There was a post for Bitcoin For Charity, with a list of bitcoin addresses supposedly for each charity. I have no idea of it was legit or not, but let's say it was a scammer, and the bitcoin addresses were for the scammer's wallet instead?
Is there a method to "report fraud" or something along those lines? And if reviewing such a report it was deemed to be fraud (or otherwise suspect), what would be done? Simply delete it, ... or left but some warning message added?
Bitcoin Charity List - Bitcoin For Charity

Today i tried to strike up a conversaion about Bitcoin to a stranger and its very uncomfortable because of the inconvenient truths behind the current financial system that you kinda have to expose. But needles to say he already knew alot about it, about the mission to decentralize, and he thought that was cool. But his argument basically was that why does it matter if a currency is decentralized or not, And that ultimately you are just replacing one system that benefits the few that hold most the money, with another.

My opinion is that the few will hodl the most, just like the alpha in a pack of animals frequently gets the best.
But the issue is that right now those "few" can actually take even more of the money without most of us realizing (debasing of the currency or through inflation), and that can be seen by the 1% getting richer than ever in history.
It's my 2 sats, but I frequently quote inflation numbers all around the world and how they are often related to mismanagement.

I'm just about to head off to work. My coworkers and I will finish preparing a motor yacht for immediate launch. (though once the haul-out crew finally lifts it, the painters have to patch up all the blocking spots.

zero base fee allows your node to be considered as a hop when pickhardt payments are being used and other payment algorithms that prefer zero base fee
there's also cheaper micropayments

are pickhardt payments in use? I though it was a thing still on development.
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Semisol 26 May 2022
it is in development, but it should be out soon.
also again, base fees are bad for micropayments: it's the same if you send 1 sat or 1000
