Bitcoin Calendar: July 2026
June 9 is also the day El Salvador Passes Bill to Make Bitcoin Legal Tender.
Thanks for the tip! Will include in the 2027 edition :)
Shouldn't all of this AI stuff be trending towards free.
Right now i'm running a modal on a mac mini that smokes the top tier models we were running 3 years ago.
So......in 5 years aren't we going to all have a free and open source Fable equivalent running on our Umbrel or Start9?
5 years is a long time.
And how "Intelligent" does the general public need a daily driver AI model to be?
Couple months ago I tested a few local image and music gen Models that I could run on the mac mini. They both sucked. But i'd imagine theyd be decent in 2 years and ok in 4 and good enough for general purpose sort of things in 5.
I feel pretty comfortable about these predictions, especially when considering that the rate of improvement is likely to increase rather than hold still.
I'm sorry Europeans. You have wonderful cheese and food and old stuff, but things are not looking good for you:
This really is business as usual. The hypocrisy of VdL and the EUC isn't with their own tariff implementations, it was in their reaction to the Trump tariffs. Just ignore the politicians, especially the ones on a power trip.
PS: "old stuff"? lol
It's almost as if we didn't have enough reasons already to get TF outta here

20k bottom incoming!!
that's too low, I think
I think so as well. But if that happened it would be max pain
@AGORA @AG
I paid for my order using ecash lightning and it is stuck!!
I hope you guys can see it on your end!
Sheesh the 0% fee payment methods are a real struggle today
Just switched instance and LN node. Try again when you can, and thank you for your patience.
No errors on our side, just seeing an expired invoice. I feel our nodes have no good connectivity, which wallet are you using? Let's see if we can do better.
Dang I paid already the sats left my wallet.
Maybe the mint rugged me? I sent a lightning payment through the mint and it confirmed as paid but the wallet logs don’t have any records of it.
As you can see here I tried to send it as a ecash but your invoice didn’t allow for me to past a string so I took the token back into the mint
Look's to me they left and they came back lol, as you can see "You Sent" and "You received" back one minute later. The issue is definitely in our decoy wallet!
The new BTCpay instance is now connected with @rizful_com. Try again, it should work
Nah that’s not what happened. I tried to use your pay with ecash and since I am on mobile I used Zeus and developed a string.
The invoice your store showed didn’t allow for a string to be pasted. It just shows QR codes which are terrible for making payments via mobile. So I took the ecash nut back. If you wish to take ecash tokens from mobile clients you should allow a box for us to paste the ecash nut in.
Since that failed I selected lightning and paid the lightning invoice using the mint. It was marked paid but you never got it. Zeus and the mint don’t have any record of payment.
I am sharing this with you so you know how you may have lost a sale due to trying to use tech that didn’t work. Especially on mobile
The BTC pay server lightning payment failed. So I tried ecash and now I lost 61k in sats. And the other methods charge a 1% fee which I think is too high for bitcoin native payment solutions.
But it appears 61k sats might be my loss. Due to the poor POS on your site.
I’ll try to make my purchase next months. And please improve for next time.

Could be that your Zeus node is not well connected? Are you using LSP channels or your own ones?
That's really good feedback for the dev #1509434
The merchant pays the fees, not the customer; we place it there for awareness. Better remove it?
Unfortunately, we did not receive anything on our side. I don't think the nuts are lost. But why then do you have a "You received" the same amount item in the transaction history? The cashew tokens are redeemable, so the same way you generated them, you should be able to redeem them yourself.
In the worst-case scenario, reach out to your mint operator; it is always a learning experience for us all.
I really hope you are able to recover these nuts. Let me know if there's anything we can do on our side; maybe sharing logs of the orders and payment processors could help the (plugin) devs (or mint runners) figure out what happened.
Didn’t use Zeus the LSP node. I used the mint to make a lightning payment. The LSP is the Minibits mint
Yeah as a shopper it appears 1% will be added to the final amount to cover the fee. If you the merchant is covering the fee internally then make it known. Or remove the 1% all together from the payment options.
I think you are understanding what happened. What I showed was the redeeming of the nut since i couldn’t paste the text string in your invoice. So I clicked lightning and made the payment through Minibits.
I sent an email to Zeus and Minibits to see what happened.
I hope so too. That is why I am giving you this feedback. But if I lose these sats I may refrain from making purchases on your site until the checkout experience improves. As a customer it sucks to lose out on something that I feel wasn’t my fault.
Good News @BlokchainB , legendary @adam_coinos_io located your payment and confirmed an issue in the cashu plugin.
We are waiting for the sats to be credited in our account and we will process the order, so you will receive the item before this weekend or early next week.
you got a response :)
Gotcha, so the issue was not with the CASHU tokens but with the lightning invoice itself. Do you see another transaction for 61,256sats going out via Lightning in your transaction history? it should be just above the two you shared above.
In our side the Lightning payment never arrived, and in the meantime, the cashu quote expired.
There is a great chance to grow your sats stack here.

