how come @ekzyis sleep so little, reading someone's long discussion at 2am 👀

or did you even sleep at all?


guys, have a try at Turkish coffee, so easy to make it at home and nice being self-sufficient:)! and Starbucks is bad.

reply
and Starbucks is bad.

The one I already drank actually tasted quite good, I just didn't know I was supposed to drink it with a straw so I spilled half all over my room lol :)

Didn't see there was a hole in the cap and tried to shake it ...

But that was also fun :)

Who drinks coffee with a straw? Even if it's iced?

People can be weird sometimes :)

how come @ekzyis sleep so little, reading someone's long discussion at 2am 👀

Idk, exciting times for SN and having so much fun on SN rn :)

Not sure when the last time was I had so much fun over extended periods of time, maybe never :)

or did you even sleep at all?

I did sleep, I just did wake up feeling like wow, that was a good sleep, let's see what time it is

It's been 2 hours

Well... lol :)

wtf, just lost my draft response to this using snort for the second time for some unknown reason ... probably pressed something which immediately closed the reply. i can't be the first one, right? right?

going to try primal now.

does definitely not feel good if you're finally willing to interact more with nostr

and then stuff like this happens lol

i know, it's not the fault of the protocol. but come on guys, snort is a big popular client, no?

is the snort dev on SN? lol

https://m.stacker.news/7239

not bad actually, first territory reward was 5 sats. then 114. now 5742. lol :)

I don't mind but let's say uhm, I'm quite busy so not sure if I'll still remember this request in 5 minutes lol :)

Still have to look at median image fees (and other stuff I wanted to look up but I forgot) but every day I forget to do it, we're gathering more data so the query will become more accurate, lol :)

SN just feels like a big lol right now :)

hey @k00b, i started getting an error today when i log in with lightning. i can obviously still successfully log in, but when i go to paste the data in phoenix i get the message "this data uses an unknown format and cannot be processed." should i be worried? i don't currently have a secondary log in method

reply

Which Phoenix version are you using?

I am also using Phoenix for login and it works fine. But I am using legacy mode.

should show "legacy mode" or not:

btw, tried out non-legacy mode but that also worked fine ... so not sure what's going wrong on your side.

But maybe you just indeed need to update your wallet :)

reply

version 2.0.14. maybe it's just me

reply

lol, I am on 2.0.11

iOS or Android? I am on Android

android. here's the error

reply

Not much hope but let's try @ACINQ

reply

They told me I can send them a mail if someone has a problem with their Phoenix wallet max every two months. That was their response when I asked if it's okay if I write them if a stacker has a problem with their Phoenix wallet and it might also be in their interests to respond on SN - or at least let me forward their response :)

And it will be 2 months in 10 days, so I can't do this again currently, haha

But maybe you can just write them? :) support@phoenix.jitbit.com

They seem to respond pretty quickly :)

You could potentially even just send them a link to this thread potentially haha

But be polite! You're representing SN now lol

To avoid being worried, consider adding another method. It sounds like there might be a bug though on one of our ends

This is not the Boom, I am awake I meant, lol... (/cc @Natalia)

reply

much to read, and curious why cc me 👀

reply

because I like you :)

No, jk (lol), I think we discussed some sleep stuff somewhere (can't find right now, our search still sucks) and I mentioned how a famous ASMRtist once said that she just wakes up like Boom, I am awake and then she gets stuff done

but could have been someone else also :)

reply

@k00b should the pinned saloon post show up on each territory?

It should. It has a null subName so it should go everywhere.

We do want every territory to have their own saloon though eventually

Learning about bitcoin and holding btc is empowering especially when price goes up. But theres a downside too. Price can drop and peoplecan fud it and it doesent feel so empowering.

So I have been researching health and diet. And made some changes in my life. And that is actually empowering. Losing weight, looking better, feeling better. There seems to be no real downside.

Need to remember to proof-read posts more. Always spotting new things to change.

How many passes do you all tend to do for longer write-ups?

reply

depends, sometimes too many so I need to push myself to send them out, otherwise I would keep editing 😂

reply

on a similar theme, does anyone have any good guides on writing styles?

reply

One recipe,

  • Read, does it make sense?
  • Re-read, change
  • Read it some more

Sometimes you've subconsciously written something that when you read it again refers to something important. The body 'n' mind are truly a great combination.

Oh yes, also throw in a large bunch of thyme.

reply

Lol sounds like a lot of kneeding, like focaccia bread. Mmmm 🇮🇹

Agree it’s sometimes best to hold something back another day, just to take another stab at it with a fresh set of eyes. I’m just a habitual editor.

