Maybe fifteen years ago, I was driving through an incredibly violent storm listening to this. It was one of those weird storms where the lightning seems to be moving vertically as much as it is horizontally. The rain was really intense, but kind of paused at that part of the music where you get sucked into the bubble. This was also right when I drove over a bridge from an industrial part of town to a more residential area. It was like my whole car got sucked into this super peaceful bubble and then dumped right back into the storm again when things in the music got intense again.

Also…as a bitcoiner, you gotta enjoy the encrypted cover art of that album, albeit a little less magical.

Hold my beer.

Oh wow, I just noticed from this day in stacker news, that this was my post from this day last year. I can give a 100% guarantee that this method of orange pilling is both way more effective and way less time consuming.

Thanks! Yeah, I’ve been a career musician for twenty years, and a healthy part of that has been with event bands. The musicians always bring cash because of this and ALWAYS receive huge pours. We don’t do that for the big pours, but it just goes to show that no one tips with cash these days. Bitcoin is the future.

Ahhhh!!!! Maintaining a cowboy hat in the eastern hemisphere is soooo hard. I can’t seem to keep it for more than a week. Is this by design? Are you rooting’ tootin’ wild westerners discriminating with your time zone selections?!?

I’ve seen a lot of critiquing sn articles recently and just wanted to throw my…oh wait, I can’t do that now. Hahaha

Nope, but I might be involved in some of the other upcycling projects in the works here.

…which is ironic on so many levels.

As I understand it, on that world freedom index thing, Switzerland consistently ranks number one. Their banking system may be so renowned because it’s good rather than regulated.

I made it. It’s maybe a few months old, and I shamelessly post it whenever discussions like this come up, so it makes sense that you’ve seen it once or twice. I think Ive always had Coinos as the “get involved” link on there.

Really? Seems to me like the kind of thing @DarthCoin would be into as a quick and dirty custodial solution.

@dagny761, still got that chicken picture?

Welcome!

Welcome @UDorathy55, stacker.news is where it’s at!

By the way, I recommend coinos.io as the easiest lightning wallet in the world to “register” for. I don’t use it for sn, so I don’t know if it’s good for that. But it’s the easiest thing in the world to get going with.

Absolutely, I’ve actually been meaning to send her the syllabus I was hoping to teach before applying again for an opensats grant to hear what she thought. However, I really want to present a proof of concept at varying levels before really setting something like this up and want to get that done before reaching out to her or opensats about it.

It’s actually as if I’m in this weird spin wheel (anti-spin wheel?) of things that can’t move forward. I need the miners for the proof of concept (I mean, I have an s9 currently controlled by a solar inverter through home assistant, but it’s not a true demonstration of how cool the setup would really be) and I need the proof of concept to get some funding and I need the funding to come back in January when I’ll have access to miners… Nobody’s fault but mine.

In the meantime, I feel like I’ve at least been helping out as best I can with the folks that are getting things done here and potentially will get things better sorted for tackling the initial goal/vision in the future.

I should have led with, “thanks for the encouragement.”
