Another option to get a lnurl is to use the read-only invoice macaroon and associate it to a lightning address (assuming LND)

You can either run your own federated lightning address server (satdress) or choose from a handful of community supported providers at lightningaddress.com (keep in mind the address provider will have your invoice macaroon😬). Most federated lightning address servers support connecting to hidden services over tor (onions) which is useful if you don't have your node accessible over clearnet

Won't give you zaps (nip57) though 🥹 I'm still waiting to copy someone's homework for that

If you're comfortable with RTL, LNBits connects with your node in pretty much the same way -- it includes built-in extensions to create lnurls

The thing with lnurl is that it requires a webserver. the webserver is meant to provide SSL on clearnet so requests for invoices can be safely transmitted. Lnbits can also be served over a tor proxy but it wont make for accessible lnurls

I use a lightning address, which is a form of lnurl 🤓

If you've never run a node before I recommend getting Bitcoin core to run on a laptop or something. Straightforward and easy, give it as much space as you like.

Depending on your computer it can take a long time to come up to sync (modern hardware hours to days, a week for weak CPUs w/ mechanical hard drive), oftentimes people get frustrated over this time consuming process. To better past the time, take the time to understand what the software is doing while it validates every block. While your computer is learning Bitcoin, so should you 😂

From there I'd try to make transactions from wallets not using your node to a wallet you generated on your own. With Bitcoin core, keys are stored in a .dat file , generating keys and keeping that file safe takes practice 👍once you understand the shortcomings of relying on digital files, you'll understand better the value of seed phrases and why other Bitcoin software was written to help interact with your node in the way that best suits your needs 🤓

Take your time, don't sweat mistakes, happens to everyone

Be sure to hold your own keys and run your own node 🥳

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

Thanks for writing this 🤓⚡

Starting from some versions ago there's auto-updates for containers. Depending how you feel about that, might help decide if you should get to know your current setup better or start another

I think it's what you get for posting pictures of sandwiches you make
