So looking into the future when mempool fees are consistently higher due to more users, how negative do you think that will be for the LN? I mean the whole point of it is so that we can still have cheap transactions. I really know very little about the theory, or current practicality of it, at the moment as I just haven't had the time to get into it.

from what I know, everyone's lives experience from childhood to adult wasn't same. Some didn't had the luxury of enjoying what they are opportune to be capable of  today  and for such set of persons they really want to enjoy now what they were unable to while growing up due to their weak financial background back then.

 but this attitudinal way of thinking may be different to some other person that had a beautiful childhood of having access to almost everything nice that made life beautiful for him. The taste to mostly get nice things than just only the things you feel needed will  differ between the individual's.

I never really cared about the mempool fees until I started to running a lightning node. Now I keep a tab open at all times to monitor the mempool when I'm using the computer.

January was quite a rough month, considering the mempool fees. I had two channels force closed, costing me roughly 200k sats.

Seems the chain spammers have finally run out of money, or I guess achieved their goals. Just to remind everybody again, the solution to high fees, is high fees.

Of course, that goes without saying 

Good question. 4 years ago Grasshill said they were selling socks for Bitcoin again. They're the original Bitcoin alpaca socks people who started the whole Bitcoin-alpaca connection.

Their current website makes no mention though.

Maybe email them.

 I'll get some locally-sourced alpaca wool and learn how to knit you some socks for bitcoin if the price is right

same here.

however i will dump the bcash_lol pretty much instantly

 Sorry, I had to take the youngest to a birthday party. 

 The flesh is bright white, slightly crispier than a Macintosh but sweeter while still being tart and very juicy.  My grandma used tell me, "Those are cooking apples!" but I wasn't much of a cook back then (well, I cooked but not pies), it satisfied my hunger on the ride home and they are delicious (not the apple variety delicious).  I can get them here still in season but generally, I get whatever Costco has - Honeycrisp, if I'm feeling wealthy, Ambrosia or Gala otherwise.  I would get the Macs but my my wife and kids think they're too soft.  I like fruits too and we usually have a good selection of fruits on hand - we always have apples, mandarins (or clementines), seedless grapes and bananas... fresh strawberries if they're available otherwise a bag of frozen sliced.   For some reason, the Florida oranges and grapefruit have been very difficult to find these last few years.  I did find some Florida Ruby Red grapefruit by accident a couple weeks ago - we had a visitors staying over so I prepared some at breakfast and I was told by one of them, "I don't really like grapefruit." and I said, "Well then, I suspect you haven't tried one of these; just take a spoon and see if you like it." and after they tried it, they couldn't believe how sweet it was, finished it and then accused me of putting sugar on it.  I did not.
 
 I'd better stop giving away my secrets or it'll be even harder to find Indian River Ruby Reds and Ethiopian Guji, Gigesa coffee beans.  It's the same thing that happened to bitcoin when I told everyone how good it was.

In my opinion, the distribution of the MtGox coins will be a nothingburger.

There are 140k btc to be distributed among like 40k creditors. Thinking all those creditors will immediately sell all their coins is just silly. Some will, some won't, but definitely not all.

Unlike OgNasty, who thinks all of them will be sold immediately, let's make an assumption that half of them will hit the market in the near future. Let's also make the assumption that they will evenly get sold during the span of a month. That's 2.2k (65k/30) coins per day. 2.2k btc per day is nothing. For reference, the net inflow yesterday for the btc ETF's was 10k btc.

I know I've said it before, but as a creditor myself I have no plan to sell any coins once I get them.

Selling anything right now would just be silly, we are in the beginning of a bull market ffs.

yep I wouldn't want to miss that experience either!

sleep well fellow coiners.... or have a nice day, depending on your time zone 

Yeah, not every one of us here is gifted.
I remember times a decade before Bitcoin when i was in about the same situation, buying things wise. I'm glad i'm well past these times, but they had taught me well, too.

All I want to know is... can I still buy Alpaca socks with bitcoin?

I had times in my life when I coudn't get the stuff I needed (basic things, even food).

So being able to buy stuff that I have to buy is very nice for me.

A perfectly ripe home grown vintage tomato. Picked warm from sunlight. is really good.

never tried Cortland. what do they taste like?
Apples are so divers in taste it's almost a miracle. Even when apples get old and mealy you can grate them and they taste delicious again (at least most of them)

Nope. Not in my understanding. When i don't need some thing, i likely wouldn't buy it. So it's not quite nice if i have to...
That's also the reason why i actually repair most of my stuff if it breaks. I just don't want to buy replacements for stuff many people would just throw away if malfunctioning.
I like to live on a small environmental footprint, too. Regarding special hobbies, i am open to the more "nice things" side of purchases, but i usually think at least twice about these.

 I've never had the pleasure.   It's hard to find rare fruits around here but I'll keep my eyes peeled. (that was lame, sorry)
