Tongue is actually black, but it appears purple or blue to the human eye

My Ledger wallet has multiple addresses that belong to it and it's troublesome tracking those in trackers. So my (newbie) question here: How can wallet sizes be estimated if you only know the receiving addresses and not the xpup of the single wallets? Doesn't that property lead to an overestimation of existing wallets and therefore an overestimation of the distribution of BTC?

I just realized a trick for rapid prototyping I'm sure every layout designer learns on day 1. Screenshot individual elements and move them around. I was avoiding using a design tool because I didn't want to recreate every element from scratch just so I could manipulate it.

@k00b @kr @ek I got notified saying that ~culture and ~AI had been transferred to me. I've just checked and they haven't, but it did highlight a potential problem. If someone transfers you a territory should there be an accept or reject option on that, if you reject it goes to archived? Just to prevent anyone from accidentally getting billed for territories that have been erroneously assigned to them.

There was a bug, we accidentally sent out a push notification to everyone who had them enabled when a territory was unarchived.

If someone transfers you a territory should there be an accept or reject option on that, if you reject it goes to archived? Just to prevent anyone from accidentally getting billed for territories that have been erroneously assigned to them.

Ohhh, good point. I actually didn't consider automated billing. When I implemented this, I thought people could simply transfer it back/away or not pay and let it get archived. But with automated billing setup, this would indeed be a problem. If you time the transfer right, someone would get billed and pay for a territory they didn't want.

Good catch!

Ahhh ok wasn't just me then. Phew.

So you're telling me all this time I could have punted the territory to some other mug and had them pay for it 🤣🤣 yeah I'm not sure that's a bug, sounds like a feature 😉.

In all seriousness though, glad you're on it, like you said someone could unwillingly end up with a bill they didn't sign up for.

You should be more concerned about bitcoiners pretending to "fight" for "destroying the fiat", meanwhile are praising and building tools for better compliance of gov regulations.

FOR ME THIS IS REALLY CONCERNING, what is going on... not how much BTC MSTR supposedly is buying. Where are the old cypherpunks that started Bitcoin?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @BitcoinIsTheFuture 21 Mar

I agree with these concerns and appreciate you reinforcing this for me and others here. We need to remember why Bitcoin was created and what it was created to destroy. Why would we pay those who we want to destroy? Why would we let them hold our paper promise sats and charge fees? Barf!

10 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 20 Mar

The scoring system is extremely non-linear. Having the top post/comment matters a lot, plus that would mean all other posts from throughout the month will become worth less, because their ranks are being reduced.

Also, zapping the top posts/comments early matters a lot. So, if those posts/comments haven't happened yet, then neither have the early zaps on them.

True. This can be applied in many areas, programming and project development being some of the best examples of how things can go wrong when you don't have experience.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that quote came from the perspective of an individual normie from 1995. He was probably talking about his own bank account and does not understand the difference between central banking vs being his own bank.

It has gotten better over time by using git for as much as possible but I can't track every configuration in git or even which programs I installed. Seems like that's exactly what NixOS is meant for? No more worries about you forgetting some configuration that is not persistent across boots so you don't even want to reboot a server?

You're right to let the stackers decide. I like everything about this picture. I like the elephants because they represent wisdom, divine knowledge and royal power. I like the incense burner because it represents the transformation of matter. The curtain with the tarot cards because they are used as a spiritual compass, guiding the person, indicating what is best and which paths to follow. And finally bitcoin, which represents personal sovereignty in a world controlled by elites.
