Us non-medical people need to seek out trusted sources, then draw our own conclusion base one's specific need.

Here is one trusted source for me.
https://aflds.org/

All government agencies, medical institutions, main stream media, and most social networks have been corporate captured.  I have zero trust in them and it may never be restored.

My Bitcoin, Lightning and nostr Journeys

A collection of articles documenting my adventures with Bitcoin, Lightning, and nostr technologies.


Happy day after.

View of Mt. Baker yesterday.  Yes, it is an active volcano and I hope it doesn't blow.

https://m.primal.net/HRJs.png


Did you try to get Peter to convert to nostr?


It depends on the speaker for me.


Curious if anyone is actively using GPUtopia.ai and your experience with it?

I'm a little leering about it in general.


Maybe share how you are going about this when you have a chance.

Guessing you are using Caddy since you mentioned Golang web server.


I'm using VirtualBox too to host multiple Linux based servers.

Before implementing/upgrading a guest, I make a backup of the guest.  Unless, I'm install a new guest I don't need a new image.

My Linux OS of choice is POP!_OS for the desktop.


Welcome to my Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr Journey Intro

This is my first post of a series on hable.news where I be sharing my journey since 2017.

I'm based on coffee that I haven't drank yet.


Putting this one on my wish list.

Thanks.  Just wondering.  Running PWA and chrome for a while now.


How does one identify what version of NostrNet is running?


Recent remake of Dune (part 1) beets the prior version for me and looking forward to part 2 to be released in 3/2024 time frame.  I read the book many moons ago.

I recently read 'Blind Man's Bluff'.  Cold war submarine stuff.


When one looks at understanding, Bitcoin, Lightning, nostr, and ecash plus all the various wallet choices.  This is overwhelming for most people to the degree they give up on it.

I myself am a little overwhelmed and I've have been at it since 2017.

The complexity hurdle needs to be lower quite a bit before mass adoption can happen.

Key question to ask is, Can Grandma understand and use it?


It's the parent's responsibility to control what their kids do on the internet.

If there are kids on nostr, then they are likely roaming the streets too and getting the same exposure.


It takes a bullet proof horse and rider to pull that off.

Our horses would likely freak out in that scenario.


I created 2 paywall links:

https://pay.zapit.live/paywall/6daQASqQJgVDE6XGwgTr5R
https://pay.zapit.live/paywall/iaLK3K7cDSfqkMN5orzVAU

But after loading the Paywall extensions, it is reporting duplicates.

Walmart and others were pushing Christmas before Halloween.

Consumerism just spoils the whole thing.


I think you are making a dent in it.  Thanks!

Promoting freedom and privacy the best I can.  It is dis-hearting though because so many people just don't give a shit either way.


I'm so ugly people run the other way when they see me.  😉

But, if I was better looking I'd carry a side arm after learning how to use it safely.

I was an IPSC Range Officer in the late nineties and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to carry.

https://www.ipsc.org/


Yep.  LunaNode is great and reasonably priced solution.

But greater is BTCPay Server.   Anyone wanting to run a lightning node should investigate doing it with BTCPay Server.  Its so stupid easy to do so.

I've since shutdown my LunaNode instance in favor of running it in Oracle Cloud free-forever service offering.

As a small node operator, one can't justify the hosting cost given the small amount of forwarding fees collected.

I'm in it for the education so that is how I make sense of it.


Keybase is my messaging, git, vault, and file services to go.  I'll drop Keybase when nostr catches up.


It would likely cost 1000 sats in transfer fees to send 10 sats.  Doing micro payments on chain makes absolutely no sense from a cost prospective.


I was a pro ProtonMail user until just recently when they froze my account for who knows why.

Now, I'm of the mind set to host my own email server to remove yet another dependency.

Anyway after six years of being a paying customer, I'm no longer paying for ProtonMail services nor will I be doing so in the future.

Weird how dependent we've become upon email.


Looks very similar to LNbits.  I'm kicking the tires.


This is cool.  This is one of your projects correct?


Well found it, but after plugging it in it doesn't appear to be working.

https://m.primal.net/HQPX.png


Still looking.  Didn't find it my electronic bone yard, but I know it's around here some where.


$3.45 is cheapest I've found.  But the norm is closer to $4.00.

Last fill up was $3.55.

Prices vary quite widely.


I think that I have one laying around somewhere. Let me check.

I wonder if it is possible to still by blank CDs now days.

I have a whole stack of blank CDs too.


Well if we ever meet in person I’ll be on my best behavior. 😊


At least he has shorts on.


Just HODL BTC and get on with life.  Who knows how is going to work out but it is fun watching the game play out.

I've written off all my shit coins off as a loss and 100% focused only on BTC now days.

Guess we can say we've graduated from the school of hard knocks.  😄


All centralized solution have this risk.  Hopefully, nostr proves to be a shining example of a decentralized solution.

Freedom comes with risks that will always be worth taking.

I will always choose freedom over security.


100% with you.  One just has to look at what has happened to Gold.


I'm blindly going nowhere following me. 😄


SKILLFULLY COMBINED WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER INGREDIENTS.

