I received my #ColdCardQ & started using it right away. Unsolicited constructive feedback @NVK Before I give out an address to receive, I always view it on the device. I give @Coinkite points for trying to improve the UX of address display by splitting the letters up into chunks of 4 but for me it makes life harder. Could you add a setting to display all in one string? Want to really leverage the platform you’ve built? Show me the full address, and let me type letters and highlight the places where the string I typed matches (or doesn’t) the address you’re showing me. Here’s the use: I temporarily memorize some sequence of letters near the middle/end. I type on the keyboard & the Q highlights them so I can quickly verify that the chunk is in the address. (Show a warning if the substring isn’t found)

Honest question about Lighting Network: If I’m a net saver, where is the channel liquidity going to come from? Say I’m being paid in BTC over LN, is the employer is going to keep splicing-in my weekly wages? What if they have dozens of employees? Are they doing splice tx for each employee’s channel every payday? Are these FAQ where I should just RTFM? Where is TFM?

You’re at your regular supermarket, in the egg aisle. A young man wearing an overnight-camping-style backpack walks past you toward the back of the store carrying only a handle of Jameson (1.75l). He turns to look over his shoulder, perhaps to see who is watching. You strongly suspect shoplifting is afoot. What do you do? - nothing - mention it to a store employee Does your answer change if the item he was carrying is more of a food staple? (Eggs, bread)

Formula for KYC-free Bitcoin 1. Buy Bitcoin on KYC exchange 2. Transfer to self custody 3. Transfer to another address shortly afterward 4. Report on your taxes that you sold the Bitcoin For the extra spicy ppl in the crowd: 5. If the price went down between 1 & 3, report a loss and take the write off. If the govt ever comes to you asking about that Bitcoin, you point to your taxes saying that you sold it shortly after you bought it. If they ask where the money went t, say you paid someone for work they did.

@jack mallers I have a feature idea for @npub1ex7m...vyt9 If @npub1ex7m...vyt9 can’t offer a fill within x% of the price showing on the chart, don’t let me buy/sell. Or at the very least put the percentage delta in big, bold red letters. Friday @ 2:51pm Pacific I had the opportunity to buy some corn for 129k, 20% above the number the chart said. I almost didn’t notice because that detail is so small. You love us? Help us make good decisions. image
