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!
When in doubt, pull out. I'm talking about investments, of course. What did YOU think I was talking about?
you got me
Thanks to my shitposting on SN I'm now considered a legal expert. Donate sats to my open fund. No lawyer will get paid. All proceeds go to shitposting. For the first 100 btc, you get double back :)
lol
If I get double back, are they mixed ? I would like only compliant tokens. 😂😂😂😂
The problem is not you going too far. The problem is you not going far enough.
Good way to change your frame of reference.
The problem with using chat for developer/company comms is that search engines don’t crawl them.
makes it difficult during turnover
Steinbeck is the goat
great quote
Day 128 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 501 sats on 23Apr2024! Running total: 85,678 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 129's comment
I wish it were possible to randomly zap sats, with a minimum and maximum amount set by me.
That would be a good feature request
Have you seen the Thunderstorm idea? https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/361 #211210
I haven't seen that before, but it sounds interesting. My idea is much simpler and should only take 2 or 3 hours to implement. What I suggest is that when zapping, the sats are randomly selected.
I like that, kinda the equivalent of reaching into your pocket and grabbing a few random coins to give someone.

For the first time ever, I have a post doing better on nostr than on SN.
#517404
haha congrats!
Glass half full
at least not by a large margin
posting articles from mises.org will not go anywhere on SN. SN stackers are only statists and gov agents that only want NgU and compliance... don't you get it?
Also all the "libertarian" movement is rigged. Libertarian means "I want small government", so that still means statist mindset.
You will never have any communist/socialist mindset listen to you because are totally brainwashed and do not comprehend not even a slight reducing of gov powers, not talking about eliminating at all the whole gov (thing that you still do not agree).
Your efforts are futile...
Cool story
Humanity is futile. We are not going to make it.
I personally will not reincarnate to this world. Enough is enough. This scam ends for me the moment this body dies, and probably before that.
Zapping from a beach chair today!
This week will be Stacker News Live #117 :)

people have more money than sense
Tickets to the Bitcoin OG Museum are going to be really expensive.
Yup lots of sats!
This makes more sense than Runes and NFTs to me. But not for me. Its at least a piece of history lol
people pay money for this?
It looks like they do. And a LOT of money

Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) "Hindering the Artist is a Crime: it is Murdering Life in the Bud"
https://m.stacker.news/28004
I really admire this artist! His art makes you realize people are fundamentally the same around the world and throughout all time.
Schiele departed from prevailing conventions of portraiture and devoted himself to the unhibited exploration of his own identity through drawing. He set out in search of self knowledge in countless self-portraits, trying out noumerous roles and emotional states on his face and body. He thus put his fear and loneliness, his rage, driveness, arrogance and sexuality on full display in all of its facets, doing so in poses pathologized by society.
GM Stackers!
Don't know who to attribute the quote too, but it is a good saying I picked up from a former boss! What does it mean to you?
To me, hope is good for starting the day, but end the end only results matter.
Giddyup!
https://m.stacker.news/27998
To me, this means that hope is crucial at the outset of a challenge, but it's not enough to guarantee success on its own.
Exactly!
Hey Freaks,
Just in case anyone was wondering. Still celebrating the halvening.....
Lets Go!
It is back to more regular levels now.
"happy" halving...
https://m.stacker.news/28003
btw "halvening" is quite dumb term...
https://m.stacker.news/28015
Hustle’s wife says “Thanks, freak.”
Good morning stackers.
Day 87 of 100 push ups till $100k completed. Have a nice day.
Keep going!
💪💪🫡
you realize that stackers are already here for several hours... we are already tired of how many (fictional) pushups we are doing, not waiting for you.
I'm saying it from my perspective, it's morning for me so I say good morning. I know about time zones and I know it's noon, afternoon, evening, or night for others around the world.
Why should you or anyone be waiting for me? I'm merely posting this for accountability because I joined a challenge which I thought is fun. You don't have to agree with what I do and is completely free to shit on it or even use/waste your precious sats to downzap it. At the same time, I don't have to care about what you say. I am free to, and will do however many push ups till whatever fiat price, at the same time post on the Saloon everyday about it.
I only downzap really annoying shitcoiners and idiots. I do not waste my downzap power on such low content. I think you still do not understand how downzap works.
Just saying you can and have the freedom to do so, but what you do is up to you.
I don't need your permission anyways
I agree. Of course you don't. Same as I don't need your permission to do anything.
Howdy!
88 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go. 84 days of 100 squats a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go.
I think just a few more months.
💪💪🫡
all this crazy shit with "until $100k" is a garbage fiat mindset. Also the pushups do not help for anything.
Thanks for the input but I respectfully don't give a shit what you think.
So you don't give a shit about Bitcoin adoption... right.
Of course I do and I respect everything you have done to promote adoption and all the guides. I just don’t understand why you feel a need to micromanage what other people are posting about. You aren’t the dictator of Bitcoin or SN. I get it if you are calling out shitcoiners or scammers but why do you care if we are posting about a push up challenge? Just ignore or mute me.
No I do not mute you. You do not deserve (yet) that honor. I only want to point out the uselessness of these posts about pushups until 100k. Bitcoin doesn't give a shit about your pushups and also the price of 100k is meaningless.
I am just trying to make you a favor and show you the right path, nothing else... But yeah, you can ignore my advice...
https://i.postimg.cc/c4fzycYQ/darth-advice.jpg
I don’t need you to show me a path. I am not a child. As I said I appreciate your guides but I don’t need advice on what to post on open forum.

