Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Has anyone watched this Fred Kreuger guy? Talk about listening to someone outside the echo chamber. He has a take on the future of bitcoin I have never heard before. Plus, his name is scary.
Wasn't he on What Bitcoin Did recently?
I saw him on TFTC. He's probably making the rounds.
No, it was TFTC. My mistake.
Interesting guy. He knows bitcoin, but he's a rich Wall Street guy. Definitely not of the SN culture, but it's good to get a different perspective.
Seems like just another investment for him but for Bitcoin to be adopted broadly it needs all kinds of folks to be proponents, not just the hardcore folks like us that spend our days on SN or Nostr or Bitcoin twitter.
Let's make a bet.
If ETFs are approved this week, we break ATH before halving.
I will bet up to 10k sats.
47k π
Still over 2k sats/$
Member the end of Fight Club where the narrator tries to fake fatally shooting himself to get rid of Durden?
Thats what the US gov will try to do. It will shoot itself and make it look fatal to try and get rid of Bitcoin and other dollar adversaries.
Bitcoin = Tyler Durden
How will the US shoot itself?
Did you reply to yourself?
It will keep rates high and default on debt causing markets to crash and a depression significantly strengthening the dollar as long as it lasts. But timing is everything. Ride the BTC bullmarket until it ends i guess. Thats all. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
Super excited for this week in Bitcoin. I feel it will be historic for those of us that stack to cold storage. Freeze those stats winter style and sleep like a baby. Avoid the ETFs like the plague
I am hoping this ETF stuff can be finally put to bed this week
Same. Letβs move on and keep building! Lots of work to do to scale!
18 days keeping my hat on, only one more to go for my personal record π£
I think I'll have to write a plugin for
dwmso I can see my balance on SN here:https://m.stacker.news/11278
Currently, I continuously have to scroll up to check my balance before zapping and I think I am the only one who has this problem.
Oh fun!
another 333 problem for you!
Can we get some territory tools? There's like 70 territories now and I can't even tell when someone posts in mine.
is there a way to see what the top performing territories are today? I might have missed this feature if it exists.
No you didn't miss this feature
I agree, I have the same problem. We're missing this feature: Getting notifications for posts in your territory
muting is already here? π
I'm not trying to mute my own territory. I would like to know when posts and comments in it are made given that I'm paying for it.
I guess the current solution is you can mute others, and then all the posts in your own territory would be showing in recent - cutting down the noise so that you can see what you want to see.
or simply keeping an eyes on that page: https://stacker.news/~fedimint
but maybe @ekzyis need to build something like a subscribe territory post option for founders?
So I have to mute everyone else's territory to see my own?
I use the PWA, I can't just type in to a single page.

Howdy Stackers!
@ekzyis is trying to zap to zero. #380810
I propose we start an anti-campaign and try to zap him to 1M sats instead. Or at very least make his zapping to zero as challenging as possible.
Anyone else in?
I predict this is going to be a great failure
Maybe so. Let the stackers decide.
would be kinda funny to constantly zap him 1 sat so he never hits 0
I was trying to zap him late at night to keep him from hitting 0. It turns out he just goes to sleep after he zaps away his last sat and it doesn't bother him at all.
I have something special planned for tomorrow's post related to this. Stay tuned :)
The goal of every stacker should be to fill the front page with only their posts:

Today I translated DarthCoin's article to German https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/21-bitcoin-orange-pillen-fur-nocoiner
Fantastic
A fatherβs empathy
Nothing anyone says, nothing you read will ever prepare you enough to be a father.
Until you become one and are struggling in the vast ocean.
My boy has this annoying habit of playing with his toys before shower time. I get very exasperated with his inexplicable behaviour.
Of course, I wish I can shout at him to shower, just like I bellow at my unrepentant students in my booming voice. But I donβt want the lady boss in my family to have a word with me.
So I bite my tongue. And hold my temper. Which leads to some rather exaggerated sighing.
Tonight, in a rare moment of realisation, I put myself in my sonβs shoes. Even though he plays with Lego blocks every day at the childcare centre, nothing beats playing with his toys at home. Itβs comforting. Just like how homemakers gobble up Korean dramas. Heβs just trying to fulfill his personal KPI before the night runs out and he has to go sleep. π€
But having this insight doesnβt make parenting easier. Because his desire to play is insatiable. I can make it a point to create more play time for him but he would still delay this and decline that due to his innate need to play.
Which explains why Iβm furiously typing this out at 11pm. Because I need to sleep. So does him. Another nightly battle tenuously fought. Gretchen Rubin said it best: the days are so (bloody) long.
https://m.stacker.news/11265
Yeah itβs a constant balance but aggression is needed. This idea that the world is calm and we all must get along isnβt true. The universe is chaos and boundaries have to be set. Just like we have to find that fine line of privacy and security the same has to go with aggression and passivity. Need that balance. I rather your son crumble after getting hollering from dad than from some random stranger. At least you are there to show him how to manage such situations in life. Even when they come from you.
I agree with you! Iβm trying to save hollering for the really big things though - such as poking a balloon stick at his baby sisterβs face. With the other stuff, it feels like I lose if I throw my temper because he cries n nothing gets done n the night gets longer haha. Thx for your perspective

