0 sats \ 1 reply \ @sime 7 Dec \ parent \ on: WikiLeaks' Afghan war logs to be immortalized on the BTC blockchain on Dec. 12 conspiracy
For a longest time I feel bad using the blockchain to settle a single payment, feel sad that LN is not as available.
The block space is precious, but we don't treat like it it.

People swapping fiat for Bitcoin using Vexl at BTCPrague: vexl.it
40 sats \ 0 replies \ @sime 17 Nov \ on: is robosats the best non-kyc way to buy bitcoin? bitcoin_beginners
No one yet mentioned vexl yet.
You leverage your networks network to find bitcoiners. It's the only way I P2P trade. If I was in a real hurry, I would use hodlhodl.

Good food, drinks and service.
The tech behind the payments is irrelevant if you don't nail the above.

It's for spam mitigation. Works with a burner number too.

Yo, ex-German Kraken user here. I closed my Kraken account due to the recent re-verification nonsense. Used Kraken for close to 10 years, they served me well.
About this
I'm not that guy that I met on a conference that exclusively buys bitcoin p2p with cash
I get it's intimating initially, but it is actually beautiful in the end: Vexl uses your web of trust to match you with Bitcoiners.
It's like Bitcoin match making using people you know in common. aka tinder for Bitcoiners.
I've made some contacts on Vexl who I consider my "bitcoin friends/contacts", and we ping each other when one of us needs to buy/sell. Meet in person, and done.
Now you have a micro-community around you of Bitcoiners, which we all should have.
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @sime 20 Aug \ on: How many books do you read a year? BooksAndArticles
So many active readers, I'm jealous.
My go to is to open the computer and doom scroll (in so many words).
When eventually opening a book (non fiction), I struggle to focus as my mind races.

So channel factories are Multi-Party single channels.
Alice and Bob have a channel. They can invite Charlie to the channel without an on chain transaction.

I'm new to this, but channel batching is not the same as channel factories.

I met the guy behind this, personally I think it's overkill, but the lad is a gentleman.
I'll summon him on whatever Twitter is called these days to chime in.

Re: Tropic Square. No, it's not ready for production.
It's has touch screen. Safe 3 IMO is a hodl wallet. Safe 5 is a regular usage device because of the touch screen. In general nicer to use.

Yes, that is the haptic engine.
