I know this well from photography. Reducing down from 500 to 8 is an art.

They mention something about only ‘signature transactions’ though. Are you earning back on every transaction or only some?

Here are a few photographs from this evening that I made today using the lens. I decided to do a first test using it wide open at f2.8 to reveal it's character.
You get to understand a lens by doing this, IMO, as you see how the bokeh looks with the sensor.
This would certinaly be different had I mounted it on a film body with a LTM, but I had this paird with my Fujfilm Xpro2 with an LTM adapter by Urth.
I'm rather suprised how well it works wide open. I'll continue to do more tests this week. But so far, I quite enjoy it. Thought about selling it but now I may keep it. We'll see...
Edited in Adobe Lightroom using the Version 1 calibration mode as well.

I went to a bitcoin meetup about a week ago. It was my second time going, so I was familiar with a couple of people from last time. There were some new faces that I haven’t met this second round so it was nice to meet some new people. It’s a lot of fun and also great to be able to speak a similar language, as many I find have no idea what bitcoin even is, so these bitcoin meetups are a time and place to converse about nuanced things, and learn a lot along the way.
One of the plebs there noticed my Leica and was curious about it. They said that they have some Leica lenses and other camera stuff at home and would love to show me. Being a Leica lover, I was very curious to see what it was that they had. I found that going to this bitcoin meetup was almost a perfect time for this sort of thing to align.
A day later or so, the same pleb reached out to me showing me a photo of the lens. An old Summeron LTM 35mm 2.8 from 1956. Very cool, I’ve never seen one before. They asked if I would be able to help them set up their sparrow wallet and their node, and in exchange they will give me the Leica lens. That sounded like a good deal to me. Plus, I’m always happy to help other plebs with their bitcoin setup, if I can of course so I felt it was my duty to take it on. I said of course.
They invited me to their home, which is a very trusting decision, which I was graciously taken in and shown around. They had a few bitcoin memorbelia like Fred Krugers “The Big Bitcoin Book” (even though he’s a complete shitcoiner now), and also these FTX Sunglasses from a Bitocin2022 conference which will surly be worth something one day.
We went upstairs to start working on the setting up of Sparrow Wallet on their Windows computer. I went and did verification first of the download first (which is highly recommend to do) and then also proceeded in setting up a fresh wallet on their Ledger Flex. They also had an older Ledger X in use. The setup was fairly straightforward for bringing in the Ledger Flex, but there were some issues with the Ledger X that I wasn’t aware of. I didn’t realize that in Ledger your able to have multiple wallets of the same asset, and of different crypto. Upon trying to import the information into sparrow from Ledger, it was only showing I believe one of the internal wallets but not some of the others. I’m not sure why. I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced this, and knows a solution to having all of the internal wallets to be read by Sparrow.
In all though, it was a great experience. I had a good time. I was probably there for a few hours as well just because some of the above issues regarding Ledger was a bit of a tricky problem. I will honestly say though from this first hand experience; Ledger is not a good wallet. I would stay away from it completely, and this pleb knew that as well from others that have told them. I recommend to use Blockstream Jade as it’s a trustworthy device, company and focuses on Bitcoin only which is what you want in a hardware device.

“Put that camera down, you bitch,” someone yelled out of a car as it drove by with the door wide open.
I had a little time in Savannah yesterday to walk around and take some photos. I tend to wander through the rougher areas — not just in Savannah, but in any city I visit. I’m drawn to the spots most people avoid. Not the tourist zones, but the alleys, the quiet, broken-down neighborhoods where the grit is.
I’ve photographed Savannah a lot over the past few years, so it’s getting harder to find places I haven’t already been. But every now and then, I’ll stumble on a back street or alley I’ve never seen before, and in it, something I’m almost certain no one else has photographed.
There’s something about walking aimlessly with a camera that I find incredibly fulfilling. Honestly, if I could do just that for the rest of my life — wander around and photograph things that most people overlook — I’d be content.
There’s a quote I heard recently - can’t remember who said it — but it stuck with me. It was something like: “It’s better to be aimless than to be rigid with a plan.” Because when you’re too locked into a goal, you might miss the opportunities that pop up along the way. You need to stay flexible, fluid—open to what the world hands you.
That’s how I feel about photography. I’ll walk for hours—sometimes five to ten miles — just to see what shows up. It becomes a game. A game between me, the camera, the street, and whatever decides to show up that day.
Usually, it takes a few warm-up shots to get into it — just pictures of objects, whatever catches my eye. But once I find a rhythm, it’s like the world starts to reveal itself. The good stuff comes out of hiding.
That’s what real photography is to me. Not staging scenes or setting up portraits—that’s more like illustration, as Garry Winogrand would say. What I care about is life. Life unfolding right in front of you. Life happening.

Had another dream last night:
Eric Johnson was on a university campus playing “Cliffs of Dover.” The students who had arranged for him to be there apparently weren’t allowed to, and the school administration started chasing after them. So we were all running - darting through buildings, across campus lawns, trying to hide.
Eventually, we ducked into a small library. Inside, tucked into a quiet nook, we found this old cabinet. When we opened it, there was a strange artifact - some kind of scroll that slowly unrolled upward, covered in cryptic glyphs and abstract symbols. As it kept going, a #Bitcoin symbol appeared on it.
And in that moment - while still in the dream - I realized something. It felt like Bitcoin, or at least the idea of Bitcoin, was ancient. Like it had always been there.

Mmm no dont think so. I messaged the start9 team so I’ll wait and see. They were helpful last time.
Since I reset Bitcoin Core to defaults, the rpcuser and rpcpassword likely changed (or were removed if not explicitly set), which broke the connection between electrs (and probably LND too) and Bitcoin Core.

Just had one of those moments while driving where I pass something amazing that I would love to photograph.
Prompt: A dark green semi-truck with a brilliantly polished chrome front, gleaming under soft daylight. The entire front is covered in frothy white scrubbing bubbles as a man in a plain t-shirt vigorously washes it. Reflections shimmer across the chrome, catching glimpses of sky and surroundings. Candid roadside moment, gritty and beautiful.

I've used clients like Highlighter and Habla for making long form notes for nostr, but I never enjoyed them, nor did they work well.
I was browsing through nostr just a few minutes ago and came across a conversation that was talking about this sort of thing and someone in the comments mentioned a client that I have never heard of before called https://untype.app/
It's great. I think this may be the best long form note making / posting client out there right now. Super clean interface and other great features.
There may be something better but this really impressed me. You can connect an OpenPort API key for the Ai features and even export your notes as PDF's if you want lol.
