Well...WoS is custodial, so "not your keys - not your coins".

I learned it the hard way from another custodal wallet I had my coins on and got rugpulled a few months ago.

So custodial for very small amounts only.

They also almost all require a KYC-like user identification.

Using them anonymously is usually not possible.

(Or maybe somebody has a solution for that? #asknostr )

Own nodes on the other hand can be tricky too, and the costs and stress are underestimated by most people:

- on chain fees for channel opening and closing,

- buying inbound liquidity,

- making backups of your channels,

- potential force closing by whom you had the channel opened with

I myself have not found the perfect solution yet...

Alby Hub forced one of my channels to close. The photo below is how I found out about it. I did not initiate the action.

It appears that it can happen if the channel isn't used very often. That's the only explanation I can find.

Yes 🤣

Encouraging progress!

Only way to eat Brussels sprouts imo

Looks amazing!

What is your method for cleaning cast iron pans?

I’m drooling 🤤

Got it! Thanks. I’ll do that.

I think there were mass casualties in the greenhouse. My sickness caused poor planning and well the cold weather will do cold things. Loss count tbd.

I now have a backup propane heater in place to try and salvage as many plants as possible.

I use WoS to zap. it doesn't like when I run a vpn but works in the US.

How do I do that? Sorry, I’m new on Nostr.
