Yes sir! You gave me the intro some time ago.

Good on you for prioritizing balance and taking action. That takes a lot of courage. I'm struggling with that now and feel like I'm missing out on my kid's childhood. But I also need to provide.

Looks like they came from one of the sides, so my suspicions could very well be unsubstantiated. We'll see what comes of it.

Politicians do shady shit. Why fake it? Attention and headlines. Is it fake? I have no idea. But like I said, missed shots hit something and there was a crowd of people behind him.

2024-07-13 22:32:34

- reply

That's what I mean. I would expect missed shots to hit something behind the target... But it grabs headlines.

2024-07-13 22:29:01

I'm suspicious. Nobody in the crowd behind or around him got hit?

I found something online that has worked for me. Put bacon on baking sheet (optionally on a rack on the baking sheet for extra crispness). Put in oven. Set to 425. By the time it is heated to the temperature, the bacon should be done depending on thickness.

I thought this was set up to only go to the relay(s) you have set in "private relays." Am I mistaken?

I'm not knowledgeable in this area at all (yet), but I'm in Central Florida as well and just put in a mango and a tangerine tree. Apparently they both grow well in our climate.

I use umbrel for non-bitcoin things and Start9 for my node. I like the quantity that Umbrel has for an easy home server and the security that Start9 has for Bitcoin software.

Strike tracks and reports to the govt as required, but we have to compile everything from any other sources, come with with the cost basis and calculate gains using the FIFO method. It's a huge pain.

2024-04-28 19:34:22

- reply

If you don't give a basis, I believe they assume it to be $0. I've tried the automated software, but a good old fashioned spreadsheet does the job better.

Well damn. This was my backup wallet in case my node messed up.

Yes. Drives me nuts.

2024-04-21 17:40:22

I use Boltz exchnage for this. You put in the address you want the btc to go to and pay the swap lightning invoice so the swap only involves one on chain transaction. Can be done the other way around as well.

I run a node. I believe your tutorials helped me in my lightning journey. Are you saying that the insane fees are a result of the halving and not degens and their shitcoin scams? The fees are already falling compared to last night.

2024-04-20 14:05:10

- reply

It's not about NGU. It's about quantity goods and services go up. Thinking purely about number of sats you receive is missing the point of a noninflationary asset IMO.

Perfect phrasing, lol

Same. "The books are better" crowds will always try to ruin book-based shows and movies. They CAN both be good.

For real. Gotta replace my roof pretty soon. All those potential sats going to the literal roof over my head.

Air Force here too, man. The VA is a dumpster fire. Definitely reach out to Bitcoin Veterans. They are full if resources. Have you tried to work with a VA lawyer? I'm in the process of doing that now since my first round didn't go as well as it should have.

For now just for my lightning address. I'm not overly paranoid, but I do appreciate privacy from the general public.

2024-03-24 14:14:24

I haven't had any luck finding a tutorial on setting up the webserver. I'm kinda learning as I go. At the moment I have an address that uses Fiatjaf's server with my domain. Do you know of any "easy to follow" resources?

2024-03-23 12:41:02

- reply

Easy! Go online, order a Pixel, flash GrapheneOS (or one of the other ironically non-google systems for the google phone), download Amethyst with Obtainium from Github, and lose the Apple slave tech 😆
Mostly joking. I know it's a hard ecosystem to get out of once you're in. I don't know anything about the Apple clients, though.

2024-03-23 12:19:00

Amethyst does a good job of this.

2024-03-22 14:42:19

- reply

To connect to your node, I like Zeus. Their integrated node seems to work well too. Mutiny is popular, but I had my channel force close for seemingly no reason and got rugged (never got those sats back). Otherwise, I've had no issues with Phoenix wallet as a backup to my personal node.
But seeing as how popular they are, I'd guess you've tried them and don't like them.

Lurking can be eye opening too! The people of nostr have exposed me to a lot. Books, programs, companies, groups, events, etc that I would never have known otherwise. I generally don't have a lot to say, but I enjoy learning from smart people.

2024-03-19 12:27:13

- reply

I might be missing it, but where would I pick it up from? And could I just pay you sats in person instead of filling out my address info on the website?

2024-03-18 12:18:01

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and missing the connection.

2024-03-18 12:15:22

Is that really a fair comparison? A version of the protocol itself vs one of many methods of self custody security?

2024-03-17 23:41:48

- reply

Amethyst plus Amber for signing. Then you can keep your nsec in one place and out of the client. More native apps should use it. I'm not sure why they don't.

