How do you look it up


No, too bitter.


This is you playing?


That's what Twitter is for


You pay for the premium version or is free good enough?


Yeah, I know inflation is worse now, but I made a lot less 10 years ago and had more money for stupid stuff!


Yeah I think this would be beneficial. I had basically a cash sinking fund that I would stuff money into. And you don't touch it.

You use something like Ally bank? Don't they let you categorize your money like this?


Expected some of this too. Do you track every expense or just get the rough outline?


I used something similar, YNAB. But sometimes it's more than I want to do.


This is the response I expected out of most people.


How do you budget or plan to spend your money monthly?

Cash envelopes, software?

You connect your nose with NWC or some other way? Do you still get the lightning address you have when custodial?


It's probably her selecting this option when uploading photo perhaps?

Could it be possible on nostr currently? In amethyst there are communities https://image.nostr.build/5daccf291d1cdde601f7ed9d1b1c3c473b8bb65bb03d02f34e7062757565e74b.jpg .


I like amethyst the best so far.


Is the next fork war going to be block size related or spam/ordinal?

I have had similar experiences with ground beef  I'm not sure what it is about ground beef but it fills me more.
If I have a cut of steak, I can easily eat 2-3 pounds typically. Even lamb or venison too.
They are both fatty, usually chuckeye steak or 80/20 ground beef.

What did he say


As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a common owner. Some linking is still unavoidable with multi-input transactions, which necessarily reveal that their inputs were owned by the same owner. The risk is that if the owner of a key is revealed, linking could reveal other transactions that belonged to the same owner.

Is a clear net address necessary for a routing lightning node or is tor only good enough?


I appreciate you, you took the time to help me. 🫂


Not possible to migrate from LND to CLN? Did you go with CLN


There a telegram group for CLN nodes? To ask questions on and learn?


You're too close to the problem and don't have fresh eyes.


I don't have a better proposal and I wouldn't know how to make it work or how to choose, but I don't think everyone should have the right to vote. Some people are just stupid or don't know enough about the topic.

I wonder if you use persistent mode for the embedded node, if it will count as logging in to collect the zap. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5

You run a public routing node? How often do you find your self balancing the channels? Does lightning terminal make it easier?


I just started a core lightning node a few days ago and been having trouble with it. Then I started a LND node and it's working for me.


Why are you switching to core lightning?


Yeah, it happens with Bluetooth headphones too.


What's the force close wait time? I was using the UI for core lightning and the button just said close channel. Maybe it was force close 🤔


If I close a channel to Olympus, how long does it take for those sats to return to my onchain balance nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5

What's the best video to watch to understand ecash?


So they don't make the seed words available. I'm working through this in the telegram chat.


How do I view the seed words on Start9? It kind of sets everything up for you.


I can't send any on chain transactions from my core lightning node on Start9. I always get an error. I've tried it in Zeus and the UI on the node.

I have sats in the onchain balance and nothing in lightning.

Any tips to sweep the funds to a different wallet?

Fired? Thankfully you have been stacking for a while.


That's awesome!


That makes sense. Hopefully it picks up dev support


Starting an LND node now since LND connect is so much faster on mobile with LND connect.

Why isn't there a core lightning connect analog to make that quicker?


There are 5 steps listed for umbrel. If I can install Tailscale on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll then I might be able to do it.

Great! Is there a user guide for this? I'm not too technical.


Is there a way to connect Zeus to core lightning  that's running on a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node with Tailscale instead of Tor. It's so slow!!

I don't often talk about this, but with Swan's dive into what is essentially cloud mining, I felt it would be good to discuss this.

About 3 and a half years ago, I decided to mine Bitcoin at home on a small scale. The goals were to deal with noise, heat, and to learn. I ended up heating my house for the entire winter (an all winters to follow) with Bitcoin. Eventually, I wanted more hash power and started to look into options.

Lord Fusitu'a (RIP) saw my Twitter discussions about wanting to buy S19s and DMed me about it. He said that I didn't have to buy S19s and that their was a better way to proceed it I wanted to learn more.

He introduced me to a company called VBit. They were a cloud mining company that sold hash power in different increments. 33 TH, 66 TH, and 100 TH. They supposedly had facilities in the US mid-west and in Canada. They were a Philadelphia company! Go Pennsylvania! I was skeptical, so Lord invited me to on of their meetings to be transparent.

