This was such a cool read and by far my favorite piece from you, thank you for making it. I would love more incite from the hacker who tried to break bitcoin early on. I wonder at details of what he tried to do and how it didn't work. And I'd love more details on him thinking either a team or a genius defending the network. I want to know, too, where and how "attack removed" was posted.
Fascinating read!
This whole thing is really great I will be sharing to many! I felt for Bitcoiner A, we're similar haha.
Spark seems scary . . . it's so widely accepted and seems to gain traction day by day. The scary part is it's being thought of as bitcoin and one day, if millions are using "bitcoin" and transactions start to get doxed, censored, or trapped in KYC cages, it's a PR nightmare.
When the merchant goes to finalize the transaction they click checkout every time. Then they're given options to select cash or credit. Bitcoin is added to that list too. So if you're asking for the merchant to check if they do all you have to do is tell them it should be on the list after checkout.
This gives me an idea for a long term SN reporting project. A phone call or email to every business listed on BTC maps. Asking just a few questions like:
Do you accept bitcoin?
did you know you are hosted on BTC maps?
If no to question one, are you interested in accepting bitcoin?
Any question suggestions for this short survey?
It would be cool to compile long term results for this and start to develop some stats based on geographical locations
When you guys orange pill a coffee shop, do you go down the SoV route or the recieve Bitcoin and spend it on the business as a circular economy?
When orange pilling a small business in the farmers market or a coffee shop there's one huge advantage over the case your described here. Transaction fees. Most high volume low margin merchants light up when you tell them that accepting bitcoin is free and that fees are the burden of the sender. That's generally my shoe in. The rest comes later.
All you have to do is ask \ stacker news
All you have to do is ask - an update \ stacker news
In these two posts I answer all of your questions here :)
The if the merchant is using the square terminal to generate a lightning invoice then the sender may use any lightning wallet. They don't need to have cashapp themselves. If you want to pay with bitcoin, you'll have to ask of course. It's only awkward if you make it awkward however :)
Very cool! Is there a time frame you'd like us to adhere to? Or since this is a long going project, if it takes me until past May to post, I'll just be among the June posts? :o
Ill comparison because those numbers are directly proportional to money and effort going into marketing not because everyone is dying for seedless bitcoin custody. I won't go as far as saying this is an attack (yet) but surely you see the danger in thousands being unable to simply move their seed into some other open source option if need be? This to me seems like yet another way to cajole the masses into a pin that locks from the outside. It's dangerous.
Ok seems I copied and pasted the first youtube link during a commercial so that's Annoying and embarrassing.
There will be a ton of friction man. General awareness is very low and there will be many more disappointments than success stories like this one for some time. But trying is so important. We must try. If you think bitcoin really is a better monetary network than alternatives, then share your opinions to these merchants. Just finding a single one to start helps a lot.
