its just strfry running on my private wireguard vpn at home. nwc uses that so its not exposed to the internet. I also use this relay for sending private push notifications like when my bitcoin node receives a tx.

when people say trustless they mean that you don't have to worry about the other party rugging you. if they open a channel to you, they pay the fees, so closing the channel is only a detriment to them. if the other person wants inbound liquidity they can pay you to open a channel. then there is no risk or trust.

I optimize for not being rugged over privacy. benefits of running your own node is that you get both.

anyone can close at anytime, that's a part of the protocol. if you didn't have that then you wouldn't be able to unilaterally take your funds if the counterparty never comes back online.

2025-06-04 21:23:08 UTC

lightning is not perfect but its still the best way to transact instantly offchain without needing to trust anyone. I can’t see ecash ever offsetting that. It just doesn’t bring enough to the table over custodial lightning.
With private zaps, you get good enough privacy for most use cases.
lightning #zaps are the standard

2025-06-04 20:15:46 UTC

There have been 265,754 lightning donations to the damus lightning node via zap splits since 2023/05/15
- totals 8,336,601 sats
- averages ~31 sats per donation
This shows that large scale, steaming sats, value for value model works. We just need to scale it up. Now that zaps are back on iOS, here's the plan:
- Add zap splits on posts so you can zap the devs all at once, encouraging more #zapthedevs #value4value
- Add brand new zap features for damus iOS/android/desktop that are not in any other clients
- Fund wallet via onchain bitcoin
- Make zapping more fun, enable more ways to zap, build out the zap economy
Thanks to our new easy-to-use one-click coinos wallet, it should be easier than ever for users to get into zaps without KYC or territory restrictions.
Stay tuned!

can you be more specific? which way is it more clunky.
we are a pure nostr client, so we have to deal with protocol complexities. they are not a nostr client, so they can make many optimizations on their proprietary server (image caches, stats, follow counts, etc)
we are in the process of switching to a "caching relay" within our client, so that should help a lot.

I'm most interested in nostr's censorship resistance, which is something you give up entirely when you use primal since their relay controls everything you see. it has been surprising to me is just how people don't really care about that, it makes me wonder why even leave twitter then.

don't worry we'll still be here when their centralized caching relay goes down and it stops working

I normally wouldn't run a lightning node on a cloud server, but when you have multiple nodes you can move funds in realtime between environments with different levels of security.

power goes out, bitcoind node dies randomly, internet goes out, so many things go wrong all the time.

2025-04-03 19:00:57 UTC

new high availability lightning node setup:
- core-lightning node on a VPS
- swapped the bitcoind blocksource with sauron (esplora plugin)
- created a load-balanced nginx config that has 3 upstream esplora nodes: my node at home over wireguard, blockstream.info, mempool.space
this is slick because it makes running lightning nodes a breeze, no crazy storage requirements needed on your server.

An antimatter bomb is a "perfect" bomb, releasing 100% of the energy of its mass (e=mc^2) vs 0.4% to 1% compared to nuclear weapons.
With 1kg of antimatter you could wipe out all life on earth.
If you wanted to completely destroy earth (like break it aparty and send it flying into space in chunks of rock) you would need about 1/5 mt everersts worth of antimatter.
