Yep there are two houses our street that’ve been vacant for 6 months. Another one around the corner was turned into an Airbnb after failing to lease after a few months.

Start9 is still down, the community support was helpful but haven't been able to get the thing up and running again, maybe I will later, still have corn on joinmarket....
Seems like I rugged myself on an e-cash wallet, not much but the rug always burns.
I'm headed to CoinOs and set the auto withdrawal threshold to 25k sats, sent on-chain to a hardware wallet.
Alright, found the e-cash.
Ladies and gentlefreaks, the e-cash has been found.

Yikes what happened?
Switched Wifi routers from xfinity to tmobile......ever since the thing hasn't worked properly, even when switching back.....
That sucks. May be a firewall issue, but I'm sure you've checked lots of things already.
Did you use your own hardware to create the Start9, or did you buy their hardware? I would be disappointed even more if it was the latter.
Bought their hardware.
Tried backing it up earlier but ran into difficulty and ended up putting it on the to do list.

Anyone else having issues with failed zaps today?
Anyone is aware of my warnings?
Coinos?
Yes, I have been seeing issues for the past couple of hours.
Darth I think hit the nail on the head about it being a likely liquidity issue.
I also think it's a liquidity issue but I don't think it's inherent to custodial services. Deposits and withdrawals shouldn't be as out of balance as he suggests. I never heard of such problems with WoS and we also did not have liquidity issues ever afaik.
You can't use WoS in the US but that's not a problem for me. I don't mind using WoS as a backup. How do I set up NWC with WoS?
You can't. I only mentioned WoS to clarify that liquidity issues are unrelated to it being custodial or not. You can absolutely have a good custodial node, just see all exchanges that run lightning nodes or as mentioned, us or WoS. It's a skill issue imo.
(sorry @adam_coinos_io 👀)
Gotcha.
I had a couple zaps that went through but then others that failed since I detached and reattached. I guess I will just have to up my desired balance and use the SN wallet until it is sorted out.
I just don't reply to DarthCoin anymore because it's a waste of time. If people want to swallow his pills, I shouldn't mind, they can go ahead and become NPCs that hate other NPCs, lol.
Yes. Tons of failed zaps today. I just detached and reattached the wallet in NWC to see if that solves the problem.
I zapped your reply 40. It shows sent in Coinos wallet. Let's see if it fails after a moment.

So? What is the meaning of that poem?
Now I should follow poems when I transact?
a right is anything that is not a wrong, i.e. does no harm or theft. people talk about rights, but those are too infinite to list. furthermore, there is usually no substance to a right.
a theft or harm is very real and felt by the victim without question.

SATOSHI - 0.11 - November 14th 2008
Bitcoin's hard-capped supply was confirmed for the first time in it's history, by Satoshi "...when the total coins created hits the pre-determined ceiling."
"The network has to avoid any central
point at which pressure can be applied. Recall Nero's
wish that Rome had a single throat that he could cut. If
we provide them with such a throat, it will be cut." Said James Donald regarding centralization.

be strong in your faith. put on the full digital armor of bitcoin, so that u can take your stand against the Fiat schemes.
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the matrix, against the self-proclaimed authorities of the game, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the virtual realms.
therefore put on the full armor of Satoshi, so that when the day of evil monetary reset comes, u may be able to stand your ground, and after u have done everything and stacked as hard as u could, to stand against the virtual tokens of Satan.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace and prosperity. in addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of FUD.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Hashing Power, which is the word of Satoshi, and get ready to fuck the banks. Fiat delenda est.

How does the rewards distribution work? Can you provide me with some information?
The daily rewards are distributed according to the rank points each stacker manages to earn over 24 hours. To earn these rank points you have to zap top posts/comments and be zapped. The higher the zap value, the better.

Refusing a cup of tea is really rude and show no respect. Especially when is from somebody that is willing to help you.
I would cancel my stay in the booked hotel and tale the room to the one offering me a cup of tea, just by making that mistake.
Amazing story you share. Shows how fucked up this world is... I mean people in it.
I would have enjoyed the tea and stayed there after that show of good-will.
I just wonder what people are thinking when they act like this.
When I was an expat, I always tried to learn at least some of the local languages. I know I screwed up a lot, but people were really willing to smile, chuckle and let it go.
They would even try to help me out by correcting me.
The only time this did not work well was when there were two local languages and they were trying to teach me both at once, which was super confusing until I asked them to try teaching me only one. I got the impression my friends thought that was sort of retarded!

That is the difference between traveling on your own, by yourself and traveling with a companion. You and your companion seem to be centered on each other rather than the people around you. I think this is the picture of the ugly tourist. You can see it in group tours where there is a crowd of people that just pay attention to each other and taking pictures.