Hmm... I wonder what those other ingredients are.  😃


OMG.  I bet the ostrich's mom is really pissed off.  😉


Good reason not to waste my time with Bluesky.  I've not been on any those social apps for many many years.  I even avoid Wikipedia now after the covid bullshit.

Really really tough to find trusted sources these days.


I'd say have the senator's and congressmen's families and friends be the first to be on the front line.

They make these decisions with zero risk upon themselves.

With an all volunteer force, what we have now in the enlisted ranks is the poor fighting for the rich.

I witnessed this first hand while serving 4 years in the Navy.


Seeing the potential in anything is a gift that most people do not have.

An opinion like this inspires me to look deeper into what is being dismissed.

Thirteen years ago, I can imagine a lot of people were dismissing bitcoin too.


Good to see people are taking the advice from knowledgeable bitcoiners.

What do call a person who asks for advice but then doesn't follow it?

Askhole.


Trading BTC is the toughest game in town.  I don't do it for that reason.

Risk tolerance are like finger prints, unique to each individual.  You need to set your own margins based on the amount of risk you are willing to take.

I'd start with low risk setting and gradually adjust your margins as your knowledge and confidence grows.

Remember absolutely nobody has a 100% solution. If they claim they do, run the other way.

Good Luck!


Look this cool nostree list 'Shredding the PowerShell Slopes' from nostr:npub1xzuej94pvqzwy0ynemeq6phct96wjpplaz9urd7y2q8ck0xxu0lqartaqn
https://nostree.me/cadayton@nostrplebs.com/aqn1OjJXa


Playing around with all these nostr apps makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.


Been kicking the tires on it.  Looking great so far.   Thanks.


NostrNet it's kool most of the time.


I wonder if 10 years from now those dinner sats will be worth millions?


Last several days it has just increased.


not your data, not in your control


Thanks for the reminder.  I nearly forgot about Nodeless.io.

Here is my donation page.

The choice of font should give it away.  :)


To bad the content quality doesn't go up by the same amount.

Maybe I'm just getting to set in my ways, but from my prospective
Hollywood seems to have went left over the ledge.  I've not seen any
inventive content from them for quite sometime.

I think the first release of Matrix and Avatar are exceptions and looking forward to Dune part 2 release.


You bad boy.  Who cares about YouLessTube any more?


I think the powers to be are worried about having a well informed population.

https://frontline.news/post/globalists-panic-as-homeschooling-explodes-across-us


Thanks.  Will do.


Yet another nail in the coffin for believing in the court systems world wide. They have a ways to go to bet the USA court system though.


Maybe I'm all screwed up, but when I attempt to solve a problem I try to find the root cause.

From my prospective the root cause, is the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the adding of the 16th Amendment (income tax) shortly there after.  Everything is down hill from this point forward.

Compare the Income Tax Revenue to the Corporate Tax Revenue and your thoughts are?

https://www.usdebtclock.org/


Today, I just finished mirroring my Primal and GetAlby setup on a second linux system.

I'm sure that most non-tech people would be intimated by the process.

nostr will likely mature at the same rate as email did.

The other hurdle I see most people do not care about censorship or do not even realize that it is happening.  Only people who have taken the red pill know how screwed up and controlling the governments are.

We can only save those whom wish to be saved.


Desktop icon sort of reminds me of Netscape.


FYI, this installed on my Linux desktop with no issues too.


Ask this question for me.

What caused the sinking of the USS Scorpion


I meant to say: throat punch the dum ass


Cool looking forward to it.

I'm guessing it will OS independent.  Linux is my preference.


Real bitcoiners reload their own ammo.  😄

I highly recommend https://www.dillonprecision.com/


Realizing how insufficient we are should really make us humble.


That is when you say, "Your head in your ass again".   😄


Amen


I sort of do the same same for different stuff, but the motivation is for later recall of what I did and the steps taken to get there.


Just be prepared for a long journey regardless of which language you choose to learn.

One can do simple stuff very quickly with any language but to truly master any language takes time. It will be about 2 years of constant coding before you start to feel like an expert at it.

Best advice I have is find existing Rust projects that are of interest and thoroughly understand it's implementation.  Basically, be a maintenance programmer for a period of time before embarking on any solo projects.


Price of Gold 2008 ~2k /oz  price of Gold 2023 ~2k/oz.  Guess it's better than keeping cash in a bank account.

Suggest he change his name to, noROI. 😄


Lastly and likely most important, be sure your Watch Tower client is configured and working properly.


I ran BOW_UBETCHA for 8 months on TOR only.   I think there was one maybe 2 force closes, but I chalked it up the operator didn't know what they were doing.

BOW_UBETCHA is still running but I don't have any channels open on it today.

My cloud instance is still running SANJOSE_UBETCHA though.

Anyway, if you have good channel partners forced closes should not be an issue for you.  LNServer will provide liquidity for your node for free check into it.  They are on nostr.


If you are running from home on your start9 LN node, why would you want to have clearnet enabled?  Tor will work just fine and be more secure for you.

