They probably think the github activity is completely sufficient source of a new information for the whole community.

Maybe it is? This isn't a price pumping project as I understand it.

This post is a quick proof reading and critique as per the request of OP.

It has no impact on the Bitcoin network.
Technically I mean if it reduces the total number of on chain transactions this is an impact on the bitcoin network. I understand what you mean but perhaps this sentence could be more clear. Something like "once a lightning channel has been established transactions within said channel do not impact the bitcoin blockchain". Or something like that. Not trying to write it for you, just explaining what I mean.

To start using the Lightning Network you have to use a compatible software.

To start using the Lightning Network you have to use a compatible software. Two people establish a payment channel by locking up funds in a multi-signature address which needs both signatures to spend from it. Payment channel can be used as long as both participants agree to cooperate. One can close the channel even if the other participant is offline but it won't happen instantly in that case.
I would change wording and the order a bit here.

To start using the Lightning Network you have to use a compatible software. Two people may establish a payment channel by locking up funds in a multi-signature address which needs both signatures to spend from it. This transaction is time locked so that the funds will be automatically dispersed in the event that one of the parties becomes uncooperative. Payment channel can be used as long as both participants agree to cooperate remain cooperative. One can close the channel even if the other participant is offline but it won't happen instantly in that case.


Great post. Thanks for being a continued asset to the community. +merit

"feels like he has to fake a personality for the job"
the exact reason why I always preferred laborer jobs to office jobs, not many understood among my family and friends.

when i was a laborer, i noticed no one faked anything, we were all just ourselves. once i graduated to office jobs, thats when i noticed the fakers.

 What a load of shit.  I was also a labourer and there were guys who "forgot their wallet" when it was their turn to bring the coffee which we all looked forward to on the colder days.  Then there were the guys who lost their license for a DUI and tried to hide it as long as they could while sponging rides from the others under the guise of card trouble, wife needs a car I'm getting a bike soon etc...  Jesus.  There was tons of false bravado and comparisons cars/bikes/tattoos and who slept with the most women.  People are people; it's just that the games get headier in an office environment where belching and farting aren't legitimate comebacks anymore.  Also, you'd probably get fired for whistling at each woman (or man) that happened by.  I couldn't afford to waste my hard-earned money on a Harley and tattoos so I was forced into the office for a while (tech stuff - mostly sealants and paint) and finally settled into a production plant environment where there are people of all types and we get diversity training so we can all get along.


edit: Almost forgot, I also worked as a farmhand on a fruit farm (pay was heavily gov't subsidized).  We weren't allowed to talk while pulling weeds and rocks from the field so head games were at an absolute minimum.  You got a couple of warnings for talking and then they just sent you home.


guess i was just lucky then. it was construction, we all pulled out weight and got along great, and partied a lot outside of work.

my office gigs however.. many backstabbers there.

I think it's a different kind of disingenuousness. Laborers are boastful, prone to exaggeration, the proverbial fish that gets bigger with each retelling. The lies are designed to elevate ones self. In the office the lies are designed to tear others down. Not all lies are created equal.

cute though, huh?

I meant for her work in the video.

By the way,

how is kovri doing?

Wasn't alpha software just recently released? We actually have a buildable functional kovri for the first time now as I understand it. Seems good.

It's very obvious for those who did both kind of jobs...

I don't know if roaches claim is true or not

You mean the calamari thing? You're kidding, right?

I think he said something about child trafficking being run but some Jews or something? I think it was something like that but I'm not going to go searching. Not sure, don't really care. I don't trust roach enough at this point to dig into some claim that he makes.

Jojo that was EXACTLY my face. I think I was in some pit of despair without consciously realizing it because green candles have never in my life surprised me as much as these.

I'm not even responsible enough to have a dog

Hey it's all just a choice. You may decide to be responsible some day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's true, money ruins people.  That's why I don't reproduce.  I'm only responsible for ruining myself.

Here is a book about how to not let your money ruin your children and future generations. In case you ever change your mind.

I wanna see $50,000 per coin & then I’ll never have to do another single days work EVER & nor will my kids if I have any.

