Guess, or guess correctly? My guess is Michal Šenk

I grew up on UIKit so SwiftUI is like an alien language, but really I’m more of a background thread engineer than a main thread engineer.

The feature of the #ColdCard Mk3 (& Mk4) that I respected most was the scramble the numbers. We can’t have my 1111-1111 pin wearing out the 1 key, right? I just received my #ColdCardQ & immediately turned on “Scramble Keys” under Login Settings. Unfortunately I found the UX for decoding the number translation difficult to use. 1. It wasn’t immediately obvious that if I want the top number, I type the bottom number, but ok I’m trained now. It is still more difficult to use than the Mk4. 2. I know which number I want, but the top row is in a random order so I must scan the row of 10 numbers before every key press. Maybe it is the same with the Mk4 but somehow it feels more difficult. I think it is because the numbers I know/want aren’t sorted numerically, but it could be because the data is laid out 10 wide rather than 3x3+1

I received my #ColdCardQ & started using it right away. Unsolicited constructive feedback @NVK Before I give out an address to receive, I always view it on the device. I give points for trying to improve the UX of address display by splitting the letters up into chunks of 4 but for me it makes life harder. Could you add a setting to display all in one string? Want to really leverage the platform you’ve built? Show me the full address, and let me type letters and highlight the places where the string I typed matches (or doesn’t) the address you’re showing me. Here’s the use: I temporarily memorize some sequence of letters near the middle/end. I type on the keyboard & the Q highlights them so I can quickly verify that the chunk is in the address. (Show a warning if the substring isn’t found)

I’m no SwiftUI fan, but I’ll follow someone who asks that question.

Formula for KYC-free Bitcoin 1. Buy Bitcoin on KYC exchange 2. Transfer to self custody 3. Transfer to another address shortly afterward 4. Report on your taxes that you sold the Bitcoin For the extra spicy ppl in the crowd: 5. If the price went down between 1 & 3, report a loss and take the write off. If the govt ever comes to you asking about that Bitcoin, you point to your taxes saying that you sold it shortly after you bought it. If they ask where the money went t, say you paid someone for work they did.

Honest question about Lighting Network: If I’m a net saver, where is the channel liquidity going to come from? Say I’m being paid in BTC over LN, is the employer is going to keep splicing-in my weekly wages? What if they have dozens of employees? Are they doing splice tx for each employee’s channel every payday? Are these FAQ where I should just RTFM? Where is TFM?

You’re at your regular supermarket, in the egg aisle. A young man wearing an overnight-camping-style backpack walks past you toward the back of the store carrying only a handle of Jameson (1.75l). He turns to look over his shoulder, perhaps to see who is watching. You strongly suspect shoplifting is afoot. What do you do? - nothing - mention it to a store employee Does your answer change if the item he was carrying is more of a food staple? (Eggs, bread)

For me looking at the fees included in the past 2~3 blocks gives a pretty good approximation of how much to pay for block space, so I still value mempool.space despite “the mempool” being defined differently by each node.

Venmo is down? Bitcoin is up!

Thank you I’m very glad you’re back in the USA 🍺
