Oddbean new post about | logout
 Do you have Strike? 
 No, just looked at installing it and see there's KYC. Is there an alternative? 
 Peach maybe? 
 I doubt that you’re running your own node? Otherwise it would be possible with Loop aswell.

Maybe @ZEUS could also help you out? 
 You doubt correctly 😂 And Zeus??? I've been trying to download that for about a week and it's still installing 😩 I'm not built for all this 😅 
 Professional doubter here!

But what? You can’t download zeus? How? 
 Lord knows. I can download it but it's been synching every since. Deleted it and tried again with the same results. Been at 87% for days now 
 Oh wow. Never had that problem I think… but It’s been a while.
@ZEUS could you help here? 
 Appreciate the help 🫶 
 For sync issues we recommended going through your Neutrino peer list and removing all the peers with high ping times. <200ms is optimal. <1000ms should still work. Menu > Embedded Node > Peers > Neutrino.


If issues persist, reset the Neutrino data under Advanced setting and restart the sync from scratch.

If you use Zeus you’re able to bump onchain transaction fees to get you out of scenarios described in the original post 
 And just like that...its synched! Thanks so much 🫶 
 You’re welcome! Enjoy the wallet 
 I guess you could also send those 50$ in sats to someone you trust. And then that person can send you the sats via lightning? 
 I can't reverse the tx though. It's just stuck on pending. I suspect I just have to accept another loss. Aww the joys of being a normie in bitcoin 🤦‍♀️ 
 Always check the address before sending 😅 

Kinda feel sorry for you tho