Because itβs just easier to grab him by the shoulders and drag him to the bathroom haha. The trick is to laugh about it so that he will laugh too - even though that is the last thing on earth I wanna do.
sounds brutal, not sure I would like that if I'm a kid again - maybe it works with boys?π
Don't worry, my wife resorts to that same tactic sometimes.
or just leave him alone? πππ
okay you do you, I'm off to sleep soon, which means no one would help you with anything:)!
would this too brutal for a kid?
I could have tried this ignoring him tactic but my wife would not be amused. It would be way past his bedtime n he canβt wake up the day after. She is the one who takes him to school before 8.30am haha
curious, did you ever think of homeschooling?
Actually nope. Iβm a teacher who works in the public school system. Of course it has its flaws but I think the socialisation aspect is something that is hard to replicate in a homeschooling setting. I like hanging out with people too haha
You definitely don't want to violate the "happy wife happy life" theory of marriage.
The ONE principle that matters
Been there, tried that. Kids are on their own time and have their own priorities. Especially when they're little, that kind of approach might even seem like it's working and then they just randomly get distracted by something else.
@Undisciplined you have no idea how comforting your words are to me - sleep-deprived after my baby girl woke me up at 5. βKids are on their own timeβ - simple n profound. Kinda cheesy but Iβm feeling grateful for your words. I will say this to myself every day haha
I appreciate you sharing your parenting experiences. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds them very relatable.
so what would be the solution?
taking notes π
Flexibility and patience.

I thought about setting up a parenting territory, but the 100k sats is a risk I m not willing to take at this point in time
For some reason, I thought there already was a parenting territory. I'll think about putting up the sats for it.
I got beaten to ~econ when territories launched and nothing else struck me as being worth founding, but parenting is definitely something I care enough about.
Let's have a drink on the farmers!!! Prost Jungs, viel GlΓΌck.
Day 21 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 708 sats on 7Jan2024!

Good Monday everyone!! The week has begun and hope you guys recharged this weekend, a whole new week to show what we're made of, time to strategize our goals and start one step at a time, you've got this my friend. I wish you all a wonderful Monday. May it be filled with success, profit but most of all, love. You're awesome and you're important. Kick rear and keep on keeping on. Let's do this!! Be well and stay frosty!!
π€ Mysterious sats where you go - noticing a difference between the Sats raised via this SN post and the sats landing in the redirected account @runraiser. Did I somehow not set it to exactly 100%? Or another reason why 513 sats gone missing. Who can solve the puzzle?

what happened to the daily pill?
@Lux
I eat them all ;)
The Truth that will set you free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm_jXrYgdvM
but sharing is caring, share some pills to us!
I wanted to mark my 100 day cowboy hat celebration with a challenge - but that day coincided with a week with my family ( I'm strictly off my phone when I'm with them).
I was planning to put it in retro gaming territory, but signpost it from here (to keep the saloon from clutter).
Although I thought it was a good idea (and didn't submit the challenge because of the above)
I wonder if any clever stacker could worked out my system (or any non-random system) that I chose to use to determine whether a shot would have been a hit or a miss...
I'd have given feedback like "too high, you've hit a vulture" or "too low, you've hit a cactus"
There would easily have been more of the former, too high shots than too low ones.
I'm all for pushing the envelope and seeing what fun, off the wall things are able to be achieved using SN.
Though the question remains, is there any bright stacker out there able to work out the system I was going to use?
Congrats. Making it to 103 hat years, is no small feat.
@OneOneSeven's century up next.
If I were them I'd one hundred percent stop at their nym #.
By the look of it, it looks like they enjoys puzzles too!
Love puzzles! Yours is interesting, let me think about it..
I made a few with sat rewards via ln.cash before https://nitter.net/lncash/status/1627489555619119105#m
I'll try and get my noggin around yours too!
Day 268 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.
...and 68 push-ups. (30 - 30 - 8)
__@_'-'
π
π«‘ tomorrow is going to be a momentous day!
Quite likely we get ETF approval, timing is too good for this...
If you've nailed those timings... I'm coming to you for next week's lottery numbers in advance. Day 420 with 69 pushups on 100k would have been the dream but we are where we are.
Day 49 of horseposting everyday
Horse Stance: 2 minutes x 4 set (2 morning, 2 now)
π
https://m.stacker.news/11184
max push-ups: 30
π«‘
Back in the routine?
...no :(
Did you at least enjoy your time away?
Yes, although I can't work out if it was a holiday or not lol
How was yours?
One of those⦠more hard work than working then.
It was ok. Had a couple of days off. Weird weather here at the moment - itβs really wet & mild and makes working outdoors actually more challenging than if we had a freeze.
Oh yeah for sure. I'll take frost over rain annnny day.
Oh
ETF approval this week?
My guess is noβ¦ and when it comes in the Spring it wonβt have the mid-term effect people think..
Sec can't delay forever. I've heard rumblings of an expectation of the 15th. But hell sometimes people put rumours out just to have something to say.

Yeah, I agree! It's a great tool. It's also what we SN devs use for local development :)
Good idea
def would zap whoever make it happen HARD πβ‘οΈ
Nice. @ekzyis go ahead and make that one happen. would be great inside ~security.
But PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy so I think it would also be a great fit for ~privacy ;)
lol
