I've had propane regulator issues before too. Apparently if you open the propane tank valve too quickly, it'll trip an internal safety that limits the flow. Quick fix is to just disconnect, reconnect, and open slowly.

I'm not trying to defend Saylor with this question....
But, what he's calling yield on Bitcoin isn't really yield on Bitcoin. Right?
I mean, to generate a Bitcoin yield you need to lend your Bitcoin to someone who pays you for that lend. No?
He's just taking on more debt through MicroStrategy in order to buy more Bitcoin, and calling the rise in price of Bitcoin a yield, instead of an unrealized USD profit.

If you're at risk of getting debanked you may as well have a Bitcoin exchange account that allows Bill payments. Even if you never use it.

There are exchanges that will do Bill-payments for you. In Canada BullBitcoin has a massive list of payees. Billing company receives payment however they want, you pay in Bitcoin.

I imagine the members of this band are Bitcoiners and in NOSTR. If not, they should be with lyrics like this...
Great beat too
Band: Sweatshop Union
Song: Don't be afraid
https://youtu.be/HzLr9k0JAWY?si=XaFZ8TuRn3iYENfs
"Don't be afraid
It's all make believe any way
Ya we can leave any day
Keep the faith
Despite what you hear people say
Because the fears keep us chained
Don't be afraid
It's all make believe any way
Ya we can leave any day
Keep the faith
Despite what you hear people say
Because the fears keep us chained
The fear keep us chained (chained chained chained)… but don't be afraid"
"Know enough to know we don't know enough so hold up
Don't let lies control us, fuck no
With every day another page is turned
Another way to earn your wages on your patient (hurr?)
Every place we go is state affirmed
Speak the truth as we know it to whomever it may concern

Remember when (less than 4 months ago) the US ETF's launched and Bitcoin dropped from ~$46k to sub $40k.
Now HK ETF's launch and we drop from ~$64k to at current $60k.

You're missing my main question. I'm not looking to do anything sketchy like private sales or cash deals. I know about non KYC Bitcoin and markets with peer to peer meet ups. Not interested.
If I needed to sell now I'd go through an exchange and report the transaction.
I'm looking for legitimate ways to sell Bitcoin in the future. Maybe a tax loophole. Does anybody run it through a corporation somehow? Friend or family overseas and then back in dollars? 🤷🤷
People avoid tax in fiat world all the time. Surely someone smarter than me has figured out how to do it legally with Bitcoin self custody.
Or not. Maybe one day.

2024-03-12 00:12:42 GMT

The private transaction bit though... You then either live off the cash or have a traceable transaction going in to your bank account. Enough of those would raise questions.
I guess cash can work, but only to a point. Recent example, new tires on a truck for $1500. Not very many businesses are going to accept cash for that.
I'm not at a point where I need or want to sell BTC, but for sure someday I will.

2024-03-10 04:09:42 GMT

How do you opt out of the capital gains tax when selling Bitcoin?
Even using a bill (credit card) payment service I'd imagine might catch up one day. Bull Bitcoin in Canada as example I'm sure reports client transactions even if bill payment style.
I'm not huge fan of using robosats style services.

In every industry there a people in powerful positions that talk confidently about a topic or thing they know nothing about. So few are willing to say they don't know enough to comment.
On that note, you'd do very well to learn about Bitcoin yourself so that you can confidently siphon through the misleading commentary.

Aqua wallet seems to work as smoothly as everyone said it would.
Moved some BTC on chain from Green to Aqua wallet. Also converted and moved L-BTC with no issue.
Lightning payments from Phoenix to Aqua went through quickly.... Somehow using Liquid to do this. I'm not techy enough to understand the back end of that. But, it works.
Will use.

Can you explain for the commoner... How does this happen? Doesn't one side have to close the channel? Is receiving party just closing the channel because they didn't fund it?

Grow things that can be can canned or stored through winter. Carrots and potatoes are easy. Freeze berries from forest or your own raspberry/strawberry patch. Learn to hunt deer for sausage etc.
Insane how big your garden and work load would have to be to support yourself even just 20% of needs through the year.
If you like doing anything else with your life, probably better off just to support your local growers and butchers honestly.
It's nice to have your own small garden for cooking fresh meals or salads, but think of it as a hobby.
Wife and I moved out of city into fairly remote mountain area 4 years ago with intention of having big garden and chickens. It's nice to have the option (space) of falling back on more self sufficiency if needed. But shit, we like playing in the mountains and on the water too much to bother growing and caring for our own food.
We keep it very small, no animals, and otherwise try to buy from actual farmers.

Phoenix wallet seems to me like the best middle ground. They have automated channel management so *I think* that eliminates some risk that managing your own node might pose.
You still secure your own keys, still have to pay to open channels etc.
There is also a new feature called 'add liquidity' that let's you pay a certain percentage fee of transactions, but you're guaranteed to have a large enough channel available.

I had a similar thought yesterday as I was trying to withdraw BTC over Lightning from bullbitcoin to Phoenix wallet. I would have thought a sizeable exchange to a well known wallet could find a path. No go.
I tried using liquid through Green wallet in early 2022 but didn't really understand why it had a use. My mind has changed. Literally just ordered a Jade and plan to learn more there.
Custodial lightning with WOS was so easy.
Anyway, thanks for all your hard work in this space and sorry to hear your previous project was shut down. All the best with your next endeavour.

BTC Sessions on YouTube has a very thorough walkthrough of the cryptocloaks build.
I didn't use the cryptocloaks case though. Just the fans from Amazon and I built a wood case.
The pool it goes through is Braiins, which also has a BraiinsOS+ operating system. Through that you can control the wattage and fan speeds.
Very happy with it, and pool rewards offset about an avg of 30% of electric bill at $0.14/KWh and $50k BTC... Canada $$

Interesting. I heat a bathroom with a modified S9, with Braiins pool.
Braiins dashboard gives me a few options to tune the miner and fan speeds.
I'd imagine that's probably possible with Ocean as well. Yeah?

I'm a very light user of the lightning network so don't really have an issue with custodial services.
I did however just move from WoS to Zeus with a GetAlby host. Pretty slick.
Maybe one day I go with a full private lightning node, but not yet.

Hoping you might answer this question for me on how chain analysis calculates which coins are old or new on a given wallet.
Ex.
If I have a wallet with 10 BTC that was funded over 5 years with 100's of utxo's. Never more than 1 BTC in one spend from exchange.
Then I send 2 BTC.... How does it pull from that list of utxo's?
Most recent? Leaving the five year old 'coins' to be registered as unmoved?
I realize a hardware wallet most likely has multiple wallets its keys access. Just simplifying the example a bit.
