They usually haven't when given the choice because foreign cars where better and/or cheaper. Tariffs may force them to buy American by artificially inflating the price of foreign cars. So we get worse cars for the same price we used to pay for better cars.

If you know C++, look at BOINC (boinc.berkeley.edu). It's a cross-platform, open source tool and permission-less network (anybody can run a boinc project) for distributing large computational loads to computers of volunteers. It's used for cancer research, finding asteroids, and sifting through data from the large hadron collider. Massive userbase but very little dev time. Some of the issues on the github even have bounties on them.

You could also just make an entirely separate bank account which your accounting software never sees. TLDR keeping books separate will be much simpler than trying to integrate them

2025-03-15 20:32:17

- reply

A lot of business owners I know who primarily use USD have this workflow:
1. Do USD books like normal, don't try to integrate BTC into them at all.
2. Establish a wallet or exchange account. As you spend or receive BTC, write it down somewhere so you can go back and figure out what a tx was for, if needed. This could be the memo field in the tx, a separate text document, whatever. Just like when you use USD.
3. At the end of the year when doing capital gains calculations, mark all "incoming" payments to that account as as Income. So that's all accounted for, easy. Likewise, mark all outgoing payments as "expenses" if they are valid business expenses. Most crypto tax calculator sites have ways to do this in bulk.
4. Make sure you record any transfers from one of your own wallets to yourself separately so they don't get tagged as capital gains events in step 3.
5. Whatever account software you use, open a support ticket with them and ask them to add BTC support. They need to hear from people that want this feature, or it'll never get added.

I got a bunch of zaps from you, guessing you didn't mean to send all of them, so I sent some back :).

2025-03-15 02:46:18

- reply

It all depends on your setup. For tax purposes though
1. When you receive BTC, the value at the time of reception is treated as normal income in USD
2. When you sell/dispose of/spend BTC, you pay capital gains on that
3. When you spend BTC (for example, on a business purchase), the equivalent USD value is the amount you would deduct as an expense.
The capital gains accounting is the only real difference vs USD. You can use tools like koinly, cryptotaxcalculator, etc for that.

Issue isn't sexiness, it's functionality. It UX as a whole. DMs are broken on most clients. Reliability is low. WoT doesn't seem to actually be used in any meaninful way, discovery is difficult. Most clients have zero built-in filtering, making your global feed a venture in dangerous territory. I shouldn't have to tell my client to hide posts with the n word, 90% of users want this hidden by default, as a very basic example.

- reply

Since they are in lightning, yes, in theory, you should open your wallet once every week or two depending on the settings of your channels. If you use an LSP, and you trust your LSP not to rug you, don't need to worry about it. In practice, the attack where somebody tried to rug you by force closing a channel with the incorrect amount of unheard of. I don't know anybody it's happened to. If they are caught (by the blockchain/your wallet), there is a significant penalty, and it's all automatic, so there's really no incentive to try to cheat the system.

I don't think that's entirely accurate either. In order for them to accept lightning payments using LNURL (yourname@coinos), they need to take custody of the funds OR use a HODL/zaplocker invoice (like Zeus does). And they don't appear to be doing zaplocker invoices. @npub1h2q…w8ch are you custodial or non-custodial? This is very hard to determine based on your site.

2025-02-04 17:11:06

- reply

If you don't need to deal with multiple users/employees having separate logins, strike would work great, either as a "single user" or as a business account (longer onboarding process).
BTCPay Server is the ultimate solution for the BTC payment side. For card payments, Square is pretty popular. If you have a woocommerce store, you can do both in the same place, there's probably some way to use woocommerce as a PoS. If you don't want to host your own BTCPay server, you can use a service like opennode for basically free.
For accounting, Quickbooks is pretty standard. Everybody hates it but all the alternatives are pretty bad. Xero is decent. Use what your CPA wants.

You can use as many clients as you like, content generally syncs between them all seamlessly. Nostr is still rough around the edges in some places, media upload is definitely one of those places.

Your "view" of the network depends on what relays you are connected to. So if you are connected to different relays in different apps, you may see different things. Best practice is probably to publish to many relays if you want lots of reach. However, if you have followers, their clients will automatically fetch stuff from whatever relays you're already on (even if they aren't normally in their relay list). That's my understanding of it at least.