What really matters for Bitcoin is the merchants adoption not how many pushups some dudes are (supposedly) doing every day.
Show me how many merchants they onboarded and how many txs they paid to those merchants... then we can talk about something important done for Bitcoin.

Yes, this is no fun. The SN saloon was used to be more fun but now is just a a shithole... with all these crap "pushups till 100k"
the content on SN is getting lower and lower every day... And all these "day x until x event happen" are really lame and dumb. Useless.
Do you feel like whining about other people's content is quality content?
I don't care anymore. I used to like a lot SN content. But now is just hanging around. I do not have anymore that energy to post quality content if nobody is paying attention. Most of people here are grifters, statists, gov agents, shitcoiners pretending to be bitcoiners, noise creators... slowly converting SN into a new reddit crap. Somehow they "infected" me and makes me be angry and with lost hope. Except with few stackers posting, this place became less attractive for me.
Hey man, keep your chin up! As new people come in, others will be flushed out. Its just the way life is.

Meant that one for you, lol.
Went to make coffee. Poured water, ground beans, put beans in machine.
Come back to find I forgot to turn the machine on.
Making coffee would be easier if I was already caffeinated when I started.
lol need a lifehack for that
did you ever try Turkish coffee? it's like a hack, so much easier and faster. 👀
Oh, I love Turkish coffee, and even have a cheap cezve. But I also tend to drink coffee all through the day, as does my wife, so making a pot of traditional coffee to have around to pour tends to work best on most days when I'm working.
for me, I just make it whenever I feel like having coffee, and it's so quick and easy to clean things up ☺️
We try to set it up the might before. It's great when we remember. Maybe one third of the time it's great.
I used to do that, but I'm too picky about wanting my beans ground fresh, alas.
We grind fresh the night before. If it was up to me I would probably buy pre ground. I'm not so picky.
Howdy peeps!! It's the middle of the week and so far so good, hope your strategies are working and your goals being reached, still a good time to tweak or redeploy new strategies just in case they are not helping you achieve your weekly, so go out there and show this week who's in charge my friend, I believe in you and I know you've got this, because you, my friend, are important, awesome and focused, let's do this!! As always, be well and stay frosty my friend.
Thank you for the motivational words!

