The most convenient Lightning Wallet is probably Wallet of Satoshi, which you can find on the Apple or Android app stores. Once you download it, you can fund it with an on-chain transaction. Once you have funds in the wallet, you should be able to pay for invoices at agora.download.

Are you using the agora.download or test.agora.download? If you're using test.agora.download, are you paying with htlc.me? Can you provide the invoice ID? (It's the hexadecimal string after `/invoice/`.)

HTLC.me is a testnet Lightning wallet, so the balances are in tBTC, testnet bitcoin. tUSD isn't a real thing, it just means that if your balance was in BTC and not tBTC, you would have that much USD.

Nice, thank you!

Very much so! Plus it's open source and anyone can run an instance.

We don't host Agora instances, aside from our test instances, so we cannot prevent users from selling illegal content. Any useful technology has the potential for abuse, and Agora is no different.

Thanks for trying it out! Is the failure persistent or does it work when you retry it?

Currently, it only integrates with the Lightning Network via LND. You would have to modify it to support BAT. However, BAT would probably not be a good choice. BAT transactions are slow when compared to Lightning Network payments. Also, since BAT is a token on Ethereum, the fees would likely be prohibitive for small, or even medium size payments.

There might be others, but the existing system that comes to mind is Gumroad, a service that allows creators to sell digital content.

Compared to Gumroad, Agora is not subject to censorship and can be self-hosted.

Agora is a simple web file server that charges for downloads. It uses the Lightning Network for payments. The Lightning Network is a layer on top of Bitcoin that enables fast payments with very low fees. It settles to the Bitcoin network, so there's no separate token or currency.

Agora is released under a maximally permissive license and written in Rust. Currently it integrates with LND for Lightning Payments, so you'll need to also have an LND instance running if you want to charge for downloads.

And if you're interested in using Agora to sell some files, please try it out and let us know what you think! We have lots of ideas for features that we'd like to add, but are much more interested in what users need.

Take this with a grain of salt, Katie Hunt is actually a giraffe.

If you are mistreated in your country, why does it matter if you are a member of an underrepresented group or not?

Every human brain has inherent, powerful functionality to read depth cues from 2D images to infer object separation, shape, and distance.

Flat design intentionally avoids including any of these depth cues that would take advantage of this functionality. It is one of the best examples of form over function I can think of.

There's only one solution: Get rid of Argentina.

Ah yes, the infamous canal milfoil problem.

Reading the paper, I don't understand why the authors conclude that horizontal gene transfer is the most likely explanation, and not independent evolution.

I think they meant "Nobel Memorial Prize Winner".

"Elon has tonnes of money and he's very sophisticated, so I don't worry that his Bitcoin will sort of randomly go up or down."

I feel like if an American is being quoted, American spelling should be used. It's weird to imagine Bill Gates saying "tonnes".

This is a great explanation! Thank you, it makes perfect sense now.

That makes sense, thank you!

It's a bit strange to me, because how does a colorspace "predict" anything?

But maybe I get it. Is it that since a lab colorspace has lightness and opponent color coordinates, a lab colorspace, for example, "predicts lightness well" when a small increase in the L coordinate leads to a small increase in the perceived lightness of the resultant color?

The words "predict" and "prediction" are used here and in the original article on Oklab in a way that I'm not familiar with.

For example:

> For this reason I have designed a new perceptual color space, designed to be simple to use, while doing a good job at predicting perceived lightness, chroma and hue.

What does it mean for a color space to predict lightness, chroma, and hue?

I look forward to a redesign of some, but not all, of the system preferences, so that there are three distinct styles of preference pane with different partially disjoint sets of options, that you have to go hunting through to find the setting you want.

"Let me start right away by stating that the primary purpose of money is to enable and facilitate slavery."

This does not seem like important background on money.

Same! (Although not allegro.) It's so good to know that various forks of Dev-Cpp are still kicking around.

God that's sweet. I hope it gets merged.

I might be misunderstanding, but I would expect that both BEP 39 and BEP 46 would have to be exposed to the end user in the UI, and I don't see that in qBittorrent.

For BEP 39, "Updating Torrents Via Feed URL", added torrents with `info.update-url` would hit a feed to check for updates. Does qBittorrent actually do this?

For BEP 46, "Updating Torrents Via DHT Mutable Items", qBitorrent would have to allow adding torrents via magnet link with `?xs=urn:btpk:PUBKEY`. I tried this, and it didn't work. Is there some other way to do this?
