wife and I are currently in an argument about what's more painful, getting OC sprayed or childbirth. anyone with experience of either please feel free to chime in.

GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN'T FIGHT IN HERE. THIS IS THE WAR ROOM.

Rewatching Dr. Strangelove and gotta say Gen. Ripper was ahead of his time on calling out fluoride as a commie plot

Playing with Replit's new Agent and it's pretty awesome, got some funny results though like here where its subtasking structure got it to describe itself as first person plural

Janitor time, let's see how many of these we can clean up

probably a retarded Q but how do I actually start a livestream on zap.stream haha

I want to have the lightning gateway announce itself for out of mint discovery over nostr, what's the best way to do that? Currently the gateway has to register with whatever mint its servicing and clients learn of it through the mint. Is there a service provider announcement nip separate from DVMs? or probably a different kind for like mint service provider announcement as a tweak to the NIP-87 PR?

NIP-87: Ecash Mint Discoverability by benthecarman · Pull Request #1110 · nostr-protocol/nips

This is mostly just a fork of NIP-89 but changing the wording about application handling to about discovering ecash mints. Hopefully this can help ...

Plan is to run a cashu mint alongside the fedimint lightning gateway against the same lightning, then eventually have the gateway just be generic to support routing for both cashu mints and fedimints. Thinking that direct announcement will work better as a base for third party reviews to reference instead of just the third party reviews/attestations?

Working on a new UI for the Fedimint Lightning Gateway. It's a little complicated because they have 3 pools of funds they have to manage. 1. Ecash: the ecash they have across their different mints. I've currently got this showing as a single total with a clickthrough drilldown into the amount of ecash in each federation, but I think there's probably a better way to show this. 2. Lightning: Standard lightning channels, showing aggregate inbound and outbound with a drilldown for individual channels. 3. Onchain: onchain used in conjunction with the lightning and ecash liquidity management, should normally stay pretty small and just fill up when pegging out of a federation or for opening/closing lightning channels. Also have an ongoing project of running a cashu mint on top of it and ideally show it in the same UI for management. but not sure the best way to do it, probably just a top level tab over from "Gateway" to "Mint". Maximize the gateway routing fees with normal lightning routing, fedimint routing, and optionally running a cashu mint ontop all in the same interface
