Wallet of Satoshi doesent support lightning login and they probably never will until they adopt a model like SBW where each wallet is a node, but the liquidity is hosted by someone else. this is how you get login with lightning to users who dont have any sats to begin with + more

Why do you think they won't support lightning login? Since WoS already has lightning address, it's not that big of a leap technically to add LNURL-Auth.

I received an e-mail from a person ... "Timmy", with compliments on my content on SN. While I appreciate this note, ... I'm a little suspicious. It kind of seemed like a spam / mass e-mail message.
My e-mail address is available publicly (e.g., on my blog posts, and on github) so if this was an authentic, personal, note -- then this person could easily have found it. But there's just this hint of doubt in me. Are there others here on SN who have received such an e-mail?

Currently working on changes to daily rewards.
Almost done - new trust algo and more tangible content rewards is done - just have to get the query right to reward the best upvoters.
We'll reward upvotes base on:
- how good the content upvoted was
- how early the upvote was
- how trusted the user is
- how generous they were with sats

The traditional web seems fine. The problem is regulations are added every year that makes it harder to work with and also worsens the user experience without really solving anything.

Web 1.0 was great.
Corporations took over after some time.
We're now slowly getting back to how web 1.0 was but now with the latest technology, like this site. It's a wonderful thing.

What 3-5 human languages do people think will be the most useful in the next 100 years?
reply

In the next 100 years we will have already a society that lives with AI.
Human language translation will be pretty much solved so any language would be fine. The main issue would be how to communicate with AIs in the best way.
Have a play with GPT3 and you'll see what I mean

I just signed up for SN after lurking for some time. Feels nice to just login through lightning without providing any email or whatnot.

Welcome!
I've been using SN for months now and just yesterday I linked my account with an email and Github. Only reason is just in case I lose my phone or something, I'd still like to be able to login to this nym.

Same here! Just signed up moments ago. Bitcoin Twitter is just losing it luster for me, and this place has early Digg.com vibes going but for Bitcoin. Love it!

@k00b, @kr, do we know what % of pageviews are not signed-in?
reply
3 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 6 Jul 2022
Not exactly, but I guess at least 50%.
Over the last 36 hours, we've had 2k+ visitors but only ~500 logged in users visited.

Probably hard to distinguish from bots...

The heavy bots use different User Agent, so you can catch those. Also the main bots respect robots.txt.

Got it, thank you! I wonder if it would help slightly to call that button instead of "login" as "login with LN" (or use the lightning icon)

(also my comment on usage of non-english still stands: When you use English for your posts, then you have a higher chance to earn more sats, since we don't yet have language specific subs...)

What are the best places to get plugged into the bitcoin community? Aside from this site, bitcoin twitter and reddit... Other suggestions or main spots I'm missing?