I came across a post where someone mentioned that 21 has a symbolic meaning for Bitcoiners. I am not sure what it signifies, though... 🤔
Why 21 and not 20, for example?
how many bitcoin will be in existence ? Read more here: https://darth-coin.github.io/general/bitcoin-commandments-en.html
Oooh, 21 million! Now it makes sense!
Your lack of bitcoin knowledge is disturbing... https://i.postimg.cc/CMk4VFYN/lack-of-bitcoin-disturbing.jpg

Loan SharkLoan Shark
Today, a loan shark is a person who offers loans at extremely high interest rates, has strict terms of collection upon failure, and generally operates outside the law.
Although the origin of the word shark is uncertain, it appears the first use of the word was written in the 1560’s and referred to a “large voracious fish” or “predator”.
It is possible that the word shark came from the Old German word “Schorck”, a variant of “Schurke” meaning “scoundrel” or “villain”, which is likely to have derived from the Dutch word “Schurk”, meaning “predator”, “scoundrel” or “villain”.
The word shark, regardless of its origin, was used in reference to a “dishonest person who preys on others”, and by the 1880’s “loan shark” began to appear in the press.
Borrowing from “loan sharks” in the 1880’s was often considered one of the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption.
This was because when an unsuspecting victim or “small fish” became inebriated, they would be targeted by a “loan shark”, and made to agree to unfair and often criminal contracts of debt.
A WhaleA Whale
Someone who has a habit of gambling and who consistently wagers large amounts of money, is often referred to as a “high roller”.
However, if they tend to lose more than they win, they are referred to as a “whale”.
To keep the whale happy, they often receive lavish “comps” from casinos to lure them back onto the gambling floors, such as free use of a private jet, limousine and use of the casino’s best suites.
When the whales “cash flow” eventually “dries up” and they are “drowning in debt” and need to “stay afloat”, the “loan shark” smells “blood in the water”.

part of:#586916makes sense for what I've seen with the loan shark business.
Lending money to people on low incomes and/or in severe poverty is an interesting problem, one which hasn't been well solved. From micro-credit in the third world to pay-day loans in the West, even if it starts well you can reasonably expect controversy and to end up being smeared.
It's not something I would consider, but I do have some sympathy for those who, in good faith, try to deliver a good product in that sector.
This reminds me of @supertestnet loan shark experiment https://github.com/supertestnet/loan-shark 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loan shark was a new one to me, thanks for the info!
https://m.stacker.news/27957
I would add unsecured business loans 😫
Some years ago, after I paid my last loan, I learn a big lesson from Bitcoin: NEVER ever take any loan anymore. Live a debt free life.
Thankfully, I learned this early on and have never taken out a loan. That's the way to go!

Anyone work on cars or restore them?
yes, what are you up to?
What type of car are you working on? I like old british cars. With lucas wiring. The prince of darkness :D
I have a few Triumphs.
Do you like the convertibles or the hardtop versions?
I like the hardtops in the winter and soft top in the summer. Softops tend to leak and fog up for me
I was always a fan of the hardtops. I just felt their body lines looked a lot better. Some types looked like the jaguar e type. Softops always leak, they werent really designed to keep the water out. I know BMWs of the 80s only had a canvas top, one layer of canvas!
Oh man, you understand my struggle. Especially with rust because they didnt undercoat them well!
for sure, and lots of corrosion at brass connections
not only at the brass connections...but between aluminium and steel. and under the battery trays OMG
You find tools to solve your problems and make life easier, not bringing more headaches - If you find yourself being drained all the time and energy into the tool itself, maybe it's good to think that this might not be the right tool for you.
It is good to try to find a balance of quiet time and productivity.

Ignorance is not always bliss.
There is no better joy than the joy of understanding IMO :) taking the time to listen and learn from others and feeling your pool of knowledge expand, not just from an intellectual place but also from an emotional place is truly amazing! People forget that we don't have to agree with something to understand it, in fact, the more we understand something, the better equipped we are on deciding if it aligns with us or not.