2024-03-17 23:37:27

Sorry I missed this. I use Amethyst almost exclusively. I try Primal occasionally, but never see a reason to switch.

2024-03-17 23:02:18

I see ya. I doubt any actual Bitcoiner would go along with that scenario. But what do I know?

Took the little one to a farm, swam in the pool, and Stacked more Sats today. It was a good day for future Devin.

I would think you can, though it isn't something I've looked into, so I'd do a little digging on that. Maybe someone here can answer that question with more certainty.

2024-03-15 16:11:12

Honestly, if you are considering moving back to Apple anyway, you may as well give it a shot first. Try for a few weeks or so and if it's not your thing, no harm done.

Its my daily driver and works without issue.

I use a Pixel with GrapheneOS and love it. You don't really need to change the way you use it if you are just looking for a way to keep big brother Goog off your back.

This book is amazing! I'm a little over half way through it and hooked. I was already fully orange pilled, but if I wasn't, 21 would finish the job. Excellent job of combining real world happenings with the fictional aspects. I'd keep buying if you keep writing!

Sweet! I've got some more learning to do, lol. Bitcoin has really caused me to up my tech knowledge game. I had never assembeled a computer or touched CLI before I decided to run a node.

I've been running my lightning node on a NUC with relative reliability, but I'm definitely looking for ways to upgrade to prevent issues in the future.
As a starting point for my research, what does your Lightning Node setup look like as far as hardware is concerned?

I'm curious too. Zeus has been working great for me.

I've tested it on the pixel tablet and like it a lot. I've been back and forth on buying the Pixel 8 with some of my sats while they have holiday discounts to get all the way out of the Google ecosystem.

2023-12-05 17:21:46

It looks like one of my peers closed a channel on me with a 11.2 sat/vB fee rate for the closing transaction. Currently mempools are purging <12.9 sat/vB. I don't see a way to bump the fee. What comes next?

I would love to use my zeuspay lnurl on my external node for zaps, but ran into routing issues that hung them up. I thought that strange since I have large channels open to well connected nodes with plenty of inbound liquidity. But that aside, I want to bypass that issue all together by having a channel open directly to Olympus. Is there any way to make that happen?

2023-11-21 01:04:59

This is a great take. I've had fun learning and building my node(s), but there is definitely a level of crazy needed lol

2023-11-18 16:20:16

Why is robosats an issue for us the the US? I use it regularly without issue and the premiums are actually fairly competitive relative to other non-kyc options. But I believe you can also purchase on Strike and Kraken via LN as well if you need to add outbound liquidity. I may very well be missing something that you're seeing, though.

My favorite episode so far. I hadn't heard of Paul before but have since started listening to his content and have been moving toward an animal based diet. Plus started buying meat, organs, and dairy my from local farms.
The crazy thing is that most of my life I have avoided real dairy because I thought I was lactose intolerant. Those problems started when I was a young teenager and I'm 35 now. But I thought, "why not give the raw stuff a shot? Maybe I'll have a rough day, but at least I'll know I tried." Dude... Zero stomach issues.
Changed my life. Thank you.

I love everything you just said, lol. My wife and I have had serious conversations about taking the steps to get out from under it. I've traveled quite a bit and the mentality that "we have it better than anyone else" is utter nonsense.

I'll dig into the IRC Section to be sure, but my understanding is that the $600 rule targets businesses. Not the general public sending money to each other. As for the $10k with banks, its pretty easy to stay below that number. I'm not talking about tax evasion, so if I convert $10k+ to fiat for some reason, I'm not concerned with reporting the income. But my holdings until that point are my business.

2023-10-22 23:00:42

The bank knows you sent someone money. But they don't know why. Either way, Zelle sucks.

I send cash from strike and get KYC free bitcoin. Unless, of course, someone cared enough and had the authority to get my transaction details from Strike and match it to the transaction.

Banks flag it as potential fraud and lock the account until you confirm your details over the phone.

If you are downloading from Google Play, it takes a while for the update to become available. That's why I moved to Obtainium.

As it stands now (not accounting for future innovations) the issues you mention are definitely roadblocks. Additionally, if everyone self-custodies (as one should) and creates their own channels, it would take too long for all of the on-chain channel opening transactions to be confirmed.
But there are very smart people working on solutions for these problems. I haven't looked into this BIP at all yet, though I will be doing some research on it now, but it could be a possible answer based on what I see here.
