Stumbled upon this great dev kit
It's supposed to be a smartwatch, but I'm more interested to use it as a tiny interactive screen that I can put anywhere around the house. Battery lasts quite a bit it seems, and it's easily rechargeable through USB.
And it's just $26.99.
Here's the "normal" version
This could be a nice Bitcoin Block time watch for example.

So r/cryptocurrency decided to sunset their Moon token and it's dumped like -90% in the last couple of hours:

I think Bitcoin has been sunset by many people, time to leave! /s

I'll be hanging out at lightning-poker.com for an hour if any fellow degenerates would like to join me.

Would love to join but I have stuff to do.
Hopefully someone else will join :)

Started a 21-day challenge in which I aimed to learn something new about Bitcoin or interact with its ecosystem every day. I would also record my progress on Stacker News.
Day 12 - Downloaded Club Bitcoin, a game offered by THNDR games. It doesn’t pay out much sats but oh boy, did I have fun reliving my adolescent days and playing Solitaire!

My agenda for today:
Work on image uploads
I accidentally deleted my existing code when I was in Berlin for bitcoin++ because I wanted to run stacker news code from my home machine. So I ran rsync to sync the code changes I made on my laptop to my home machine. However, I included the --delete option since I copied the command from here. Then it deleted everything in my stacker news repository that wasn't already on my laptop. And there was basically nothing on my laptop, lol
That was a classic linux experience. Fuck around and find out! haha
But so far, I think I only lost this image upload branch since I didn't push it anywhere yet. And the code was more just me messing around with ideas and actually fighting against NextJS to let me use forms. I was very surprised I actually need to use a library like formidable to be able to handle forms in the backend when not using the new app router.
So it shouldn't take long to get to the point I was before :)
Code review
I started to hold myself accountable by mentioning I am going to review something tomorrow. And to not be unreliable, I should indeed do a review then when I said I would!
So I am going to review:
I thought there was another PR where I mentioned that I would do a review today but I can't find it 🤔
Continue with first SN blog post about ranking, rewards and trust
We want to be more transparent how SN works under the hood.
Continue work on delphi.market
My conviction that my idea how a prediction market on lightning could work is as strong as ever. However, it's weird that I haven't done anything on it for a while. I just never took the time for it.
But today I will at least open up the code and write another test case or something. Maybe I have already gone down the path of "overengineering". But it started to feel really uncomfortable to change a lot of stuff and never be sure what broke and what not. I believe a good test suite can actually speed up development since you know exactly when your code starts working and your tests are your specs. I just shouldn't write tests for trivial stuff or tests that test the internal API which might break a lot. If I only test the public API, it shouldn't change a lot or at least not such that it's too hard to update the tests. I should write down how the new API works anyway, right?!

Afternoon sir.

Morning!
I am kind of glad we don't do this "gm" thing. Too much association with the crypto space.
But maybe I shouldn't be like this. Maybe they didn't invent it but the crypto space was just my first experience with this phenomenon where people just write "gm" in a Discord channel and everyone responds with "gm".
reply
I think we need something to separate us from the ‘crypto space’… I’ll take abolishing ‘GM!’ from Stacker greeting lexicon as a good step…

My original prediction was $100k by day 220. It doesn't seem likely, but perhaps we'll get there if the market truly spazzes out.

Now we're talking. I got a little Henny Youngman vibe. I can make my rounds in peace.

Yeah - the whole ‘take my wife… no please, take my wife…’ isn’t really my thing… terrible one-liners are though!
Further to yesterdays conversation about picking Nemo up from somewhere;
‘My wife went to the Caribbean…’ ‘Jamaica?’ ‘No. She went of her own accord…’
reply
I like that Jamaica line. I will have plenty of opportunities to use it around here. I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to stop going to those places.
reply
Very good.
I went to my doctor and he said ‘Haven’t seen you for a while..’ I said ‘No. I have been sick.’

That would be a great idea if electricity rates weren't damn near the highest in the U.S.
