Anybody else receiving rogue Emails from notifications @ github dot com?
I'm on some annoying mailing lists from projects I've never heard of. The email sender is legit but I can't find the notification on Github. This has to be a bug, right?

I withdrew 10k satoshis (sats) from a platform, but they haven't arrived in my Alby wallet yet. Is anyone else experiencing problems with Alby? @sn @ek
reply
a platform
SN?
reply
"Yes. I have tried other times with lower values and it didn't reach my Alby wallet. Can you try to withdraw some satoshis to see if the problem is with my PC or alby?
reply
It won’t be a problem with your PC, the withdrawal happens between SN’s node and Alby’s node. In any case, let me try to withdraw some sats and see if it works
reply
The problem is that satoshis are disappearing from the SN wallet
reply
I just withdrew 100 sats to Phoenix successfully. I also withdrew 100 sats to alby successfully as well
reply
Satoshis just arrived in my Alby wallet
reply
I just received some Satoshis in my Alby wallet, but it took a long time for them to arrive. Usually, it's instant, so I was a bit worried. Could you please check if there's any delay on your end?
reply
No delay, came through within a few seconds
After in the past muting a user who routinely shares doom articles on the (EU) economy, I myself today posted such a post. I remember now how much such posts are appreciated by satfarmers, both from an OP's and an early upvoter's perspective. I feel dirty :)
As a side note, got zapped 200+ sats in less than 30 seconds after creating that post. Could be a one-off, could also be some bot recognizing trigger words such as "EU" or "Central Bank".

reply
it automatically pop into your drop down menu, you can see it clearly if you muted most of the territories.

quick update on my charts experiment
in just 4 days, ~charts is already the leading territory on SN by revenue this week. it’s on pace for roughly 10,000 sats of revenue this week, which is about 43,000 sats of revenue extrapolated over a month.
it still needs a 2-3x jump in daily revenue to get to the point of profitability, but i’m optimistic. raising the post costs to 210 sats doesn’t seem to be limiting contributions (it incentivizes quality), and provides valuable revenue for the territory.
of course, since i’m returning all sats from the territory back to stackers, i’m guaranteed to lose money for now but it will be interesting to see how quickly revenue can grow with my current strategy.
reply
Great work and congrats on the superduper start! I think most of it is driven by the reward you promised in your announcement
so, from now on i’m going to pay all of the sats i stack on SN back to the top posters and commenters on the ~charts territory every day.
It's nice to see how experimenting drive growth anyhow :)
reply
I had totally forgotten about that promise in the territory announcement. Now I understand one of the reasons for this meteoric rise 🤠 I've made like 20% of the posts here, lol. I'm already loving it! A picture's worth a thousand words, right?
reply
And here I was thinking people just really loved charts.

yeah for sure, first step is seeing if i can get this to 100k sats of revenue and this should help.
maybe once it’s there, i’ll reserve a cut of marginal revenue over 100k sats to fund the monthly territory fees.

i’m guaranteed to lose money for now

26 days of 100 push ups until $100k down. Undetermined to go. 22 days of 100 squats until $100k down. Undetermined to go.
Should I switch my unit of account to Canadian dollars since I am Canadian and do 135 push ups and 135 squats per day?
reply
I would probably go the other way and declare victory early, but you do you.

So you think I should stop at 100k Trudeau cuck bucks? No way.

Today I was lucky enough to get 200 JUPiter tokens in airdrop (it's about 90 USD), but without remorse I immediately exchanged them for BTC.

The cold helps keep my mining rig at a lower temp. I’m a fan

I'm thinking of dipping my toe in. What are you using to mine?
reply
FutureBit Apollo and a BitAxe Ultra. Check my profile for an extensive write up on the Apollo
reply
Ah yes! I enjoyed your post at the time. In fact that's what planted the mining bug in my brain. I hesitated because I shared your fear about the outdated software going with the more noob option, but I don't think I'm as technically proficient as you.
reply
Thank you! The BitAxe Ultra is definitely more noob friendly, especially if you get the prebuilt model. It’s plug and play, very simple. And it’s also a much lower cost so it’s easier to justify as an experiment. I got mine at d-central
reply
I will check it out. Thanks

Maybe I've only started to taste real life
  • You can pick fruits and nuts directly from trees instead of buying from supermarkets without knowing where they come from.
  • You can get fresh milk from healthy and happy cows instead of buying packaged pasteurized milk that can be kept for months without knowing how the cows are doing.
  • You can just collect flowers in the wild, dry them, and make herbal tea instead of buying them without knowing how the soil is.
  • You can get fresh eggs from running around chickens instead of those who can barely walk in the crowded farms.
  • You can get honey from the bees, bees do most part of the work to search for flowers in the wild.
  • You can get seafood directly from the open sea.
  • You get silk from cocoons, cotton from plants, wool from sheep or goats to make fabrics instead of from lab made plastic.
  • You can extract the dyes from roots, nuts, berries, and flowers instead from labs, using chemicals yet in the name of sustainability or organic, how funny. ( I'm really happy that I will be learning about this in a week! )
  • The best skincare comes from within - the food you eat, the water you drink, the air you breathe, and the most important part: your mood, instead of layer of layer skincare products.
aren't nature provide all the essential things that we need? If I can't get something from nature or with minimal touch from humans, maybe better stay away from them.

Enjoy nature while we can. Everything comes from nature one way or the other. The problem is not nature. The problem is there are too many humans. Technology is allowing to stretch the number, for now. Do we really want to have to replace bees with tiny bee robots? It's sad. I love bees. In recent years I have seen many dying in front of me and it breaks my heart.
reply
The problem is there are too many humans.
I think the main problem is fiat money, why tell or teach you how you can get things from nature? the economy will suffer if everyone is being self-sufficient and lives their own life; if no one to work at the office, how to tax them? 🤔
Technology is allowing to stretch the number, for now.
I have a different feeling toward technology these days, for example the Internet is meant to solve the information problem, yet it's leading to more noise, confusion, and more control.
Or high tech leads to losing touch with nature, with all the cold machines it's getting harder to learn how things used to be made by bare hands, etc.
The art is to learn how to use it instead of being used.
we all need a farm
reply
or live closer to nature and be close to people who have farms. 😂
but yes, having your own farm would be amazing but that's also lots of work, need to find the balance.

my mum once let me have some baby chicks in the balcony when I was a kid , it was supposed to be for fun, and then they grew up to lay eggs ( and you don't need to do much with them, just need to clean the place and feed them ) and I remembered those eggs were so delicious! and I was always waiting and went to grab the eggs after it's "out". 🤓