I been running a LN node for almost a year now in the cloud and at home.  The best take away for doing so is the education one gains.  If the cloud service wasn't at zero cost, I'd be in the red with absolutely no hope of ever getting into the black.

If you are running LND node, be aware it is still beta so risk your funds accordingly.


Yes it is called the "School of Hard Knocks".  For some reason, we can't heed advice from others who are wiser than our self.

Your experience sounds like a very familiar one.


Yesterday, Protonmail suspended my account for unknown reason(s).  Trying to get a resolution through their support (email only), is almost impossible.

Bottom line is I'm going to drop Protonmail like a hot rock.

Anyway,  I'm wondering if anyone is working on a nostr-email bridge? I'm thinking it would be get if say my @getalby.com account could work for both the wallet and as an email address too.

This is a good example of why to avoid anything that is centralized.


A less professional response would have been, 'fuck off'.


Biden will pardon him.  😄


I've been getting up to speed on using Flutter/Dart.  Finding good tutorials to help me over the hump is difficult, so the learning process is very very slow.   But anyone who masters Flutter/Dart, they can really develop some great projects.

Best tutorial that I found so far is:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-codelab-first?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.google.com%2Flearn%2Fpathways%2Fintro-to-flutter%2523codelab-https%3A%2F%2Fcodelabs.developers.google.com%2Fcodelabs%2Fflutter-codelab-first#0


AcceptLN.com is a low overhead way for new users to start their journey into LN.

It all worked without issues for me.

https://m.primal.net/HPHx.png


Getting schooled on Flutter/Dart.


Yes brush your teeth and get the COVID jab.  So f'ing insane.


I've never had a use for stable coins, but I see why BTC traders like them.

Only time will tell the truth.


More than zero.


You should have just throat pushed the dum ass.


Just tried to zap you and received the following.
https://m.primal.net/HPDm.png


It would be interesting to know which apps (LN and nostr) are work the best for you.

Congratulation.  This is on my bucket list too.


Sorry it's tough to be in that spot.

Here is a goal to work towards.  Plan on home schooling your kids which means one of the parents need to be the home maker and teacher.  You'll never regret making this change.


Well if transaction fees are this low does it matter?
https://m.primal.net/HOxw.png


Agreed.  It is a divide and conquer game.   Always keep an open mind to cut through the bullshit we are being feed.


For mobile, just toying with Zeus linked to Alby and Blue Wallet link to LNbits wallet.  I think maybe a grand total of $4.00 to play with.  I hope an A-hole wastes their time trying to hack me.

LND node hosted using BTCPay Server in the cloud.

Full Node using native and docker implementations, bitcoind, LND (inactive), RTL, Fulcrum, Mempool, BTC-RPC-Explorer and Sparrow Wallet with a balance of zero.

I've avoid those node in a box solutions because I just like working closely with each software component and doing my own thing with them.


When one recommends custodial and self-hosted, why are we not providing and additional warning about using beta software in their stack.

Anyway, I just find this odd.

This saying comes to mind, 'A chain is no stronger than it's weakest link'


We are destroying Earth, so lets start working on Mars next.

Our priorities are all screwed up and as long as war is our only means of solving conflicts, then humanity is doomed.

Let just set off the nukes now and get it over with. 😃


I've been testing out Onionshare.  Anyone wanting private file sharing, chatting, or Web Hosting via Tor may want to check this out.

Oracle Cloud is charging $0/year for a 4 core/Arm64 with 24G memory and 200GB storage.


Better late that never, I guess.   Hopefully, most bitcoiners are avoiding mainstream media now.


I think you mean.   bitcoin-cli -getinfo


it is just bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo

I'd add that BTCSession would be a trusted tutor is my mind.


Safest computer in the world is one that is turned off.  Regardless of the software stack be used have it implemented on dedicated hardware or better a dedicated VM.  With the VM approach, it easy to back up the whole system as many times as needed and had off to love ones when you are no longer around.


Kick Microsoft OS to the curb.  They have abandon the individual along time ago.  Go to system76.com and get your linux base system you'll never regret doing so.  !Pop_OS is the way to go.


Here is a guide I put together several years ago.  I wouldn't say it is for a non-technical user though.  But one with the capacity to learn should be able to follow along.

https://cadayton.onrender.com/modules/Moolah/Moolah.html


non-technical? Means they don't know how to use a computer or install and configure software.  That is a tough one.

-What guides?
    I'd say find a friend or family member who you trust and knows about bitcoin and their way around a computer.

   Find a trusted tutor to teach you the ins and outs of Bitcoin.

-Where to buy?
   Always without exception no-kyc.
   Bisq.Network - complicated P2P trading not for beginners.
   Robosats.com - very simple P2P trading using lightning and Tor Browser

   Need a dedicated bank account for fiat/BTC transactions only. Bank will freeze your account if they discover what you are doing.  Tell them transactions are for services rendered.

-How to store it?
  I prefer my own cold storage solution but worst case buy one of the devices online.  Be aware these companies that you buy your device from will sell you out to the government if it every comes to that.


Been self-custody and cold storage for next to ever.

