It's great news because last time I asked a few months ago it seemed that it didn't exist yet.

I understand why purists may have something to say, but IMHO custodial LN wallets do make even much more sense than regular custodial wallets. I have not much of a problem in letting a third party the custody of my small change and use them for convenience. It is the whole of my stash what I want to directly control and custody. <- Notice how this is the complete opposite of how the current banking system + cash works.

Of course LN neutrino would be a great offering for the ones who would prefer that intermediate solution.

This is looking very good.

Wow, yeah! That looks exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks!

Anyone knows if there is already any service of "proxy" online LN wallet?

I mean, something that would work like this:

- I send, for example, 0.1BTC to their wallet (my deposit address) same as I do with an exchange.

- Now I have a 0.1BTC balance with them (not your keys, not your BTC... I know)

- Then, the service would let me send LN payments which they would route via their LN node and already established channels on my behalf and substract the amount (plus a fee, presumably) from my balance.

- A plus would also be the possibility of creating LN invoices and receiving payments in the same way above and an easy to use mobile phone APP.

Anyone?

Wonderful, aint't it?

Again, this is none of your business. I will wait for an answer from the master of hats which is the only thing I care.

It is. For a reason. Welcome aboard.

Fuck off JJG, this is none of your business! We are discussing serious things here!

Sheeeeit.

I made it transparent background as soon as you generously gifted me mine. I kindly and respectfully ask for retroactive recognition of my, otherwise, insignificant modification as an XhomerX certified original. Please!

r0ach and jbreher would approve this (surely intentional) shitpost.

I have never wore a sig.... But I understand people that do... more so if they are actual useful contributors and not just sig spammers. I might even consider it in the future if needed the money or whatever.

That being said, this thread is sig free. Win-Win.

Long time ago (15 years ago?) I was dating a (very) rich Venezuelan girl for a brief period of time. The situation was already bad enough that most rich people had flown away, sold their businesses to global corps and bought properties in Manhattan, Monaco, Madrid, etc.... For their homes in Caracas they had almost an army of privately hired (payment shared between several families/communities) security personnel with auto weapons. They knew the government of Chaves was unable and not going to protect them against robbers, hijackers, etc... more so as they were opposed to him. it was very frequent to hear the fire of weapons in the night.

Most of them are well established now out of their originating country, probably to never come back... unless things change.

And I am talking 15 years ago! Can't even dare to imagine what kind of shithole of a country it has become now. You really don't want to go there, much less if you have any money. Really. Completely forget about it.

Don't want to be an asshole, more so when it doesn't really bothers me... but please take in mind that it could be considered some sort of rule evasion. Sigs are not visible in this thread for a reason (probably in exchange of our generous and more relaxed special posting rules, such as multiposting). Maybe you should ask theymos for permission/clarification?


P.S.: In a completely unrelated topic: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARRI!

It could also happen that one day you wake up and not only LN is being widely used as a cache for (most) of small tx's but Bitcoin has doubled it's blocksize (something that should happen sometime in the future) and BSV proofs to have only been a failed experiment.

Yes, I am and have always been in favour of a moderate and reasonable gradual block size increase. I was in favour of Segwit2X IF it had had enough consensus. First things first, and that was Segwit and LN. Now any time they decide to double (only double for now) the blocksize would be welcome.

I am sure you are well hedged against that scenario and will do fine no matter what.

My "long" since 2013 is doing great, thanks!

If you are talking about my short term trading/scalping, I sold some at $3989 and $4089 and rebought some at 3766 and 3711. But those are almost insignificant quantities I play to keep me fit for the game. (The orders were setup and left standing months ago, I did not do anything.. except the 3711 buy)

But that's completely wrong, you are changing the Bitcoin logo there.

NO, it isn't yet.

But that depends on how big your order is. Nowadays I just play with multiple fraction of a BTC orders, so no slippage for me.

Stop losses always have had an ugly outcome. That's why I never use them.

$70 spread? Maybe I should go there for my scalping. I could make a living out of that if real. How much are the fees for market makers (limit orders not big volume)?

Your opinion has been carefully noted. Thanks for participating. We will call you next year if you are right.

In the meantime maybe learn something about resistances and supports.

P.S.: A little hint to enlighten you:

My "capitulation" post was truly honest and a fair representation of what I was feeling at the time. Of course, even then, I was hoping to be wrong (in fact I state exactly that in the post). After that, we have had some "fresh air" in the form of a nice price growth but, even if sometimes my level of hope raises, I still fear the worst and know there's no reason to think we are out of the bear market. Yesterday events prove my fears are not unjustified.

So no, I am not trolling, even if I am being INTENTIONALLY cautious in trying not to be carried out by the joy (FOMO?) when a pump comes. As I said, we are absolutely NOT out of the woods, so my "capitulation" status will remain until further notice.

Let's be clear (again) that I am HODLING. As always since when I started in 2013 (with small amounts back then, unfortunately).

Let's also make very clear that I have never been a bear market buyer, so DYOR/YMMV. Neither a FOMO'er (except when an ATH has JUST broken). I buy when I sense a bear market is over and stop doing it (with "fresh" deposits) when I think things are getting (way) out of hand. The rest of the time I just let it run as a happy hodler... besides some volatility scalping here and there.

P.S.: I have updated my profile to make it more clear. I have finally found an use for that feature lol