My takeaway from the meeting was that this was essentially the Amway of Bitcoin mining. It was a MLM with sales tiers, partners, and referrals, everything MLM! Very shady.

I asked Lord about this and he said that he's vetted them and been mining with them for 6 months and has on-boarded many Tongans to this company. He said I could just mine and not participate in the MLM portions of the company. He said many people did this.

Again, I was skeptical, but I really wanted to get an S19 and start to mine at a larger scale. It was hard to get an S19 now, with many being in backorder, so I decided to move forward. I purchased 100 TH, an S19, for $12,000. I was able to mine with the hash that I wanted and not have to worry about dealing with the excessive noise and incredible heat production in the summertime.

Because I was skeptical, I didn't use bitcoin for my purchase. I used a credit card. I knew if I had a problem, I could get my money back. Or at least I had hoped.

Everything was great for 5 months or so. I was getting monthly payouts. I was happy.

And then the Shitcoins started to blow up in May and June of 2021. It turns out that VBit was leveraged and trying to earn yield, with customer's funds, at Celsius or another entity that blew up.

But no one knew this for months. All payouts stopped. Zero communication. The company CTO left. The CEO was unable to be found. And then the company changed from names from Vbit to Advanced Mining. 🧐

Well, that was enough for me. I contacted my credit card company and was able to get $9,000 back. Advanced Mining settled with me, saying that I had made $3,000 worth of BTC withdrawals and they didn't need to reimburse me for that. I was was happy with that outcome and wanted this over and done with.

I found a couple Advanced Mining support groups on Reddit and Telegram where so many regular people, that weren't Bitcoiners in the same capacity as me, were completely rugged.

Advanced Mining has since been investigated by the SEC and sued in several states. I don't know what's been going on with them over the past year and a half. I stopped paying attention to them once I was out and happy.

My entire point here is that if it's not your physical device or your hash power, there's a major risk. Please be careful out there.


Didn't work with the :t or without. I guess I'll try another wallet.


What I noticed with the guide is it left the :t on the end. Does that need to stay? I'm about to try it with that.


I assume so, I have the option selected for Green wallet toggled on. I was able to connect to the server with Phoenix wallet just now.


I'm using Start9. Downloaded core and electrs.  I'm trying to connect to it with the Green app and it won't connect.

I'm using the hostname and port from properties. The xxxxxx.onion:50001

Any tips to get it to connect? Everything is running and green.


MyNode vs Start9

Pros? Cons? Anybody have experience with both? Which is better? 👀

Maybe a boost for more responses 🙏


I'm installing start9 on my old computer now.  I tried doing it all myself on Linux having never used Linux before and it was slow going and difficult to use. I can't wait for a user friendly os so I can make a lightning node.


I was trying to use the wallet connect feature on nostr with amethyst. When I connected it and tried to zap people it wasn't working very well. I think it went through once or twice.


I started using mutiny wallet 4 days ago. Opened a channel, and today when I opened the app. It immediately force closed the channel. Why did it do that? https://image.nostr.build/8c300b1aba4f5044311f557f0ab794f2193f74eb1974f21a9fcaa164f6c7eab1.jpg


Yeah, that would be best.


Anyone use Mutiny with wallet connect? When I when they show up as pending but never complete.


Can Zeus with your own node be shut down? Because the software can't be used anymore or the servers?


What's the best software wallet to use that let's you connect through tor with your electrum server?

Blue wallet used to be able bit they removed it.

I think I can use green wallet for my watch only wallet. Any others?


Any good guides on how to self custody lightning with Zeus?

Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.


Would transferring to aqua then to cold storage give some privacy? Since samurai went down.

If you your friend sends you $10 of Bitcoin to your Strike account but you have your settings set to receive Bitcoin as USD, does Strike count that as you selling Bitcoin and report it to the IRS?


Anyone live on Bitcoin? Like the #getonzero folks from a couple years ago?


What wallet let's you use testnet? I want to teach my wife how to use a Bitcoin wallet.

And how do I get Bitcoin on testnet?


That's fine but what if what Jeff Booth said about Bitcoin being deflationary is true. I don't see someone paying 75k in sats to settle on chain when pets say someone's yearly salary is 100k sats.


