The age of talking about Bitcoin is over. Welcome to the age of using it! Step aside meetups, podcasts and conferences, make space for Block Parties, Bitcoin villages and avenues!

I put together a Lightning Candy Dispenser today with the help of some friends. $5 hardware to Lightningfy any device, absolutely powerful thing. As usual, I’m at awe of the inventor of the Lightning Switch, Ben Arc. Hi Ben!

No matter how many relays I add or remove, I seem to only be able to connect to n-1 of them.

If you see the Disco Biscuits cart around Vancouver, don’t forget they take sats (and their donuts are delicious)!

Is it just me or is this summer slump worse than usual? No activity or energy anywhere to be found, no drama, no politics, barely anything! Am I just unusually active this August, what did I do in previous years around this time?

It’s disheartening to see the state of #Bitcoin commerce solutions. But not surprising at all, given how even Bitcoiners prefer to use credit card payments. No users -> no investment -> no products -> no adoption. If Bitcoin fails, it’s because of us Bitcoiners.

I had an odd and sudden streak of productivity fueled by 90s Eurotrash pop tonight. Weird but appreciated.

Sure, Bitcoin will go up in price with or without merchant adoption, but imagine just how much more valuable it can be as the money of choice of everyone. And that’s even more relevant for human freedom.

Find the Old Country Pierogi food truck Saturday and Sunday 2-10pm at the Vancouver Mural Festival, they'll be taking #Lightning⚡ payments!

What’s good node etiquette? How often are you allowed to nag your peer about their neglected Lightning node? How often do you _have to_ nag them before it’s acceptable to force close? If you gifted a channel, can you take it back?

It’s always very sad to encounter an abandoned Lightning node, especially when there are services connected to it. There are tons of tools out there that can help monitor uptime and channel liquidity, if you want to earn sats routing, or you are using your node to make or receive payments, ask me for tips, but don’t just leave it!

In the latest Futurama episode, Bender buys a donkey for 13 micro-Bitcoin, names it Rusty and gets abducted to the Bitcoin mines while the rest of the crew try to find rare metals to build mining machines.

It’s been five months since I closed my bank account, but I still get monthly reminders to check my statements.

Why would a Cinema require my phone number before they let me buy a ticket online? What’s even more offensive, they justify this is for “security”
