  • I jpst googled it and got these steps (haven’t tried them yet):

    To set up a Nix service in your Guix configuration, you need to enable the service in your configuration file, typically located at /etc/config.scm. You can refer to the Guix documentation for detailed instructions on how to properly configure and manage services.

    Step one: Open config file

    Step 2: Enable nix service

    (use-modules (gnu))
    
    (operating-system
      ...
      (services
       (cons* (service
                (nix-service)
                (nix-configuration
                 (nix-channel "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.11"))
                )
              ...)))
    
    

    Save the file and reconfigure:

    sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
    
    

    After reconfiguration, verify that the Nix service is running correctly by checking the service status:

    systemctl status nix-daemon
    
    

    Additional Notes:

    • Ensure you are using the latest stable version of Guix to avoid compatibility issues.

    • If you encounter any problems, consult the Guix documentation for troubleshooting tips.

    • The Nix service allows you to use Nix packages alongside Guix, providing flexibility in package management.

    Hope this helps!




















  • Yes it’s decentralized and very hard to stop to parties from making a crypto transaction. But what about cases where you need to convert your crypto to say euros because the person/business you need to pay doesn’t accept crypto? Don’t you need an exchange for that?

    How easy/ widely accepted is it to pay for things using crypto (gas, rent, mortgage etc.)?

    The point I was trying to make is that if paying for stuff in crypto isn’t ubiquitous, it’s far less practical as a form of currency.
