The entire point of Bitcoin is to transmit money, everyone needs to stop making idiots out of themselves by denying we are doing this. If the government ends up ruling "Yes, you need a license to run a Bitcoin node or hold Bitcoin keys", then you have dug your own grave by pretending they have the authority to control this in the first place. Grow some fucking balls and be proud of transmitting money. Stop begging the government to reevaluate their regulation that denies you this basic human right. — Kruw

I'm preparing a simple transaction merging tool for old-fashioned onchain transactions. You send a bitcoin to someone, and they send it to someone else. Both transactions are still pending so you can merge them together without cooperating. You will optimize the transaction size → 🏃speedup the mining or 💰increase your change output.

Let me know if you find it useful. You can help with testing, if you like :-)

With ecash you have to trust someone... But that someone could still be you.

- E-cash is awesome and sucks - Bitcoin is awesome and sucks - Nostr is awesome and sucks But all combined could be huge 🔥 View quoted note →

Phoenix now supports BOLT12 🎉 But I still don’t like their vendor-lock 🙃

Exactly. And don't be alarmed when the Qerko app is needed. Some waiters don't even know that you can pay with bitcoin, but that shouldn't put you off. Business owners are getting the overview and seeing that accepting bitcoin is the cheapest for them. It's worth it, by paying with bitcoin you are sending a message 🔥 Btw you can use fake email for better privacy and for the payment you will use whatever lightning app. View quoted note →

Hi @ZEUS , your app is awesome 🤩 Just few things I’m missing as of now. - Open channel from another wallet - Fallback to external hw wallet - Bolt 12 Do you plan any of these? I don’t see them in the GitHub list…

What is the best alternative for Google products? Mainly mail and calendar…

#Bitcoin is a global race. It's not about if everyone will use it, but who will use it first. Do you want big corp to figure it out before your family and neighbors?

Jak darovat bitcoin pomocí Lotes – Jednadvacet

Defending #bitcoin maximalism ⭐️ 10 years ago, I didn't know bitcoin existed. But I was fiercely convinced that we needed better money than fiat. Gold seemed to me to be the best option for uncorrupted money. I imagined that anyone with funds in gold would not be so easily robbed. In time, perhaps institutions will develop that will compete and allow better service using gold backed money. I wouldn't even think of speculating whether they are Juan, Dollar, Ruble or Peso. It is all fundamentally the same scam. While I don't know their monetary policy or history, in important parameters it's all the same. Once I discovered bitcoin, it took me a few years to believe that it could actually become better money. Consequently, I switched to bitcoin as quickly as I could. If something comes along that I perceive as better than bitcoin, I will try to switch to it very quickly. But I don't currently see any project that even comes close to bitcoin fundamentally. Few are even trying to go in that direction. Until someone comes up with an original idea or execution or just whatever, it's a waste of time to wade through the altcoin garbage in my opinion. There are more than enough smart people wasting their potential like this. And I believe that if someone discovers something that makes sense, they'll be happy to talk about it.. similar to how I scream to the world that bitcoin is the rarest tradable commodity mankind has ever seen. Until then, I'd rather devote my full attention to spreading and improving bitcoin.

Do we even remember the 5th of November?

Use #bitcoin as a default option everywhere
