True on the main chain of Bitcoin. Bitcoin payments on the lightning network are not computationally intense.

The app is simple (read: dumb). No pooling, because it computes everything offline.

I have zero experience with C# and it all lives inside a docker container and just works.

Naturally, I would prefer a non-windows language, but it is literally a black box that works.

TIL DAI cannot be frozen. Perhaps the first stablecoins I might be a little interested in.

The merchant should send the funds (sweep the UTXO) back to you if the funds are flagged. So you should not be out of pocket.

Have used it for accepting LN transactions for years.

Would love for Pine64 to thrive.

I don't own any of their products, but I am glad they exist.

Will this forever exist as a Fedora "remix". Or will we find the support in upstream so I can one day run Debian-based distro?

I think the last time I used an RPM-based distro was almost 2 decades ago.
