New TIDAL terms introduced P2P payments. Sounded like Bitcoin, might just be Paypal.
> Peer to Peer Payments. As part of the TIDAL Service, you may be allowed to send or receive payments directly with other users ("P2P Payments") through a third-party payment provider. All P2P Payments are processed by such third-party provider and are subject to their terms and policies. TIDAL is not responsible for the payment provider's services and disclaims all liability for issues with P2P Payments, which must be resolved directly with the payment provider. You may use P2P Payments only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms and our Content Guidelines. You may not use P2P Payments to engage in fraud, launder money, purchase prohibited content or services, artificially inflate engagement, or otherwise violate applicable law or our policies.

Neat, does it work in Turkey?

From the above phrasing I thought it would also translate notes. That'd be neat, although you'd have to figure out who pays for the translations, especially since newbies probably don't have sats. Maybe ads?

You won't know, you'll be routing sats. Independent of your Lightning implementation.

From the linked article: "Kagi Translate is free for everyone. If you’re not a logged in Kagi user, you’ll encounter a simple captcha to prevent automated abuse - a small step that helps us maintain quality while keeping the service free. Kagi members get direct access without captchas, integrating seamlessly with their existing workflow."

Am I the only one to often get issues with USB-C charging on my phone? Works like a charm for months, and someday it becomes harder and harder to use: the thing is plugged-in, but it seems even the slightest misplacement stops charging.
Is it that I'm pushing too hard on those when I plug them in?

By "deniability" you mean the defence that developers are not responsible for the usage of the software they produce?
I think it's a bit different here, since relays are running code, not writing it.

Bitcoin/Lightning service providers should 100% break ties with hostile jurisdictions and stop serving their citizens.
Protocols provide censorship resistance, not companies. If you live under a repressive regime, learn to use them.

At some point it seemed they would be a walled garden protecting their users from spam: you could only listen to events coming from paid relays, thus preventing spam because you would only see what other paying users broadcast. Could call it Nostr Blue 😅
But spam doesn't seem to be so much of an issue (yet?), and it is at least not worse here than on Twitter. What I'm wondering still is whether it improves reach, since there maybe users who mostly listen to paid relays.

Holding the physical book and seeing my name and short story printed on it is an awesome feeling, and what is even more awesome is to know there are 20 other stories I have yet to discover!
If you're into SciFi and into Bitcoin, you can buy the book on [Konensus' shop](https://bitcoinbook.shop/products/21-futures-tales-from-the-timechain?ref=fanis) (use the code FANIS for 10% off).

Is there a German world for the feeling you get when you're at home waiting for a delivery but you've got an errand to run and you feel in your guts the delivery man isn't going to show up today ; but at the same time you *know* that 5 minutes after you leave the delivery man will come knocking at the door?

The DiamondHands guys are in partnership with Boltz. They are using the Boltz codebase, but it's a completely distinct deployment AFAIK.
Also, Boltz isn't completely open source, but uses a Business Source License that will completely free the software in 2027. In the meantime, the software can't be used in production, unless with Boltz' agreement. Hence the partnership with DH.

You need funds available to create a transaction that spends from the anchor output and pays enough fees to get both this new transaction and the initial transaction (the one closing the channel) mined.
Your anchor output in the closing transaction spends to your funding pubkey, which is what makes it *yours*. Your node hence needs to take part in the fee-bumping transaction to actually spend the anchor output, since it's the only one able to spend it (while the transaction remains unconfirmed). The easiest way to do CPFP is hence to also have available funds on your node, which your node can add to the transaction spending the anchor to increase the overall fee.
The funds could come from an external wallet, but that means coordinating a transaction between your node and this external wallet. Additionally, having the extra-funds already on your node makes it possible to easily automate this fee-bumping process.

The speed of that thing is impressive. Notice how sometimes it has already guessed the order before Jordan is done speaking 🤯
And I guess I'll just pour myself another coffee!

The latest issue of [Latest Strikes](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-48-august-1st/) is out. It delves into some notable news that happened in the Lightning world last week:
- how a user took advantage of a bug in @npub1jfu…m0gx
- @npub1n0d…p427 becoming open source (thanks to investors not grasping how cool it is)
- the @npub1zhq…h0dw and @npub15kl…4m73 partnering to help activists worldwide integrate Lightning into their online presence
- many wallet news (mostly custodial ones: @npub1get…0nfm,@`blinkbtc`, Mash)
- looping out to an external xpub
- splicing merged into Core Lightning (cc @npub1jg5…6n8n 🚀)
- and the blueprint of real-word data gathering for endorsement-based reputation systems to help fight channel jamming.
As always, baked with 🧡 and ⚡️

This! I don't know what would be required to have zap.stream supported on restream.io, but I think that would be pretty good for growth.
Also, AFAIK Twitch ToS explicitly ban multistreaming.

Thanks! Now the only thing is this setup doesn't provide the full zap experience, but that's good enough I guess
