Thanks for the poke. Were you seeing this issue at Coinos?


hmm cool

Com muita alegria e satisfação compartilhamos o primeiro pagamento oficial sendo feito com Bictoin via Lightning em Santo Antonio do Pinhal/SP .

A sorveteria Senhora Sobremesa, dos proprietários Rafael e Rita, estão sendo pioneiros em aceitar e reconhecer o Bictoin como grande incentivo para a economia circular . Eles  produzem um gelato artesanal  sem gordura hidrogenada  , e estará com dois sabores que participarão no Mundial de Sorvete em São Paulo, o gelato "PInhão" ( característica de nossa cidade) e o "MIneirinho" ( este provamos e é feito de yogurte grego, goiabada e parmezão) .

Desta forma dedicaremos esse dia 17 de outubro para todo ano celebrarmos o "Ice Cream Day" de Santo Antônio do Pinhal para recordar quando e onde tudo começou 😄

E apenas estamos começando !

Good morning! Coffee is at Caffe Artigiano today for anyone joining us in Vancouver https://www.meetup.com/bitcoinprivilege/events/303488290/


I was having trouble figuring out how to get my coinos server to be able to run commands against my strfry relay because they're in separate docker containers. I got chatGPT to teach me about UNIX sockets and came up with this https://github.com/asoltys/strfry-rpc


good day sir

Weird, as far as I can tell zaps are working on our end. I'm not seeing the lightning bolt icon when I zap now using any NWC wallet. Maybe an #amethyst issue? nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcewvzaw


Thinking about ecash postage for spam prevention on nostr got me wondering if we could do something similar to help the Tor network. Just stumbled across this old article from 2009: https://blog.torproject.org/two-incentive-designs-tor/ Someone suggests bitcoin in the comments from 2010!

yooooooo!


I don't have a really deep grasp of either one to be honest but I guess the main point is that Cashu mints are run by a single custodian whereas Fedimints are meant to be operated by multiple custodians so that no single one of them can rug.

I found the Cashu tech stack to be a bit simpler and easier to get up and running in a self-hosted environment and since I don't have anyone in mind to be a joint custodian with me at the moment anyways I figured I'd go with that for now.

Deleting your Twitter account can actually make a difference.

Every time someone opens a link or searches for an old thread in which you participated they will not see your tweets, the entire experience will be broken and they will hate Twitter for that.

Hosting our weekly in-person bitcoin meetup in Vancouver today. 10am-12pm: https://www.meetup.com/bitcoinprivilege/events/302942833/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events


code golfing, here's a12-line javascript module that gives a promise-based API to make RPC calls to bitcoin core. it handles positional or named params.

https://github.com/coinos/rpc


Thanks from nostr:nprofile1qqs9vmqkduad4vxglwja5q2mpvauer4nd9452he2r4pml0vhqktyd2qpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qgewaehxw309ahx7um5wgh85etzv4jx2efwvdkx7atyqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsvu8r59 for add IRT API to #Coinos wallet.
It's the best custodial LN wallet that I ever be seen.


Not licensed yet but took an online course, read a textbook, joined my local club, got an HF rig and some baofengs and have been listening to nets and passing practice exams so nearly ready to book my basic.


https://docs.swarmcloud.net/ looks interesting


Today Alby Hub 1.7.2 was released which includes a new Friends & Family app for quickly onboarding (you guessed it) your friends and family to bitcoin and lightning, powered by your hub's liquidity. They get a wallet without having to understand lightning or have their own channels, and not rely on large custodial services. They can get their own lightning address with an Alby Account, or connect their new wallet to the Alby extension, or very soon connect to Alby's new mobile app, Alby Go.

I'd love to jump on a call with anyone who would like to test the Friends & Family app or Alby Go, or just hear any feedback in general if you try it on your own! feel free to DM!

Excellent suggestions!


Beef up your online bitcoin security by using a private home network 🥷

Self custody is important, now ensure you can always interact & transact without censorship ⚡

Below is the hardware and software I chose for my simple private home #bitcoin network 🧶

https://image.nostr.build/dfa75637632d09ffdf5226613dac512942a269d36f44db5266af19b214834bd6.jpg

1) APC 1500

https://cdn.nostr.build/i/b43843a1a473d8e856da8047e73bc000d9dbb119196f37bbea64d063e177ee06.jpg

Surge protection and battery backup for loss of power without downtime to the network & allowing for proper shutdown of hardware/software.

Plug all your hardware into this.

Screw your internet cable into the back and run an internet cable out.

2) Arris Surfboard SVB3202

https://cdn.nostr.build/i/aecc1437703955352ebaac5eb723eafdee26c3e77e4f670c2c687b0ef1902dc3.jpg

This is just a modem, no wifi, no bullshit. Just a nice, but really stupid modem that is just a modem.

Stop using your ISP gateway.

Screw the internet cable from APC into this modem and plug a WAN ethernet line out.

3) Protectli Vault fw4b

https://cdn.nostr.build/i/8018d2d86568f9abe850aa60218c394e7cb72db7bc3a794e2215800f19ac4d8f.jpg

This is a four port firewall router plus an auxiliary wifi interface.

This device runs FOSS OPNsense firewall software to protect your home network.

You can decide what comes in and out, separate devices on the network and so much more with this firewall.

