Channel management idea:
Say I have a stand at a farmers market. I use my new Bolt 12 address to accept small payments for eggs, baked goods, and jellies all over lightning.
But if someone wants to buy half a cow, they might want to pay on-chain.
Could I give them an on-chain invoice that is actually a splice to add capacity to my lightning channel?
If I have a bill due to one of my suppliers that is approximately the value of half a cow, could I splice the payment into their side of our lightning channel?
It would seem this would have privacy gains similar to coinjoin while also helping with my channel capacity management.

With Phoenix, you weren’t actually opening a channel with an outside node.
Your channel(s) were between Phoenix’s central node and a “virtual node” for you.
Then they could open outbound channels to a bunch of other nodes. This simple aspect removes a lot of friction for the user.

To clarify, the mixing changes are for when adding in the sharper ingredients. And that is physically sharp, not taste.
Especially on doughs hat don’t have the sharp grains added, consider windowpaning or sometimes called the window pane test to check your gluten development while kneading.

2024-06-21 05:02:02

- reply

I am seeing several responses suggesting to add wheat gluten.
The gluten content in the dough isn’t directly what makes the bread fluffy.
The gluten strands are what keep the cell structure of the bread together. So if the gluten is “strong” it will hold the cell structure while the dough is rising and that will give it the fluffiness when it bakes.
So yes, more gluten would do it, but also working with the gluten you have and not damaging it helps.

2024-06-21 04:57:46

- reply

Part of the trouble you all are experiencing is that the “bran” or “whole grain” aspects are cutting the gluten strands while mixing.
When you are using that combination, try mixing at a slower speed or for shorter time do it is gentler on the dough.
If you are adding whole grains as one ingredient, try waiting to add them till after the start of mixing. This will give them less time to cut the gluten.
This also applies to adding sprouted grains. Soaking the grains longer (waiting the full 24 hours and not cutting the soak short) will soften them so they aren’t as harsh on the flour.

Absolutely. St. Louis city housing is a great start for many people.

Then as they continue to pay down a mortgage and start their family, they have to decide. Stay in the city where they are outgrowing the house, move to the suburbs where they can’t afford to live, or move 30 minutes out to something they can afford and space for the bigger garden with room to grow.

Finally finished the pig waterer and platform.
The pigs can use the hog nipples that fit through the fence. The pipe is mounted to a wooden post buried 3 feet into the ground. The pipe connects to a hose fed from the water filled blue barrel atop the platform.
There is a temporary hose for filling he barrel, but that will be adapted so it can be filled from the ground.
At their current size, the water barrel will last 4-5 days before it needs a refill.

Been rolling around the idea for a while wondering what will happen to property “values” when this is realized in the market.
My expectation is that productive land will retain value over anything that is speculative only.
Meaning that if the farmland can produce or the apartment has tenants, it will retain some value. But the land that is currently being held only as a store of value will plummet.
This will open the opportunity to do actual cost analysis determining the cost and productivity of the land. Stripping away the grotesque land “valuation” of our fiat economy.
This analysis can be done in whatever units you would prefer, sats, dollars, gold, anything. Personally, I expect it will be measured in the units of production. The grazing land is worth 6 cattle per year for this size parcel. The bakery is worth this many loaves of bread. The stained glass workshop is worth this many windows.

I think there is a name for that heuristic/bias in psychology but the name escapes me now.
There could be equal numbers but there is a skew in the availability and visibility.
Men are typically less keenly aware of the inherent desire for a familial bond and relationships.
Additionally, women are in the unfortunate circumstance that many single men have fallen victim/sucked in to the video game or other pastimes. Or similarly with dedicating time to their careers.
These factors combine to the unfortunate circumstance where men will make a passing comment to their buds that they don’t have anyone, and wouldn’t it be nice, and all that. But steps are not taken to actually meet your group of women.
So unfortunately, there could be equal numbers of men and women “on the market”, but there will be a disproportionately large number of women that show up to the dating scene.

The New Polity guys have some good points, but I think they miss the mark when it comes to investing.
Been a while since I listened to that episode; but if I remember correctly, their arguments were grotesquely misunderstanding dividend payments. The shipping industry as an example regularly pays out dividends based on the profitability of the company in a given quarter.
Regarding Bitcoin and speculation in general,
If the entire action consists of buying low with the hope that the price will be higher later, sure, that would be purely speculative for monetary gain.
Yet in many industries futures contracts and thus speculation provide an important function.
A cattle rancher could have a large fluctuation in the sale price of the finished cattle and this fluctuation could make it nearly impossible to plan future production numbers.
Herein lies the value of speculation and futures markets. An “investor” can agree to lock in a price for the rancher, taking on the price volatility and risk, with the hope of being rewarded with a higher price in the future. The same can be said for the grocery store or meat market buying at a set price before the actual market price becomes known.
None of these individual steps are immoral, and each provides a valuable market driver which facilitates commerce at large.
For Bitcoin specifically, certain hodlers could similarly be said to be taking on the risk and price volatility in hope of future gains.
In that light, the New Polity guys’ argument that risk must be taken on to justify gains is still relevant and would thus make Bitcoin speculation itself moral.
I would push beyond that argument and harken to the earlier comments about the soundness of money and the value that brings to society.
By hodling in parallel with fostering a Bitcoin circular enonomy, one can easily see the advantages of promoting sound money and having the commerce needed to support Bitcoin as this sound money and currency.

The largest was the corporate or big miner. Easily found and targetable by government and competitors. Large physicals building with major power draw. Specialty buildings with dedicated power, rack space, much of the infrastructure is special purpose. Very difficult to move. If trying to change jurisdictions, it takes months or years to build a new facility and the appropriate utility upgrades.
The smallest are the home or solo miners. Extremely agile. Very difficult to stop or even find. Could run off a generator in a garage. If there is regulatory crackdown or seizure, these miners can be tossed in the backseat and moved across the country with almost no effort. No special power hookups, these miners can be back online almost instantly. The cypherpunks will keep this class going regardless of the expense or other cost.
Mustangs were the middle, maybe a shipping container or two. At most a small building, but that would be pushing it.
Big enough to have a noticeable impact when considered as a group. Small enough to be individually relocated. Often able to mine on stranded energy. Small enough that they would be difficult for regulators to find. The backbone of anti-censorship. This class could possibly exist in larger numbers in hostile environments. Simple to transport the container to an old factory or somewhere with commercial or industrial power, hook it up, and successfully back online. This class can be abundant enough that if one is targeted, the others will continue without impact to the system at large.

Have you heard the analogy of the three classifications of miners?
The mustang miner being the midsize.
Don’t recall who put forth the idea.
I think each segment needs to be thought of separately with its own centralization risks.
Personally, I believe we will have very large corporate miners making up a large portion of hash and they will comply with all regulations and sanctions. They will have access to cheap power, possibly their own nuclear generation, and massive data centers to house it all.
But there will also be small miners geographically distributed who are willing to mine the sanctioned transactions and thus they will get higher fees and thus are able to remain competitive.
