more BTC than were in the UTXO. I still have another one. But was to a good friend that wanted to have something from those times. And private P2P.

I think there's a huge market for these kind of trades.

I bought blood!

But not real blood. It's an in-game item that I use to trade for resources in the Orange server on a game called Rust. I haven't had the time to gather resources myself this month so I bought it off someone for blood (which they can trade back for sats). Then I use the resources to build a base and have a presence on the server to hang out with friends who are all over the world 😀

TLDR; I exchanged sats for someone else's time and effort.