Pleeeeaaasssseeeeee crypto God’s, make $50,000 per coin a reality.

Whether it be with you or your kids or their kids or their kids the money will eventually run out no matter how much it is, while the effects of the broken chain of work ethics could plague your lineage for all time. I'm trying to prepare my children to be future capitalists.

{hate speech} as per usual.
SPEECHLESS .. Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry SOBs..!!!!! and that was back on August 4th.. !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW  Angry Angry... Again, Speechless...

Quoting the roaches racists shit is a "ignorable" offense, FYI.

Using the left's weaponized language isn't much better.

Hah!, I don't even know what that is!

ADDED: Is that like the dark state or something?

I just don't read all that Q shit.

"hate speech"... it's a phrase cooked up by alinskyites to delegitimize and deplatform their political opponents without actually addressing the content of their message. It's like saying "conspiracy theorist" or "denier" instead of skeptic. It's politically weaponized language. I don't know if roaches claim is true or not, but if it is true than there certainly isn't anything wrong with speaking truth. Except for being off topic of course. So if you really wanted to attack it than you should attack it on the grounds of being either untrue, unimportant even if it were true, or off topic. Not on the grounds that it's "hate speech" which is basically saying "shouldn't be allowed because it makes me feel neggies" (coining that word right now, means like feeling negative emotions, but in a sarcastic making fun of snowflakes kinda way).

I'm not defending roach here. Just things like "hate speech" or "conspiracy theorist" are almost as annoying as euphemisms like "people of color" or "undocumented immigrant". Grinds my gears you know.

Anyway I don't want to go down a rabbit hole here in this thread so we should go elsewhere if anyone wants to pursue it further.

Kind of stuck at 6500. Weird.

Would be nicer to be stuck at 21,000 but that's just me.

Next time it goes to 7500 nobody will believe it. I mean NOBODY. Which is probably when it will finally be real and be the last time. Cheesy

If people are moving to SF to use the public toilets, there are probably bigger problems. 

Don't pretend like we are dealing with a binary here. No single rain drop is responsible for the flood. We both know you are too smart to subscribe to black and white thinking like that and you and I both know that there are plenty of toilets that these people could have used, or even a bush or a tree somewhere instead of right on the sidewalk.

The only reason people would act with that level of unaccountability is from a lifetime of conditioning of being insulated from the consequences of their actions. The more you insulate them from accountability the more unaccountable they will become. Every action of protecting them from the consequences of their decisions is another raindrop in that flood. Any kind of "free shit" falls into that category. Though I must admit free toilets is probably the most benign example I could come up with if I had to Cheesy.
77  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 19, 2018, 07:06:28 PM
As a leftie I would suggest maybe you need more public toilets in SF.

Why stop there ?

Why not just argue for more public housing ?

I don’t know much about public housing.  Public toilets are cheap and quick to build to address what seems to be an important public health issue.

Or maybe it's handouts to these dregs that are drawing them in. Your appraisal is tantamount to suggesting the leaving more cheese on the floor will help with a rat problem.

It’s worse to be a leftie than a homosexual on this forum so you got that going for you.

My anecdotal personal experience confirms this. I have never found bobs gay stuff quite as unpleasant as some of your leftie stuff.
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 19, 2018, 05:42:46 PM
No way that poop patrol will work...

Remember a while back when San Fransisco was famous for being a hotbed of homosexuality ?

Now it's becoming famous for being a hotbed of feces, and many centrist and right-leaning gays have fled the place entirely.

It took what ? All of a decade to transform into a literal shit-hole ?

Sad.


What percentage of gays would you say lean right? I only know you and one other so it's hard for me to gauge but I think it can't be more than 10%, probably less than 5%.

Sorry. I only thought that there was a better simplification than the term "given away" because there is nothing "given away" in the Lightning Network.

Telling people that it was like giving away something to a third party would give them the wrong idea.

Well the analogy was that they hold your bundle of cash that you have a string tied to and a lightning transaction is when you untie the string from the whole bundle and retie it on only part of the bundle. It's giving it to them in the sense that they are holding the bundle not that they are the owner of it. /shrug it's the best non technical analogy I can think of.