Getting my grandson onboard to do the same.


Time will tell.

Predominantly most of the lightning software is all in beta mode so risking a large amount of sats in any wallet doesn't make sense to me, but it is great for experimenting with though.

I have Zeus linked to my Alby account and BlueWallet linked to one of my LNbits wallets (testcad@lnaddress.com).  Also, I have one of my LNbits wallets backing Cashu for playing with ecash.

LNbits is one I like playing with because there is lots of integration packages and a REST API as well.

When the lightning network is largely ran by non-beta software, I'll start looking at self-custody wallets.


Cool.  I'll have to read up on this plug in.  Thanks.


I've given up on MIcrosoft.


You probably realize that purchasing Bitcoin is difficult too...


When I can purchase Jade at a local gas station or coffee shop, I'll consider it.


I'd have to know more about how secure storing sensitive data in a note is.

For now, a better choice would be storing your nsec is a private offline vault.  At the Enterprise level, HashiCorp has a vault solution and at an individual level, Keybase has a vault solution.

I've been using this for sometime without any issues.

https://cadayton.onrender.com/PodeWeb/PW-KVExplorer.html


Because TestFlight requires some sort of invite code to register.  Although it is advertised as Open Beta no mention of how to obtain an invite.

This wastes my time and pisses me off.


Great now they are blaming the jab side effects on Covid itself.  WRONG.


My  gossip reading indicates institutional investors demand is causing the pump.

Darn, I was hoping individuals were finally waking up.


rebel


For those running their own LND node these fields can be obtained as follows.

Macaroon (HEX)
xxd -p -c2000 /$HOME/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/invoices.macaroon

Certificate
xxd -p -c2000 /$HOME/.lnd/tls.cert

I verified this with Alby support.


Yes.  See:
https://primal.net/e/note1rq4aza5gff4dnaj7lm9c6js55ag6kkeg80khyq790vjr2xngh2nst9af9r

Has a ways to go yet.


It will continue to go up, down and sideways.  😄


Not surprised.

Does one think these security firms are really wanting to have a solid security offering that can't be hacked?

Why is it there isn't an air tight open source solution to security currently other than turn off your computer or mobile phone?

I think part of the reason is big brother always wants the option of hacking into your computer.

Anyone dependent upon third party solutions will always be at risk.


Report your zaps.  OMG!  I won't go quietly.


Another win for nostr.


Thanks for sharing.  Worked great for me.


Why is getting connected to the beta via testflight such a f'ing nightmare.  Makes me not want to test anything on the f'ing apple phone.


I bet that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Unfortunately, herding people on a common cause is like herding cats.

The number of people in the US holding bitcoin is likely still a very small percentage.


Its time dogs get there fair share pict time.

https://m.primal.net/HOJU.png

Shorty has my heart.


I thought pink elephants were protected.  😉


Some small corrections.

The correct path from the Alby account interface is  Settings > Connect to your node.

Since I run manual installation of LND, it wasn't clear how to get the correction values to place in the first 2 fields.  So this sent me an multiple hour journey to get the answers.

I posted the following question to Alby support for confirmation.

Macaroon (hex)
The value outputted from the following command?
xxd -ps -u -c 1000 /home/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/invoices.macaroon

Certificate (hex)
The value between the 'Begin' and 'End' Certificate delimiters from openssl.
openssl x509 -fingerprint -in ~/.lnd/tls.cert.


No argument from me on that.  For whatever reason we are here, if we can find a little enjoyment not at the expense of other life forms or our planet we should go for it.

It about 5 million years Earth will not exist, so we do have sometime to get it right.  I wonder what the odds of success are?


Thanks for the post!  I might have a total of $4.73 in Alby so not worried about losing it.

For me just gaining knowledge about all things nostr and lightning is what the game is all about.  ecash too.

In the grand scale of the Universe, nothing we do really matters anyway.  So,  I just seek enjoyment where ever I can find it.


Had to donate a small amount to opensats for all their great work and support.

US debt has entered the event horizon.

Hope everyone has some bitcoin.


If someone is getting too dorkish, I just mute them regardless of the topic.


Giving your time and labor to a worthy cause or someone in need is called charity.  We could use more that.


Yes we are like fly's in the universe.  We eat shit and live a short life.


Pitching manure.  Almost a daily activity for me, but I'd rather pitch Bitcoin it  pays and smells better.


Your in good company.


The free world is just a myth now days.  That is why we are Bitcoin rebels right.


And when Christ returns they will kill him again.


Hope all have followed nostr:npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp and if possible volunteered to assist.  If anyone else gets elected, we are in deep shit.

https://www.kennedy24.com/


Ditto. I been seeing the same.  Followers with zero notes.


You have my vote.  Many thanks for taking on this extremely difficult job.


Gm.

Anyone know what is going with Mercury Wallet.  I heard it was being discontinued, but nothing published about the new direction if any.

I liked Mercury Wallet's method of transacting off-chain.


I was wondering why there was a big price jump on Sunday.

In the long term, I'm not sure ETFs will benefit the everyday person that much.  Seems like a tool for the big institutions to game the market.


