On the order of the number of payments to, through, and from SN, custodial and not. Probably 10s of millions of rows migrated roughly.
The hardest part is we're going from low detail to high detail and that we need to not destroy information in process despite some of the data being mostly historical at this point. e.g. referrals used to earn you a portion of a stacker's zaps, so every time they were zapped we gave you money. or, at one point 50% of a sybil fee went to rewards and the other 50% went to the territory founder. I'm having to find analogous representations of these things in the new schema or add defunct stuff to it.
If that doesn't fix it, let me know and we can investigate more. It could be a lightning network thing - like a liquidity problem or a flakey channel.
Reseting won't hurt.
If you want to know what went wrong, Alby Hub's logs might also have useful info. If your channels are Tor channels, sometimes that'll cause intermittent issues which tend to clear up after awhile.
If these zaps are to one stacker in particular, it might be a problem on their end.
You setup a strike account without KYC initially? I thought they KYC'd everyone. Or did you use a white labelled wallet like Primal's?
It's interesting that I prefer choosing between the 3 implementations and prefer wishy washiness. At root, I think I don't like having to (or struggle to) adjust my trust levels. I'd much rather figure something out on my own if I have to.
Migrating our existing database to fit my refactor of our new ledger for payments and their related data. I've been playing with the metaphor of SN being a blockchain but there's only a single, ever-growing block - almost exclusively in the sense that payment things are immutable and incredibly explicit.
I have a really hard time trusting anything a person says when their confidence level is always >90% regardless off the context. They're 'set' on believing or having others believe they are almost always right and it's extremely hazardous to listen to them. (This might also be why I'm not super pumped on AI. I don't find false confidence reassuring like most people seem to - I find it dangerous.)
Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying “I don’t know” to even 30% of queries
It's fun to think about how portable this is to humans. Humans also have an incentive to lie and misrepresent their confidence level.
I have no problem with that, it is how I felt and I will not pretend it didn't happen
This is the fastest path to peace imo. The real chaos is maintaining 10 crappy versions of yourself for 10 different audiences that'll never like you.
We were at 499 so I thought I might as well be the 500th. Looks like we've had an unstar since then though.
I don’t understand why Star Trek ships ever go less than maximum warp speed. There’s no speed limit or risk of hitting anything (apparently), so it’s kind of like going 25mph on a race track.
Better privacy because no accounts and no accounts means bearer auth and bearer auth means you approximately get the UX complexities of non-custodial onchain bitcoin usage (lose your auth, lose your money). And it’s custodial, so it has the normal risks associated with that (except that they can’t discriminate between users so when they rug or KYC they have to do it to everyone). It also shares one of the nice features of custodial bitcoin services: either the sender or receiver can be offline to conduct a payment. It also shares one of the worst features of custodial bitcoin services: unless the service has millions of dollars of licenses and KYCs its customers, it’s illegal to run a mint that serves any customer located in a majority of the countries (by population) on earth.*
*it’s possible federated mints are in a grey enough area that they might win in court battles though
I think about the future mostly. The present usually feels like it's in the way. I try to practice being in the present when I don't need to think about the future though. It's nice in the here and now.
I don't organize my time much. I either do everything I don't really want to do as early in the day/week as possible, then the rest of my time is spent exactly how I feel like spending it. I also try to avoid adding new things that I don't want to do to my life.
For reason they are going to stop soon cuz imf bribe grid strain: #1076024
