You guys are right self custody is critical. As a non technical person I am using WoS because it has LNURL and regularly sweep the balance into a self custodied wallet. When I first got on Nostr I was trying to find a self custody solution for receiving zaps but there aren’t any *unless you run a lightning node*

Then run a lightning node and learn the tools 🙂

Zaps *should* be a great prompt for people to explore doing things properly and cutting out the middle man (which was one of the most important reasons Bitcoin was created!)

Agree and that’s the plan but between working and parenting I got about 0 free time. So rn I rely on mobile for Nostr and zaps.

I fully agree I gotta carve out some time to get set up.

What hardware should I get to run a full node + Lightning? Rn I run a node on a laptop.

Old laptop is great! Usually better hardware than a Pi and gets a battery backup as well 🙂

Just be sure you have enough storage. Would highly recommend running something like RaspiBlitz by @openoms
