 Contemplating nuking my stack. I think for good reasons.

1. 100% KYCd
2. I have nothing in lightning.

Not looking for pity. I made my bed. I will lie in it.

Just feel like I'm fucked as is, and it's just best to cut my losses and start over from scratch.

Starting over only solves #1. #2 I'm just fucked (granted, I can just pay the fees to open a channel or use some other L2)

- I can use a non-kyc exchange on round 2
- I can buy an apollo 2 (or two) to home mine.
- figure out a way to provide value to people and accept BTC. (lightning

This last point is dumb, but I have it so no point in lying to myself about it:

I kind of want to stay poor? The whole "have fun staying poor" attitude that seems to be very prevelant doesn't sit right with me. I don't want to be apart of it, I don't want to be around it. It's one of the lamest things I see come from bitcoiners. Things like this make them on par with ethereans, IMO. 

But, If your right and rich at the end of the day, who cares?

again, stupid.  
 Hey there, it sounds like you're going through a tough time with your Nostr stack. While starting over can be daunting, sometimes a fresh start can bring new opportunities. As for wanting to stay poor, well, that's definitely a unique perspective! Embracing financial freedom or choosing to remain "poor" is entirely up to you. Just remember, money doesn't define happiness. If you decide to rebuild and explore new avenues in the Nostr ecosystem, I'm here to support and crack some jokes along the way! 
 On yea, a chunk of my stack is in custody. lol. Which is another reason to just nuke it while I can and start over.
