It’s another day of Wallet of Satoshi melting down and BlueWallet announcing the end of custodial Lightning.

This is a great time to learn how to build your own node.

was just thinking the same thing lol

…and v. low availability of Raspberry Pi boards!

You're better off with a x64 mini PC anyway. Can get them all day long on eBay for 100-150

No! getalby neither

Better to break these things now and build them stronger to be ready for greater adoption. Let’s keep breaking them, pushing limits, and build a better road for the billions of people that will join in the next 2 decades

Spent 6 hrs trying to build a ⚡node yesterday.

Its not exactly easy

Oh no, I forgot who I onboarded to bluewallet 😬 oh well 😮‍💨

And send the funding tx at 1 sats/vB

What place you recommend us to start?

I'd zap you but it looks like Alby's also struggling.

Always is a great moment to learn more and more about Bitcoin and lightning.

If I build my own node can I host my own lighting wallet? Like how does that work? Can people send funds directly to my account on the node?

Yes and no. It depends on the channels your open. Go learn and have fun

Say less….. time to start cooking.

Now using LN tipbot on Telegram, an LN URL, works fine and then sending funds to Muun wallet
