    r/Bitcoin recap - June 2018

    Posted: 02 Jul 2018 12:33 AM PDT

    Hi Bitcoiners!

    I'm back with the eighteenth monthly Bitcoin news recap.

    For those unfamiliar, each day I pick out the most popular/relevant/interesting stories in r/Bitcoin and save them. At the end of the month I release them in one batch, to give you a quick (but not necessarily the best) overview of what happened in bitcoin over the past month.

    You can see recaps of the previous months on Bitcoinsnippets.com

    Thus far lightningspin.com routed over 400 individual payments to our users, for a total of almost 6M satoshis. The fees? 1,300 satoshis, or less than $0.10 USD. Not for each transaction. For all 400 of them combined.

    You can now vote on stores that accept lightning at http://www.lightningnetworkstores.com (1 satoshi = 1 vote).

    Posted: 01 Jul 2018 07:08 PM PDT

    This option to upvote/downvote has just been added: http://lightningnetworkstores.com

    The git repository (https://github.com/lightningnetworkstores/lightningnetworkstores.github.io) is still going to be important, as the server fetches new information from this repository automatically every 10 minutes.

    The payments are being proccessed by strike (https://strike.acinq.co) for now, their node is well connect, you probably already have some outward capacity to it:

    Let me know if you have any suggestions! Things that have been suggested before are:

    • Changing the votes to star votes (1 to 5 stars).
    • Allow for people to comment
    • Have paid tags for each store
    • Sort stores by trending score

    Also looking for people to help maintain the repository (write access can be given).

    EDIT: For those that are still seeing the old website, access direcly with the IP: http://95.179.142.99/

    EDIT2: You can see the split scores of a store when you click on its score: https://imgur.com/a/MuikitS

    Ignorance!

    This is a real conversation I had with a friend once:

    Me: "Hey, Bob, maybe you should invest in some Bitcoin."

    Bob: "Oh yeah I was thinking about it a while back."

    Me: "That's a shame, it's around $3000 now"

    Bob: "yeah, it was $1000 back then."

    Me: "so why didn't you invest in some back then?"

    Bob:"it was too expensive"

    Me: "what do you mean?"

    Bob: "I didn't have enough to buy a Bitcoin"

    This is someone who studied electronics and if you spoke to him you'd think he was above average intelligence. Yet he was completely unaware that you could buy a fraction of a Bitcoin! I was stunned. But I think it really goes to show just how early days we are still in. Even though a lot of people have heard of Bitcoin, many of them are still totally clueless about how it works.

    My 2 Sats...

    Posted: 01 Jul 2018 10:37 PM PDT

    While I am a nocoiner, I have grown to appreciate the opportunities that bitcoin gives people. I used to work at Walmart, I was a customer service manager for about 19 months. I oversaw the money center and had to know all the policies and procedures regarding transfers. So many times people would come in and want to send money and would then complain about the fees.

    In the states it was $4 for <$49.99 and $8 for >$50. So many times people would complain that it was over 10% more in fees for just sending $50. When it came to sending out of the country it was a crapshoot for exchange rates and fees. Also, sometime around February, we became unable to send or receive money from China. I always thought to myself how much easier it would be if people just transferred money using bitcoin. With lightning becoming stronger day by day, it would be so much cheaper for people to just use bitcoin.

    I'm not really behind bitcoin as a store of value just yet, but it really is an amazing currency.
