@npub1gd3h...cn8c is there a way to donate to GrapheneOS using LN?

Low time preference = waiting for 1-2 sats/vB

@Marty Bent that ETF conversation with Fred was a helpful window into how people in Fred’s socio-economic group might respond to a bitcoin ETF. I also thought you did a good job interviewing and staying respectful. Kudos and thanks for bringing Fred on!

Alan Greenspan was an Austrian economist? 🤯

@OpenSecret how is the channel open fee communicated to a new user when they want to claim their gifted sats via Mutiny? Is it the same new user flow ? “Your first lightning receive needs to be 100,000 SATS or greater…”

The infinite became finite, the eternal and supratemporal entered time and became subject to its conditions, the immutable became mutable, the invisible became the visible, the Creator became the created, the Sustainer of all became dependent, the Almighty infirm. All is summed up in the proposition, "God became man." — John Murray

Is there a way to receive alerts when mining fees drop to a certain average? @npub18d4r...6lt3

It seems a lot of people are not paying attention to how much they are overpaying in fees relative to the value of their transaction. 🫠💸

Seems like Zeus Pay is the culprit? @ZEUS

I’m happy to report that the embedded node in Zeus and Robosats work well.

I’ve been learning more about sovereign and private lightning usage. Darthcoin’s write up on various LN topics have been useful.

Metal backups, the ones into which you punch divots, are great until you need to destroy them (for privacy). Punching divots in most letters is a major pain. Obfuscation through divots plus angle grinder seems to be the way.

@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 when Q1? Are we close?

PSA: Bitcoin cannot fix the human heart. I thank God for Bitcoin. It’s a superior form of money vs. everything else today, but at the end of the day it’s a tool, albeit a very necessary and useful tool. Our history and current events are rife with examples of mankind’s brokenness. But we don’t have to look that far. Everyday, I see the effects of my sins and the resulting brokenness in my life and relationships. At the end of the day, no technology, discovery, or person(s) can fix the human condition. We need a savior. Look to Jesus—our only hope and comfort in life and death.