Can some explain to me why fees will continue to rise in terms of total sats if the price of Bitcoin goes up?

I get why it will never be 1 sat per byte again if it gets more use.

But when Bitcoin is 2 million per coin, the price in total sats to settle on chain could be less or more depending on demand.

So wouldn't your 100k sat UTXO be fine?  It will still cost more in fiat terms but total sats should be less of Bitcoin is worth more?

Am I crazy?


Anyone use Blixt wallet? Is it any good


So you don't know the original UTXOs, just that they are now all linked together?


Besides having to buy Bitcoin to seed a new ETF. Do ETFs have to keep buying more bitcoin if people buy more shares?


Do you gain any privacy if you purchase Bitcoin from cash app, then swap it into liquid L BTC. Then collect a bigger amount, then move it from liquid to your cold storage?


I mean to use sparrow wallet to select those 3 UTXOs and send it to a new receive address in the same wallet. To make it a bigger UTXO


If I used whirlpool in sparrow wallet to coinjoin three  sets of 100,000 sats. They went through 4 mixes each.

Do I lose all privacy gained if I consolidate those three UTXOs in the same wallet?

Government schooling is the most destructive thing to ever exist. It's not just the political propaganda & brainwashing, it literally destroys people's minds by not teaching them anything that matters & punishing curiosity.

Think about how insane it is that average person doesn't know how a fucking toilet works. How many things do you depend on every day that you can't even begin to fix or repair? Education should probably start with the systems we depend on most.


Every law is backed by:

Physical violence,
Cages for human beings,
& the threat of death.

If a human in a cage or dead is an uglier condition than the behavior you aim to prevent, or the direct consequences of the undesirable behaviors, then the law or regulation you support makes life worse.


The US has just replaced congressional declarations of war with economic sanctions by executive order.


There’s so many types and I have no clue. 😂


Trying not to make it too difficult.


Steady lads. Deploying more capital.


Your "rights" don't include the ability to impose unearned or undeserved costs on another person.

If I am afraid of an uncontrollable airborne disease, I can stay home, or I can wear a hazmat suit when I go out, but I cannot lock others in their homes to address my fear. I cannot force medications on others to address my fear. Attempting to do so would only make me a tyrant.

If I feel like a woman, I can dress however I want, but I cannot demand that others like or withhold their opinions about the choices I make. I am not entitled to social support from people who disagree with my choices in any area of life.

The only thing my rights are supposed to afford me is freedom from physical harm. People can basically say whatever they want so long as they don't steal or physically attack or make direct violent threats.

These things are not that difficult to understand.

The emergencies they create don't JUST allow them to take more power. They operate on a mafia business model. Riots that scare the normies & make them clamour for police protection, & emergencies that appear so large that "only govt can address them," are important to justify the collection of more "protection money" in the form of new taxes & monetary inflation, & to bolster the religious belief that govt is necessary.

Are badges the Shitcoin of Nostr?

Right now, people are having fun creating badges, awarding badges, and of course receiving badges. Anyone can create them for any reason. Anyone can apply a value for them. There's an infinite supply of them. If this sounds familiar, that's because it's all of Bitcoiners counter-arguements against Shitcoins and NFTs. (We've all said these things.)

Badges aren't intended to be used in this capacity though. Badges are meant to be useful indicators. For example: If you're attending a conference, you'll be awarded a badge. If you're an early adopter of a specific relay, you're awarded a badge. If you're an early adopter or beta tester of a specific Nostr client, you're awarded a badge.

Eventually, badge recipients will be able to display their badges on their profiles. Clients will be able to choose which badges or even which badge providers they want to allow.

Eventually, badges will be reputation based and seem less Shitcoin-esque. Right now, people are just having fun, exploring a new feature.

So, let'em have fun! 🤙

Badges can't be traded. There's no harm in them. Plus, and this is a big plus, there's no fucking Shitcoin associated with them.

(That said, if someone were to charge X amounts of sats for a badge on an external website, there's no stopping anyone from doing this. It's an open protocol. Stay frosty.)

People should be free to use words they want.


storage is cheap, but transferring large amounts of data can be very expensive and in some places not possible

increased bandwidth requirements also make it much more difficult to use Tor and naturally lead to more centralization, both nodes and miners