Really.  Given most open-source is being hosted from Github which is controlled by Microsoft, I'd say this is a risk to open source projects.

Tornado Cash is a good example of this risk.


I listen to any of the major media outlets to get an alternative prospective on most stuff.

Joe Rogan has a knack of cutting through the bullshit.

Other than that it is real tough getting to the truth of most stuff, so I question everything.

Best of advice that I have is to look at what is going on around you and your community and use your common sense.

I wonder how many people still belief terrorists were behind 911.  I about throw a rock through the TV every time I see that Hollywood propaganda about 911.


I've been experimenting with creating a Lightning Pay Link using LNBits extension LNURLp.

Found this acticle very helpful in getting a better understanding of lightning addresses.
https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-lightning-address

With the LNURLp extension, I was able to create the following Pay Links.
   One with a lighting address of neversatsified@legend.lnbits.com
   One with a lighting address of cribjock@legend.lnbits.com

That guy is spot on.  I love it that he didn't have any filters.  It should be easy to sell him on bitcoin.

Without a draft in the USA, what has basically happened is the poor people are fighting for the rich people.  The intent by our forefathers was that this burden be shared by all equally.

I was in the service when it transitioned from all male to male/female.  It was so f'ing dum to do so.   The part that was lost is trust in other males because almost always they would think with their little head rather than their big head.


Already have both running.  Running full node, fulcrum, LND (no channels), RTL, LITD, Sparrow, and Mempool (docker) on home system (Linux !Pop_OS).  The hardware is all solid state but wouldn't call it cheap though.

On Oracle Cloud, I have a Ubuntu instance running BTCPayServer (docker) running LND node, SANJOSE_UBETCHA.  Zero cost for hosting on ARM64 processors (4x) with 24GB memory and 200GB storage as well.  Hard to beat that price.

Both implementations, fairly automated using PowerShell.  Rare combination I know.

My next hardware purchase will come from https://system76.com


roger. 👍

Robosats is continuing to grow.

https://m.primal.net/HNSK.png


100% agree.  I would add that the data repository for the password manager should be in cold storage too.

For instance, I use KeePassXC and the password database is only available when actually retrieving sensitive info.

Also I use the Keybase KV feature (online vault) for easy access to sensitive info.  I've developed web app for automated access to the KV feature.  DM me if interested it is an OS neutral solution.


So far Primal has been working the best for me.  My choice is using the desktop rather than mobile phone.

Damus on the iPhone is working for me but don't use it much.  Also Primal has an IOS version in Testflight that I've not used.


Thought I try out Hostr for hosting SPA.
https://h.hostr.cc/p/a5a44e2a531efcc86491c4b9a3fa67daee8f60c9d2757a12eed95d98c5d6fc42/d/hostr-lp?ref=nobsbitcoin.com#what-is-hostr

Is was fairly simple to put into place, but it took awhile for the page to be pushed out to the relay.  It is now quite there yet in my opinion but judge for yourself.

Primal Web misbehaving so trying out Coracle for awhile.


LNbits is worth checking into, plus the lightning wallet can be used to fund your own cashu mint.


Leaves me wondering who is on the receiving end.  Not I.


My thoughts were the same back in 2017.  BTC purist now though.  Do your research and don't take anyone's word for it.


Key pitfall to avoid is buying non-BTC crypto.  We've all done it that is why I say don't do it.  But if you want to go through the school of hard knocks its your choice.


The starting point for everyone is different because of their back ground.

Is there someone close to you like a friend or family member that you trust and are into BTC?  If so I would start there.

If you are comfortable with your computer skills, here is where I started in 2017.

 https://cadayton.onrender.com/modules/Moolah/Moolah.html


As adoption grows, It would not surprise me to see these so called freedom loving governments make owning BTC illegal to own or put a 90% tax on it.

Local farmer, I asked would you take BTC for half side of beef.  Reply no I don't understand computer stuff.

Local farmer, I asked would you take BTC for that ton of hay.  No,  I have bills to pay that require fiat.

What to buy my 2012 NIssan Maxima using BTC?  It is yours for $10,000 or 10% off if BTC used.  There must be a nostr market place, I would imagine.


Thanks for the web site.  It is a good reference that I've bookmarked.

For orange pilling, my first step is to educate them on the current fiat system.  The rest should sell itself.

Choose better platform to host your speech on. Most of your supports are likely on Nostr.


Been off main stream media for close to a year now.  But did recently tune to what I was not missing. 😀


To win the war,  the FED and 16th amendment must be illuminated.  Just trading BTC for fiat doesn’t win the war.


Overview of the script I'm working on.

On going LNbits API journey.

https://m.primal.net/HNHi.png


I avoid all centralized exchanges because I see them as part of the problem.


Thanks for the opensats reminder.  They are really support outstanding projects.


So far I've resisted getting any gadgets to do the work that one should be able accomplish with code.

I do realize most have no interest in coding, so it is good that there are gadgets available.


I've spending the last several days getting up to speed on using Alby's alby-wallet-api and eCash in general.

