@k3tan @stephanlivera I used this: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
Basically log in to digital ocean and just click the "Create Mastodon Droplet" button on that page. Setup dns records, and then SSH in as root.
I would like to draw you attention to a really cool, instant, distributed, secure file sharing technology. For situations where you quickly just want to sent a file to somebody without using Dropbox, Drive, ...
Magic Wormhole

If you just want to quickly try it out, there's a GUI app here:

@mir_btc ...but face it, you know they deserve it.
@RonaldCrb @stephanlivera Well, what can I say, local bitcoins needs to add lightning support. :)
I actually get kinda annoyed every time I have to pay for something with BTC and I can't use lightning. Like, it works! Make it happen!
(Ok, so admittedly my own OpenTimestamps calendar doesn't have it...)
@RonaldCrb @stephanlivera Right. But point being, the role of the escrow is to release the BTC after the bank transfer has happened right? And if it doesn't, arbitrate that?
See, if this were a in person cash transaction, Lightning would certainly work: I send you the lightning tx direct to your phone, it confirms pretty much instantly, you give me the cash. (Obviously that has other risks)
@stephanlivera It's the Bitcoin Fed. We're the new Fed.
@RonaldCrb @stephanlivera So to be clear people are mainly using bank transfers to send the fiat?
@verretor 401k is boring.
@RonaldCrb @stephanlivera Pity. Transferring Lightning from person to person is really quick and easy though. I don't know much about how local bitcoins works these days. But Lightning's speed may have made the escrow functionality of it a lot less important anyway.
@RonaldCrb @stephanlivera as in, local bitcoins doesn't support lightning?
@waxwing Everclear might do it. Or a good blow to the head.
@orionwl @stephanlivera @raucao Note how I made it impossible to reply to this tweet: https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/1348179486379024384?s=20
I get that it's hard to switch. But it definitely is best if a significant number of people stick to it. Network effects matter a lot.
