Wow, well done!

LNbits "v1.4 - DNI" released 🥳 This one's a biggie: * Major frontend overhaul ✅ * Significant backend performance improvements ✅ Named after @dni. LNbits would not be the project it is today without the contributions of this incredible developer. v1.4 is a MASSIVE achievement, thank you to all the contributors who made this possible 🙏 https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/releases/tag/v1.4.0

Representative democracy yes. Foss is an edomocracy/direct-democracy.

Fucking newbs. We are lucky coming from bitcoin, and understanding pitfalls of something that seemingly makes sense, such as a "foundation". I don't think there has ever been an open protocol that became hardened against centralising forces more than bitcoin. It's a unique experience that equips us well for building something like nostr.

When did the term "apolitical" become political? https://lobste.rs/s/xzxetz/polyproto_refreshingly_simple#c_zxp1iy

There's already a few nips in the works. is lead on nostriot

I couldn't agree more. Bitfest was a reboot of the sorts of events that first inspired me to work on bitcoin. No corp/political agendas, cliques or vip nonesense, just peers hanging and exchanging ideas.

It's all just so odd. Odder still how it managed to become status quo

It kinda comes from this. Having the stripe payments in the pos is useful as you can do things like sell bits to customers. That went through fine, however when someone bought "buy bitcoin" stamps from the webshop, stripe blacklisted us 🤣. Was first time I had to deal with "permissioned" system for a while, and it felt so odd. First time I zoomed out and look at just how backward flatland is for years. Thank God I live in bitcoinland where things make sense.

Thank youuuu for your contributions sir 🫡

Fuck all banks. No trusted third parties!
