Probably the least noisy thing you can get, if you get a ProBook or Latitude or something of that nature they're off-lease corporate wagie computers meant for a cubicle, very quiet since there's no hefty video card for gaming or thirsty chip.

Satoshi was an NSA project to save the US financial system and align global trade as part of a larger operation, and working as intended already.

The peers referred to in the paper are non-central banks. Regional, investment and other institutions are peers the same as we.

Lightning is literally just REUSABLE bitcoin transactions with added privacy, we have no idea how much its used because its so private.

Cope, not even remotely true... just because the parties (fake) seem fragmented everything ultimately boils down to for and against, the yin and the yang, good and evil... whatever term you use to attribute to the bipolarity of the universe.

Factions within the Republican party are for example much more consequential than their Europoor counter-parts precisely because the system is first-past-the-post.

Have been playing off and on for a few months with things I don't have a proper workspace set up for locally as Gemini has been my go-to in Cursor... but for some reason Jules has been terrible the last few times I tried to do something with it.

It's another conspiracy charge just like the Scamourai one, prosecution with their dick in hand yet again, the fact they can't make anything stick on the two most egregious products in the space is a massive W.

Hipsters that will use this to doom and virtue signal should be mocked until they cry and then mocked again for crying.

Been using socket.dev for automated checks on supply chain more generally

Also my cursor rules prohibit new libs, even though they're rarely malicious they're often unnecessary or even retarded

Known bug weeks ago and this just happened in the last few hours, would be a major oops

Very strange, only 26 out of 600+ so far according to explorers, I'd assume optimization if not for the fact they're all forced closes...

That's the key if, and that's what is now changing.

When you try to calculate how many people can "own" bitcoin it increases when you change your assumptions from 1sat/vb to .1sat/vb

Increasing users = scaling

Many such cases, if you can afford 1sat a byte you're more sovereign than someone that can only afford .1, same is true for 10sat vs. 1sat.

We have no idea what the market will settle on for fees in another 15 years, entirely possible that requires 1000sats/vb to get a tx confirmed.

Yep, whether its dust in the literal sense or practical sense, the supply of <2.1q divided by that amount is the scaling limit in terms of ownership.

When I say it's the final scaling frontier that means its literally the last thing possible from a technical perspective because the supply isn't going to change and distribution/fee rate is a purely market function.

For the uninitated

Funny how this sub-sat stuff came about after I started getting vocal about the fake scaling solutions didn't address the cost of unilateral transactions that define ownership (and that only a supply increase or sub-sat fees could scale it)

Threw a grenade in the PR: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33106#issuecomment-3156258686

Which in turn trends towards miner centralization, given the greater head start to the miner of the last block. This is one of the heaviest arguments against actually bigger blocks.

What I find most interesting is that this is quietly the final scaling frontier. Since throughput is already unlimited, and ownership is a result of fee-relative supply divided by distribution, lots of scale scammers are going to cope hard because lower chain fees drastically shrinks the market for their their centralized shadowchains.

Old laptops off ebay are optimal, particularly for lightning nodes as the built-in battery will eventually save you from a corrupt channel state. Never having to connect peripherals is a bonus.

Just make sure it's got an SSD, or upgrade the drive yourself. Recommend 8GB ram minimum.

Then wipe it with a fresh Linux install.

This is one of the end-goals of Lightning.Pub, and why we put Nostr-based "offers" (and webhook triggers for them) on the node side.

The problem with self-hosted stuff like Start9/Umbrel is that providing SSL/Clearnet access for the normal consumer requires a somewhat complex network config, particularly when on a residential connection.

This means the store-front side is probably best living on a traditional commodity web-host externally, while the business logic (lightning node) remains self-hosted.

Nostr solves the networking problem by just pasting an nprofile into the store front, Lightning.Pub then solves the callback-on-payment-confirmation to the ecommerce fulfillment flow.

Too much to do... we're happy to hold anyones hand that wants to take a shot at an ecommerce interface backed by a Lightning.Pub

It's pretty incoherent honestly... follow up comment implies you're attempting a recovery? Then you absolutely should be using a real system and the CLI

Run LND on a cheap VPS or old laptop

Install Lightning.Pub next to it to provide Nostr connectivity

Paste the nprofile into ShockWallet to connect on the go even while on shitty networks

That recommendation seems excessive, I live 3+ hours from the airport which means I have to leave a lot of time for incidentals en route, and never get there THAT early... 2H tops for domestic, if I lived 15 minutes from the airport I'd probably get there 1:15 early.

Security is rarely more than 20-30 mins without pre-check, 10 with.

With border and homeland security finally in patriot control, I expect airport security spending will relocate a bit, that will move the next bottleneck to Air Traffic Control...

... coincidentally I started re-watching Ground Control yesterday with my kids after letting my oldest play a few minutes of Airport Madness and him getting hooked.

The first few minutes of that movie play out exactly what they disclosed in Newark earlier this year, systems going down while IT duct-taped cables back together. The entire premise of the movie is based on their being critically short-staffed.

That movie is from 1993.

That Newark conversation coordinated with the regime change does lead me to think the pendulum is swinging back, and we're on the precipice of another 50's-like building period we're still living off of today.

I don't think the economics of airports becoming malls get in the way of this, rich people aren't going to big airports any more... thats a lot of lost revenue because people are paying to fly out of small airports on private charter. Also there is demand destruction to be reversed, there's still plenty of incentive to make air travel more efficient.

Would a low-end VPS for LND suit your purposes?

ShockWallet communicates to Lightning.Pub over nostr events and is therefore uniquely performant in poor network settings... no POS in it yet but we'd be happy to expedite that

Lightning.Pub is better but I'm biased

Single line install, uses lnd and neutrino, no networking required since you can connect wallets/apps over nostr... Supports nostr based static offers and webhooks for merchant software

Might watch the former tonight, haven't seen it

But yes, outlook is everything... The fact that the world is a stage isn't necessarily good or bad, it's what you do with the knowledge

He's been groomed, and thus the public has been groomed, for this for decades. Associated with campaigning (as a libertarian) in the 80's, was close to JFK Jr. against Killary in 99 before they killed him, then started attacking in the 2010s... The Apprentice imaging, tough executive at the head of the table, was deliberate.

Future President's have already been selected for grooming, some you might not see run for another decade or more.... Tom Brady, The Rock... all "branding"

Reagan was branding...
