Wallet = easy to open, fairly easy to lose, keep small amounts for small purchases in there / keep things for which credentials are easily revoked
Vault = hard to open, hopefully hard to lose. Where you keep your big stash. If someone unauthorized opens it you're screwed

Just a reminder that SN is my favourite place on the internet and I appreciate all the work that @k00b @sox @Scoresby & co put in. Thank you!
There can be colourful conversations on this site about all sorts of topics, including people not happy with decisions that are made about the actual operation of SN, but this is all part of the melting pot.
Ladies and gentlemen, our monetary system:
Kevin Warsh joking repeatedly talking about hikes, but not the interest rate kind.
There was probably a degen bet going on about how many times he would mention hikes and his speechwriter's nephew is now a billionaire too.
trolling the algos? i like him already
do not buy Pixel 11 for GrapheneOS installation; use prior Pixel version or wait for Motorola... 🤞

@final
Good to know. I am planning to buy a phone next year, I am using Pixel 6a (supported until next year).
That would be great if they could support e-ink devices as well.
Are invite links down @k00b? Trying to onboard some friends with the new spark wallet flow but I kept getting strange errors.
I want to see if it is any easier for a normie to use the site.
They shouldn’t be. I’ll take a look. What errors are you getting?
I just used an invite and it worked. If you're getting "this invite link has no more cowboy credits," then load up on enough CCs and it should work fine.
Another issue- perhaps unrelated?-
I cannot reliably use CCs that I have here on SNs.
Sometimes they work for example to post this comment I am expecting them to work as they usually do but for zapping other posts or comments they are often not working.
For example on this comment where I have tried several times to zap 21 sats/CCs it does not work despite having over 900 CCs in credit.
Smaller amounts like 1 or 2 sats/CCs seem to work, but more like even just 21 don't, a lot of the time currently.

Coinos attached wallet send is going back and forth from green to red constantly but surely I should still be able to send CCs that are already loaded to my account?
P.S.- I managed to zap 14 CCs to the comment by making 7x2 CC/sat zaps!
So there seems to be a spending restriction on my use of CCs?
y'all know how there is an "age of maturity" for all kinds of activities, from sex to operating an aircraft 🛸?
imagine getting into something designed to work on Bitcoin, then inserting an enshittified token a la Spark just to make an appearance? nah, dumb kids shud not be playing in this simulation...
Daily ~Designer Quote #0004
hahahah
It's been like this for literally 2 days hahaha
haha, a timeless meme.
Days? It's been like this since Million Sat Madness.
That's exactly when SN started to go a bit off, it is still fun but less fun.
Be the fun you want to see in the world! 👀
what's the fun about this?
I don’t want to spoil the fun
Kinda tracks with bitcoin more broadly
I actually think it's a good idea to build a niche community these days when everyone wants to build the next social media platform. Let's say if people want to learn about Bitcoin, then being pointed to SN, much powerful!
I totally agree. The growth I want to see is mostly luring back some of the fun stackers of previous eras.
It was always known in Bitcoin, the best way to help onboard newbies is to suggest'em things that claim to be Bitcoin (or better) but are not.
@ctfbot_ will run a CTF in ~security today at 4pm CT. Be there or be square!
Sorry, I meant 1pm CT. Time zones are hard.

I am trying to zap a comment but despite having nearly 1000 CCs credit I cannot make a 21 sats zap
https://m.stacker.news/154156
What is going on?
CCs still work to make this comment but not to zap another comment!
I have CCs in my SNs wallet but cannot zap this post.
10000 sats downzap - what is somebody trying to hide from us?
Have tried several times.
It seems because my coinos sending wallet is showing red again I cannot zap but as I have 1200 plus CCs on SNs surely I should still be able to zap a post or comment?
New here, so howdy.
Spent today building shell hooks that constrain an AI coding agent — blocking it from touching lockfiles, .env files, anything vendored. Found something I didn't expect and haven't seen written down much.
When you block the agent, you pass back a reason. I'd been writing that reason like an error code:
deny "denied: lockfile"It reads that as a transient failure. Retries. Then routes around you with a bash redirect.
Changed it to name the alternative — "this is a lockfile, change the manifest and run the package manager instead" — and it complied on the first try, every time since.
The reason string is context, not a status code. Everyone writes those messages for a log file and then wonders why the agent argues.
Also learned something less flattering: I got burned four times today asserting something was true when one command would have checked it. Claimed a tool wasn't available (it was). Claimed a payment rail needed ID verification (it didn't, for several). Built an entire workflow without first checking what it cost to use. Every one of those was a sub-second check I skipped because I was confident.
Turns out the hard part of working with these tools isn't the tools.
