Check out https://darthcoin.substack.com/, @DarthCoin I have learned a lot from his posts. 

 oh and @BTCsessions https://www.youtube.com/@BTCSessions 

 Yes and yes

The reason you don’t see many posts about education is this particular ‘platform’ of Nostr isn’t the IDEAL place to post stuff like that at the moment. I think @TheGuySwann (or one of his guests) was recently lamenting how it seems L2 is changing every 6 months. It’s hard, but so are the best things in life. 

 Ok sure thanks for the tip. 

 @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 @Spencer  posted this on Nostr recently. https://podverse.fm/episode/SmqJlJjtj 

 ok thank you

 You can just ask instead of whining

 I apologize for the misunderstanding.  I did not mean that I personally needed help, as we got the lightning node setup already.

Instead, this post promotes the idea that Nostr in general as a sub-culture, should re-think the virtue signal angle, and partially replace it with educational on-boarding, for new users.  As there is no value in a meme, if one cannot act on it. 

 There are a bunch of resources out there for these things, but social media isn’t exactly designed for tutorials. It’s kinda built for memes and short videos or media and the like. I think this might just be the wrong environment for the type of content you seem to be looking for.

But if you wanted resources all you have to do is ask, people are more than happy to help. But I suspect “asking” by basically saying “you all suck and never help anyone,” is likely to get you a lot LESS assistance… thus confirming what you have already decided is true.

Just sayin.

For resources: I can’t think of a tutorial or info that @BTCsessions hasn’t covered on his channel. I always direct people over there first.

 Ah! Gotcha. I see what you mean and that’s probably a good idea too

 Force closures will kill any meager profits you make over months. 

 Rebalancing manually is pointless. You need to get lucky with a cheap route. You only have a chance for that if you use automated tools and attempt rebalance like once a minute! 😂 

 Have you used Liquid to rebalance?

I've heard it's done, but never tried it. 

 Lndg is good enough for me. I don't use external services to rebalance, insane fees. Patience is required. 

 Understood 🫡  

 ok thanks for the tip 

 Most of them doesn't even know how ligthning works, they use primal wallet or other custodial wallet, thats what they can setup, nothing more🤣👀
 

 lightning isn't for you, it's for banks. you will cede control of your funds to a bank, plain and simple. this is the path they are walking on whether they want to accept the truth or not. 

 monero be shitcoin. we do not shitcoin. 

 ok.... so you can't even tell someone how to swap into lightning?

But you can tell a fiat dude?  So you're saying fiat is better? 

 Speak for yourself 

 There:
Easiest and fastest, but almost most expensive, how to start on fully self custodial lightning: 
1) have a UTXO of at least 1M sats
2) buy a @Start9 or @umbrel 
3) watch the @BTCsessions YouTube video titled UMBREL - How To Use Your Bitcoin and Lightning Node (NEW)
4) open a channel to @The Nodestrich ♾️  or @LNServer 
5) download @ZEUS on your phones, sync with your node, btcsessions also has content on this.
If you have more money than time, this is how to do it on easy mode. 

 that's like installing arch from scratch but it cost money. you're insane if you think that counts as an easy mode. 

 you're obv too poor to see that money buys you convenience 😅 

 I think it only took me ~ 2 hours including watching the BTCsessions video. So not exactly terrible. Not saying it’s EASY, just the easiest way I know of 

 I agree that lightning still kinda blows, it’s not making much headway in the free market……I’m still rooting for it though 

 I love this thread. Thanks Mike!

 In my honest opinion, lightning is a failed attempt at fixing a problem. It's cool but it really only functions best with centralized nodes. It's ridiculous to expect someone to open a channel and have to risk precious bitcoin. the whole setup is a mess, not user intuitive and really it's sad.
