If you don’t run your own node, why not make that a priority for’25. Really important to verify your transactions through your own node and also add to the global decentralised network

And your own solo miner
Also why not try to run non custodial lightning while at it.
I can’t zap you
Don't say that too loudly, you might hurt some Zappers fefes (feelings).
I meant it doesn’t work 😂
I want to check out Zeus when the time is right.
I've been trying my best to avoid Custodial, and KYC services but unfortunately it's difficult currently 😔✊️.
Look into alby hub connected to your own node
I always wonder, don't I submit my whole transaction history etc on albys servers? 👀
Good question
The alternative is running nwc on node to send, use nostdress (either own or someone's instance) on a vps to receive. E.g with lnd or lnbits.
Unfortunately, I pulled this all off verbatim, but it's not for the faint of heart (yet). I also do believe alby gets your metadata to some degree with alby hub, which is why I stayed away for now. They said they'd remove the alby account stuff in the future; I don't see that happening.
a little bitaxe to go with the umbrel will be grandfather clocks of our time (no pun intended) 🕰️👍🏽
And a Bitaxe!
I set this up finally in December after lots of procrastination. Best feeling in the world.
Bitaxe, node, self custody…….
Trifecta
Valuable tip! 🫡
Totally agree. 👍. I want to start saving sats to buy a start9.
Running a node with StartOS, need to dig more into other apps on it too! Also need really understand if by running it this way is helping the network or if I need to open ports on my router
