Bitcoin

After looking for a way to sell event tickets via Bitcoin lighting network, I have given up on finding a solution built for tickets. Is there another solution I can re-purpose? #shopstr seems interesting, I can list a bunch of items aka tickets and people can see them by clicking on my profile, but it requires a cashu wallet not a regular lightning wallet.

#flockstr seems great but their ticket functionality doesn't work yet.

I know lnbits has a ticketing extension but I'd rather not have to run my own node, BTCPay server, etc.

Anything else out there?

Where can I signup for a bitcoin debit card without a phone?

There are a number of "bitcoin debit card" providers -- services that issue you a traditional visa/mastercard/etc debit card that allows you to pay for purchases in fiat, but where the balance of the card is automatically converted from your cryptocurrency balance stored on their custodial wallet.

Note that a "bitcoin debit card" is distinct from gift cards in that the balance lives in an account below the debit card, not on the card itself. This is important because otherwise you may end-up with tons of different cards with low balances. It's important for my business that I can pay invoices with a single card, and if that card expires then the balance can simply be spent on the card's replacement.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any providers that do not require a phone to be linked to the account.

For security reasons, I do not mix insecure devices like my phone with high-risk accounts like financial services. Therefore, it's important that I find financial services that don't require a phone number to be linked to the account (shudder at the thought of implementing 2FA over SMS) or an app.

Coinsbank requires a phone number. Wirex requires a phone number. Cryptopay requires an app (which grants access to the account to a phone). Unbanked (Ternio) is dead.

Where can I get a "bitcoin debit card" without a phone?

Is this a real bull run that will take us over $50k or just another pump and dump.

People I know I'm creating low effort posts, but I can't find any active Bitcoin community in Lemmy to follow and I refuse to go back to Reddit. So we need to f*** start somewhere.

After a very long time Bitcoin is back to $31k. Is this the right time to sell or to buy more?

BTC is above $30K again, gained $3k in just 5 days. What do you think the price will be in 2 weeks and why?

Looking for store indexes and core patches in particular, theres a lack of info on the available patches out there (other than ordisrespector).

This is a day created to make representatives more aware that their constituents care about crypto and want to assert their freedom to use it. Pro-crypto lobbying group is asking people to ask their reps to support the The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act which pretty much everybody in crypto agrees is a good bill for removing legislative ambiguity around crypto.

Not sure how serious the post. Anyone know more?

Just wondering if there is a risk of it being recoverable after the transaction has been completed. I figured it would be stored in RAM and thus unrecoverable after powering down, but I can't seem to find anything on that.

“They came back to us, and they said . . . we believe every asset other than bitcoin is a security,” Armstrong said according to the FT. “And, we said, well how are you coming to that conclusion, because that’s not our interpretation of the law. And they said, we’re not going to explain it to you, you need to delist every asset other than bitcoin.”

I am looking for a wallet I can keep in cold storage (an offline machine) which can occasionally sign txes and have a hot wallet send them. I'm having trouble finding a wallet that supports this. Or is multisig a better way to do this?

Preferably OSS, preferably run on Linux, needs a GUI.

There isn't a way to run a lightning node with the private key in cold storage is there?

This place is looking a bit dead. It seems like lemmy.world has the most active Bitcoin community, so we should probably consolidate our activity there:

After a long wait BTC is back to $31K. I'm really liking this steady growth and apparent stability. I hope it stays like that instead of 🚀🚀 and then 🔥🔥🔥🔥 📉📉

So, i have this Bitsa prepaid card that is supposed to accept bitcoin transfer that can converted into fiat money. I used it two or three times just to have a tool in case. I think i have maybe 5 euro left there, to keep it in use.

All the last week kept asking me to change the SCA code but then it failed with something that look like an https failure.

Today i tried from a computer browser and i discovered that my (fixed) ip is blocked.

So I opened them a ticket, they unblocked the ip and then they asked me to uninstall the android app, reinstall the app and try from that for going on with troubleshooting.

The app is not available anymore in google play for my country

I told them with a screenshot proving.

They counter that the tech support say it's available in my country.

Btw, anyone got an apk ? :-)

I realise this is probably „old news“ already for some of you. But this plus the IMF news is huge for bitcoin!
