That makes sense, I guess my view is/was that once you have dealt those technical items appropriately the CoC should be significantly lower on bitcoin vs US10yr + risk premium on USD. I hadn’t expected the infrastructure / engineering costs to be as high as you are inferring though. I also was looking at it from the perspective of a person or business already holding bitcoin and putting it to work rather than a purpose built business investing and expecting a return. More to think about…

Seeing more and more talk about cost of capital concerns on #Bitcoin lightning channels. I'm not sure cost of capital is the correct framing in the argument? Is this not first a safety / risk of loss and then networking, routing or connectedness concern rather than CoC. Once above is solved we can more accurately price the risk of lightning channel (and benefit of liquidity) vs. safety of cold storage.
Am I thinking about this incorrectly?

This is great, thank you. Thoughts on the Firewalla gold as a simpler approach?

Only one of these claims to be the only way though and that's Jesus.
CS Lewis puts it well. "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him (Jesus): I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ... Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God."

Awesome, new update works. I was able to zap #[5], I am unable to zap you #[4] though, it's almost like you don't want to allow me to show my appreciation the fun way.

I see Amethyst literally just rolled out an update. I've installed just looking where to update... Thanks for the assist.

#Nostr people, I need help how do I change the value of a zap I'm sending. I'm using WOS and I can only send 1000 sats, no less, no more. What am I doing wrong? #[0] you do loads of this, what's my issue here?

2023-02-22 09:17:14

- reply

That's awesome thank you. It does work. So second question, how do you set the default zap amount?

2023-02-22 09:14:53

Couple questions - Please could someone try zap me on this tweet. I think it's working if you click on my address but I can't test zapping myself (works on others) on a tweet. Also how does one change the amount you are zapping a person, I see people talking about 100 sats but mine all default to 1000...

2023-02-22 09:08:01

Dude it's seems you are unzappable? I yet an error when attempting it, is that intentional?

Ha ha ha. Dammit, it displayed perfectly on my side but that's likely because I was the source of the file. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I responded to this a while ago but seems like it disappeared... I can't get my head around why the risk of reorg is higher than the probability of them finding the next block. Happy to admit I'm being the slow one in class.

Testing - there is a upload image on Amethyst... I was lazy and this is the first I found not points being proved I promise.

I'm between Amethyst on Android and Iris or Damus on iPad. As I understand it Iris was the easiest wrt pictures - but I should not be advising - very much still learning.

2023-02-21 14:58:04

Think its quite dependent on which client you are using.

2023-02-20 13:00:19

Right, I don’t get it. Now remember, not a mathematician but how can the risk of reorg be higher than the probability of them finding the next block? Please be patient with the slow person in the class.

2023-02-20 07:46:32

Anyone having syncing issues across different clients. Comments I have made are sometimes only visible on one of the clients not the other. Follower count also differs? Does it point to me having set up relays badly? #nostr #[1] #Iris #amethyst

Maybe to provide some direction before I get lost in all these responses 😉. I have probably 3 broad approaches. 1. Our customers already want to do this, let’s support them in a responsible way. 2. Risk based approach - Get involved, understand and build as a hedge against a future where it wins. 3. We have a responsibility to offer our customers an alternative to the existing rails, savings options and importantly CBDC onslaught. @caitlinlong would be very interested in you views as well.

So my current mission is to educate my business on why it’s worth ‘risking’ our reputation through involvement in Bitcoin. I know there are 100’s of great articles and pods and I have a solid base but any specific suggestions? #[0] #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4] #[5]

It’s just very much not my thing that why I boldly claimed my intuition 😅. I will do the work though, just reluctantly.

Doesn’t feel intuitively correct, I can’t argue the point in any detail at this point but feel like I need to understand it better.

Am i correct in saying that zap sending is still only available in TestFlight Damus?

Any chance the lightning numbers are subdued because of something like… bulk of lightning users use Muun and that doesn’t reflect as lightning but rather onchain? Could be way off but trying to understand it?

2023-02-13 19:26:55

Right, I have a bunch more learning to do but I have posted, been zapped (the good kind not the Roger Ver kind), feels like winning… #introductions

As far as I can tell it’s currently only on TestFlight version. Also don’t see it on main app version.

So slightly unfair question… if you were to set up a multisig (limited to 3 signers for now) and wanted to use different manufacturers which would be signer 2 and 3? #[2] #[1]

2023-02-12 19:14:10

Dammit, #Damus TestFlight is full so sending is out of the question for now but receiving sats is never a bad thing.

I had the same issue on Astral but not on any others. Iris, Damus and Amethyst were fine.
