Wanted to share a good video on prediction markets, but then noticed @ek already did: #344971. Go watch it :)

I wonder in such a case what is considered good practice: share the video again (and forward sats to OP), or simply mention it here in the saloon? What do you guys usually do? I'd say if has been posted a long time ago, the former option seems reasonable...

Post it again, mention it was posted before, don’t forward sats

More and more people are resorting to AI-assisted content. I suspect when they see the output they're like "look at all these thoughts I can pretend are mine!" and "I've saved so much time by not thinking!"

It'd be one thing if they used AI to help them remember things/facts they've forgotten/omitted, but I'll never understand copy and pasting the redundant, formulaic prose.

It looks like a lot of people don’t seem to be able to discern whether AI is making a post or a real live, breathing, blood-pumping, human being is doing the posting. It is an interesting situation.

Hey @ek why do I still have the predyx boost at the top of my territory hot list from a month and a half ago? I thought it was only supposed to stay for 30 days.

Happy to promote predyx but this tyson vs paul thing is mega outdated.

today I leave an idea here, sharing and writing in SN is a delight because we can leave our criteria free and at the same time discreet on topics that are incredibly cool, today I leave an important question on the table, if a massive campaign was made to let the world know more culture about BTC and how to use it in projects of benefits to the world, propose ideas, how about a hospital to promote the quality of life of patients with metabolic problems. Or research centers for rare autoimmune neurological diseases. a few BTC would make those dreams come true. schools and educational institutes where BTC is used in LN for payments from snacks to study material and in the subjects, financial education, BTC and digital assets.

What about you my dear stackers? Any other projects to improve the quality of life?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 3 Jan

I don't think we're at the "remake society" stage of bitcoin's growth yet. Holders are going to keep holding so long as the price is expected to keep going up relatively fast.

That's okay. But because NWC has both functions as mentioned, why can't we just input string for both recieving and sending?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b 2 Jan

Because the sting has spending permissions and we don't store spending permissions on our servers.

After Jan 3rd stackers should be aware of these aspects:

how much they will pay in LN fees and what routes they used (some are more expensive)
how much they will get a "SN tax cut"
how much will cost them to open and get (force) closed LN channels (if they use own LN node)
if they run their own LN node, keep an eye on your node performance. With more activity, your node database will increase exponentially, that means more maintenance. That is affecting directly your node reliability This is a warning for all those home node runners with shity RPis...
how many failed zaps
how many rewards will get

SN will tell you only about "how wonderful is life with p2p zaps" but will not tell you how hard is to maintain a self-custody LN node. YOU WILL REMEMBER MY WORDS.

Going to be FUN:) Will see how things play out, but then stackers don't really need to run a self-custody LN node for SN.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 2 Jan

A system like SN is not meant to use this kind of "LN zap interceptor". Too much friction for so many small zaps. People have a wrong idea about "streaming sats"... But soon they will find out.

This will have an impact in:

how many times stackers will zap. Will be less and less. You will prefer to do a single bigger zap, one time than 10 small zaps.
the amount they will zap. Bigger zaps will be only when is really worth it, bounties, boosts etc.

The whole era of 1-2-3-10-20 sats even everything under 500-1000 sats will be over because are not worth it.

That's why I will remain a "cowboy credits" maxi and not involve any of nodes into this "p2p zaps". For me SN remain a "pay to post". So if I remain without CCs I will just deposit more sats and use them to pay to post.

51 sats \ 7 replies \ @DarthCoin 2 Jan

I wonder why is named "p2p zaps" if most of the people are using other custodial accounts for SN zaps anyways...

You are getting it wrong. CCs are not shitcoins. Are simply credits to use SN. Like WoW gold. That's all. Why to complicate things with a crap fedi when stackers can just use CCs for pay to post? Fedi doesn't solve anything in SN case. Just complicate it more.
