I turned my phone into a node in less than 33 minutes -- and you can, too!

The process: download Zeus app, pick a nick, click, wait for it to sync, secure your seed phrase, then create an invoice to receive sats (easily paid by copying LN address into wallets like Alby) which simultaneously opens your first channel to Olympeus.

We're gonna get so many people in the car driving. Thanks Zeus and DarthCoin for this well written explainer!

Hey nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 the crew over at Bowl After Bowl are node pilling people with the Zeus node in a phone.

We're all huge fans of the app already and use it for the front end of our nodes and wallets.

Will give it a listen.

Hopefully you’re getting high on self sovereign payments responsibly! 😂

They won’t shut up about it.

They covered it best in this segment. It just came across everyone’s radar so we’re still just figuring it out.

Appreciate the clipping!

Even better. That’s a PC 2.0 chapter I just had to hit share.

That’s awesome 🔥

Now get a lightning address in your Nostr profile so we can zap you!

I have bad news

Marks in disbelief

Ha. Should I know who DuhLaurien is?

Its the person you’re replying to? lol. Was just pointing out they are not on nostr

Yup. Mostr bridge. My brain couldn’t compute a Mostr user bullish on sovereign lightning.

Bullish on zaps on Fediverse??!

I proclaim the matrix borked and I blame nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6

definitely a glitch in the matrix

Well the pain in the ass about mostr is there aren't really users...it just creates accounts on its own based on activitypub accounts.

No activitypub users have access to their nostr keys as far as I'm aware. I certainly never had access to mine and never asked for a mostr bridge, it just showed up one day and for some insane reason more people were engaging with that account than my real nostr account that I have the keys to 😅 so frustrating

That sounds like an unfortunate user experience 😆 Mostr bridge has mixed reception from my view. Maybe it could provide a way for activitypub users to link over to a legit nostr account or something.

It would be a lot better if it was opt-in, I think

I AM here on Nostr, you silly billies! 💜 So is nostr:npub1yvscx9vrmpcmwcmydrm8lauqdpngum4ne8xmkgc2d4rcaxrx7tkswdwzdu from Bowl After Bowl

Why hello there 🤙

Zapped ⚡️

Struck by Mostr yet again

Mostr Bridge for the win!!!!

I am here, dude! But that Mostr bridge gets more love than me. 😢

👀

That dragon egg tho… 🔥

Think of all the zaps the egg would get

Can confirm. Did my whole Nostr set up on iPhone (in US) and @Zeus is what finally worked.

That's awesome! This is why it bugs me when folks complain about onboarding. If you want to do it, dig in and DO IT. Get in the car and drive.

I am glad my guide helped you to onboard with Zeus !

May the Bitcoin be with You!

They spoke very highly of it on last weeks Bowl After Bowl episode.

Lol what.

I was just reading an article from Darthcoin about #bitcoin nodes on Umbrel. I have a steep learning curve ahead of me lol

nostr:npub1lxktpvp5cnq3wl5ctu2x88e30mc0ahh8v47qvzc5dmneqqjrzlkqpm5xlc 🫡

Best way to learn is to just start doing it! On Bowl After Bowl, we say, "Get in the car and drive." Everything DarthCoin writes is so detailed and helps me be a better node runner. 💜

I wish I could zap your phone node on nostr

You can zap me here bb! Mostr isn't opt-in and that damned bridge gets more interaction than me over here.

Unfortunately it seems your address is not correct here. It should be a uln address

What is a ULN address?

I just zapped you without any problems.

Working now it seems
