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.

My wife and I were just saying the same thing.
She was spending a few days in the hospital visiting someone and all the food items were the same processed junk.
She went for the hard boiled egg option thinking it couldn’t possibly be screwed up.
The yolk was so pale! Guess we are just spoiled with the farm fresh eggs.
Does make me sad for those who have kids in there waiting on transplants and that sort of thing.
My wife put it well “you’d think that if they really wanted people well they would focus on feeding them well.”
I truly believe the overwhelming majority of workers are authentically trying to help.
Education is part of the problem.
How to fix it?

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.
But as @npub1t0n…jgqv alluded to, there is a lot of visibility and lack of privacy on Phoenix’s end. They can see everything going on.

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 03:02:02 UTC

- 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 02:57:46 UTC

- 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.

So many factors depending on what you are looking for.
We just saw an 80 acre tract get divided into 4 parcels of 20, 2 of them open pasture. They went at auction for ~$150,000. I think the 20 acres with house and other buildings went for $250,000.

That is one of the great things about St. Louis. We have places for small scale homesteading less than an hour from the city. And even closer to the suburbs.

Absolutely. St. Louis city housing is a great start for many people.
Know several who started honing their gardening skills in south city.
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.

I would say impossible to live as a modern urbanite or suburbanite in America.
Travel 30 minutes outside St. Louis and the housing becomes “affordable”.
Raise chickens, have a small garden.
These are things that the modern ruling class have deemed to be peasant activities.
The introduction of the lawn is another example. “We are so rich that we don’t need to grow food in front of our house. Only peasants do that.”
Break these constructs and life becomes livable again.

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.

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.
