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!

The only kind of fool there is is one that knows-it-all.

Has anyone seen @kr? It seems he hasn't posted for a few days and he's not even listed as a contributor anymore. Did I miss something?

reply

I have noticed others have been missing too

He's stepping away from SN. 😢

I was hoping to do something more formal before anyone noticed, like a 100k sat salute, but nothing gets past the Stackers.

reply

I saw the commit to remove him from the footer but figured there would be some kind of announcement at some point. I did briefly share the commit in the dev chat but quickly deleted it because I didn’t want to be nosy

There are plenty of dummies on SN but the ratio compared to other sites is much lower. Was on Reddit looking at something and wow are the comments dumb, low IQ nonsense.

I really appreciate the stackers

reply

It really is astonishing how much better this community is.

Considering how toxic social media has become, is it hyperbolic to speculate that @k00b may have saved the world by creating Stacker News?

reply

I remember how bad the r/cryptocurrency Reddit got when people started hella farming before Reddit pulled the plug… it had been pretty decent till moons blew up and immediately straight to the trash can. Not sure if it ever rebounded cause I couldn’t be bothered to deal with their BS anymore

reply

Reddit does have a lot of content, though. Just have to try not to read the comments.

reply

Them: "Noncustodial lightning doesn't work." Them: "KYC is cucked." Them: "Voting is a scam." Them: "Prison is an illusion." Them: "Ecash is a shitcoin." Them: "Why are TX fees so high?" Them: "FPPS pools are the only pools I mine on." Them: "Why am I being censored?" Them: "Why has the number stopped going up?"

reply

That moment when you unmute @DarthCoin because he posts so much it's kind of annoying to see all these hidden replies

reply

I feel you! I got kinda sick from him calling me a government cuck but since he would blow up my posts for sats I gave up and unmuted him… he seems to be better than he was when I first joined the platform

You mute Darth? I use the mute but I would never mute Darth. Darth is to entertaining for a mute. I just mute the dumb stackers.

But you be you I guess lol ;)

Maybe you have me muted too.

reply

He started to sound like a broken record. SNR got too low.

Maybe you have me muted too.

lol, no :)

reply

Just sent my first job at btctranscript.com, does anybody knows how long they are taking to review?

Ha, Hustle just rugged his mutiny wallet......

Welp, looks like this time he'll keep his seed in a more secure location.

Still bullish on Mutiny, freaks.

Everyone strapped in for the rest of this week since the Fed is meeting tomorrow and Wednesday? I can't wait to see what Powell says on Thursday with all the stagflation talk going on right now

reply

Time is running out for a Biden recovery in time for November. Not with mortgage rates over 7%. Oh yeah, the Fed is independent from the government. 😂

reply

lol yes time is def running short! Just saw an article breaking down how it has now become cheaper to rent then it is to buy a home!

Hey guys, is the transaction fee shown in the header updating itself? I have seen 116 sat/vB for quite some time:

...And who will protect us?

reply

... are you unable to protect yourself?

In the last few updates of Phoenix I've seen now that it charges fees all the time.

It used to be the case that you could receive from lightning (or send to on-chain can't remember) for free or for very few sats.

But lately I've seen that it charges thousands of sats basically with any operation.

It is a great wallet nonetheless but I'm a bit curious about this as I haven't followed the development in detail.

I was watching a podcast and the guy on there said that all he did to market his business was create an irresistible offer, create a post with a link to a trello board and then he watched his customer base grow! I am going to try it because if it works - how many hours will it save me trying to figure out how to "properly" market myself???

reply

Sounds like a low cost idea to try

reply

The important part, I suspect, will be the "irresistible offer". Go for it!

reply

I agree! I just need to get to work on it!

ResidentResident

The most common understanding of this word is as follows: “the act or fact of dwelling in a place for some time”.

However it also refers to the act or fact of living or regularly staying at or in some place for the discharge of a duty or the enjoyment of a benefit.

The word “duty” implies an obligation which is to follow and accept legislation, and benefit is the outcome of said obligation if not followed, which is usually a fine.

This becomes more apparent when referencing The Black’s Law definition: “a tenant, who is obliged to reside on his lord’s land.” In short, a resident is without property rights. A Residence is not considered a fixed or permanent home.

OccupierOccupier

This title is often used in letters and unfounded notices sent to you in the mail. This is a legal term that implies occupier by virtue of a lawful contract, either express or implied, or even without any contract.

However if you have entered into a lawful contract then you will be notified by name, by the person you have the contract with, and not by the title of “occupier”.

Expressed contracts means intended contract requiring your consent.

Implied contracts are in fact implied service agreements, which attempt to enforce legal obligations to whoever accepts the title “occupier”.

reply

Good morning Stackers!

Do you wake up as the same person you were before going to sleep?

reply

Nope but that keeps it interesting.

reply

I think you are a new person, but very closely related to who you were yesterday.

A bit like having a kid really, but without the benefit of stem cells which don't have all the mistakes your cells have and propagate to the next day.

Preparing for a job transition and getting fixated with left-field interview questions. Here’s one question contributed by @Satosora:

Do you like change?

My response:

I like to think of myself as adaptable and nimble, so I welcome change. I think the advent of technology often brings about new ways of getting things done more efficiently and effectively, so I’m happy to invest time to learn new tools to complement my teaching. For example, I love how technology, like Gemini and Magic School.AI, has quickened my lesson planning process. I also enjoy learning new ways of writing students’ remarks through the Appraiser App. However, I think change should not be introduced too frequently. Sometimes, especially for curricular materials and assessments, it is worth sticking by the same Scheme of Work or Term of Specifications for a 2-year cycle so that we can get a more complete set of data to ascertain their strengths and areas of improvement.

Creating is hard - hard but doable, it just takes so much time and focus; no wonder people choose to consume.

Creating is so much more rewarding though!

consuming fills your soul with things to speak about, but only when we create do we let our souls speak.
