It's especially fun with strangers and you get better and better at it the more you do it.

A well targeted quip or joke at the right/wrong time and then glimpse at their reaction will tell you a lot about said stranger.

It can even act as a filter. Based on the way they react, you may quickly decide if it's worth investing more time and effort with the niceties and interaction.

(im not a sociopath, i promise)

Sometimes my brain prioritizes saying the thing that is funny over the thing that is proper/expected if enough people present (AKA at least me) can appreciate it

mostly bots, but also one or two extremely low quality, highly regarded commies

Lower than I had ever expected. I wonder if it's because speculators are using ETFs now where before they had to buy Onchain.

ETFs as an unexpected Layer 2 (or 3?) to unclog the chain :P

hell of a synopsis

Same. I like ecash but don't have a proper use case atm. I suppose that when it's more mature, it might replace custodial LN wallets like WoS for some? As a way to stack for almost free and then send out to self custody.

Maybe the popular "stack" will look like:

Maybe we'd all be on reddit stacking karma and thanking "kind strangers" 🤮 🤮

momma raised me to think of the starving kids in Africa

To what others said, I would add that this is only 3 days after the update. Folks are still fat and slow from the holiday food.

I say let's give time for people to learn and attach wallets, and then the ratio of CC:sats sent and received might look better

2017 is a good arbitrary year in my case too. Its when the shitcoin mania started and "crypto" trading went mainstream.

I remember because that's how I found my way in.

And no I'm not rich at all. Because of the shitcoin trading. I'm straight up poor compared to anyone who just bought and held BTC back then and went to sleep instead of watching charts and doing 3-5x leverage plays for a few dollars every day.

Wild. It never occurred to me that was even possible. I figured rents would just freeze, but never decrease.

Is it as simple as the landlords now competing for renters to not have vacant units?

edit: this is never happening where I live for the foreseeable future. Even if things radically changed it would probably take a decade or two for supply to catch up

That, even on a bitcoin-centric forum, the number of people who knew how to use non custodial LN and NWC is a lot lower than I expected.

Still early!

Interesting concept for a writing prompt (for those who knew about that subreddit)

New year, new hot topic on SN

Will the Canadian political and media class lose their shit as hard about this one than the Trump comment?

I mean they are both questioning Canada's independence and sovereignty in a way.

The only difference is one was a joke by literallyhitler, the other was.... ahhh of course: an article by our beloved journalist class in a reputable mainstream paper in good esteem with the intelligentsia.

I retract my question. Carry on.

FYI, I had setup NWC with alby, and after the update my sending connection broke (but receiving worked fine)

Followed the instructions on alby Hub to create a new sending connection and it works

I only noticed thanks to the new (dope) payment failed notification with the (dope) retry button

got that notification, created a new sending connection, hit retry and it went thru smoothly

kudos on the update. true pioneer mindset.

Wait why delete later?

If they did a pinky swear, it's illegal to lie

Its an argument people do bring up more often than you'd think lol.

"What if they shut down the internet!" "What if theres nuclear WW3?"

Yeah, what if those happen, what happens to your stonks and your bonds and treasuries?

You'll be out in roaming gangs of scavengers trying to survive just like me
