Time to spec out a new home "server" to run docker containers for home node, but also thinking can do media server / AI engine running Linux with hot swappable drives. Would prefer AMD over Intel. Thinking ATX or Mini-ATX, hi-fi stackable. Any recommendations?https://m.primal.net/LsSX.png

- Use it yourself with the businesses you may be involved with**
- Buy local (as apposed to multinational corps) where possible and ask if they accept Bitcoin - but expect them to say no - purpose is just to show them demand. Smaller owner/operator businesses who feel the pain of inflation will take more interest (e.g. taxi drivers).
** If you want to orange pill your place of work (and you are not a director) be prepared for a long slog of looking for the opportunity. To be honest it’s probably easier to join a Bitcoin first business although satisfying when you make some inroads :-)
To be honest, in the west there is still not enough “pain” yet and people seem happy to pay tax by inflation 🤷‍♀️
Purple-pilling, is even harder though! People care even less about being “uncancellable” (proper word for that?!).

Yeah, meant to have more screws (security hex head), but idea is it would be on a counter top / wall of a shop or alike. Eventually we’d like the backbox to be metal with facia secured with flat coach bolts.

Because I didn’t know origin of that term and others may also find interesting:
The phrase **"tomfoolery"** originates from the term "Tom Fool," which was used in medieval England to describe a foolish or silly person. "Tom" was a common generic name used to refer to an ordinary or everyman figure, similar to how "John Doe" is used today. Over time, "Tom Fool" became a stock character in plays and folklore, representing someone who acted recklessly or foolishly.
By the 17th century, "Tomfoolery" evolved from this character, and it started to refer to foolish behavior or silly antics more generally. The word continues to be used to describe light-hearted or nonsensical behavior.

Your right, it wasn’t a useful response.
My badly made point was that LNbits is just a client to post market place products to relays. I’m sure other clients will come along that do it (I hope so) - if not already. No reason a simple mobile app can’t post marketplace products for example.
Not sure if there are any NIPs out there for onchain (or otherwise), and I haven’t heard of a client that supports anything other than Lightning. Maybe when marketplaces become more prevalent it would be a good use case for Monero.

Productive week last week. Built a Microsoft Copilot (AI agent) that can send zaps to colleagues and other copilots. And a React web app that goes into Microsoft Teams to see a feed of zaps colleagues have sent to each other, a leaderboard of zaps, a rewards carousel, and started the extension to fund an allowance of Sats to staff wallets.
Next week I hope to complete the FOSSA ATM with @npub1a8j…5pj4 to take to Ireland to allow staff to top up their Lightning wallets.
