My sister with 5 children are coming to visit for Thanksgiving. I am going to slowly stack a little bit for my two oldest nieces over the next 2 months. <3 I will set them up with Zeus and wallets on my node, just like my kids. Their cousins, my kids, are already orange pilled so it should be pretty easy to get them on-board. I can't wait to surprise them with this.

thanks! <3

💪

Pls add 1k to each on me

will do brother. thanks.

Great idea, I should do this since orange pilling/purple pilling my bro has not worked.

Go straight to the younglings.

i'd say my sister is ready and able to be orange pilled, she just doesn't have the time with 5 kids.

the next-gen of bitcoiners!

exactly. they are the future. gotta teach them young.

(i also okayed this with my sister.)

That's cool. I love this.

And now I look bad without my own LN node…

Do you have an age where you decide to set this up?

Mine are 12 and 14. My nieces referenced here are 11 and 14. That's the perfect age IMO.

My nephew is 9. Maybe I’ll start telling him if he keeps an accounting of my swear jar fees I’ll gladly pay them in sats.

We do need some rules about what constitutes a swear jar contribution. I’m not paying when a song or movie has the random curse.

If I had a swear jar I'd go broke.

So far I’ve raised objections about his accounting as well as asked if he would like to pay the fees if an Uber driver had driven him. When he realized he would owe me more than I would owe the swear jar, he changed his tune.

They might get more excited with more than 25 cents.

This was a test transaction to their LN address and I said I'm going to stack over the next two months for them. The plan is to give them $20 worth.

Awesome. Now we are talking. They are lucky to have a proper BTC teacher.

so i’m new to zeus and lightning so forgive me if this is a dumb question but how does this work? if they setup wallets connected to your node, are they not just spending your coins? or do you have separate nodes for family members like that?

I use LNbits with LNDHub. It's essentially an accounting system for my node. All sats are still "mine" on my node and not separate. But on the LNBits side, I see all wallets and all separate balances. Each wallet or user can only spend from their own wallet. This allows me to handle the technical side of things for them. I'm their custodian. And, I'm not going to rug my kids or nieces.

I'm essentially rinning my own GetAlby for my family.

Uncle Jim to the rescue. 💜

What are you running lnbits on? I'm probably going to set up the same here soon.

My "server". It's a machine that's 4 years old but has new m2 drives.

just looked into lnbits briefly on umbrel. seems pretty promising for my use case.

Haha. You are "that" uncle. And I'm here for it!

(I am too ⚡️🤙)

It's great to be that uncle.

Hahaha. This quote, (said in his voice) is always awesome. 🤙

But on this logic... Satoshi is the ultimate uncle.

Uncle -toshi! Hahaha

can we stack for them with u?

Sure.

r these lnurl’s

Lightning addresses. They will generate LNURLs. If your wallet doesn't support that I am sending all zaps on these notes to them.

decent chance i flubbed and paid one of them twice while sipping whiskey.

if so lemme know - i’ll double down and make good.

You did! 🤣 I will even it out before I set them set up at Thanksgiving. Thanks for being generous.

I fixed it now. It only took a second. Thanks again, brother.

Let’s go!!

I need to learn how to do this on my node as well. Any recommendations on a tutorial. I’m currently using nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 now on my iOS device.

So, you’re the cool uncle! 🤙

Somewhere evil twin Kered Ross is asking them how their trades are going at Thanksgiving.

🤣🤣 It's probably that scammer @derekross_ that's been lurking here on Nostr.

Omg! Nooooooo

Here's another 1k for each of them
