@Seccour 👋 I check in occasionally but it seems pretty dead

@stevenroose this is untrue, I've been a part of the Haskell community for 10 years and it is quite active, and has lots if smart developers who care about software correctness.

@stevenroose Haskell

@stevenroose it's possible, but I personally wouldn't run dotnet code on my server so I needed an alternative anyways.

At the start of the month I set out to build a lightning network Patreon alternative. After working a few weekends and holidays I finally have something working. Can't wait to upend the cartels and gatekeepers.

here's what you need to add to your nixos config to run spruned+clightning

going to add a bitcoind module next

nice, got spruned and clightning working as nixos modules

bitcoin core code contributors need to step up their game on patch quality. There's a reason linux has such strict standards for patches. They're constrained by reviewers, not coders. Smaller, more logical patches with detailed descriptions is going to become more and more important going forward.

So many PRs have commits with no descriptions in them. I'm looking at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13947/commits right now. how do you even review this, there's no explanation at all, just vague descriptions.

@stick emailed you the patch, it's also at https://jb55.com/s/0001-gcc-arm-embedded-latest-init-at-7-2018-q2.patch

let me know if that works, haven't updated the darwin hash yet.

@stick which version of nixpkgs are you on? I just packaged version 7 and could send you a patch for testing.

@stick nice! I maintain some trezor stuff in nixpkgs, happy to help if you have any questions!

@Seccour @samourai_official couldn't find it on there

@samourai_official is there somewhere I can download the apk directly? I don't have the play store on my phone.

I guess bitcoin is still trying to cross the early adopters to early majority chasm.

"it was recommended to me by one of the VCs that invested in my first startup - unfortunately a bit late. it was like reading the post-mortem for my startup, except it was all written before we ever started.

_Don't do this, because that will happen._ Oh, crap, that's what we did, and that's what happened. [..] When we finally turned things around, I gave all the credit directly to this book. It is that good."

This seems interesting (via apenwarr):

**Q: Why is your multi-year epic project still not profitable?**

Because you don't understand how the "technology adoption life cycle" (the one
with visionaries, early adopters, mainstream, laggards, etc) really works. The
ultimate book on this topic is: "Crossing the Chasm, 3rd Edition: Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers" http://a.co/d/f3eDLqW
