21k per month to send zaps is wild
In a bull market. Yes
Even in the bear it’s expensive. Especially with free options or less expensive ones
Get a 1 core slice and spinup Alby hub on it, $24 a year should be within reason, plus channel opening fees (LNServer is the cheapest)
Yeah even with a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll there seems to be no way to host a lightning address just yet (without a vm proxy to expose your server to clearnet) but I think it’s on the roadmap.
You can route traffic through a VPN subnet with a firewalla ($$) or OpenWRT
Oh I thought it required a router with a Tor connection, which seemed more complex than a VPN.
No but Start9 can host all services to .onion services. The nice bit with AlbyHub is you get all their API/services with a self-hosted lightning implementation.
Phoenixd uses self-soverign channel splicing to the phoenix node so you don't have to host any proper lightning node.
Easy in StartOS 0.3.6, currently in alpha, soon to be in beta
Truth
YOU WILL SELF HOST OR I WILL MAKE YOU SELF HOST
You can always pay Phoenix 4sats per zap with Start9 + AlbyHub w/phoenixd
Will take a buttload of zaps to reach 21,000 and most can find an old computer for a start9 build.
More details / tutorial please?
Sorry, I misremembered. It is Umbrel that has the Phoenixd option in their community store.
right. month 1 would wipe out the account
I commend nostr:nprofile1qqsdgvut0sesvjgulh65j9x3554cp2t9dp0hxcf3r6h9704078fr5kcprpmhxue69uhkummnv3exjan99eshqup0wfjkcctemgrnlp for a meme that generated interesting discussion.
Bull Market hits and all of a sudden 1 sat ≠ 1 sat 😂
I do agree the price is too high for me too and that’s why I run it on my DIY Start9 node.
siempre pensando en lo mismo jajjaa
#bitcoin #btc #sat #satoshi
CoinOS gives you alot of the same functionality
That’s why I self-host.
😂
Running your own node is a money and time sink as well 😂 hardware costs, electricity costs, time, locked up liquidity, risk of loss, opening and closing (FC) costs
🤣🤣
If I don't get rich with sats, I have about a year, maybe less of hosting funds. 😬 I haven't decided what I want to do when that day comes.
