Best way to crowdfund with #bitcoin ? It depends on your needs.

For me, already running a bitcoin and lightning node and looking to selfhost, BTCPayserver was a no brainer.

I'm running it on my personal #Start9 server.

They have a built in crowdfund app that lets you self host get paid in #BTC onchain and via #lightning

Want to see an example. Use your TOR browser and go to the crowdfundraiser I ran last year for getting the CryptPad service on Start9...

I primarily DCA into bitcoin (weekly), and my side hustle all gets paid in bitcoin so I don't normally buy more outside of this, but I'm tempted. This looks like a good time to #buythedip

Running my private #nostrrelay on my #start9 server. It's very cool that I can see my connection from snort.social posting my DM (event kind 4) to my very own relay. With that and my other posts (including this one) archived on my own relay I am #uncensorable !!!!

Is it time to consider "Not your relay not your posts"?

I am still very early in my nostr journey - perhaps we all are. There is so much more for me to learn.

#grownostr #relay #startos

I DM'd that account and also contacted the campaign via the campaign web site contact form. I suggested they verify and offered to help. No response so far...

Thanks for list of hashtags to check out!!! I'm just getting started with #grownostr and enjoy meeting folks I otherwise might never run acros!!!

That is correct. I missed the announcement but checked the Start9 web site and it is now StartOS (no longer EmbassyOS). I imagine when the next update comes out that will be one of the changes in the release as well...

Whatever they call it, they do make it easy for less technical folks to become more sovereign.

I currently use ledger nanos for my hardware wallets. This was because at the time purchased about 2 years ago it was the best fit for me (I used to do a lot of non-Bitcoin crypto).

They still work fine, so I'm not in a hurry to replace them, but I have started researching and really like the ColdCard.

Let's #grownostr and #hodl that bitcoin!!!

So I spent the evening trying to get NOSTR all set up properly. It seems I have attached a wallet and I believe I have done the NIP-05 but I can't really tell if it worked.

I didn't get to responding and sending all the messages I wanted to but in keeping with the spirit of gronostr and adding content that is relating to things other than bitcoin, I wanted to share a video of my cat welcoming me home. The pile of socks got double the size after the video as she kept at it.

Yes, cat video, if there is one thing NOSTR desperately needs it is CAT CONTENT. Every other platform has the monopoly on it lol. They say cat pictures are the only thing on the internet that rivals the volume of content that porn consists of. Ok they don't say that but they might...

I think I am learning how all this works, but since I've really never used twitter or most social media, I feel like I am using this way different than other people. I do now know that this is a "note" and not a "post" haha. I'm doing my best here friends.

More to come! Please tell me if I am doing something wrong or missing something here. =)

Looks like you are getting there. But I don't see a NIP-05 verification.

Happy to help you figure out how to use Alby with nostr. Either here or via DM. We need to #grownostr !!!

While I will ask you for some information so I can best assist you, please do not ever send me (or anyone else helping you) your nostr private key (starts with nsec), or private keys or seed phrase for your bitcoin wallet. Maintain good security practices.

Please let me know how you want to use alby with nostr? do you want to use it to login in using the alby extension? or just use it to send / receive sats. What nostr client do you use? What bitcoin wallet do you use?

Glad to welcome Presidential Candidate Kennedy nostr:npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp

to NOSTR.

We are still early, so please be patient with any bugs you find.

I'm following now and looking forward to learning more about you and your campaign.

This is a great opportunity to #grownostr !!!

First connect on #start9 #embassy server can be confusing. I've done a lot with my servers (One, Pro and DIY on a VM) and I'll try to help here. Feel free to DM me too. Also, if you do telegram, Start9 has great customer support on telegram - https://t.me/start9_labs/41569

It sounds like you are able to access the Start9 server and can see the services, marketplace, updates, system. BUT can't access the UI for the installed services.

Did you complete the certificate authority / download certificate steps? https://docs.start9.com/latest/user-manual/connecting/connecting-lan/index

You can also look at: https://docs.start9.com/latest/support/faq/faq-troubleshooting

Hope this helps get you going!!! Once you get services going you should make sure to run a NOSTR relay on your embassy. Let's #grownostr

Today I'm exploring Nostr clients. Damus on the iPhone, Iris.to and Nostr.social on the desktop (w/Alby extension). It's amazing how my data stays the same and I can play with the interface!
