For those in need :
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Offline payments for Lightning Network.
I thought we decided long ago that we didn't much care for custodial solutions? Coming from you, that must be a joke.  In what manner? |

Offline payments for Lightning Network.
I thought we decided long ago that we didn't much care for custodial solutions? As I understand this is something more like a payment with a terrible lag on one of the intermediate hop, delaying final hop until destination node is online. Is that a this a definition of custodial? There are triggers for “failed” payments I guess. I don’t know, but we discussed it here. And as you correctly surmised right there: "It's not clear (to me, at least) if this solution is fully trustless." |

I thought we decided long ago that we didn't much care for custodial solutions? Anyone who uses a 3rd party wallet for anything is using a custodial solution. If you want to use bitcoin for micropayments, crossing paths with a "custodial solution" (or in this instance, more accurately a LN node) is an inevitability. The blockchain is too big for everyone to walk around with their own full nodes all the time. For everything else, there's SPV. (note: not a custodial solution) |

Next major upgrade I'm waiting for is the new Mac Pro.
Likewise. As soon as Pro Tools is qualified on macOS 10.15, I be pulling the trigger. (I'm assuming that will be after the new Mac Pro is shipping). Do you have to pay for the equivalent of windows kb updates in macOS? I've never used it, but I read somewhere you get charged for updates. Well, I don't know what 'windows kb updates' are, so I don't know. OS Patches? No charge. Next major OS rev? No charge. Next patch, minor, or major rev of bundled applications? No charge. Of course, the entry for the new Mac Pro is $6K. But their free updates policy runs throughout their product line. |

I am absolutely DREADING the day when I finally need to replace my 2015 Macbook Pro. It's still quite useful, but recently played a super sad trombone when I discovered it was not capable of driving a 4k Display @ 60hz. Hate the idea of that visual bar on the new lappies,
It grows on ya. I've come to find it quite useful. Next major upgrade I'm waiting for is the new Mac Pro.

Forgot that this production is way more easy on the ears via speakers, compared to headphones. Too much stereo/separation going on for me. Miss my good old mono/stereo switch like i had on almost any analog mixer that i have touched before.
https://spl.audio/studio/phonitor-2/?lang=en Or similar. Frequency dependent crossfeed in a headphone amp is no longer a particularly esoteric feature. |

So funny to see you here week after week, whingeing about the fact that BSV exists, begging for someone to put it to death. Pathetic. |

I believe what you said was: You forgot the bit where the big blockers try to fool newbies into thinking Bcash lol and BSV are Bitcoin.
Quite a different proposition than trying to fool newbies into thinking BCH or BSV are BTC. But nobody is doing that. That would be dishonest. How are the three near identical logos not trying to fool newbies into thinking BCH or BSV are BTC? I am unaware of any exchange that implements order entry through logos. Most seem to employ ticker symbols for this purpose. |

If one of the other Bitcoins does indeed capture more market cap than BTC in the future, will you concede that that other fork will indeed be Bitcoin? You cannot really believe that "the real bitcoin" is based on market cap, can you? ‘zackly. What else you got? I am sure that you heard of various network effects by now Indeed. And they are all predicated upon market cap, and the irrational hype that builds around market cap. What else ya got? So for reference, you can look at Trace Mayer's seven network effects for starters. https://twitter.com/tracemayer/status/934672438385954818?lang=enYup. Like I said. All dependent upon market cap. |

jbreher fork - Bitcoin JB (BRH) - the real Bitcoin, closer than ever to the original Bitcoin which is not Bitcoin anymore. LUL. If you have 1 BTC or 1 BCH or 1 BSV you get 1 BRH. If you have all three Bitcoinz, you get 3 BRH of course. Gawrshk. Nobody ever named a coin after me before. Go ahead and fork it. |

Oh hi Jbear. Hope you had a nice weekend. Seeing as you raised the topic, this is a great opportunity for you to answer the question instead of continuing to avoid it. Please do try to respond to the question rather than raising another question or going off on a tangent.   What is the difference between these two logos and how is not deliberately misleading / confusing to newbies ? You have said such a practice is dishonest. I have said no such thing. What I have said is that the other Bitcoin forks have as high a claim upon any branding as does the BTC fork. You ignorant sot. Now after misrepresenting my position yet again, how ‘bout you respond to my questions? |

I know that Lopp is CTO, but what does Meister have to do with anything related to Casa Hodl security issues? Are you talking about Adam Meister or some other Meister? Nope. Just Lopp. Just ‘meister’ in the generalized head honcho sense. (glancing about and whistling nonchalantly) Hey! Wasn’t Casa the developer of some bullet proof security protocol!? (glancing about and whistling nonchalantly) You still did not say who is Meister? And who fucking gives any shits if a company fucks up their security practices? To quote: “Just Lopp.” J. Rando company shitting the bed on security practices is not particularly noteworthy. When it is however a company that many in the BTC sphere look to for exemplary security templates to be implemented throughout the ecosystem, however, it might give one pause. |

Actually, now I manage to act with cool detachment. A little experience helps, of course, but this system has many soft levers, knobs and faders. The positions, as well as the P&L, evolve slowly over time, more so the more the positions are balanced. That's why I have time to think, calculate, project and act rationally rather than on emotion. The quiet satisfaction of bringing home 1% of my play stash, then 2%, then losing 1% and making up for it in the following 2 weeks doesn't compare to the adrenaline rush of a newfound lambo, of course, but it's good enough for me. And when maybe a couple months later I can stash away 10% or even 30%, I'm glad I found a viable "system" (of sorts) that works for me.
\ I almost hesitate to wade in here. But you’re an old comrade. You speak of ‘cool detachment’. And when the Korn is being sedate, that’s fine. But all experience hath shewn that a strategy build on sedateness will be a losing strategy when everything goes skyward. Which it does. |
