So I'm half watching a really stupid ABC show called 911, and some international criminals have kidnapped a woman in order to get her husband's dongle loaded with bitcoin. It's so bad I don't care about the well being of the woman or the dongle.

I've been playing with the chords D - Am - F - Dm - Am - A (in various combinations) on my uke with some finger plucking patterns (2-3-4, 3-2-4, 3-2-4-2-3, 4-2-3) to practice easier chord switching (and that darned D chord). Finger plucking patterns are a fun way to explore math and sound.

On some level I think bitcoin toxicity might serve as part of a release valve for the in-group's tensions - which have to be extremely high given our consensus needs. Girard would probably say they are scapegoat hunters, the early stone throwers.

I always figured it was the geek social fallacies at work, but I definitely see elements of scapegoating.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 19 Apr

Great share. I definitely suffer from #1.

If a group thinks ostracizers are evil, it probably fails to ostracize the earliest ostrasizers. It makes wonder if there are other equilibria for bitcoiners.

Yeah, I also suffer from #1. And I think you just nailed a corollary about ostracizers there.

Brains just released lightning payouts

You can connect a lightning address

Pretty interesting to stream mined sats to your lightning node

I'll keep you freaks posted

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @TheWildHustle 18 Apr

Ah, TheWildHustle see's. Funds will be released via lightning payout when the halvening hits.

Looks like the minimum payout is 1 satoshi.

This gives beer money to space heating plebs.

Switching to ocean once their lightning is up and running.

Hey Siggy,

Yesterday Hustle had a conversation with a pleb running a publishing business.

The books and articles territory could offer discounted publishing services for any freaks looking to create and distribute their work as a hardcover or whatnot. Hustle is thinking that it would add another stream of revenue for the territory and give aspiring authors a cool path forward.

The publication is https://libertyunderattack.com/

The freak is SHANE@LIBERTYUNDERATTACK.COM

What do you think? Thanks, Hustle

I'm absolutely interested. In fact, I believe @jbschirtzinger was in the market for these services just recently. Unfortunately I think he went elsewhere, but I still think they should contact each other. He should post in the territory and introduce himself.

When I first saw this project I thought it super cool! But idk, didn't really function as a proper hard ware wallet, and I don't even know if it ever launched?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Cje95 18 Apr

So they launched the Game Boy one I guess within the last day or so and all 1,000 units sold out almost instantly. It will be interesting to see what people say when they get their hands on them since you are supposed to be able to play the games that they have on it to earn more BTC

I also think that it might be a different one since this came from BTC Ordinals https://cryptoslate.com/bitcoin-ordinals-game-boy-inspired-gaming-handheld-and-hardware-wallet-sells-out-instantly/

Could be wrong about though

Got my cowboy hat in my hand this morning, last couple of contributions I've made on sn I've felt have made more work for the team not less

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 18 Apr

Why do you feel that way?

If it's because of back and forth: I think it takes less time for us to criticize existing code than to come up with own code :)

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @BenAllenG 18 Apr

It was mostly the fact that the capture scroll stuff still isn't working. I get that with your and k00b's knowledge of the codebase you can quickly refactor my solution if it isn't quite right, but it still feels bad when your work gets sent back to the kitchen regardless.

I take it in stride as best I can!

Is there more or less hype than last halving cycle? For me it feels like less, even with the ETF hype. But I wonder if it is because I have been around and am much less affected.

The real reason could very well be be the removal of 💩🪙s from my consciousness. Bitcoin clears the mind and the path.

Good point @DarthCoin! The irony is that the very ancient Greeks who invented democracy did not believe in it at all.

The thing is that greeks were having a different "democracy" than we have today. The so called "representatives" were responsible with their head if they did something wrong. Also they weren't elected by vote. Each citizen had their duty to be by rotation an "administrator".

Greeks invented the vote, but the elected were different than today.
