So the magic of the Roadflare app is that you actually just add drivers you already have had a good experience with. So say you're doing Uber or Lyft and you like the driver, you like his car, you can tell him, hey, download the Roadflare app and I'll add you. And you scan his QR code and then you can request rides directly from him. I'm trying not to make this a driver pushed experience, but more the rider curating their own Network of drivers that they like and the drivers are incentivized to use it because they'll make a hundred percent of the fare if they take that ride.

the actual app state right now is much simpler looking. These are mockups I made tonight of where I might take it going forward. there is much to do!

hey just FYI there are a lot of us running BIP-110 who aren't picking fights with everyone. It can still be the logical move forward even if you don't wanna run knots or associate with knots.

Would you be running a URSF if it existed and why?
Where do you stand on this stuff? From your comments right here, it seems like OPIF is the reason why you might be against it. What functionality makes OP_IF important to you if you are anti-BIP 110?

Did you watch the video?
Riders build out their own network bottom up. If they don't have a driver available when they put out the batsignal they just keep riding uber and lyft and can add more reliable drivers to their own network later.

The whole thing is vibe coded, but I've tried to triple check everything I implement and I run agents to document every change. I especially try and analyze exactly what the nostr events are broadcasting and making sure users have easy tools to clean up metadata in the app's account safety screen. I'm doing my best with the tools at hand 😁

AND... they would pay more if they need a private mempool to do it. disincentives. You can run circles around this all day, but the reason we're gonna go 1000x on OPreturn spam in the next few weeks, is solely because of Bitcoin Core choosing "bitcoin is a database" as the hill to die on.

Plenty of privacy conscious bitcoiners around. But where are the tools? When samourai went down, was surprised to see all the wallets run for the hills instead of finishing the decentralized coordinator

2024-12-30 04:25:35 UTC

The reason devs want to add CTV, op cat, and other unessential changes Bitcoin is because they really don't understand the mantra: "if it aint broke, don't fix it"
They will tweak their Linux setup 500 times like a masocist for fun, before just wiping the whole thing and starting again.
We probably shouldn't change bitcoin again anytime soon imo

I'm never shilling a fucking wallet again. Everyone I've onboarded has had to migrate like three times 😭😂
Zeus and Alby Hub are the only hopes RN.
Zeus needs to get way easier for normies and less error prone.
Alby Hub seems right over the target for making an easy to run lightning node for all platforms, but will be beholden to the same issues as mutiny if they ever decide to shut it down, LN address and 'account wise'.
Phoenix needs to open up their app to selfhost the LSP and launch in USA again.
At the end of the day though, I think the only people who won't get rugged are us node runners. My raspberry pi that everyone shits on has run a successful and reliable node since 2019. RUN YOUR OWN NODES

This picture below is me in 2017, the night before Trump's Inauguration, at the "Deploraball" in DC

I voted for him in 2016 to Drain the Swamp and because he was the Anti-War candidate. I voted for him in 2020, begrudgingly, because I thought there wasn't a better candidate. I watched on Election night and went to sleep with him clearly winning, and woke up to "two more weeks to count votes", because it was rigged. I didn't care too much because i had bitcoin at this point.
I had pretty much sworn off politics at this point. I wasn't going to vote this year because I thought long and hard about why I should never support Papi "Warp Speed", the vaccine salesman again after I was fired for not taking his favorite product in 2021.
Trump got shot and it did honestly bring up some past feelings for the guy, but after this abysmal speech at Bitcoin 2024, I'm truly appalled by how far he has fallen.
I'm not voting for Epstein's Banker or BlackRock's CEO as a Treasury Secretary. I'm not voting for David Bailey's "Crypto Committee" or the Bitcoin "Industry" that was behind this REALLY retarded speech.
Trump was a candidate of policy in 2016. He's now a bumbling, pandering, name-dropping politician like all the rest. He has no plan and no cohesion.
If i'm voting, it will be for a Bitcoiner.

It's based off of payment method, and how much you use strike. Because I've been a daily strike user for years and I'm connected through plaid, ACH has instant send for me, because they know im good for the money. But if I was a new user, they limit it based on when you can't charge back anymore, aka real settlement times. You can change the deposit method to a wire transfer if you want instant settlement as a new user
