If anyone wants a chance to win an NVIDIA Spark, there's a giveaway going on right now for physical and virtual GTC attendants. (Virtual attendance is free.)
Here's how you do it.
Step 1. Create a NVIDIA GTC account. Select virtual so you get charged $0. (No credit card required.)
https://register.nvidia.com/flow/nvidia/gtc26/reg/form/vcontactinfo
Step 2. Attend a GTC virtual event. Look at the event schedule calendar to find something interesting. It must be an event marked as, "virtual." Take a selfie of you watching the livestream to prove that you were attending. Take note of the event Name and Session Number.
Step 3. Fill out the entry form. Be sure to include your attendance selfie as proof.
Step 4. Cross your fingers!
I'm hoping a Bitcoiner wins and is able to build cool shit with it.

13 YEARS AGO TODAY: Cyprus bail-in plan announced
On 16 March 2013, the Cyprus bail-in plan was announced. Depositors lost an estimated 8 billion € in savings. The move marked the first time the Eurozone directly taxed bank depositors' savings to fund a financial bailout.

Crazy but bears say bitcoin has no use case
Of course it has no use case to them: no way imma give anyone my sats to bail out some banksters.
catching up around here today. I've missed such a long time they started a freakin new war...
Grading writing assignments today.
I can't think of a dumber use of time.
But it's a bureaucratic requirement. I'd get rid of writing assignments in my class altogether if I could.
First time I came across a student writing "chatgbt", I thought it was just that one person
then I came across it again, and again.
Are there really people out there who read so little that they haven't seen it spelled? and just going off their hearing mishear it as GBT?
at least I know the chatgbt folks aren't using ai to write their assignment
can't you assign in-class, timed writing responses instead or in addition to this?
should give you some sense of who has the brains to compose an orignal thought
I don't have the bandwidth to grade that many hand written assignments
That's why I call the writing requirement bureaucratic nonsense. The size of the class is not structured in a way conducive to writing assignments
It actually exists.
chatgbt dot org. Defo something up with that. Ughw-wtf!
I expect that it's a typo-scam thing.
yeah crazy
taking advantage of noobs to a level I didn't even realize existed

This is exactly why Bitcoin works and why LN works (in self-custodial forms), but none of the solutions that introduce a third party work. And I think on cashu / fedi you have 2 points where it can go wrong: the mints, and the gateways.
It is therefore always inferior.

Hey @k00b been having problems with my coinos receive wallet so I deleted it and tried to reattach. Got this error message when I tried to add the receive wallet.
failed to create invoice: GET https://staging.coinos.io/api/lnurl/fa1864dd-2d83-44c3-bae7-47379746df23?amount=1000: 500 Internal Server Error
Not our fault: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2866#issuecomment-4068189184
let's hope coinos fixes this stat
I messaged their support. Hopefully they resolve. Thanks for getting back to me.
but hey... SN is "self-custodial" now...
That URL gives a 500 error on coinos side, "user not found":
% curl -v -L "https://staging.coinos.io/api/lnurl/fa1864dd-2d83-44c3-bae7-47379746df23?amount=1000" * Host staging.coinos.io:443 was resolved. [..] > GET /api/lnurl/fa1864dd-2d83-44c3-bae7-47379746df23?amount=1000 HTTP/2 > Host: staging.coinos.io < HTTP/2 500 < date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:27:36 GMT < content-type: application/json < content-length: 16 [..] < "user not found"Hmmm. I can send and receive payments via invoices but I can't receive when I type the lightning address in. Tried from another wallet as well to send to the coinos wallet and it didn't work but sent fine when I created an invoice.
I am having same issue.
I wonder if it is a config issue on CoinOS end.
My guess "staging.coinos.io" is the issue. Maybe they accidentally pushed a hard coded URL from staging to production.
Very good catch. If I remove
staging.from the given lnurlp, then it works.I guessed your lightning address, used it twice manually, and the url it generates always ends up in
user not found. Must be something on their end.it's grayruby2@coinos.io
I had to nix the first one because it got hacked.
same result, so neither you or the hacker can get paid 😂
Haha. Might be time to move on to grayruby3 haha. I sent a message to coinos support.
i think that this is a systems error. not an account error

I hope it remains like that
I think I need to donate more sats to Zeus!
Who’s with me?
few people know that you can zap Zeus team through Zapstore.dev (from where you can install it also).
or zap Evan on nostr!
I strongly recommend zapping the team, not the team lead or individual members: https://zeusln.com/sponsor - I think this is the proper place.
Also inside Zeus, if you want to be more anonymous
I never saw this!!!?!?
It's optional and well buried!
Settings -> Payments5%? I'm in the wrong business.
funny enough, many bitcoiners prefer to use fiat loans and pay 40% taxes to pedos, instead of using bitcoin and give 5% tips to devs
Does anyone have any theories why Carlson & Frens are getting into creating awareness with their following about privacy tech? Like this? Like, getting some 25yo German shitcoiner no one ever heard of on your show to explain cryptography to 2.5M viewers on X alone is an interesting programming choice.
Is it just a massive CYA op for what's about to rain down on them (which in its own may be WWE)? Did the shitcoiners simply buy a slot? Do the Feds approve now that the entire telco network is irreparably compromised? All of the above?
Evan on Spark!

So guys, the case is closed now.
this is how the parasite takes over the host - breeding anxiety thru hatching & biochemical control, followed by complete submission to the will of the parasite gods;
the parasite occupies the host's attention externally, so that the host never realizes to look at himself, internally;

rationale: "fundamental reason, the rational basis or motive of anything"
opinion: "opinion, view, judgements founded upon probabilities"
at some point, a high enuff opinion becomes the rationale; this can be done in light or dark mode, like anything;
