Any parents out there that want help getting your kids interested in sound money, here's a piggy bank for you! Let me know if you need any help setting one up. Kind of obvious, but like, don't put a lot of money in it. This is a UI for an LNBITS wallet that's meant to look like a piggy bank. Children can track their deposits but don't have the ability to withdrawal. It is meant to function like a physical piggy bank and the parents can always go back to the original LNBITS url and withdrawal when a large enough amount of money has been accumulated to place somewhere more secure. There are a few other fun learning links and various real-time stats for the network. Grab your admin key from an LNBITS wallet and plug it in your environment variables as the value and REACT_APP_X_API_KEY as the key. Then, take a moment to reflect on the fact that I'm accepting no liability for all the money you're going to lose from using this app. Ruminate on it day and night and go on a fast if you don't feel as if you fully appreciate how silly it would be to put any significant amount of money in here. Then, have teaching your kid about Bitcoin and remember that you and only you are the one who will cover their losses if something goes wonky with this software. Big thanks to plebdevs.com and their plebdev course, where I learned how to make lightning wallets! demo: My copy of the piggy bank if you want to play around with it: https://piglnbits.vercel.app/ (Do NOT send sats here unless you intend to give them to me!) enjoy, jason npub1a95w2zch0gqfa0vhlgygz0xklwxccw6st88qkmhsk8d3tke2sqaqamsnzq

Hey all! I just finished the second plebdevs course, and it is FIRE! Here's something I was able to make after finishing the first one. As a testament to the course, I didn't know anything about coding in any language before going into that first course. If you've ever used LNBITS and thought to yourself, "I really just wish this felt like a Star Trek: The Next Generation spaceship console," here's your chance: here's a demo: and here's the repo:

@npub10uth...xdlq Hey guys, thanks for all you do in the space! I was just listening to RHR from yesterday and something caught my ear. You mentioned, as you've been consistent with in the past, the idea of altruism as a failed ideal. Later in the podcast you guys both seemed energetic to praise the external injection of capital that initially stimulates these growing circular economies. Am I right that, at least initially, most of these initial injections are usually purely altruistic? I'm thinking specifically about Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Ekasi. Sorry if this is nit-picking. This view of altruism seems like a slight, but potentially soul-sucking difference between what the older Austrians thought (coercive or dependancy-creating altruism-bad, freely giving out of plenty to folks who physically can't bootstrap themselves-good) and what's popular among a lot of modern bitcoiners. I'm just curious if you've thought through the early circular-economy donor situation or if there's something listeners like myself might need clarity on. Thanks!

Here's another fun game to share with folks who don't get the whole decentralized thing. ...OK, it's not actually that fun since you're going to win like over 99% of the time, but it makes the point.

Can someone explain to me the cowboy hat system on stacker.news? I was all excited about my cowboy hat (not knowing what it was) and am devastated that it was whisked away from me just as fast as it had been awarded. Thank you!
