 I just tested it and it works, but your wallet may not allow private node destinations 
 Zap creators of good content if you want #nostr to grow. It’s not rocket science.

 Fun fact about that...a lot of the work on genetically modified mosquitoes make in such that the effects of the change only happen after a couple generations, so the modified genes have a chance to spread first 🦟🪦 
 I'm very thankful that Bitcoin has bipartisan support as a neutral technology of free society.

Politicians can be pro bitcoin, but Bitcoin is a technology that does not bend. 
 I should have clarified that Bitcoin has advocates on both sides of the US political divide, not that supporting it is a component of any party platform. 

Wyden (D-OR) & Lummis (R-WY) have been the biggest allies that I've seen in the Senate.

 I don't think you're far off here from making something useful. You could arrange a Cumulative Density Function of Hashrate versus $/MWh which would indicate the remaining profitable Hashrate as electricity prices fluctuate.

 Just because you're building something cool doesn't mean you deserve a grant to support it. 

If you're going to create value, charge for it and see if there's a market to support further development. 
 I just sold 1 BTC of liquidity using these exact settings, netting 200k sats.

$124 to open a 1 BTC channel. Not bad for 5 mins of effort (I haven't automated it yet).

This contact is for 1 month, so I can close after then at my leisure. 
 eCash isn't looking like the answer to Bitcoin scaling. 
Back to lightning. 

Self-custody should be your top priority. 
 Self custodial users will be the kings of the future financial system, regularly exercising their sovereignty.

That means using their own policies, not anyone else's. 
That means capturing the long term value of infrastructure.
That means leveraging insights for precise management of their operations within the dynamic network.
That means managing relationships with other sovereigns.

Not everyone will be able to have the freedom of kings with their own UTXOs. 
 My comment isn't about DNS. It's about custody. 
 It's an indicator of a bigger problem: the users aren't in control of their own keys to unilaterally exit. 
 That's not at all what I'm saying! 
 The issue is that you're thinking in binary terms of success and failure for technology.

It's about the level of control you have from master all the way down to slave.