  LnBits provides the ability host your cashu mint and fund it from one or more lightning wallets. Then with either Cash.me or eNuts one
  can reference these mints. Anyway, this has really help me understand eCash better.  I've been testing with the desktop implementation of Cash.me on Linux.

LnBits additionally has extensions that can be enabled along with Rest API for each.

LnBits is really hitting out of the ballpark.

On my Linux system, I've development a PowerShell script to call multiple REST Api entry points.

Keybase does everything but email (I'll most).


Dah.  As you said, "Czech Republic"


I was told the average wage was $1200 per year not per month.  Given your info, I'm wonder what the typical worker in China is earning.  Basically, excluding the management level workers.

60% tax burden.  Holy Shit! Were in the H do you live?


Not sure how true this is, but I've heard that Proton Mail pretty much knuckles under to any legal requests.  Supposedly, the account will be notified of any such request.  I've been using ProtonMail for over 2 years now.

Personally, I think Keybase is way undervalued for the privacy it provides.


It just boils down to labor cost.  Its hard to compete against the slave labor market in China.  Given a choice, I always buy products not made in China for this reason.

Five years ago while in Singapore, I ran into the CEO of a plastic manufacturing company.  He said, his company  wouldn't be competitive if they didn't use China's slave labor.  At that time, $1,200/year was consider upper middle class in China.


Personally, my preference is 100% Bitcoin and Linux but definitely hooked on PowerShell and Vscode though.

In my opinion, it is best to experience Linux without WSL.


lncli listchannels

Will also provide HTLCs per channel.

Working great so far.  I've been using Primal but for some reason it doesn't appear to be updating frequently.


GN.  I have no regrets in declining the jab mandate and losing my job.

More and more evidence is slowly surfacing.

RFK Jr. is running as a independent now.  This is my choice.

I've been running my node (SANJOSE_UBETCHA)  for 10 months now for free.

Maybe a good starting point.

https://m.primal.net/HMiL.png


Yep.  US government addicted to spending.  They know they can always increase our income tax without cause.

This is one of the biggest reasons the Fed and the 16th Amendment need to be shit canned.

I wonder what is the point of having sound money, if it is just evaporated by taxes.


We all need to go through the school of hard knocks, I guess.


Thought this email from https://aflds.org/ is worth sharing.

Fully 52% of all Americans say they will “probably” or “definitely” NOT get the new Covid jab. Wow! What a dramatic change from 20% last year. The elite call this vaccine hesitancy. I call it being informed. And I’m proud that AFLDS played a crucial role in this shift.

People are no longer embracing these experimental injections, but instead they are scrutinizing their effectiveness and safety. These days, information is often manipulated, suppressed, or censored to serve the interests of the ruling authority - but AFLDS continues to bring you the lifesaving facts.

Our medical experts refused to be silenced during the most critical moments of the COVID-19 “Plandemic.” In the face of relentless government pressure, pharmaceutical giants, health agencies, and tech company censorship, AFLDS stood firm, unwavering in our pursuit of truth and medical freedom.

AFLDS Warned You When Others Stood Silent

At the onset of the pandemic, while many cowered in fear, I, along with the AFLDS network of doctors, raised our voices, questioned the narrative, challenged the status quo, and tirelessly shared evidence-based research that contradicted the mainstream narrative. My message was clear: COVID-19 was manageable but the apocalyptic brainwashing was a real threat.

Proven Right Against All Odds

Despite being deplatformed and censored by tech giants, I persisted in my mission to reveal the truth. Time has shown that I was right all along. The effectiveness of treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, which I championed, has been acknowledged by medical experts worldwide. Also, the efficacy of masks, which I have debunked from the beginning, is now recognized as propaganda.

I also sounded the alarm about the vaccine, highlighting life-threatening risks that were often downplayed, disregarded and censored by the Biden administration, “health” agencies, and the state-run media.

Now, one of the most damning Covid vaccine studies has just been released challenging the notion that it saved ANY lives overall, even suggesting it increased mortality rates worldwide! I do not find this at all surprising - AFLDS predicted this in October 2020.

Championing Medical Freedom

In an increasingly threatening environment, where questions were met with either indifference or open hostility, I remained steadfast in my dedication to ensuring that you have the information needed to make informed medical decisions.

Your right to exercise autonomy and choose your medical path has always been at the forefront of my unwavering commitment. And it still is.

Hope this screen shot is familiar to everyone.

Excellent x 10.

I think it is important to know whom the enemies of freedom are and I know why you'd like to avoid this topic.

For me the first nail in the coffin came with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 (Banking cartel) followed shortly there after by the 16th Amendment (individual income tax).  Today, individuals are unfairly taxed to death while the corporation get almost a free ride in comparison.

I often wonder, if USD was still backed by gold, would bitcoin even exist.

The enemy has been in place for over a hundred years now and it would be foolish to think they won't go down without a fight.

I believe history has proved that major change requires major blood shed.

My hope is we can prove history wrong.


Oh man.  Guess I'm lucky to not have seen any child porn yet.

But I agree new users shouldn't be exposed to porn of any age group.

