It worked!! I don’t know who sent the test amount of 21 twice or if it was from X or here, but thank you for verifying it worked!!!! So cool 😎 Can’t believe my node just received payment from a random stranger on the internet. I freakin’ love Bitcoin & Lightning!!!! And thanks again to whomever sent the test TXs!!!!!! 🤘

Could someone please try this lnURLpay at so I can see if I set it up correctly? I’m not sure if it will route over the internet correctly and for all wallets.
Thank you!! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Getting there, slowly! MUCH faster than the SSD server I currently run my node on. Decided to check out #Start9's #StartOS for my second bitcoin+lightning node.

I actually haven't tried using loop or pool, yet. More things I want to look into once I'm satisfied that my nodes are up and running without hiccups or chance of losing funds. With the horrible iowait times I'm having with an HDD, I'm scared to do much. Just spun up a VM of Start9os and syncing a new node now. Maybe I'll play with loop and pool once it's up and running on my better server hardware. :)
At the moment, I need to figure out how to rebalance my channels, because my ACINQ channel is pretty much receive-only right now less about 18k sats.
I also have one smaller channel that I opened and it isn't being utilized during payments, so I may close that channel and open a new one with a better node. I believe it's the 1ml alpha node - it has good connectivity, but it never routes payments for some reason. Bitstamp and ACINQ seem to be working perfectly, though. Sent almost $1000USD in a lightning payment with no issues whatsoever using those two channels.

If you don’t like how Bitcoin works, you can just fork off! 😉

Yes, next step is most definitely to move to at least an SSD. Even lightning transactions move at a snails pace over it. 😂
I’d love to upgrade my main server machine to a 2-4TB NVME (the current 1TB is too small with all the stuff I have on it) and host the data folders there over a samba share and 10 gig networking to the node software server. 48 gig of memory on the host machine for the MyNode install if I move it over.
It would be a nice upgrade over the 10 gig of RAM it has allocated now. I didn’t realize it would be so IO-intense! It’s been quite a long time since I last ran a node. Blockchain was probably in the 200-300 GB range, then. Lightning was just invented a few months before that. Lightning is actually what made me run a node last time. I wanted to learn what these “bar tabs” were that they were building on top of the base layer. 😂

How are we at 8 sats/byte? We keep this up, we won’t need layer 2. 😂
All jokes aside, probably just a lull in network activity because it’s the weekend. 🤷‍♂️

I been taking advantage of it to open a few lightning channels. Consumed maybe 10 TXs the past few days. Nice to get in for 10-15 sats/byte on all of them. Used mempool.space, connected to my node to watch the fees on the prior 3-4 blocks and made sure I was one sat higher than the fees being paid on them. Worked like a charm. Had one transaction get in a block within 2 minutes, for under $2 in fees, actually!

Anybody else having a hard time getting away from #bitcoin these days? It's like all I want to do. I am now on rabbit with 8 tabs of streams running... I watch Simply Bitcoin every single damn day. I'm on reddit at least once a day looking at r/bitcoin. I'm playing with my btc/lnd node all the time if I'm not doing one of the other things. IT'S. ALL. I. DO. I might need professional help. #ZapsForTherapy lololol

Appreciate anybody running a lightning node that opens up a channel to help grow the number of connections to the Lightning Network!

Come on block 835885! I need that last confirmation! 🤩

Right, it wouldn’t work to the same people I had zapped before. 🤷‍♂️
I’m just glad it’s working now! 😃

Just realized Damus hasn’t been posting my notes for days nor saving them to a drafts folder or anything. Going to have to try to log out and log in again.

Yup, Primal sucks ass. They just locked my 50 sats up where I can’t send or zap them unless I register and activate the wallet. What a bunch of horse shit. I get you can fake data it, but it’s still stupid. KYC is out of control. Why is there a database of Bitcoin owners?! Scary, indeed when 1000 BTC is worth a billion dollars. 😳

Don’t type anything in there and just send some sats to your wallet via receive tab. It’s apparently not enforced. I just sent 50 sats to my second identity and it appears I can take them back out. Testing that theory now. Will report back.

I’m using it as of yesterday and I didn’t KYC verify like that. 🤷‍♂️

Weird. Can’t update my display name on Primal for iOS. #Learning #ImNewHere #Lost
