I just got rewards? I guess these are yesterday's.
reply
don't you find it suspicious that the SN glitches happen in the same time as banks glitches? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
reply
me too 👀 what a nice surprise haha
reply
Yeah rewards didn't fully run last night for some reason so I just ran them manually so that we wouldn't miss a day
reply
Thank you. Best thing to wake up to on a workday

Guys I'm missing 2193 Sats on Lightning to make a payment that I've had my eye on for Months. I've exhausted my channels, all my liquidity, and the state of the mempool rn makes refilling way too expensive and time consuming.
If I could just get them here on SN I have enough inbound liquidity to manage from here.
Is there anything I could so for you in exchange for this amount of Sats?
reply
I will pay you 3000 sats if you draw me a picture of @DarthCoin doing a force choke on SBF.

Awesome haha

beautiful, thanks man

Daaamn thank you my friend, you're a man of your word, thanks a ton.

You're welcome. Hope you managed to buy the thing you were after. : )

reply
My friend you wanna make 500 Sats? Post a lightning invoice for 3500 and send me back 3000 here on SN, see if I can find a route to you with any of my other channels
reply
That 500 sats could get me out of a couple of jams

Buddy over here already solved my liquidity issue so this offer is expired

This is the extent of my drawing capabilities. It's honestly 100000 times better than I expected it to be

Been doing a lot of testing of GrapheneOS. Moved my main phone from CalyxOS yesterday. Not without hiccups. Specifically the way the two OSs handle apps that need Google services.
I haven't used Graphene in a couple years. It has come a long way but so far it seems like some things are more smooth on Calyx like Signal which needs Google services. I'm still digging into the Graphene settings and docs so I may be missing a few things.
Also have had some odd issues with sim cards but that could be a red herring because they can be finicky when you are swapping them between phones.
I'll share my experiences using GrapheneOS as a daily driver if people are interested.
reply
Also been trying out Obtainium for a while on Calyx and now Graphene. Experienced rate limiting for the first time yesterday which was frustrating.
I will say those that have been promoting Obtainium over apps stores like F-droid aren't mentioning some of the issues. F-droid is far from perfect but using RSS feeds or Obtainium is not viable for novice users yet IMO. I like Obtainium btw and I'm sticking with it for now. Its a new project and I like the direction.
reply
Please don't take this as fact but my feeling after less than 24 hours is that while Graphene has more frequent updates CalyxOS might be more stable. That could be untrue and maybe a small sample size but that's what I'm feeling right now. There's always tradeoffs.
I like that Graphene doesn't come with a bunch of apps like CalyxOS. CalyxOS isn't bloated but Graphene is sparse.
reply
I made the transition from proprietary android. I never tried Calyx. I wrote two posts about my experience. There are a few SNers who are incredibly knowledgeable about graphene, including @03365d6a53 and @final.
reply
Also moving Blixt and all my other bitcoin apps wasn't to bad but I'm not sure I wanna keep using Blixt after having to close all my lightning channels on it. Appreciating the simplicity of Phoenix. Blixt is great but running a node on your phone has tradeoffs.

Hey gang!!! It's Tuesday and the week is getting some steam!!! Loving it and ready to give this week a good shake! Let's do this!! Hope your day is going amazingly and you're enjoying every minute of it, if it's going a tad difficult or not going your way, have no fear and just try a different approach at things or try a different perspective, remember that everything has a solution, we might not see it yet, but it does and it shall pass and you, my friend, will still be here, standing. Just remember to stay humble and be thankful for the learning experience. You are important! As always I wish you a phenomenal week and stay frosty and be well my good friend! Thank you for being!!

Thanks for cheering us on!

I'm really glad you remembered. Loosing access to your Bitcoin is heartbreaking, I know.
reply
I'm curious if people got rewards payouts this morning.
reply
I was surprised to not get anything either. I wonder if Texas time zone change might've messed with our time calculation.
reply
I wonder who ended up getting them. It seems like a lot of the normal recipients came up empty.
reply
I just ran it manually so that we wouldn't miss a day, but the rewards task didn't finish last night for some reason.
reply
Until proven otherwise, I say we keep blaming daylight savings.
reply
My current theory is our reward cutoff was too aggressive and rewards were going to far more people than normal.
As is, if your reward proportion for a single rewardable action is <= 0.0001 we don't give you rewards for it. eg if the rewards pool is 100k sats, it needs to be at least 10 sats of rewards to qualify. I think the majority of rewarded actions might've been <10 sats. We should probably lower this threshold because if you have many actions qualifying for 1 sat rewards in a day, they can accumulate to meaningful amounts.
reply
Only three people got a couple hundred sats. There's probably a bug. Looking into it.

Did you get any for comments?
Not today. But I was pretty quiet here yesterday. Damn Benjamin Franklin and his Daylight Saving lol

Me? No
reply
I haven't received anything either. It might be a bug caused by the shift in time. I saw the count down clock for the reward pool reached zero, one hour later today. Which is why I think it might have something to do with the time change.
Other than that: Ain't no thing but a chicken wing!
reply
Is there nothing Daylight Savings can't take from us?
reply
Lmao. Nope! We just have to live with the savings we getting. Lol.

Not today!

No need to worry about that. Just enjoy the saloon's special: 2 for the price of 1. I see @DarthCoin is taking full advantage of the special. Lol ;)
reply
Not worried, just curious
reply
I had the same reaction. Then I had the meta-reaction of wondering at my motivations for reacting. So much introspection so early :)
reply
I got used to the routine of adjusting my default zap after checking my rewards and it just threw me off a little.
reply
It really threw me too. I can't remember the last time I didn't get a reward. I just assumed it was a posting day rather than a zapping day, but I was commenting my usual annoying amount yesterday.
reply
Maybe that means double rewards today. Zap harder. Post harder.
That's fair. I'm sure we'll get an update from k00b. In the meantime, enjoy the madness.

A little help with your non-native language:
CURIOUS, a neutral term, basically connotes an active desire to learn or to know.

and in your native language the word humor doesn't exist?

I think we just have a higher standard for it.

she have a song about banks, loans and disobedience, right?

I am shocked. The multi faceted Mr. Coin. You made my day. Joan is a wonderful person. We played together at some holiday show years ago. I think it was me and Bob with her.

What’s an intriguing thing you learnt about Bitcoin recently?
reply
reply
Someone just wrote in response to my post that Bitcoin is a low time-preference thing. Would you happen to know what it means?
reply
This is the response I got from GPT: Low time preference with Bitcoin means you're really good at waiting and not spending all your Bitcoins right away. You save some Bitcoins for the future because you believe they will be worth more later. It's like not using all your Bitcoins now and keeping some for later when you think they'll be even more valuable.
It's basically a waiting game. People are holding or hodling their Bitcoin in anticipation of a possible price increase. That's my understanding based on the GPT response above.

So funny!

Lol, I love it. More than enough girlfriends to go around. Not enough Bitcoin though.

Yeah Bitcoin will be enough ..... Thats by design....
