Have you considered paying for all time instead of month to month?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @davidw 6 Feb

I have and I would love the ability to switch payment terms.

I suspect in sat terms it will become cheaper to purchase outright in future, but probably would be better to buy outright than rent it each month. Can amortise the cost over a lengthy period.

I didn’t realize you couldn’t switch payment terms? Is that the case?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @davidw 7 Feb freebie

It’s on the roadmap is my understanding.

Prioritised probably middle of the road, even though it would be a big money-maker.

Territories was just a MVP, so there’s a few kinks still to iron-out.

do you like this song?

Not something I would listen to on my own but definitely sounds interesting!

Gives me secret agent vibes. As if I am entering a bazaar and pretending I just want to buy some stuff. But I am actually waiting for someone to show up while trying to keep a low profile because there are a lot of other secret agents, too. And then later, the person shows up and it gets more exciting.

Basically, it gives me Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer vibes:

Woke up today and made a Turkish breakfast, it's one of the easiest breakfast hacks I think, so easy but good, and many Turks would eat this breakfast every day, with a little twist, but the bases are the same; this photo was taken from the first time I ate Turkish breakfast, absolutely amazed by it, ever since then I tried to recreate the same breakfast at home haha.

https://m.stacker.news/14954

And one of my favorite parts about this Turkish breakfast is the menemen, this was also the first dish that I learned here, it's basically a Turkish style of scrambled eggs or an Asian style of tomato fried eggs but in a Turkish way.

How to cook Turkish Menemen 👩🏽‍🍳

Ingredients

olive oil
onions
green peppers
fresh tomatoes
eggs
feta cheese
salt

Steps

Add olive oil to the pan, then add the onion and green peppers, and wait till the onion gets soft.
Add the tomatoes.
Cover the pan with a lid and wait for the tomatoes to get soft.
Add some salt or red pepper flakes according to your taste.
Add the feta cheese and cook a bit until it melts.
Add the eggs and mix ( under low heat ) - I usually wait for one minute and done.

Afiyet olsun! A super easy dish for breakfast, then you match it with bread and some other jams and nuts, so yummy. And one of the things that I learned during my nomad journey is that you should absorb the knowledge within you, for example the cooking style that you like, then you can make anything you want without being there, now I'm learning to cook all my fav dishes:)

I'm really admired by those Turkish mums who can make virtually everything in the kitchen, but it also dies down slowly in the new generations, so I need to stack these skills before it "go extinct". 👀

“When I first heard about Bitcoin, I thought it was impossible. How can you have a purely digital currency? Can’t I just copy your hard drive and have your bitcoins? I didn’t understand how that could be done, and then I looked into it and it was brilliant.” — Jeff Garzik

If your keys are on the hard drive, you can just copy it and take control of the Bitcoin!

Jeff Garzik

There's a name I haven't seen much of since 2017. Jeff Garzik picked the wrong side (the big blockers) in the Blocksize Wars and then embarrassed himself by introducing a critical coding bug in the Segwit2x 'upgrade' that the New York Agreement conspirators were trying (but failed) to push on the Bitcoin community.

Cool quote but dodgy source.

351 sats \ 3 replies \ @elvismercury 5 Feb

He was on the wrong side of history, as most of us will be at some point, about something.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @arrivederci 5 Feb freebie

He was on the side of the biggest attack so far mounted against Bitcoin, which most of us here consider a world historic and immensely valuable technology project. So that's being pretty wrong and I wouldn't expect any of us here have been wrong in such a significant way.

Bitcoin has an immense power to expose character flaws in all people touched by it (I include myself) so if you choose to play on the main public stage with Bitcoin, as Jeff did, thinking he was up to it, you will be judged and possibly found greatly wanting. That's what happened with Jeff and also many others who have fallen from grace after being a major player in the space for some time (Gavin Andresen and Michael Hearn being other prominent players prior to Garzik who also suffered a great fall, and there are many, many more). That's why the 'stay humble' dictum is so key to healthy involvement with Bitcoin.

But as I said the quote is cool and yes, stands by itself. It was just surprising for me seeing Jeff Garzik's name again after quite a long time, and it took me back to that crazy (and highly stressful) year.

Some "that moment"-moments I saved for the saloon:

That moment when you watch someone climb for the first time and you want to ask them if that's just their climbing style or if they are trying to kill themselves.

I think watching someone climb tells you a lot about what kind of person they are.

That moment when you leave home with your keys and it feels like a success.
That moment when you think you started a movement and then you see no tumbleweed in the saloon.
That moment when you zap someone and you feel like writing history.

Ok, now I am just making up "that moment"-moments.

614 sats \ 1 reply \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 6 Feb

I think watching someone climb tells you a lot about what kind of person they are.

Got some examples? I imagine you can gauge how risk averse someone is by watching them climb.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 6 Feb freebie

Yeah, depending on how safe they climb, you can gauge their risk averseness. If they are consistently scared about some moves, you can gauge their confidence (which can obviously change over time which might be the best part about climbing). If they consistently pick routes that are too easy or too hard, you can gauge how well they can estimate their own skills.

If they don't care about standard security procedures, they are probably an arrogant person that thinks they know it better ("I don't make mistakes, I don't need to check") and are willing to put their ego before their life (and maybe even the life of others).

If they fail a route, you can gauge how they deal with failures (Easily frustrated? Analysing? Optimistic?). If they succeed at a route, you can gauge how they deal with success (Humble? Arrogant? Outgoing?).

But I think climbing is not special regarding this. This is probably possible in any sport where you're doing dangerous stuff.
