what is the best way to clean out some small onchain sats? grouping them when low fee? 🧐
reply
just swap them into LN using a submarine swap service. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-network-submarine-swaps
I always recommend to have:
  • multiple onchain wallets, with multiple UTXOs, with various amounts.
  • never keep just one giant UTXO with all your BTC in it. Split it in small pieces, but not so small. Enough to be able to open regular LN channels.
  • make a good coin control and funds management on 3 levels, before you are moving to your cold storage. As I always said with this scheme:

yes, but they are not KYCed, so I want to make them together but then paying high fee is a bit stupid; But then it is too small amount hard to spend them directly, so I want to make them all together then spend it πŸ˜‚
It's like small coins in the real world, they are there but hard to spend, and heavy to carry around.!

yes, that is why I am asking is it the only option to group them when low fee? because I don't like having so many small on-chain sats everywhere πŸ˜‚ LN is the way to go for small stuff.

Ok so @sn and @k00b I was reading the (missed) RoundTable #1. Very good initiative to bring specialized people to discuss hot topics on SN. We should have more of these. I just want to zap the answers that explain better the questions because are giving me the right answers or more logical.
Can we have the #2 about specific BIPs?
Can we have answers only from people invited to answer those questions ? I saw in the #1 other people trying to sneak in and giving their "opinion" without being on the table.
I understand that these roundtables are like: sn is asking some specific questions about topic and invitees are answering. Otherwise we can have a mess there, and not clear answers, even starting useless debates.
reply
Tagging @kr because he'll be organizing the next one. We have a set of things we already want to try next time, but these suggestions are helpful.
It'd probably be extra helpful to come with roundtable topics along with guests for the topics.

@k00b when SN Saloon with audio group ?
reply
Has anyone written any good songs about Bitcoin? I’ve been wondering why some of these bitcoin only companies aren’t paying rappers or artists to incorporate bitcoin education into their music somehow.
Think about this. If strike or cashapp partners with a rapper to incorporate it in, and they then post their LN address as the album art cover. Plebs would donate left and right, incentivizing the promotion of bitcoin over the fiat shitpaper.

I need to write more. I still find myself sounding full of shit or boring occasionally.
Also good morning! You're beautiful!
reply
Here's what I do, which helps with both fiction and non-fiction:
Make simple declarative statements that tell the truth. Absolutely no ornament, just statements of fact, as best you understand them. You will find, in so doing, that most of the bullshit in your writing boils away. You'll also probably discover that you don't understand what you want to say nearly as well as you thought you did.
After you do this for a bit, you can start adding in the artfulness and phrasing. But the skeleton is declarative statements of fact.
It's interesting that this seems to deal with the "full of shit" problem and also the "boring" problem at the same time.
reply
Well articulated! An algorithm is exactly what I need.
  1. make simple declarative statements that tell the truth
  2. remove unintentional ornament
  3. until you've written something worthwhile, go back to (1)
  4. add any optional "art"

Mornin freaks,
Having trouble using the CR Touch auto leveler on the 3d printer.... Installed a new fan in my S9 battery, but it looks like it overheating and shutting off... Still having trouble publishing events in the Nostr Dev course section 5.....
Rainy day, about to walk to 7/11 buy a doughnut, drink coffee, and watch youtube videos about react/3d printers/bitcoin/nostr
Should probably continue with replit, finish reading a book, and go through the crypto cloaks space heater guide.

When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light It was cold, I lost my hold To the shadows of the night No sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark A rainbow in the dark Do your demons, do they ever let you go? When you've tried, do they hide, deep inside Is it someone that you know You're just a picture, you're an image caught in time We're a lie, you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down 'Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found Feel the magic, I feel it floating in the air But it's fear, and you'll hear It calling you beware Look out There's no sight of the morning coming There's no sight of the day You've been left on your own Like a rainbow Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah You're a rainbow in the dark Just a rainbow in the dark No sign of the morning You're a rainbow in the dark

Howdy gang!!! Saturday is here and the weekend has begun, time to recharge and spend some quality time with the family, friends or your significant other, but also I want you to give yourself some pampering because you deserve it, you're worth it my friend, perhaps a nice juicy steak and a couple of brewskies or maybe a nice walk at the park with an ice cream cone, the world is your oyster my friend. I wish you an incredible Saturday, may it be filled with joy, profit and most of all, love. Be well and stay frosty!!!

wow, it's so much cooler than telegram @DarthCoin

I have my telegram gang that I have to teach bitcoin stuff. nostr is just hanging out and is not working properly. I am not doing for zaps, I am doing it to teach people. This is not a podcast, this is 1and1 sessions. and zapstr is not 1to1 audio session, is just a audio track music shit.

I kinda give up on posting on nostr. Iris and Snort are kind of useless now, do not connect to any relay. Using Onyx on mobile is the only one that still works nice for me, but I do not like to use mobile for this kind of stuff.
Also not so interesting stuff posted on nostr. SN is much better to consume information.
Nevertheless, nostr market is very interesting for me.

This is a really interesting observation. I have experienced the same thing with my usage. That is, I tend to gravitate towards SN over nostr. That's different from what I expected because I used to gravitate more towards Twitter than Reddit in the past. Thoughts?
reply
SN's reddit-ness i think is what makes it click -- content is free flowing, letting its free market determine value and what others should be looking at, rather than relying on algorithms.
You're virtually invisible to start without a following on Twitter/nostr, whereas here it's a level playing field.
reply
I agree. Primal on desktop works pretty well for me, but the content isn't that interesting. SN is much more informative and fun. I'm still optimistic about nostr in the long run.
reply
Also, I am not sure if it is the nature of social media integrated like an ego game? With all the numbers and likes, is it meant to be designed for people complete for eyeballs?
what happens to simply sharing things so to learn something new from others...

yes, nostr became quite boring, most popular posts are almost from the same people, and so hard to find good info in the sea full of crowds.
I only repost stuff over there these days.
reply
I will agree with you here, there is a lot of value in SN, the pace is more align with me. In the socials network on top of the protocol nostr, there is more "instant" and "news" topic.
I came back here two days ago and the difference is very noticeable.

It took me quite some time to fall asleep again last night, but I learned to embrace moments like this; like I mentioned before, this is one of the problem-solving hacks, so I started to figure out one of my to-dos: finding a leather craftsman to make a hand-carry big bag for short trips and when in the plane, mainly for my laptop and notebooks and other important things.
I already have the design in my mind, with small details, e.g. how to better organize books and things, because it's so easy to damage the paper if you put it along with other stuff, why not just make a spot for it? So easy yet barely anyone make it, so all I lack is someone skilled to make it happen.
I don't know if it's just me, but after I went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, I don't like buying already-made things anymore because I want my Bitcoin well spent - something practical, beautiful and can last for years; And I realized that making things with the best people I can find is the way to go, not only I can do quality control but I can also get to see and learn how things are being made from scratch:)
reply
You should checkout @theleathermint on Twitter. They're a bitcoin-only leather craftsman.

I find, focusing on my breathing helps me fall asleep when I struggle to catch zzzs.
