@dave @francosolerio Nope - indeed, it has virtually no insulation. Wall cavity is empty; house just made of foil-lined boards and wooden planks. Quite surprising.

@dave @francosolerio Yes, me too. It is useless (useless!) at insulating against the heat (87°F today) and similarly useless at insulating against the “cold” (sometimes it goes down to 44°!) so I’d hoped it was, at least, decent at ventilation.

@pauljrobinson @dave @francosolerio You’d think so.The thing I’m amazed about is two new-build homes which were built on this road last year where the builder didn’t bother to put solar on the roof. Astonishing oversight! Apparently that’s fine here too. If I were made King, I’d insist on solar on all new builds as a condition of planning permission.

@pauljrobinson @dave @francosolerio This year, Queensland government will earn AUD $4.7bn (£2.4bn) from royalties for mining coal and gas. The Murdoch press thinks there’s no such thing as climate change. (Nobody but Murdoch owns a newspaper in this state). The richest person in Australia is Gina Rinehart, a mining magnate. I could go on.

@dave @pauljrobinson @francosolerio Nice. I do mean to do proper insulation next time we have work done. We work upstairs, and there’s not even any insulation in the roof. We have split HVAC in most rooms. Our house is also off the ground (on stilts) which helps keep it somewhat insulated from whatever else is going on out there. Our home was built in…. 2005. I’m sometimes fascinated at the Australian building codes (and lack of them).

@dave @pauljrobinson @francosolerio (our previous home was built in 1860, and was toasty warm - nice very thick brick. But that was in another country.)

Building a thing after I randomly mentioned it to @samsethi in the last PWR - for showing streaming sats payments to a Strike account."Runway" is a kind of Helipad but for Strike payments. Writing it entirely in JavaScript, client-side, so I can't see into your own Strike account, and so the code is open and readable. I need to build the code to parse the payment details properly (it's currently ugly JSON) but it works.Will build a configurable "delimiter" (probably set for "this time last week"), as well as automatically get payment details of boosts. For Podcast Guru, who don't yet support the spec, that means I'll have to assume that more than 200 sats is a boost.https://podnews.net/runway if you want to play along. As you'll see from the API details, it's safe from me emptying your account! But there's not much error handling here yet.@dave @merryoscar @adam

@dave @francosolerio Franco, this looks awesome. Would you do me the small favour of listening to a little Podnews Daily, and streaming some sats? I'd like to ensure I'm supporting Castamatic in https://podnews.net/runway which is my new "Helipad for people who use Strike".(Also - are the CORS headers set so that it's possible for a browser to call these?)

@samsethi @dave @merryoscar @adam @podcastguru Progress! Runway - Helipad for Strike accounts - now displays boosts (and streaming payments) on demand, by hitting "proxy parse". Individual payment information currently has to be fetched by my own server, because of CORS issues.Here is an example - showing a boost from Podcast Guru and Fountain; and streaming sats from Podcast Guru. (TrueFans is currently broken for lightning payments, I hope it comes back soon, no pressure). These are the only apps currently supporting streaming or boosts, as I understand it.https://podnews.net/runway to play, if you have a Strike account yourself.I guess I *could* load these into a local database in localStorage, if I can work out how to do that. Want to keep it as clearly private as possible.

@adam @samsethi @dave @merryoscar Working on pulling the info into a database (local to your browser); and then filtering only boosts, etc.Total payment info is in the JSON, yes - again, hoping to locally database that for speed.

@adam @samsethi @dave @merryoscar @francosolerio Update:https://podnews.net/runway is now loading payments into your browser's local storage, if not actually doing anything with that yet. It'll get the first two weeks when you first connect it (and when you next connect it, should only get newer ones). That will make filtering below a certain level very possible, I think.The calls to payment info (which are now mostly direct from the browser) will also go into your local database as well.> I get a lot of transactions.Any guesses how many per week, so I know what kind of size?

@adam OK! It should be performant enough I think. Let’s see.

@adam @samsethi @dave @francosolerio Sure, why not... ;)It's now writing into the database, and then reading from it, so I've got that bit done. Current UI isn't very clear, but will fix that.We could do with a look at the Boostbox API to address the issue with the x-rss-payment header and browser requests. Or, to issue a 'wontfix' if it's not seen as important (that's cool too).https://github.com/noblepayne/boostbox/issues/8#issue-3894858104@noblepayne @merryoscar

@adam CSV export was quite easy to do. Now live - with three colums: timestamp, sats paid (i.e. what you got), and a metadata URL. Best work on the tool to properly pull in the big list of payments.

@adam My guess is that you'd want a better date/time than a unixtime...

@algrid @podcastguru @dave @samsethi @merryoscar @adam Your ones just send “V4V” at the start of the payment metadata; rather than an indication of whether it’s a boost or a stream like Oscar’s. An indication here would help us make a decision on which to fetch.

@algrid @podcastguru Would you mind enabling CORS on the JSON file? > Access to fetch at 'https://boost.podcastguru.io/boost/KhrpuJh7' from origin 'https://podnews.net' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

@adam I've added a datetime field in there, in ISO8601 format. "Local time" is the default in the UX for Runway, but not for this export (because it's quite hard to get the export to be consistent if using locales). Sender details (and type) is there if we have it.

I had a bit of fun re-writing this - it’s much, much easier than it used to be, and it also contains five years of explaining that just because it uses cryptocurrency doesn’t mean that you’re a cryptocurrency investor. Would appreciate feedback though. https://podnews.net/article/how-to-earn-bitcoin-from-your-podcast#podcasting #bitcoin #streamingsats

@adam Yes, I should have expunged the “tip” word. Will do. The value4value website is linked from Runway itself but not here. I should fix tha!
