Nostr Web Client

This is why nostr should use doggie coin and Monero for tipping. No 24/7 shit needed to handle receiving transactions

I would also be very happy if Nostr would allow non-lightning bitcoin wallet addressees for manual tipping too. More secure and less shit is likely to happen.

I've got my own Alby Hub, but people neglected to mention that I have to keep it on 24/7/365 in order for it to work. Little bit of a dumbass oversight on my part. So now I only turn it on and use it as a semi-cold storage savings account.

I am not morally opposed to shitcoins, but trying to convince developers to implement a nip, or accepting zap alternatives seems like an uphill battle that can't be easily won. Too many die hard bitcoin people here.

You might be surprised nostr:note1rtxrupdqsdl9x5jkj5vc62hpsvt5aryh95e4l0v2pwdvf2ltl4ds699su9

Do not trust that shady developer, or use Amethyst.

Just giving you a heads up that he is untrustworthy and of highly questionable moral character.

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 10mo ago

Agreed but the Monero community haven't written that code to try holding him to his words

A lightning node that you only turn on every once in a while is a good way to have your channel partners close your channels on you.

Non-lightning (on-chain) tipping of 21 sats at a time would be an exceedingly bad idea.

Alby hub would close a channel if it was not turned on for extended periods of time?

#alby

Your channel partners might. Not Alby Hub.

TheLegendaryMan 10mo ago

OK I am definitely missing something in the old comprehension department. Please explain in greater detail.

Alby Hub is the software that runs your node. You hold your private key and open channels with with LSPs. Those are independent providers, not run by Alby itself.

TheLegendaryMan 10mo ago

Fuck fuck fuck.

Now I have to hope and pray that I didn't lose my funds?!?

The Daniel ⚡️ 10mo ago

You wouldn’t lose anything. It would simply appear in your on-chain wallet after the channel closes. It might take a little time to see it depending on how recently the channel closed, but your local balance will always return to you.

Dikaios1517 10mo ago

Minus on-chain fees for the closing transaction.

The Daniel ⚡️ 10mo ago

Unavoidable.

Dikaios1517 10mo ago

When you open a lightning channel, you lock an on-chain UTXO into a multisig with your channel partner, whoever you opened the channel to, or bought the channel from. If your node is offline for a while, they may decide to close the channel, because that's liquidity they have locked up for no reason if you are usually offline.
