(L/VA)SPs are useful, but there's no such thing as a free lunch, as is demonstrated once again.

Yo Nostr! Are there any fellow 🇮🇹 or 🇫🇷 Bitcoiners living near the frontier who would be done for meeting up? I just moved to [REDACTED] (France), I can straight up walk to Italy, and I'm thinking I'd love to see more of this transnational love and understanding that Bitcoin brings to us plebs. Who's done?

Seeing some pictures here and there: is BHB2023 hosted in a warehouse?

Coming soon to a block explorer near you

The latest issue of [Latest Strikes](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-48-august-1st/) is out. It delves into some notable news that happened in the Lightning world last week: - how a user took advantage of a bug in @Stacker News - @nodeless.io becoming open source (thanks to investors not grasping how cool it is) - the @Human Rights Foundation / @HRF (RSS Feed) and @Voltage partnering to help activists worldwide integrate Lightning into their online presence - many wallet news (mostly custodial ones: @Alby,@`blinkbtc`, Mash) - looping out to an external xpub - splicing merged into Core Lightning (cc @Blockstream 🚀) - and the blueprint of real-word data gathering for endorsement-based reputation systems to help fight channel jamming. As always, baked with 🧡 and ⚡️

I’m currently trying @nos.social on MacOS again after a long time, and I must say this client is sharp! Notes and content load quite quickly, the general experience is very smooth. The “Discover” panel is interesting, although its format is quite different from the “Feed” one. Me likey.

The .channel TLD was made generally available in June this year 👀

Awesome stuff! Wondering whether it would be interesting to add the ability for the funding to "trickle down". The package developer could add a `recursive` property in the package.json funding area, which would be a decimal between 0 and 1 describing how much of any received funding would be automatically sent further down to other packages devs. It could be achieved even more granularly by combining PkgZap with ZapSlitter.

It's been two weeks but I just can't get over how insulting it is from the ECB to pretend they're giving the People a say in the making of their money by allowing them to pick the new banknotes design.

Really pumped by the AI x Lightning convergence and the tools set forth by Lightning Labs to help make this a reality! Cherry on top: no token needed (although I hear there're some macaroons involved 😁). Similarly, @Wavlake help us see how a new "content economy" can be created, with fair retribution for all, without NFTs or dumb 💩coins.
