What Is This?What Is This?

This is a recurring post inspired by discussions had by @Undisciplined, @elvismercury and others regarding evergreen content on SN. I’ll dig back into the past to try to locate some great posts that might be worth another read. I plan to release a new Golden Oldies every Tuesday.

Here are this week’s selections:

@bitcoinplebdev was a guest host on Stacker News Live this week, so I thought this was as good a time as any to highlight this post promoting the plebdevs backend course. This is a way for SN plebs to kickstart a career in LN development. I even toyed with the idea of checking it out myself, before I came to my senses.

This is a thought provoking post from a Stacker News legend. I remember reading this post for the first time and realizing how unprepared I was for the eventuality of hyperbitcoinization. Ignoring these issues seems unwise, and maybe dangerous.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Here’s a link to last week’s post:

Can we kidnap @elvismercury and make him write more posts?

reply

tbh If I thought he'd do it, I'd pay him a devs salary to spend his days writing on here.

reply

holy shit

reply

That’s a binding verbal contract.

Hey OP is the only lawyer in this thread, but also I’m cool with that

I remember reading this article.
Elvis was here during the march madness, if l remember correctly.

reply

He definitely was -- I joined like two days before MM began, and I'm pretty sure Elvis was the first person whose posts were so good I subscribed to them.

reply

I also remember frost dragon posting recently.

reply

I'm not sure. It seems like he's been gone a while.

reply

It hasn't been nearly as long as it feels like.

reply

I know. I thought he had been gone close to a year.

reply

He made a pretty big post a while back.

reply

He pops in every once in a while.

reply

Does he ever interact with anyone?

reply

Yes, l remember he did.
It was pretty recently.

reply

Looks like he hasn't been active since June.

reply

Man, how time flies!
His comments and post were gold.
Always good thoughts.

reply

Uggh! What a (Dark) future prediction for Bitcoin hodlers and what a great solution. This is the first time I clearly understood why multisig.

I announce I'm now a lifetime fan of @elvismercury.

reply

We need more @elvismercury!

reply

Woah thanks for the feature, can't believe this is a year old already! Let me know if you ever come OUT of your sense haha

reply

@siggy47, you should take the course! I made it through (admittedly barely) and had never coded a day in my life before taking the front end course.

reply

Really? Congrats! You know, if I have the time at some point maybe I will. It seems like an incredible opportunity.

reply

I'm an old guy with a poor memory. This stuff is for young brains. I really do absolutely love what you're doing. How has it been going? Is there demand? I have to believe there are so many stackers who would love this education. BTW, you could probably pull off a side gig as a podcast host😀

Off topic...

Where/How did you get that gun?

reply

I would tell you..... but then I would have to kill you.

reply

Everyone calm down.