Would like the ability to mute comments. Some people take the opportunity to have their daily conversations under other people's comments and it blows up notifications. I've had SN notifications turned off because of no ability to control this.

reply

We have an issue open for unsubscribing from branches of child comments arbitrarily. Until then the notifications settings sledgehammer is what we've got.

reply

I have the same request, despite possibly being one of the culprits mentioned.

reply

Have you tried this yet?

https://m.stacker.news/7135

reply

Ahhh cool! Haven't checked those in awhile or didn't notice it last time I did. I think that's perfect. I turned it on and then couldn't see your notification so that's great. Thank you!

reply

Jeez, for a moment I thought that was a burn!

reply

I didn't know that was there, but I don't think I want to make such a universal action. It's only on rare occasions that I want out of a conversation.

Thanks for sharing that though.

reply

I had to disable those notifications a few days after I started really using SN. I know I'll miss some important notifications, but I couldn't keep up. This way, I make sure I'm notified when someone replies to me directly, and then I can read all the replies when I have time.

reply

I think getting this PR merged is what this thread is about

Currently reviewing this PR about nostr crossposting improvements though

reply

Yep. Nice to know the team is already working on it. Interesting that it's a difficult function to implement.

reply

I'll see what I can do. @TonyGiorgio, thanks for bringing this up! I tend to forget that not everyone wants to literally read everything on SN like me, lol

A trust is defined as "A legal relationship in which one party holds a title to property while another party has the entitlement to the beneficial use of that property." Essentially sort of a glorified contract. Trusts ARE AMAZING and have a lot of interesting things you can learn about, but for the sake of this post we will only cover the two major elements only: trustee and beneficiary.

The trustee is the one who is basically working to keep the trust working and going, whereas the beneficiary simply benefits from the exchange and does not have a direct hand in the operations of the trust.

ALL ACTIONS IN LIFE ARE TECHNICALLY TRUST ACTIONS... EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. BY YOU READING THIS POST, I AM THE TRUSTEE AND YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY: MY JOB IS TO ENSURE YOU ARE GOING TO BENEFIT GREATLY BY READING IT AND I NEED TO FIX IT IF YOU AREN'T.

So, for example, when you have an encounter with a police officer, because they are the "public servant," then they are the trustee and you are the beneficiary... Their responsibility is to “serve and protect,” but the problem is that it often doesn’t quite go that way.

All court cases, all interactions with other humans, all letters or communication are ALL trust actions. All of life is a series of trust actions. Someone is always the trustee and another is always the beneficiary... and if that LAW OF GOD is violated at any point then that particular interaction will fall apart in flames.

A "reverse trust scam" is when someone like a judge or police officer act as though YOU are the trustee and they are the beneficiary...

"Legal conventions since Roman times mandate that living people must be described or denoted in all small letter names. Under Roman Civil Law they only lose that status when they become debtors, at which point a free man partially loses his status and is named using upper and lower case style conventions. Slaves are named using all capital letters." -Anna Von Reitz in the book Disclosure 101

Exactly that they tried to do with me in a court room.
But I asked the important question and in the end I was the one controlling the whole room

But yes, I was also prepared with my own trust papers... in case they will be more "aggressive"... but wasn't necessary anymore. They knew that I will win and they closed the case and left the room.

I know I don't have the time for my own territory. It would be nice but its not very smart creating something you won't manage. That's just a bad look and annoying. I just hope those who create their own territories understand that it takes a ton of work managing it.

reply

It may be a mistake to give maintainer/creater of territory portion of sats generated there.

reply

It is a good incentive but there will always be those who abuse the system. At least the community will gravitate towards good territories that are managed well. My territory for now is the Saloon. ;)

Don't speak like that buddy. Just know that you are loved. In your personal life and in the cowboy community. There's more than one way to be free. Just ask @Natalia and @DarthCoin. I admire the way they live because to me that's what freedom looks like. I would recommend striving for a life like theirs.

Please do :) perfect place for it!

better focus on the one you want to see the most - many restaurants fail because they want to serve many dishes 👀 for me, I'm gonna create "nothing" ( no territory for me, at least not now) but actually focus on the creating.

Enjoy whatever down time you can. Re territories, I was really excited about them. Then I made that post of my daughter's gecko and realized what a mess would be made of the home sub. If you notice, I asked for a mute sub option in meta almost immediately!
I'm torn. I have faith in Keyan and I think he's thought it through. Whatever form it ultimately takes should protect the experience of those only interested in talking about bitcoin.
On the other hand, we're here to disrupt the status quo. Massive change is usually messy. Having weird territories all fueled and rewarded by bitcoin is exciting. Right now it's chaotic, but I imagine it gets sorted out. I for one got a lot of pleasure from the Stacker News of even a few months ago. It was a cozy space where I could share my thoughts with people I like. But, if bitcoin is going to tear down walls I can't expect my little space to stay the same.
