wen shortkeys? for e.g. dark mode
Is it broken again? 😅
cmd (or ctrl) + entersubmits comments as requested by @calleWhat other short keys do you want?
shortcuts I'd like:
The only shortcut we have now is the submission one. It's the only one that's been requested.
I'll spend time tomorrow and see if I can figure out the dark mode issue. Remind me of your OS/browser again? Should help me also figure out why the submission shortcut doesn't work
I can run stacker locally right and make PRs? I don't have time currently, but will try later.
Yes. We have a docker-compose thing to make it easier. I need to improve it but it should be fine for investigating dark mode issues.
Cool. More shortcuts for the ninjas and jedis would be appreciated!
submission works btw

Regular reminder that here you can increase your default tip amount on SN!

We are also thinking of making upvotes with higher tips count for more in ranking, so might be worth getting in the practice now.
(For game theories sake we'll need to take a cut of these tips for this to work, but same same.)
Wait, isn't that already how it works???
No, it doesn’t, which is not very intuitive (as you demonstrate).
It doesn’t work that way though because people could just self-tip from other accounts at zero cost. If we make it cost something then we can make it so that tipping more means something.
Wouldn't this actually incentivize self tipping? Whatever tax rate you choose, self-tipping will always be cheaper than boosting.
Not necessarily. The effect can either be expensive or it can be capped.
Building a cabin over the weekend. Yesterday I laid down some plywood on the floor frame. Unfortunately it's raining here again, so while I'm waiting for the sky to clear up, I'm fixing some bugs in the card generator which is a part of my side bitcoin related project at https://uselessshit.co/card-generator 😉

That's pretty cool. Is the plastic staying or just to cover the foundation?
To cover the whole thing (foundation, frame, plywood) 🙂 It's raining a lot recently.
Damn, you are consistent with your posts on these dailies here, haha Also consistent with working on your side project! May I ask, do you take motivation from "having to" post these dailies every day?
I think I just genuinely believe that it's worth doing 😅 Also it takes just a little bit of my time
I see, keep them coming!
Read a bitcoin magazine article last night about paying rent in Bitcoin. So now I’m going to try and out. Going to offer my tenant a 5% discount if they pay the rent in Bitcoin. I wonder if they will take the incentive or just continue paying in fiat. Time will tell. If they do go the Bitcoin route think I will use zaprite for invoicing and track the accounting for tax purposes
Bravo 👏. Now, if you have tenants that start paying in bitcoin, then you can be using a sovereign solution to receive the payments. And that makes the tax you pay voluntary. If you disclose everything and pay what they tell you, then no offense but fuck you for funding the war state beyond what you are forced to pay.
😆 with IRS getting funded over the next five years to go after the middle class I am sure they will be chomping at the bit to audit Bitcoiners and if bitcoin rips up watch out. Even mobsters couldn’t defeat the tax man
Let them audit bitcoiners. Bitcoiners that earn and spend bitcoin never touch dollars and are outside their purview.
Non-USD income (including BTC and barter) is taxed exactly like USD income. If you earn $100k worth of BTC in a year, the IRS will claim you owe taxes as if you had been paid $100k in USD. And if you bought stuff with BTC, they might try to apply capital gains taxes, because bartering qualifies as selling; and capital gains taxes apply when you sell BTC.
It's not taxed if they don't know you earned it. And they can't apply capital gains if they don't know you spent it.
Sure, you can hide your BTC income, but the IRS will audit your tenants and soon discover how much your tenants are paying you. And if you refuse to pay taxes on that income, the IRS will take your real estate.
To be clear, I'm not pro-taxes. I'm just saying that tax-evasion is riskier than you are making it seem.
They get their compliance through fear. But in reality, who cares if you get audited? The chances are low, even with 80 billion more dollars to shake people down. They are not known for being efficient with money (lol).
So they find something and you pay some fines. Been there done that. With real estate you have options, and like a small business, you have more control than an income tax. The fear and propaganda need to be unwound. "Your duty", and "responsibility", "you owe", on the virtue side. "evasion", "fraud", "cheat" etc on bad side. It's all propaganda!
They probably think it's a scam because they can't understand why you would give a 5% discount, haha
Or they are going to educate themselves now to make sure they are not getting scammed
Nice. That’s a great use of the platform. Let me know if you think there are additional features that would help with this.
We should have discount features soon which might help steer payers towards the BTC option.
NOTICE to all stackersNOTICE to all stackers
From now on I am NOT going to tip anymore more than 1 sat for:
I will continue to upvote those that still are interesting to discuss or have a minimal importance for Bitcoin. I will tip gradually from 10 - 21 -50 -100 - 500 - 1000 sats those posts that have importance for Bitcoin (only) and meta posts will always have more sats from me, where OP is putting effort and use his brain (not just throwing endless links, just to be posted).
I would like to continue with the hope that Stacker News is still a news and discussion site about Bitcoin mainly, where posters are filtering the good information that worth sats and not convert this into a new shithole Reddit.
If you want my sats you better work hard and prove it you deserve them.

who cares?
Admit it, if you could pay sats to remove content you'd be broke, haha
You are projecting
definitely
I'm going to try to add food, more specifically, cooking to this list.
I think you wanted to link to this
Indeed I did. Thank you kind sir or madam.
Working on a Discord bot to make it possible to use Midjourney with Lightning invoices. [1]
This is inspired by the DALLE 2 Telegram bot which was posted here on SN a while ago. [2]
Currently investigating how to best implement lightning invoices.
I am also thinking about exposing this via HTTP since I don't think many people here use Discord (which is the only way to use Midjourney at the moment).
Update: Just read about Sphinx in the comments of the DALLE post. Maybe would make more sense to expose it there instead of using HTTP. I am a very bad frontend developer anyway, haha
