Everything is ephemeral. Only Rome is eternal

Train travel is amazing. Comfy seats, lots of leg room, a restaurant in walking distance, respectable Wifi, ~150km/h travel speed, stops in the city center, €25 for a 2.5h trip.

What a beautiful place to spend some sats in

Very impressed with v1 of LNBits. Runs smoothly, has tons of admin controls and looks super slick. One of the most exciting projects in Bitcoin, and with tons of Nostr features. Now who wants to send me some signet sats?

I’m looking for somebody to connect with in the Bitcoin community of Rovigo. Have you been? Know anyone who has? Or even live there?

Lucky find in Bologna. Getting the lunch I want, then paying for it with sats gives me incredible joy

Bought a gift card with Lightning, checked the comments and the only two reviews were from a friend and me from last year.

2018: Dumping on early adopters 2022: Dumping on retail 2026: Dumping on taxpayers I did not expect a new cycle like this!

Bitcoin was never “fine.” It always had to be fought for, it only got this far because of the sacrifices of developers, entrepreneurs and users. We can’t afford to just lean back and ignore all threats. We’re fighting on many fronts, and it’s not always looking bright: Censorship, privacy, scalability, and maybe most frustrating to me: Adoption.

A stockpile is the lumber outside your factory waiting to be processed. A strategic reserve is the forest you maintain for future generations.

Who will be the first to implement a custodial “satoshi test” just to mess with Coinbase LOL

I used to run the LNBits cashu mint, but it appears to be no longer maintained. What’s your favorite easy-to-run mint? Ideally something I can just plug into the LND RPC

We like to make fun of Europe’s approach to Bitcoin and tech regulation, but there are more shops accepting Bitcoin in Paris than in all of the United States.

What’s a good custodial Nostr service?

For the second time this year I made a credit card payment and I’m shocked how bad the UX has gotten: - Enter card details and address - Get redirected to 2FA portal - Log into bank website (requires 2FA SMS) - Obtain “secure code,” which requires a 2nd 2FA SMS - Enter secure code into 2FA portal - Obtain 3rd 2FA SMS, enter into portal - Payment confirmed, receive confirmation SMS At this point I suspect banks are even making it easier for scammers, as they patiently walk you through this kafkaesk security theater. That Lightning isn’t available as an online payment even for high-risk transactions should make you seriously doubt yourself, Bitcoin and the world around you.

I’m insanely disappointed that I just had to make an onchain payment to Namecheap as Bitpay now requires full KYC for all payments. Shame on you! How do we get Namecheap’s BTCPay on Lightning?