I wonder if X or other social media are porn attacking, nostr.

Maybe best to have a default filter for this type of content.


Individuals should be able to censor as one sees fit.  I don't need someone doing this for me.

When I see prevented content or someone who is constantly being a dork I just mute the user.

Given the current state of nostr, if would be off limits to any young children.


Amazing!  Can't tell if it is like voice over movies though.  😉


Going to spend a portion of the day determining if lightningnetwork.plus Watch Swap is worth doing.  Currently, hosting my own watch tower from home but have had several internet issues this year.


There is a bit of a hurdle when experiencing nostr for the first time.  It appears to be less of a hurdle now than 8 months ago.

Add Individual tax revenue vs Corporate Tax revenue to the list.


Cheapest transaction fees that I've seen in sometime.

When you start seeing this you'll know bitcoin has reached mass adoption.

https://cadayton.onrender.com/images/HomelessQR.png


Well in that case.  Just check the mempool to be sure fees are not sky high and buy as much as possible at one time.  I would hold for at least 2 years or better.


Go noKYC all the way.  Robosats.com would be my recommendation.


Lost my job on 4/2/2022 because I refused the company jab mandate.

Run the other way when COVID jab is recommended.

Not that I've heard

My favorites are shell fish. Likely since I'm from the Pacific Northwest.  Dungeness crab is at the top of the list followed by oysters.

My receipt for Oysters is:

1 Quart/Pint medium sized Oysters
1 to 2 packs of regular saltine crackers
3 to 4 eggs beatened in a bowl

1. Rinse Oysters thoroughly in cold water
2. In a gallon zip lock bag crush saltine crackers as fine as possible. I use a roller pin.
3. Place a portion of the crushed crackers into a bowl.
4. In a frying pan with cooking oil turned to medium.
5. Place rinsed oysters into the egg bowl.
6. Bread each oyster in the crushed cracker bowl and place into the frying pan on medium heat.
7. Cook until each oyster is golden brown on each side.

Note: work with 2 hands.  One hand used only in the egg bowl and the other hand only used the crush cracker bowl.

What is the current version?  Apple store is reporting v0.7.7 one month a go.

Maybe show the info about the recently released version in the app so we know Apple is just being an ahole.


Looks like this version hasn't made it to the Apple store yet.


Dating myself, but I remember the day when there were only mainframes.


It won't likely happen in my life time, but I think the end goal is for everyone to have some BTC/sats.  When that day comes,  there won't be a need for fiat anymore.


We know you are insane that's why we follow you.  😉


I'm thinking more like "tired of seeing porn on nostr".  Then subscribe to this relay and we'll filter this out for you.

OR

Do you have young children using 'nostr' then subscribe to this relay which filter out content not appropriate for young children.


Guess I'm missing why paid relays are adding value to an individual nostr user.

Maybe focus more on the value add rather than the techie stuff behind the paid relay.


Cool.  I have a similar setup.  Zeus (iPhone) linked to desktop Alby extension.

I run my own Lightning node (SANJOSE_UBETCHA) which was implemented with a BTCPayServer (docker) running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Anyway I was considering connecting either BlueWallet or Zeus to my lightning wallet on my lightning node.

After more research there is plugin on BTCPayServer called LndHub API that can be used to connect either Zeus or BlueWallet.

The BlueWallet attempt is failing for me right now.  I guessing the port is not open on the OCI vm instance.

Anyway, the whole reason for doing this is to (maybe) make balancing the payment channels less of a headache.


Likely the biggest learning curve is going to be with the nostr client and getting him setup with that.

I've tried various nostr clients which total turned me off to nostr.   Anyway, Primal.net client has been working the best for me.

I went with Alby/Zeus both basic installs no issue.


How about some basic instructions on how to upgrade and potential impact if something goes south.

Also might expose the current running version in the Web UI too.  Took me awhile to find the current running version from the browser extension management section.

Thanks for Alby.  So far it has been working great for me.


GM.  Enjoying my first Latte too.


Installed BlueWallet on my iPhone and I'm considering importing my lightning node wallet.

Anyway I'm having second thoughts about entering my seed phrase on the iPhone.

Thoughts?


Well now that masked mandates are returning, I wonder if the following mask would be acceptable TSA mask.  Should increase privacy too.  😉

I only see 475 followers.  You are one closer to 500.


Do I need an invite to get this running on my iPhone?  Thanks.


Hasn't happened to me yet.  Have you experienced this or heard of others who have?


Been running Bitcoin core unpruned from home server for sometime now and restricted to using TOR only.

Also, I have a lightning node, SANJOSE_UBETCHA instance running on Oracle Cloud  Infrastructure.  If this wasn't a free-forever service, from a cost prospective it wouldn't make financial sense to run a lightning node.


Provided one has an internet connection its is possible to learn about Bitcoin almost anywhere.

More importantly one needs to understand why fiat money is a ponzi scheme.

Might we already be there?  High Priority currently, 31 sat/vB ($1.18).

Can't remember that last time I saw unconfirmed transactions under 500m.


Its Monday!


