If you find yourself in Amsterdam, there’s an automat chain all over the city called Febo. I really like it.

do you pack a little bottle of dawn in your bag? Do you use it as a general detergent, or do you use it to spot-clean stains? I love this idea, just curious about the logistics.

Such a privacy nightmare. It's mind-boggling that a group of engineers brought this thing to life, the whole time thinking "this is a good idea. we'll compile a database of people's iris' and associate it with a pub

In what way is Lightning a joke compared to what's happening on ethereum? People are using Lightning to get more remittance money to their families, while over in ethereum folks are speculating on jpegs and yield farming ever-more-unso

that's an ignorant statement. There is a ton of development and deployment happening to make the Lightning Network be a high-throughput, low cost way to move bitcoin around the world. A lot of people are working to make bitcoin more us

Yep. Want to accept onchain bitcoin? When a customer wants to pay, generate a fresh address. Store that address in a dab associated with the customer id. When they come for the service, see if that address has received payment. Easy peasy.

If you want to take a credit card, you need to open a bank account, sign up with a payment processor and integrate with them (stripe makes this easy, what if you can’t or don’t want to use stripe?), handle chargebacks, etc. If you want to a

that works as long as there are enough of you for every team/app/service/whatever to build and operate all that around the clock and without bus risk. A lot of these threads end up talking about "scaling" from a pur

30% premine of a token and then hyping the hell out of it is a great way to make a lot of money really fast

how do you ensure that someone stores the data for at least as long as the item? are they making regular storage payments?
