Downloaded the latest @blockstream green wallet (2.0.17) to a MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.7.2) from blockstream.green. The software crashed immediately upon startup (I tried it on two different laptops). Then, I resorted to the previous version (2.0.16), which worked as expected. I hope that no newcoiners will experience the same.

We are zapping. If you host your own lightning address: amazing. If you know the dude or chick who hosts your lightning address: very cool. If you use npub.cash, 1a. If you are on Wallet of Satoshi: it's a start. One step at a time on low time pref.
This is the view from down below; taken on a sailing trip to Norway two years ago. There are people standing on the edge...
I just zapped this note from https://mint.mountainlake.io ✔️

The closer to facts the more ChatGPT acts like a patient teacher. As the conversation gets a more human touch, ChatGPT turns into a very smart mirror.
a few seconds later: thanks for the code, chmod u+x chat4egge & ./chat4egge ... and pray 😎
My goal for Q1 is to ramp up my computing setup: put redundant components in place for instant fail-over switching, and create more capacity for Bitcoin, lightning, cashu, and nostr. Everything without asking for permission and the certainty that Bitcoin will not fail should I screw up any of the config or wiring. The power of de-centralization goes goes far for all of us.

People who still make their bets based on this man's advice are NGMI.
Technically: "I am here, so you pay me some of the money you owe me," or "I am here to ask you to transfer some of the debt you owe me to the car dealership."

"Why This Hope Matters: This open-minded perspective is not just comforting—it fuels curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown. The future of life and intelligence in the universe might be far more extraordinary than we can currently imagine." - ChatGPT
That's the spirit. At best (me being nice), TA is for the short term. Therefore, it cannot capture Bitcoin's long-term nature.

In addition to success, one can expect some fun in the recipe.
"In about 32,000 lines of code, Satoshi Nakamoto embedded the potential to displace the stabilizers’ monetary dogma that had influenced the dominant Keynesian and Monetarist monetary theories for almost a century." - The Genesis Book by Aaron van Wirdum; this is a brilliant book, very entertaining and hugely insightful nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqlrkt4q86w5at6s30juts6vk9ptq0plupp9qca404fzfh773y8vyqys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn9d9h82mny0fmkzmn6d9njuumsv93k2tcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsqg83uj9rmu9fp5j6wqkyzmjn2rc5w6jyj4589y4nmv7zpnqtwxr0ncf8kmjq

intelligent people are sometimes hard to understand because for them, everything that is easy to understand seems obvious and thus not worth mentioning - leaving humorous or higher-order observations; as can been seen here on nostr 🐬
Asking myself why I find this picture (that I will add to my collection 🙏 ) intriguing ... It looks like Bitcoin, being this absolutely brilliant innovation of the century that most of us here cherish, can still get an upgrade. For once, Bitcoin seems to be on the other side of the affinity game: typically shitcoins are seeking affinity to Bitcoin, here Bitcoin appears to seek affinity to natural beauty (optimized for dozens of millennia).
Ideas are the raw materials. Execution is the art to polish some of them to success.

The auditor reported "Error: Mint Error: proofs are pending. (Code: 11000)" on the most recent swap involving my mint. What can I do to fix the situation? The mint (https://mint.mountainlake.io) runs fine as far as I can see.

Very important work and great episode (thank you nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj , Roger, and Zack). Who needs enemies if your own elected government and/or executive branch is constantly looking for excuses to tighten control and restrict personal freedoms.