But I downloaded Bitcoin core from GitHub too so likely already being tracked.  Oh well.


But when you download SeedSigner code from GitHub wouldn't that be easy to track?  MS isn't very trust worthy.  Also, I think MS shutdown Tornado Cash code on GitHub.


Don't  like the fact whatever hard wallet device one gets, one can be tracked they have the device.

Remember the Ledger hack.

I'm sure those companies will knuckle under to any entity requesting sale information.

Given that, I prefer to roll my own cold storage solution.

Installed and kicking the tires.


Do you really trust those sources?  I expect those numbers to set whatever supports the narrative they are pushing.

Trust your own experience over their bullshit.


I mute any main stream media content both on nostr and everwhere else too.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.

The only way to win without bleed shed is for people to put aside their petty differences and focus on holding these people accountable.

When need more people like you, Edward.


"The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently."

From Vietnam till now, these people have not ever been held accountable.

If a robber is never accountable for their crime, they will continue to rob.

Edward, a very deep thank you for having the balls to stand up for freedom.

You are my hero.


Yet another major event that America's were lied to about.

The first words out of my father-in-law mouth who was the CEO of Mason Construction was "This is a demolition".  It wasn't later until I learned about building 7 coming down in the same manner that those words rang true.

We really need to remove these neocons who are behind all of this.

Bottom line is don't believe shit you hear from US Government or main stream media.

Now we've moved from Covid-19 to the Ukraine with all the same shit being pulled.

This is not going to end until we grow the balls to stop it.


The ghost prompt on Primal should be changed from "say something on nostr.." to "say something interesting on nostr...". Just a thought.

Around 2008 or so, I woke up to the downside fiat money by reading "The Creative from Jekyll Island".  What an eye opener that was for me.  At that time I moved a large portion of savings into gold.

It wasn't until 2017 or so that I woke up to BTC.

It is amazing to me that most Americans (supposedly high educated) have absolutely no clue on how the financial system works.  Looking back on my schooling, we were never truly educated about it.  Since the US government dedicates the education agenda (a power not given to the three branches), we've been duped.

Anyway my points is, it is really hard to orange pill someone who is ignorant about the workings of fiat money.

A must read is "The Creative from Jekyll Island" which was last publish 1994 way before BTC.  So no up selling potential to BTC with this read.

I've not read "Broken Money" yet but plan to.  This might be the next starting point.

Its always 5PM somewhere.


Here is another thought.

As a parent would you allow your young children uncontrolled access to 'nostr' at this time?  I wouldn't.  Nor would I allow them uncontrolled access to TV.


Build it and they will come.  Focus on quality censorship resistance not quantity.  Also, keep the mute user option so we have the option avoiding dump shits.


Until fiat on/off ramps are no longer needed this is going to be an issue.


Oracle Cloud offers a free-forever hosting and I've been running a lightning node on it for about 9 months now at no hosting cost.

According to memspool.space there where about 19 lightning nodes on OCI when I started and at this time there are still only about 19 nodes.  People must be asleep in their lazy boy chair.

Given this, what needs to happen is getting the word out about how to support nostr by running your own relay.  Then semi technical people can go spin up a relay on OCI at zero cost.


cashu is taking a step further in reducing the overhead of understanding.


Connected.  How did you go about implementing the relay?


XIT


For a people with the technical skills, there easy ways to protect your information in a cold storage fashion.

Remember when Ledger was hacked?

If I fail, I only want myself to blame.


Might add that I think the absolute best option is to find people in your local community willing to buy/sell BTC to you.

I'm surprise to see there isn't more effort out there trying to bring people together to trade among themselves.

I guess it is because someone is always wanting to get in on the trade by charging a small fee.


I used Bisq many moons ago, but in my opinion it has become way to complex to use.

Robosats is so straight forward and easy to use I'd recommend starting with it.


Regardless of who we vote for, the odds of them following through on their promises are slim to none.

I wonder if everyone said we are not voting in protest would the message get delivered.

Yeap.  The upper management running the entertainment industry has been the US propaganda machine for quiet sometime now.

As for enlisted part of the services, it is the poor enlisting to support the rich.  So much for sharing the risk across the board.

But, the biggest problem is the neocons waging uncontrolled wars at their whim.


You'll a fare amount of time muting the dorks who post abrasive content.


1971 was just the final nail in the sound money coffin.  The banking cartel implementation in 1913 (Federal Reserve) and the 16th amendment are the first 2 nails.


Interesting and thanks for sharing.

Always wondered why I would want to mix my good coins with bad coins.


Don't expect common sense to rule.

Governments and Corporations want to have absolute control over everything an individual does.

They do not want privacy.  Anything that offers privacy to an individual is consider a treat.


https://www.usdebtclock.org/   Compare individual income tax collected versus corporate tax collected.  If this doesn't piss you off, then you are very mellow person.


Hopefully the day for not needing on/off fiat ramps comes sooner than later.


Did the same.  nodeless.io  is looking really like an attractive option.  I'll have to look into it deeper.


I refused to get the jab so I'm no longer a T-Mobile employee.