Would be helpful to know which app you are asking about? Each app is different.

100,000 seems high, I remember being able to get started with like $5. You may be in the "purchase channel" section, Instead just go to lightning -> receive and it will say "blah blah there's a setup fee" but you can do it for much smaller amounts. The fee should be something like $1, not $100.
There is a bit of a learning curve, but that's the price for self-custody right now unfortunately.

Exchanges are required to do certain KYC stuff, but that's US law, and many of these custodial wallets are outside the US. Are custodial wallets which offer no fiat conversion options exchanges? Debatable. All these regulations at present are aimed at exchanges, not users, I know of no situation where a user was prosecuted. There is legal ambiguity for exchanges and custodial wallets and so they are scared to serve US customers.

Sounds like something only coinos support can answer. This is a good opportunity to look into self-custody zap solutions. If you use a custodial wallet, there is always a risk your custodian ends up not being trustworthy, or getting hacked. Self-custody should be used for any amounts which are significant. Zeus is a great self-custody mobile wallet and will give you a lightning address people can zap.

Bitcoin has a larger hashrate, a larger network effect/larger adoption, a larger developer pool, and a functioning L2. Market cap doesn't matter, except that it also means more investment into infrastructure, more buy-in into the system, etc. These effects are multiplicative. And remember that Bitcoin can "absorb" innovations made in other chains, as it did with zero-knowledge proofs and other tech. The functional L2 is very very important as a P2P money protocol. You cannot scale L1 to contain all global transactions unless you make it hella centralized (blocksize debate) or build L2s and L3s. Monero has plans for an L2, but it's debatable if they actually have the development resources to pull it off. Lightning took years to get to where it is now.
"Pros" cited by monero proponents:
Variable Block Size
This is another way to say "big blocks, when we need them". If monero actually becomes the global P2P currency, this will be "big blocks, all the time". It's antithetical to decentralization. The higher the block size, the greater hardware resources to run a node. You can run a full Bitcoin node on a laptop from 10 years ago. The majority of Eth nodes are in corporate datacenters because it's not realistic to run it on home hardware/connection. Big blocks are not a real scaling solution for any decentralized system.
Privacy
Monero beats Bitcoin in this, there is no doubt. However, lightning and other L2s make significant gains in privacy for Bitcoin. Bitcoin can always upgrade to a more private protocol if it wants to, and many key people in the Bitcoin world are calling for it. Perhaps this will happen during the transition to post-quantum encryption. Things like coinjoin etc, if common, may also solve this problem. Monero's reputation as a privacy coin has caused some major legislative/political/adoption hurdles that Bitcoin hasn't had to face.

Welcome back! You not have to understand how relays or the underlying protocol work, most nostr apps just work out of the box. Here's the important things to know at a high level.
1. You control your identity. You can login to any nostr app with it and your notes will seamlessly follow you within that app.
2. Nostr is decentralized. That means nobody can censor your posts, stop you from following who you want to follow, or stop people from seeing your posts. Nobody but you can decide what goes in your feed.
3. Any given nostr app you use can decide what it displays and when. If you don't like how it does that, go back to step one, pick a different app
4. Nostr is a decentralized protocol, not a centralized social media platform. There is no official "customer support". Anybody claiming to be so is a scammer.

Idea for the @npub1xnf…lpr5 devs. There is currently no good non-custodial way to gift small amounts of BTC to people unless they already have a wallet. For example, tipping delivery drivers. On-chain tips are cost-prohibitive and leaving tips in lightning requires they have a wallet or leaving the tip in the hands of a custodial service. Zeus can solve this, here's how.
1. Allow the user to create multiple wallets within zeus, each its own seed phrase.
2. Allow the user to fund this new wallet with funds from an existing wallet (via a lightning transaction).
3. The user can now give that seed phrase to a nocoiner as a tip. They install Zeus, they plug in their seed phrase, BAM they have $5 in Bitcoin, already in lightning, that they can spend.
This would not only be a massive help to onboarding new users, it would make Zeus the default app for it. Would love to see this feature and if a bounty was created for it, I would help fund that bounty.

