Would territory owners entertain this offer
Give me 20k sats and I'll post exclusively on your Territory for a month granted the posting fee remains 100 and I create at least 2 posts a day.
Would be cool to have something like a cowboy hat that represents you didn't screw over another stacker in one of those deals.
Territory owners would outsource the content curation to stackers that are incintivized to post pertinent and valuable information to freaks.
I wonder if a stacker enthused with legos, would like being approached by the lego territory, handing him 20k sats and telling him to post twice a day for a month.
I'd pay a Nix expert to post and conduct AMA's and whatnot
A territory economics update along with the referral update would probably make the above look juicier.
reply
It feels like it's perfectly healthy to do that outside of the territory itself. Sponsorships, exclusivity contracts, and other deals in that vain would be interesting!
reply
Thought about something along these lines for ~UFOs, to encourage high quality writeups on cases and start an archive here on SN.
You'd get a tinfoil hat instead lol!

I usually want eclectic playlists of good music but struggle to find them because most playlists have a theme affecting track choices. Even a playlist designed to be eclectic are affected due to the picker's opinion of "good."
The best such playlist I've found in Apple's "Made for Spatial Audio" presumably because it's selection process has less to do with theme or taste and more to do with idk interestingness? It seems to have less opinion on music type.
Idk what the lesson is but I think there's a lesson there. (I could also just be more satisfied by spatial audio.)
reply
You can make a playlist with the shares from the music territory.
reply
not your playlists, not your music. Why not use winamp and make your own playlists? People nowadays depends too much of online music. And that is wrong behavior.

Hopefully playlists on Wavlake take off. Vitor said something on nostr about how we should be able to group members of our social graph into distinct categories. You might not need to know TheWildHustle’s thoughts on OP_CAT, but you might want his influence in your future wavlake feed.
And if being a one trick pony led you to bitcoin and creating stacker news…..TheWildHustle is joining the rodeo.
reply
Ha,
TheWildHustle could make you an amazing playlist. What are some of your favorite, artists, bands, songs, albums etc.
reply
I trust TheWilldHustle could make an amazing playlist!
But my problem is that I don't really have favorites. At base, I mostly want surprise (over a certain quality threshold).
reply
The answer is TheWildHustle's "recently listened" tab in apple music.
I'm putting something together now, how many songs do you want on the list?
Has there been any discussion here of the issues using Core Lightning's pay command?
I'm finding it impossible to have payments routed, even very small.
reply
I'll add a bit more detail, in case it's relevant to anyone:
  • payments were fine until a few weeks ago
  • amounts up to $100 were going through without any problem
  • started to experience very occasional failures, no discernable patterns
  • checked my channels, all appear to be healthy
  • failures more frequent a few weeks ago
  • recently updated, not a single successful payment since
  • tried small payments today (2500-20000 sats) to two big nodes (SN, Bitrefill), no way through
  • tried experimental renepay plugin, same problem then quickly crashed
  • error is 210 on both pay and renepay, messages include WIRE_INCORRECT_CLTV_EXPIRY, "failreason": "We don't have any channels"
  • nothing unusual using decodepay
reply
And to update one last time, this seems ok now after sorting out the new update. I think it was gossip related too as mentioned in an Issue.
reply
amounts up to $100 were going through without any problem
TIL: CLN is using dollars instead of sats I wonder how you are going to stuff a bunch of dollar bills through a LN channel.
reply
Firstly, I assure you that wasn't bait set in the hope of a reply like this from your good self.
I am aware of your arguments, and somewhat convinced, but I'll tell you my approach and logic.
Putting aside the relative merits and the issue of money as opposed to credit, I'll turn to the unit of account aspect. I first discussed getting used to a new unit of account with people in the Eurozone when they lost their national currencies.
For the most part, they would say there was a kind of stealthy inflation imposed by many retailers around the switchover, that for some time they would always convert back like people on holiday do, and over time they would gradually stop. There were some interesting exceptions like visiting a retailer they hadn't been to for a long time and since the change.
When I started to use bitcoin, I felt a similar process was underway and quite relaxed about it. I have a sense of prices of some things in sats very effortlessly. For larger amounts, I think in bitcoin more easily, though with more effort, a bit like speaking a foreign language.
I find not forcing a change in my way of thinking makes the process more pleasurable and I quite enjoy feeling aware of the gradual shift. I don't take steroids to force a change quickly either, both decisions feel quite similar to me.
Regarding the money vs credit issue, it shows up clearly when you have a look at old invoices and match them up to that shift in how natural it comes. I do consider gold as money as well and broadly agree with what Alasdair Macleod says on the subject in his research notes of late.
Their retailer has pricing in both money and credit on the product page with updates every few seconds. I think it a good example for retailers who accept bitcoin, and that they're relaxed about it too because they know the debt-based figure is only going one way.

Bitcoin always does the unexpected. Remember how everyone was so sure we will hit $100k in the last bull? I don't think anyone can predict when or how we will get to $100k, but we will get there.
We go 150 till $150k after hitting that?

Sounds good to me.

Went out to a baseball game with a work friend last night. He covered all the rideshare costs and told me how much I owe him which is $60.
I told him I can $60 via Zelle or I can send him $100 in bitcoin and if bitcoin drops 40% he can cash out and still be okay.
He took the bitcoin!
Now should I set him up with a KYC exchange or just use a quick mobile wallet like envoy that backs up to the cloud

@orthwyrm: Would be competing in a bouldering competition next week. The set up is <30ft tall and is a free fall into deep water without a rope. Should be fun!
Have any tips for a noob?
reply
How much experience do you have?
Would recommend practicing with indoor bouldering to start with so you get used to your grip strength, distributing body weight, and importantly how to fall safely.
I've never done outdoors (assuming this competition is over a lake or something). Those surfaces could be slippery with all the moisture in the air... I'd bring some spare chalk in case it gets damp. Maybe test your shoes when damp too and ensure they maintain grip.

I have zero experience but have climbed a coconut tree few years back. The organizer is a friend so doing it for the fun.
True, it'd be slippery coz its humid af here. Was thinking of doing it bare foot, i have a five finger vibram- think that'd be better?
reply
Hmm, would be tempted to do it barefoot as you can feel the surface better!
Climbing shoes have hardened fronts that offer good support on small ledges, but vibrams won't get you that...

Day 16 of my daily posting journey in the MSM era. previously: #506276 🤠⚡

reply
The past few years for me, not sure if it is because of Bitcoin or a mix of everything, it's like a journey of going back to what's real; so we were born and being taught how to blend into the modern society: go to school then get a job, work till 65yr then you can retire...But did you ever question of why do you need to deal with people you don't like so to earn money or why someone else did nothing yet getting a big cut out of your work? You slowly realize the matrix, and the good news is seeing the problem is the first step to solving it!
Then, you start to figure out how to exit ( Bitcoin is a powerful tool ) and learn how to stay away from "modern products": from the food you eat, tools that you use, or even the values that are fed to you, much verifying yet rewarding at the same time. And once you take good care of the shelter, food, and all the necessities, then you have all the time to work on something you love and spend time with people you like:)
