What it feels like being a pleb in the real world…
Thanks. Appreciated.
Should I be able to see these via Damus? I can only verify by going to the wallet itself…
Thanks whoever zapped me there.
Shouldn’t be able to see either on the note or within Damus somewhere how much I have received?
I can only see via the wallet itself… 🤔
Can someone spare 10 sats to a fellow pleb to confirm my zaps are working? 🙏🏼😂
It’s hard for me to comprehend how far #Bitcoin has come technically from 2016 when I first got in.
There I was sitting on Reddit for most of the day figuring out what the hell I just bought to now where we are sending zaps over layer 2 Bitcoin via a decentralised social media platform like it’s nothing. 🤙🏽⚡️
The future is bright, the future is orange. #Bitcoin #Nostr
How are the lightning channels holding out with all this zapping? ⚡️
Go to the gym
Get outside
Stop drinking alcohol
Stack sats
Chill the fuck out

Damus feeling fresh on this new build! 🤙
Must. Stack. More. Sats.
Made you guys a meme…
💯
Sats to spend: hot wallet
Sats to save: cold wallet
🤙 😂
Anyways... I run an Umbrel node too. In 2 months, it will be 2 years of using Umbrel. I use Zeus on my phone to access my node to manage channels and pay invoices while remote. I use Thunderhub to manage channels and liquidity while at home. I use BTCPay server to host LNURL / LN Addresses. I then use Cloudflare to point to my home IP address, to keep my IP private. Any sats sent to pay@derekross.me wind up directly on my node.
As for guides, I don't have any to link, but I will say find a couple large nodes to setup channels to, this will help you route payments in the beginning. It's good to join liquidity swaps with others. I like using https://lightningnetwork.plus for this. Join a swap or create one. You'll get an incoming channel and you'll setup a new outgoing channel. Do many of these.
You could also post your public key on nostr. I'm sure other plebs are in your situation and would love to open channels with you.
This is ultimate self custody goals
I struggle to justify putting the liquidity into node whilst running enough channels.
That’s is the hard and risky part for me.
This is possible on astral.ninja now?