Free Open Source Software runs on this dedicated micro computer to control your internet flow.

This is bad ass hardware and Protectli has been rock solid with customer support.

Plug your WAN ethernet from the modem into the WAN port of the vault and plug a LAN ethernet line out.

4) GliNet Flint 1800 WiFi router

https://cdn.nostr.build/i/7edc8f1850e6aa57cb99f59243fc34c32868f60ee2009d59ce1521a7aa14f56b.jpg

This sleek piece of hardware is the ultimate wifi router!

Take complete control of your home internet all from a very nice web based GUI.

This wifi router has four ports and four separate wifi networks each with own password protection.

Easy to add VPN with wiregaurd on the router and run tor on router. Covers every device connected.

Too many features to list including Adguard & DNS.

Plug the LAN ethernet from firewall vault into the LAN port on this wifi router.

5) Start9 DIY home server

https://image.nostr.build/e6f4320a192a8598b223c1b627f5ec3dd3f5303930325201c67d428f69b5ca12.jpg

I took a used Dell Optiplex 9020 with 8G and put in a 1T SSD in it.

Flashed it with StartOS and added Bitcoin Core.

Sovereignty in bitcoin is to have your own keys and your own copy of the blockchain and verify your uxto sets against your copy that is in consensus.

Tor web GUI allows you full configurations of what services you wish to add such as LND and mempool.

Pair with your lightning wallet and Sparrow Wallet on laptop.

Plug an ethernet line from your server / nodes into an ethernet port on the GliNET WiFi router.

6) Classic X Thinkpad

https://cdn.nostr.build/i/0c869a70a89e2f97344a20e0fa755fbe9578bce39be24d0b611437154b0c4145.jpg

This is a Bitcoin only dedicated laptop.

No bullshit, only necessary bitcoin things on this device. I got mine from MiniFree.

Coreboot/ Intel ME disabled
Debian
Sparrow Wallet
Tor
Terminal

OPNsense GUI
GLiNET GUI
Start9 GUI

This is the work station you interact with the Bitcoin network on...a clean linux laptop, behind a fire wall, thru a VPN and over TOR on private network isolated network!

All on hardware you own, running FOSS, in your own home.

7) De googled Pixel

Purchase unlocked with cash so as to not have identity tied to an ime number.

Run Graphene, wifi only, airplane mode

This is a secure private mobile device simply for running your hot/ lightning wallet, #nostr and connecting back to Start9 server away from home.

Can add Silent link service if needed.

Now is the time to take back control of your home network. Build a private home network that is representative of the value of what you hold.

Ensure you can always transact without censorship!

I'm doing an AMA! Come ask all your Coinos questions or whatever else you want to know! https://stacker.news/items/660776


Thanks for the review!


If you're looking to get the lightning address of a given npub you can query nostr relays for "kind 0" events for that pubkey. kind 0 events contain the profile metadata for a given pubkey including their username, avatar, etc. It may also have a "lud16" field with their lightning address, but it's an optional field.

Primal on the web. Main gripe: When I create a post or reply, it doesn't show up on the feed right away. At first I thought it was just lost. Re-typed it only to find later that I had posted the same thing twice.

Yeah we've been trying to make it as easy as possible to get started with Lightning payments. There are about 300 merchants using the app worldwide, including about 30 in Vancouver.
 nostr:npub168dqt5c8ue3uj8ynlk0lhwalnp7uy39lvzf9tm09wy3htxwmw7qq5nerj4 in Brazil has onboarded hundreds of them!

About a dozen are using the receipt printers for notification in Vancouver. I'm hoping to get more printers distributed out since I think it provides the best experience for both users and customers.

He can register an account at coinos.io in a couple of seconds and join hundreds of other merchants using it to take retail lightning payments for free.

We'll list him on the map on our homepage and btcmap.org and start promoting him to the community in an effort to send some new business his way.

From his settings page he can generate a QR code linking to his coinos profile page which can be placed up at the cash register to direct customers there. See https://coinos.io/shawarmacorner as an example.

That way customers can generate an invoice, add a tip and pay all from their phone without him and his staff having to do anything.

We tell all our merchants to enter their bitcoin sales as "cash" transactions in whatever existing PoS and accounting software they already have in place. We track the CAD value of all transactions at time of sale and provide a CAD total of all payments for the day/week/month etc.

If he has a tablet or phone to check for payment confirmation, that's great, he can install the app on the homescreen as a PWA. Otherwise we'd be happy to ship out one of the custom thermal receipt printers we've been working on which provides a very easy paper receipt confirmation. See this video for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiGoOJZUrP8

We'll get him listed on our homepage and btcmap.org and start promoting him to the community in an effort to send new business his way.

Once he accumulates a bit of a balance it's easy to withdraw to an on-chain cold storage address at any time. We can walk him through options for setting that up when the time comes.

I'd suggest printing out a QR code linking customers to his profile page e.g. https://coinos.io/shawarmacorner and posting it up near the cash register. From there they'll be able to create and pay invoices and add tips all from their phone without him or his staff having to use a device to generate an invoice or QR for them to scan.

We tell merchants to just enter all bitcoin sales as "cash" into whatever existing PoS and accounting systems they already have in place. We report what the CAD value is at the time of sale and total up all payments for the day so they can easily see them all at cash out time.