lol, hfsp
I could never be poor. I useful skills.
I feel like you have been around long enough to know how this works. Are you in denial or just clueless?
⬆️ App releases
⬇️ App reviews
⬇️ Apps with significant usage
I can spin up some clawbots and fix that for you, but are we sure that we want this fixed?
oh lawd no! But I suspect the trend is followed in writing as well:
⬆️ number of articles published
⬇️ number of humans who read them
Yes. Even for funny cat videos.
I blew through my weekly Fable budget in 12 hours.
Did it give you anything good?
I think so. I'm still working through the output. I had it write up all the wallet protocol assumptions we make then find contradictory evidence by reading source/docs.
It also found a few edges in my send code that are bad UX.
Not Fable related but I am getting sense for why lightning experiences can feel untrustworthy. Most api layer stuff is laissez-faire with in-flight statuses.
That's cool. Costly to verify though! So you probably won't need Fable for the coming week anyway, lol!
API layer is mostly a mess, yes. But that's the default outside of Lightning too: move fast, but don't break things (cuz API) => Frankenstein. Great APIs are rare.
I have two siblings who are doing online dating, and struggling with it. My sister said she found the perfect guy and fell in love with him over text. When she finally met in person, he lacked drive and she was no longer interested.
My brother said he has trouble finding a girl who actually wants to meet in person. They just want to text forever.
Years ago I tried online dating and I ended up going out with a morbidly obese woman who used a 10 year old photo of when she was fit. So basically my conclusion is that online dating is bad.
Facebook dating worked for me last year.
You need to meet them as soon as possible. In-person contact will give you your best read on them.
Just treat dating like a fun thing to do for a month or two and you will have many to pick from.
I met my wife through online dating. you need to sniff out the normal people and see if you click. we did match.com back in the day. had a 99% compatibility match and we had chemistry. we aligned on faith, family, friends, fun and lifestyle. the rest is history once I orange pilled her lol
I haven't done online dating since I met my wife 10 years ago, but it's not what it used to be from what I hear. Perhaps, the past stigma was a feature. Even 10 years ago though I would recommend people get off the app asap then meet in person asap. People can be very different over text.
The whole app ecosystem has gone to crap too. Most of the apps are owned by Match Group which is effectively a monopoly and has perfected freemium/sunk cost patterns.
how hast thou shitcoined today? 🕵
you hath it figured out Sha
life wud be great if it weren't for the flesh & brain parasites - yes, yes it wud actually be really amazing, yet one must train hard to rid oneself of the pests;
👊🐍🖕🐉👊
I think it all boils down to maintaining a perfect immune system.
everyone gets the immune system they deserve, based on the training & applied knowledge;
a man with a robust immune system can calmly observe the 0rganisms flowing thru the body & the environment, and they wudn't affect him much, since the body rejects them (due to frequency mismatch);
imho, at different levels of awakening, different methods of clean-up are employed; purifying the water, air, food, and light one consumes is the beginner's objective; working thru matter, liquid, and air hunger is the next level;
the major problem then become the rest of the people with low immune systems & high levels of retardation; which is what one can observe in the currently intensifying conditions; complete abstinence from society is incorrect, however - one shud spend an equal amount of time in bliss vs correcting the chaos! (an idea not widely spoken about);
I always prefer bliss.
Chaos is handy because it gives you an easy way to effect changes.
there is no rise without friction; @Kontext uses the term "suffering" and i prefer the term "endurance training;"

the chakra regions are intimately related to lymphatics, this is why massage & Tai Chi work as well as simply "shaking out"the flesh, putting legs up the wall, hanging off a bar, etc...
I use TaiChi to enhance my balance and stability, and yes the shaking does make a difference.
Survived a consecutive eight-period teaching day for the first time ever. That’s because my originally free period for Thursday was hijacked by an engagement session I needed to make for our neighbourhood kindergarten children. They were scheduled to transplant seedlings at our hydroponics farm and it was my job to explain the parts of a plant to them. What made me proud was that I just hastily put together my presentation within 5-10 minutes this morning. A veteran teacher knows just how to navigate the hectic school day!
You need to see this. #1518332
wasting time. All fifa games are rigged and useless.
Hahaha 😂 Why do you say that? Your team isn't winning 🤔
there's no "my team"...
So what? Enjoy the game, bro. The World Cup is what it is.
aka total shitshow.
I have better ways to spend my time and not watching that crap.
on this we see eye to eye.
At least this year is producing some good memes.
