The universe is really interesting, be careful of what you wish for - I came to the place where I'm now with the idea to working on my cooking skills this winter ( well, not much can be done during the cold ) so all I need is sunshine, fresh ingredients, and walkable to nature, pretty low maintenance isn't it.
Then I randomly met a girl when I was wandering around, and during the first day! and we ended up having coffee together, and then she invited me home for dinner and OMG and she cooks so well! and stay tuned for some upcoming cooking fun in the saloon:) 👩🏽🍳
I'm in the mood for a @mallardshead holy-shit-what-did-I-just-learn-and-why-didnt-I-know-that style post.
Well I found my way back. Feels good. I gotta get warmed up first : #417342
I know, I miss that guy.
I might've overtipped him on Intercontinental Energy Grids and set the bar too high.
So he feels like he can't come back till he's got another 200k piece in him?
Something makes me think that guy is unimpressed by any amount of money that can't buy a new automobile, so it probably isn't your fault.

Does it protect the L1 from the spam that Ordinals bring, though? What about from the scammers at Bitcoin Magazine?
Howdy!

TIT (today I taught) someone on nostr that reusing a public address to receive bitcoin wouldn't result in the private key being leaked, but only privacy of any other transaction involving it. Just doing my small part.
Day 38 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 717 sats on 24Jan2024! Running total: 29,393 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 39's comment
Good luck to everyone fiat mining today ⛏️
Day 5 of clipping podcasts on Fountain. Sats earned 120 Followers 3
Today's clip is also from Part of the Problem ep. 1083 Libertarians vs Klause Shwab.
It's a topic near and dear to @TomK's heart: the complete fantasy that is electric vehicles.
You are my first zap on fountain haha
Don’t forget us when you become rich n famous
A rising tide lifts all boats.
Comment of the day
I'm one of your three followers :)
Much appreciated. Let's see what these fountain features can do!
That was you, Thanks! Zapped you there and I'll zap you here
Ooooooh yeah! Thanks
Howdy partners 🤠!!! Trying to get through the week! Been a busy one partners! Can’t wait for the weekend!
We’re almost at the finish line!
Yesssssssssssssssss, today I am happy, I just went to a local tech store to visibilize btc asking if I can buy a pc mouse using bitcoin lightning network, surprise for me is that they said yes! Funny thing is I didn't need it 😂 but it's always good to have a spare one at home, of course I bought it, looks like something inevitable is simmering, thanks bitcoiners, we're making it happen ❤️⚡ https://media.tenor.com/xtXONS0VR3YAAAAM/singe-monkey.gif
In my neck of the woods, cowboys eat beans for breakfast. Get your protein Cowboys!
Stack Sats and stay humble!
https://m.stacker.news/13725
I probably will be eating beans for breakfast, though mine will be of the garbanzo variety.
Cheers!
Man that looks tasty AF
tabasco fan ! Yee-Haw 🤠
@elvismercury shared a video about Homework for Life, a method that recommends that we write down a story based on something that happens to us that day - as a way to remember the years by.
But what if the main thing that happens today is something bad?
Today I had my target setting with my Reporting Officer. She relayed feedback given to her by my Year Head. The Year Head had seen me sitting down on a chair while addressing my students; she felt that I should stand up to talk to them.
Why didn’t my Year Head give me feedback directly? Why did she immediately assume that I had a lapse of professionalism? Grrrrrrr
From freezing winter to spring like weather over night is healthy right?
😂😹

Beat me today! Great sets though
Thanks man. :)
It's rather quiet in the saloon these days. Maybe someone should post something controversial and rile everybody up?
Happy to oblige
When will ETH flippening of BTC take place? 🤪
As in, you think it will happen?
In all honesty, yes. ETH long-term holders have exceeded BTC long-term holders.
But ofc nothing gives me financial peace of mind like sats
Udi isn't a bad guy.
Take that back!
I concur. Or at least, I find him far more tolerable than many of the more celebrated voices in the space who have succumbed to Ordinals Derangement Syndrome.
This should get things rolling. How about Pete Rizzo on WBD? Did you watch that episode?
What did you think of it?
More or less similar to you, though I thought Rizzo was a little callous about the fee ramifications, and I think that's what annoyed Peter too more than his arguments. Both he and you are right about lightning's shortcomings which have been exposed in a glaring way lately, but I think bottom up adoption is critical and shouldn't be dismissed so easily.
Yeah. I had it playing in the background while I was working, so I was only half paying attention.
On monetary vs. platform maximalism: I think I agree with Rizzo in that it could be beneficial to soak up some of the "use cases" of alt-coins (i.e. gambling) if only to encourage additional revenue and investment into the space. It's complicated, though. For example if we see MEV begin to emerge in Bitcoin as a result of ordinals / inscriptions then this could impact mining decentralization. One also calls into question the value of VC investment if it's directed mostly towards enabling crappy forms of gambling.
On trojan horse adoption: Agnostic. I think Bitcoin is doing fine and its main selling point will continue to be hard money.
On collateral damage & scaling: Here is my extra spicy take... People are not mad at ordinals, they are mad that fees are high and that Lightning doesn't work so well in such an environment. I think Rizzo raised this point, to which I agree. Many influencers have spent the last several years evangelizing Lightning as the second coming of Christ without really understanding it, so of course now they are responding to ordinals with all these deranged takes. I'm sorry you cannot onboard people in Africa or whatever, but frankly Lightning isn't an adequate solution to this problem with or without ordinals.
Wow! Excellent analysis right here at the bar. Do you think MEV will lead to centralization regardless if all these ETF driven volume and price predictions are accurate?
I am not sure how it could play out. Seems like nobody can predict anything that happens in this space, lol
But we DO know that MEV is a big problem on platforms such as Ethereum which have active markets for NFTs, altcoins, etc. While Ethereum has a number of other compounding centralizing pressures which simply aren't applicable to Bitcoin (LSDs, staking rewards), I think it would be reckless to dismiss MEV as a threat.
It is. No idea if it means anything other than reflecting how quiet it is in BTC-land.
Maybe the Saloon should shut down!
It’s not good to have liked mind individuals gathering and sharing thoughts.
Also I heard bad things about those users that hang out in Saloons….

Speaking of Reddit...
This article reports that they're pushing back in court against providing their users' IP addresses to 3rd parties as it would put user anonimity at risk.
Hasn't this been established in law already?
BTW, does SN log IP addresses of users?
Quiet in here. Too quiet.
bring back Darth and all hell lose :)
Some more dust probably has to settle before that happens.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines….
Every once in a while I need my Airplane fix.
Surely you can’t be serious…
I am serious. And stop calling me Shirley.
