10 sats \ 1 reply \ @midas 1 Feb \ on: Why don't wallets show addresses as mnemonic words? bitcoin
Do you need to even check the full address?
On my wallet, I can only see the first 5 and last 5 characters for me to check and confirm.
I've given away close to a million free sats in the last 1.5 years, using Lightning and Phoenix.
But I didn't gift Bitcoin this Christmas.
People who receive sats the first time are curious, and have that WOW! moment, which is nice.
But it doesn't really convert them... They don't try to learn more and educate themselves. And they don't change their spending habits (they're still high time preference).
Most of them don't grow their stack - maybe some of them even lost their seed phrases. Because they don't really care.
Anyway, I'm keeping my sats now. And they'll get Bitcoin at the price they deserve.
I published a couple of posts on my blog.
And I'm helping a friend with the SEO of his website.
I'm kinda giving up on my Raspi node... Because it's not reliable. I've been using MyNode, but it's hard to stay online more than 2 to 3 months. And I can never update the software in 1 click, so I end up flashing the microSD card again. When I have budget, I'll buy an old mini PC instead. And I want to try StartOS on it.
I'm also considering giving a try to hodlhodl to buy no KYC sats.