GM NOSTR Tip for #orangepilling: Don't say the word #bitcoin or #crypto, many people have big negative reactions to those words. Say #lightning, people have no idea what lightning is. Tell people how lightning solves their problem, play to their preconceptions, lightning is fast, it's amazing, it's easy. Pretty soon they're like wow this idea is cool. Now that they think it's cool, you can mention that all this lightning stuff happens on Bitcoin, but because it's confronting an idea they already think (lightning sounds cool!), they get way less defensive and combative, and they are inclined to agree with it because otherwise they'd have to admit they were wrong about that lightning thing. You are using their own cognitive bias against them. I have been using this to great effect telling people about #nostr #grownostr

Nostr is pretty far along and already well committed to the whole "every user is not a relay" paradigm. Which is fine, it's probably "decentralized enough". One of the key pressure points coming up is going to be the cost of hosting media for relays and the tendency for relays to centralize a bit as the average relay hosting cost increases due to increased users and particularly increased media. If we integrate a P2P way to store and to distribute media now, we can avoid much of that.
For example, we have a NIP for associating a pubkey with a LNURL (lightning address). We can also have a NIP for defining a link to an "external media" which is downloaded via Freenet, Hyphanet, IPFS, etc. Let the client do the work of downloading and re-sharing media content while the relays are responsible for text and links to media. At least for Freenet, you talk to it via your web browser via a localhost port. So a nostr client can easily make links to, upload, and download through it without ever needing to leave the browser. The only thing that needs to be true for that to work is for the user to run the freenet client in the background. Unfortunately, they don't have a client for Android or iPhone, but proxy services (like currently used for media) can help with that. IPFS may be another route, I am less familiar with it.
If you're doing nostr dev, this could be something that I think would be on the easier side to implement. I'd gladly contribute to a bounties for it, this is something I'm passionate about.

If we assume x number of events per day on the network, the more relays, the fewer events each relay needs to store. Text events are tiny, you can fit all of wikipedia's text on a DVD. If we integrate with other P2P networks like #IPFS, #Freenet, #Hyphanet, etc for storage of media, then space isn't much of a concern. Tor isn't needed, NAT punching protocols exist and are mature, plus IPv6.
Think of it this way: Can your phone store all the text from all your social media posts? What about all of your 10 closest friends? Yes? Then this can scale.
But you don't need to take my word for it, look at existing P2P technologies which have been doing this kind of routing for years. There's no need to centralize around relays.

People complain that "not everybody will run a relay", well, why is that? Because the architecture of the network and the UX of the software doesn't automatically do it for them. Why is running a relay not automatic when running a client? It could be. Every client could be a relay.

Custodial? Strike
Non-custodial? Zeus

This compromise doesn't have to be made, P2P networks figured out much of this a decade ago. Look at #I2P, #Freenet #Hyphanet. I wish nostr would integrate some w these platforms, especially for media storage. They are more decentralized and more censorship resistant.

#asknostr I have #zeus wallet and I want to onboard other #zeus users. When we first setup their wallet, is there a way for me to open a lightning channel w them with a 50/50 liquidity ratio so they actually have some inbound liquidity to work with?

#asknostr What do you use for "personal knowledge management" ie to track notes, diary, car maintenance, and other things you need to remember that are not calendar events? Does it work well? If you've tried other systems, why do you like this one better than others?

I have heard Koinly is one of the best out there, keep in mind they do not support #strike if you use strike.

Middle-ground between mute/block and follow. I have a few people I follow who post *constantly*. I want to see some of their stuff, not all of their stuff, and in proportion to the other people I follow.

You don't though. Phones and laptops haven't gotten appreciably better in terms of capability in the past decade. The ghz is not making big strides, improvements are not giving us additional functionality or speed for most use cases. Most of time, the problem is the life of the battery, the cracked screen, or the dozen pieces of malware the user has downloaded onto the machine, or their Windows OS reaching end-of-life are the real reason for replacement. A 10 year old machine or phone can still easily handle what 90% of people use their computers or phones for (a zillion open tabs, some google sheets, their gmail page, etc).
