Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

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.

Yes awesome! Sometimes the leanest way is the best and most agile. Sorry I’m a scrum master by trade and wig out on process improvements like this!
@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.
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.
Cheers for a quick response, appreciate it 👊
Sorry for spamming you with the territory reincarnations.
Not to worry bud. Good luck with the territories, it's good to see them back, variety is the spice of life as they say. I wish you great success with them. Hit me up if I can help 👊
calling my shot, MicroStrategy puts out another notice that they’re selling $500m of convertible notes tomorrow morning

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. https://m.stacker.news/22020
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? https://m.stacker.news/22021
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!
People who trade Bitcoin using ETFs: https://m.stacker.news/22041
i understand this is something you care deeply about, and i would never tell you to stop caring about this, but i personally don’t share the same concerns
Why are you so obsessed with that scam IOU?
it’s fun to watch them buy up lots of bitcoin, but as far as my list of “obsessions” go, it’s not very high… i don’t think i’ve ever owned a single share TBH
but what proof do you have that they really buy BTC? NONE. Is just his word on twix.
Still trying to navigate and feel out how this space vibes since its pretty different than what I have previously been on but I gotta say I love what I see so far! I want to shout out and thank @cryotosensei for bringing me aboard!
Finally! Our paths cross. Glad that you are feeling at home here!

Interesting, I just got a push notification that ~culture was transferred to me but it wasn't.
Might be related to this ticket: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/913

My bad. SN suspecting we're the same person perhaps, given we're already ~security / ~privacy twins.
Sorry if anyone else got pinged because I'm trigger happy and subsidising the SN server bill this month.
Ok, we probably just sent out a territory transfer notification to every user with push notifications enabled when someone revived a territory.

Not sure if anyone has asked this yet, or if it's written in MSM announcement post. Does MSM bounty pay @sn tax? It doesn't make a big difference, it's just out of curiosity.
10% tax rate 😂
voluntary tax?
not like you can choose? 👀😂😂
100% of MSM rewards go to stackers (just like daily rewards)
A few more days to provide your opinion! Don't be shy 😘

Hello SN World! Seems cool, I joined for the Agora market
That's great! Welcome to the New Wild West 🤠
MSM is really straining my wallet, but my resolve is strong to keep the zaps flowing.
Zap well!
I feel many stackers' wallets are already dry.
I've noticed a drop off in zapping, but I also think people might be getting more strategic.
could be, could be.
deleted by author
Straining what? Be a free man and zap every sat you have, reach to the top, win the MSM and have 1 million+ Sats once again. It's simple, isn't it?
That's the outcome I'm hoping for, but I don't want to run out of sats before then. That wouldn't be fair to people making good content at the end of the month.
Obviously, I just need to make more and better content to refill my balance.
That's the spirit, man! You seen quite disciplined, Your nym suggests otherwise though.
Is it disciplined to spend more than double what you earn?
No, I mean it for your objective of writing more and better.
Oh, I haven't done that though. Having goals and not following through is right in my lane.
Haha, of course that's in my lane too. I made a goal yesterday that I would be posting 3 times on SN and till now I haven't done with one.

I am with you. I won't blink an eye until that's over.
Ten days left
I also expect something like a sprint to the finish.
deleted by author
Not necessarily. If the sprint causes the biggest posts and comments of the month to occur, then those will change people's ranks.
deleted by author
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.

My Coinbase wallet is killing it
Can't believe you still use coinbase! I left coinbase forever 3 years ago and it was because they are banned here. But before banning in my country, I left using it. Coinbase isn't worthy of shit even IMO.
I like supporting them because they are both anti Bitcoin and Pro state at the same time. It feels good to know my hard earned income is supporting chainanalis and other things like that.
Also Coinbase is doing a great job of furthering regulations on Bitcoiners
So, you're in love with regulators as well! Great!
That's not a bad idea. Isn't it because when something is regulated people adopt it with both hands. Like in our case we don't smoke or unregulated things.
WANTED: a tool that mirrors github repo INCLUDING all metadata to a gitlab/gitea instance.
I'd pay monthly for this tool. AFAICT there are tools that do backups, tools that mirror the git graph, and tools that sync issues elsewhere, but I want a single tool that does them all.
Nassau, the Bahamas. The land of sun, sand, and soaring crime!
https://m.stacker.news/21902
There's a cool old hotel there that has liquor and wine from the Age of Exploration that was salvaged from shipwrecks. It's like $20k per serving, though, so pace yourself.
Yeah... I think it would be best not to tell my wife about that. She will hopefully go directly to the beach and then get back on the boat.
Beware of pirates! :) Nassau was once known as the Republic of Pirates, and the infamous Blackbeard himself served as its judge. This place is steeped in history. If you haven't watched Black Sails, you're missing out!
is black sails, based on true story/facts or just people dressed in costumes?
I will check it out. My parents honeymooned here in the late 1950s, but I know nothing about the Bahamas.
What I know comes from watching the TV series. I can tell you that Nassau was a pirate haven and its islands were a wonderful hideout with shallow waters and were very close to the shipping route of the Spanish and Portuguese galleons (ships), full of gold.

53 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go. 49 days of 100 squats a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go.
Its fun when its obvious who commented but didn't read the post. Is now see why people title their posts the way they do.
You definitely have to prepare for people only reading a title. You can also make the title unrelated and incomplete to catch their hand in the cookie jar.
I kinda did that by accident with "Bitcoin is Slow". Wasn't my intention but it does weed people out that couldn't be bothered to read before they comment. You just have to laugh.
The biggest tell of inexperience is poor accounting of edge cases, either overestimating or underestimating 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.
But there is learning in error, so not everything is lost, but some mistakes can be costly. People with more experience can anticipate potential problems and adapt to new situations.
Oh man is that ever true.

Good morning stackers.
Day 52 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.
Heading north today. Lots of driving. Saw this plaque at a playground yesterday and really like the quoted portion. Thought I'll share it with everyone.
https://m.stacker.news/21854
Very nice sentiment.
🫡
That’s really nice.
Unfortunate they should mention bank accounts though… because they and central bank interference will really matter in the future.
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.
But I see what you mean. Central banking is just a cancer that grows and consumes, eventually, all value created by productive people of any country.
I think the author, when referring to the bank account, meant that it doesn't matter how rich or poor you are.
Absolutely and it’s a beautiful thought. I was just observing that the comment about bank accounts could be interpreted, in the light of the last x number years, differently now.
I really hope ~NixOS lives up to the standards when I try it out. I feel so dirty and fragmented when I look at all my server configurations. 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?
I mentioned this before somewhere on SN (but can't find it right now) but I really hope NixOS is like git but for operating systems.
Putting a lot of hope into it… Have limited expectations and then you will be pleasantly surprised…
But I am looking for a solution to a very specific problem and if NixOS does not solve this problem then I don't need it.

Took the older cat into the vet for her checkup, and was told she's "perfect" (arthritis aside). Always scary with the little babies, because at some point (often before they get as old as this one), you get told something else. But they're family and provide such good companionship, and we love them even knowing we'll deal with bad news some day.
Very true. I had one who fought so ugly we never took him back to the vet after the age of two. Of course he made it to 19.
Oof -- I've been lucky that none of our cats have ever been terrible fighters about getting put in carriers (though they've all complained vocally). Our daughter's cat, though, fights like mad, and she actually has a vet that does house calls.
Our first cat also made it to 19, and that spoiled us expectation-wise for all the others.

Awesome. I’m not zapping any entry there, but ofc I will honour your work here haha. Why do you like this photo so much?
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.
