OK... so I've been running a NOSTR relay for a couple years now. One of the retarded things I do. Have it hosted in Norway I think, with a fantastic little hosting company. 60GB of space to run the server and 1TB for the data. Like $80/year. Super good deal honestly. They take "crypto" (good fuck) for payments. They use "Coinbase payments" which is a fucking abomination.
Well it's time to pay it... and guess what "crypto" coinbase will NOT NOT NOT NOT take for the payment this year?
Yeah. Do I have to say it?
I am not going to say it.
So yeah... I had to changelly some BITFUCKINGCOIN into ETH to pay my yearly dues.
And here is what I see:
So how is that "proof of stake" working out for you ETH fans? Like you thought?
I do not want to have to change providers next year... sigh... I guess I could just use paypal?
By the way... The TOTAL COST of changing my BTC into ETH (vomit) was $0.60 INCLUDING the network fee. But I am still not sure how much I paid to the ETH network to re-up my account... Maybe more than ten bucks?
What a fucking clown car.
This is SO GOOD though. Why? Because that retarded friction guarantees that ETH continues to atrophy while Bitcoin wins.
Also..
FUCK COINBASE.
Oh... cAPSLOCK is going back to sleep... in fact I think I have been posting WAAAAAAY too often.
But I love you all.
And no...
NO is the answer to the question some of you are asking. Though I might get stoned later.
Tell them your not renewing unless the accept King Daddy!
You can't let this shit slide, thats how the fuckers win.
It's just like our constitutional rights, they take a little at a time and people allow it.
Coinbase probably told them its all the same thing and tried to charge them a higher fee for bitcoin, its a wholly owned 3 letter agency now.
