Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
That moment when you write 200 lines of code without testing and it works on first try
Never gets old
you just haven't stress tested it enough...!
Yes, I added more test vectors then and the last one indeed failed, lol
Also I exaggerated, I thought it's around 200 lines that I wrote for NIP-44 but it's 150. Now I feel bad
I'm seeing a lot of "social consensus" and "community values" talk coming from Ethereum supporters wrt Lido's increasing dominance over the staking marketshare (~32%). There isn't really a way to limit Lido's growth short of a socially coordinated effort to slash / censor them.
(Yes this is schadenfreude.)
One cool use for AI is to change the language patterns of your alts.
Another might be to pull up historical anecdotes and examples as you're writing something.
Neat. Whomst'd've thought?
Whomst'dnt've amirite?
cost to post should be increased by a factor of 100 minimum, 1000 preferably.
one sat? really?
LOL Bukele is reading our memes with "I told you so..."

I'm beginning to implement pomodoro ... I could spend my whole day reading/commenting on SN.
In college I would do 45 on 15 off. During my 15, I'd play an iphone port of Joust. SN will be my joust now.
I am wondering if having a pomodoro timer on my phone is actually the best idea. I think I need something standalone.
A lot of people use a kitchen timer. I’m on my computer so I use one on there
The original was a tomato kitchen timer…. maybe I need to find one. Maybe I am procrastinating lol
It's official. I was severely under-indexed on focus. Nearly got mutes done in my first interval.
lol, good idea
i literally just exited the saloon just to see that someone commented again ...
yet you are commenting again

mhh, ask again in two weeks
i tried to publish a new blog post every two weeks but my latest blog post was two weeks late, lol
and i originally wanted to do blog posts about bitcoin stuff
but i really want to delve deeper into the topic of anonymity and privacy and how important it is for societies. the part about paranoia should be about how existing laws may make problems worse. for example, I believe existing drug laws don't solve the problem of people abusing drugs. they just push the problem to the corners of society; casting addicted people out of society and forcing them to stay anonymous which may result in paranoia (drug abuse + stigmatization).

ᕦ(ò_óˇ)Day 12 of exercising everyday before the saloon opensTried to wake up at 7:30AM today so I could work for 1-2 hours on delphi.market. Didn't work, I just got and swiped the alarm off. Then I slept until 10AM, lol.
WIthout my streak, I probably would not have gotten out of bed early enough. I tried to go for a run today again, but it still didn't feel right. Just went for a 30min walk then and bought an iced coffee (sugar addiction probably) to drink it in a park before going home.
An elderly man sat down on the other end of the bench and after a few minutes, he wanted to show me something. At first I thought he is begging for money and the text on his phone is just the translation in German. Kind of sad that this was my expectation. But it wasn't. It was a photo of a restaurant sign for handwritten stuff. I don't remember exactly but it was something about women no longer cooking for men and the restaurant now filling this niche of serving men food.
I tried to smile since I didn't understand it properly. My mind was more occupied with guessing what this is about than just reading the text, lol. For some reason, I find it hard to read stuff when people are waiting for me to read it. But he then explained it to me (it's the sign of a restaurant from a friend) and went on a rant about woman today vs back in his days. He mentioned that women nowadays want to be handled like queens and men have no say anymore. I answered that I think not all women are like that and men are also responsible if they let women behave like that. He said I am right but he is too old now.
We then talked some more after I was initially worried about where this conversation might be going. We talked about his old days in the Soviet Union and how everything was great before Gorbatschow took over. Also talked about inflation, the vaccine and other stuff but I am too lazy go into detail here. I mentioned that I am working in the bitcoin space and I hope that bitcoin is going to fix a lot of stuff since most problems arise from governments having too much power and people having too much faith in authority. He agreed but he didn't seem interested in bitcoin so I didn't go deeper.
I was surprised when he was the first to stand up and end the conversation. He wanted to go to a Greece to fix the necklace of his daughter (we also talked about how nationalities weren't important in the Soviet Union before Gorbatschow). We exchanged names and I tried to thank him for the conversation in Russian by saying "пожалуйста". I wasn't sure if that's the right word so I asked him. Turned out that is actually "you're welcome". "спасибо" is "thank you" :)
A walk with unintended interactions… very welcome!
Welcome buddy. Still going strong I see.

Tip of the day!Tip of the day!
ONLY for Saloon shitposters
Recently SN team implemented LNURL LUD-12 (add comments into a payment). Don't forget to drop some sats to them for this amazing work.
What does it means? This is a very important LNURL feature that you can use it:
How to do it? Simple:
@k00b - maybe could add a simple link to this modal payment screen directly into each SN user profile? Like saying "send a DM here".
^ @Natalia I figured it out on my own Lol.
@darthcoin spoiled the exploring fun.!!
I would add one more detail: you can even hit repeat payment, then easily send different msg to the same receiver; real cool.
Lol.
deleted by author
Seems to work for me: https://streamable.com/896c5o
hmmm interesting why took so long?
Is sending out and back to SN node?
Maybe will be better is will strap that part and first checking if is existing SN account and not making the whole LN payment route ?
just my 2 sats thinking...
I think the delay is more related to us polling LND every 5 seconds instead of subscribing to changes
Could do but that makes it unnecessary complex if that's not the reason for the delay. Programmers don't like exceptions.
relevant lines of code:

where are you pasting it into the wallet? comments only work for LN addresses according to @WeAreAllSatoshi (I didn't read the spec yet)

no worry, was just a joke.
Indeed, nobody knows from first time all the specs of a LN address.
Usually users just have a wallet app that is doing all for them.
SN is just starting now all these new features.

Lightning address option requires a lightning address eg nemo@stacker.news, not a LNURL. It sounds like you used a LNURL in the lightning address field?

Day 165 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

Very late to the zap-fest, hoping I caught the snail before bedtime. Happy hump day to you all
The snail has arrived!

If the goldbugs are right, why haven't gold-backed stablecoins taken off?
__@_'-'
Gold would skyrocket if that happens and I feel the elite don't want gold to trade above a certain level. They want to control the price of gold as much as possible.
My point is that gold-backed stables do exist, but there's negligible demand for them (<1% marketcap of USD stables).
You'd think that gold-backed stables would be more desirable than USD because at least gold appreciates over time. And custodial risk for USD is perhaps even higher than that of gold (see Russia's frozen reserves, could easily happen to Tether). Yet no market for gold-backed stablecoins has really emerged.
Perhaps the reason for this is that nobody is actually saving in USD stables and so they don't care about long term appreciation and risk tolerance. But it's interesting to observe these markets shake out while tradfi is panicking over BRICS.
Are they issued by reputable companies or are they specific country issued gold-backed stables? I'm from a BRICS country and I can tell you know, we as a country haven't seen any benefit from the promise of a new BRICS currency. I believe a currency is only as strong as its government even if its a gold-backed stable. Corruption and greed will destroy any currency, except Bitcoin off course.

Are you Japanese?
There’s a place I have never been…. not sure I would be welcome since my very public protest at the Japanese Prime Minister some years ago.
Ref the writing; I was inspired by @siggy47 and our appreciation of Beat literature.
Ohk. If there's one language I would have loved to learn growing up, it would have been Japanese. I would be able to watch anime without subtitles. That would have been epic Lol.
Yeah but it’s a hard language to learn from an English base. It’s classed as Category IV - which is the hardest level - along with Mandarin and Cantonese etc.
Yeah. I'll pass for now! That's too many categories for me to handle on my own.
I can't believe @nemo is still missing in action. Tick tok buddy.
