I'd like to #asknostr for any good podcast recommendations? I find myself blowing through 5+ hours a day easy and Im starting to value the ones I do subscribe to less, so I am running low on good content.
Im pretty tired of politics/news podcasts, but they are the ones that have the most frequent daily content. Bitcoin shows are also generally getting stale, but I curate those based on the guests/topic now more than anything now.
I love audiobooks (a nice collection on a home server), but my programming/working brain does prefer digesting conversational talking as opposed to 20+ hour complex/jumping narratives.
Anything good with lots of volume/hours? If the content is evergreen, I'd be fine to go down an old catalogue of content.

I am tired of everyone being ok with the practice of adding the suffix "-gate" to every political controversy.
It is all so tiresome. Many such cases.

I’ve been happy with the Avalon three I got about a year ago. It’s pretty simple, comes with preset power/Hash rate options. The one I have has stopped mining a few times, but a quick unplug and replug got it back on track. I would’ve only known to do that though, if I hadn’t been watching my hashrate. It’s probably the one I would trust the most to give to somebody less technical.

After some preliminary research, it would need to use many C bindings to run in a usable state, so it would essentially just be python orchestrating the same C libraries used in Core, but I’ll look into it more this weekend. Might be slower and less secure, but I’d benefit from the process to learn and Python is much more high level, so it could be a great intro into how the node works for anyone - even if it’s not the fastest or more secure implementation.

2025-03-13 22:12:14

I have an itch to write a bitcoin node implementation in python.
Would be a great learning opportunity, even if it’s impractical.

I like the XMR guys.
They mostly agree that crypto is dumb, they want to maximize freedom, and they also ditched fiat currency.
I like the moral conviction about privacy and I think the pressure has done a lot to help develop better BTC privacy tools.
Without them I couldn’t have turned my idle CPU cycle into BTC by selling XMR hashrate to stack more data these past years.
I also like being richer than my friends, so that’s also a plus.
XMR guys are friends.

It’s a guest room at my mother in law’s house, but the room is always closed and out of the way.
ALL of the pillows are throw pillows, and I have the throw most on the floor to sleep. I guess it looks good most of the time, but no one is looking at them except when they are about to sleep there.
She’s a cute lady and likes things to look nice but there is very little practicality to the bed haha

2024-12-23 04:20:30

I will never understand the female urge to have a set of pillows on the guest bed that only serve an aesthetic purpose and are objectively uncomfortable

It looks like there are plenty of existing integrations for certain pre-built websites (wordpress, etc.)
https://docs.btcpayserver.org/integrations/
BTCPay Server is self-hosted so you manage the liquidity, host the server, and manage stores/profiles.
I think there are third-party products that will integrate more cleanly for a POC and still cut costs + introduce bitcoin would be something like https://opennode.com/pricing/
They take 1% fees on onchain and they say "none" for lightning. Im sure a for-profit company's product would be easier to integrate for a POC though since they are incentivised to make it easy. It may be as simple as signing up and copying a code snippet to put into the JS extension/custom code field on the website builder
