So I think I just got my own lightning address going direct to a Voltage node I own. Did a test zap and it appeared to work. NICE.

What do you think - is a video tutorial in order?

An emphatic yes.

💯 yes 🔥

Please! 🤙

Fully 💯

I guess so what's a voltage node and why does it matter?

Voltage allows you to host your own lightning node with your own channels, etc. They run the infrastructure but have no access to your funds (it's encrypted with your password)

Basically you can link it to Nostr so you don't need to rely on wallet of Satoshi or Alby to hold funds for you.

Sounds interesting.

That’s cool.. didn’t think of that. I’m assuming you go through a whole kyc onboarding to use voltage?

No, try it and see

Thanks Ben

I got the zap going out on my own node, need help on getting zaps to go on my zeus wallet, right now they go to my alby wallet. If you could add that to your tuturial

Need this

Yes please

Definitely :-)

Please do!

absolutely

Yes, I love your tutorials! I have only been in Bitcoin for 4 weeks. I have set up a hardware wallet, Bitcoin node, lightning node, nostr account, thanks to you and a few others. I could not have done it so fast without your videos though. Plus this is my first nostr post! Cheers and thank you!

Sounds like you had a great 4 weeks. Welcome to #Nostr and #Bitcoin. 🫡

Thank you very much! It has been a mind expanding few weeks! I have been listening to many interesting and brilliant people in many different podcasts and YouTube videos. I feel like I am on the precipice of something very profound and something that I am just beginning to understand the ramifications.

Holy crap dude, you're on a warpath of knowledge! Probably the fastest in depth learning curve I've heard of

Thank you very much! Your videos have helped me immensely. I spun up an Umbrel node on Ubuntu. It had some challenges as it was different from your tutorial with the raspberry pi. After several attempts to sync the Bitcoin node I finally got it to sync. It has been running a week. Still haven’t setup channels on the lightning node. So far I have had a blast! Plus, the added benefit of our family protecting our assets is a plus! Thank you very much again! Cheers!

That’s a zap and a follow! 🤙

Yo ⚡️ this man next you gotta setup your LN wallet to your Nostr

Agreed, you’ll get my zap

Thank you!

Nice job getting set up! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! 🤙

Thank you for the Zap! My first ever! This is freaking cool! I was just trying to explain what a paradigm shift nostr is to my wife. I have been wanting to post my writing somewhere for people to read, but I didn’t want to be beholden to cancel culture. This may be the place. I can’t tell you how exiting this is and the financial change that Bitcoin can provide. Thank you again! Cheers!

Very exciting, glad you’re seeing the potential! 💜🤙

Welcome!

🥰💜⚡️🧡

Thank you!

Please setup a lnurl so we can zap you your rewards. ⚡️💜🤙

Followed Pleb. Connect a LN wallet so we can mainline you some of these sweet sweet #Zaps

Thank you for the follow! I believe I have set up a wallet. Even though I have made it this far I still have to fully setup my LN. So I setup a wallet of Satoshi for a temp.

Welcome!

Thank you!

Set up a lightning wallet attached to your #nostr account. Wanna thank you for your service of running a node 🫡

Tag me when you do #zap

Thank you, I have heard somewhere “Not your node, not your rules!”. Honestly, Bitcoin is a profound tool! I am basically helping run the “bank of the people” free of interference from outside forces. That is incredibly profound… and I am happy to be a part of it! Cheers!

That’s exactly right. Not your keys, not your cheese. Not your node, not your rules. Thank you for your service and for securing the network fren 🫂

Set up a LN Adress to get zapped for this post! Inspiring stuff

Thank you! I have a long ways to go. Very excited about this new community I have found myself in.

Yes

Yes!

Yes

Works perfectly! Love to see it! ⚡️❤️🔥

Yes please yes please yes please 🙏

Do it🤙

heck yes

The only thing I see wrong is using gmail. You should do a tutorial on how easy it is to import the gmail to an encrypted email provider like proton 😅

Absolutely 🤙🧡

You know it is!

Please do a tutorial on this.

Love from India 🇮🇳
