Hello there, I have set up a Lightning node and want to open some small channels with fellow plebs for fun and decentralization. Anyone interested? Let me know your node address and minimum channel size. Thanks! ⚡ #AskNostr #plebnet #noderunners

Good morning ☀️😃 💜🫂😉🎢

America drifts ever closer to the plot lines of WALL-E and Idiocracy.

Fix the money, fix the world. nostr:note192vxzcv69lecw8emvyce03zhmvsg3eqhdrxwskxv50qnfz7jtpnq2h6m4e

Mem pool eased off a bit from yesterday’s madness.

Time to stack some corn. Do some utxo maintenance and maybe open a channel or two.

It’s an addiction

So for my setup, I have a dedicated machine that is running two vms. One vm has mynode (which is the one with issues) and the other running umbrel.

I have had annoying power issues here for past few weeks due to a tornado that came through. We still have seen occasional surges. That likely has something to do with it.

Also I'm running a few miners and my house is notorious for tripping breakers. I think my electricity here is not the cleanest unfortunately. But I've had several instances of overloading a couple circuits and I think that could be contributing to the problem too...

That or tor is just finicky

Some y'all need to let go of the iphone & move to open source software that can defend your basic rights.

Only the intolerant few will do this, are you one of them?

It is September 2024 and I am from the future. Here is a recap of what happened:

BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, is being blamed for the "systemic attack" and dismantling of the Bitcoin network.

It all began when BlackRock applied for a spot ETF for Bitcoin, a move that was secretly endorsed by the government. However, little did anyone know that the plan was always to deny the ETF and crush market sentiment. It's almost as if they aimed to manipulate the hopes and dreams of bitcoin enthusiasts, like puppeteers pulling unseen strings in the shadows.

Over the preceding three years, BlackRock secretly purchased large positions in various Bitcoin mining companies, including Riot, Marathon, Cipher Mining, Hut 8, and Tera Wulf. Not only that, but they managed to secure board positions in each of these companies with a plan to attack the bitcoin network after crashing the price secondary to the spot ETF denial.

BlackRock used a shell company to take a position in Ant Pool. We can only imagine the boardroom conversations that took place during these secret dealings. "Gentlemen, our mission, should you choose to accept it, is to disrupt the Bitcoin network while sipping on our lattes."

BlackRock worked closely with regulators, media outlets, and governments worldwide to convince these mining companies to attack the Bitcoin network in various ways: forks, transaction blocking, and 51% attacks to name a few. It's almost as if they were playing an elaborate game of chess, but instead of kings and queens, it was ASIC miners and cryptographic algorithms.

After much chaos and pain, blackrock, working with the centralized governments of the world, managed to convince the NPCs of the world to switch to a proof-of-stake chain. Economists worldwide praised this move as the "world's first stable, digital monetary network." It's almost like they turned Bitcoin into a sitcom with a laugh track in the background.

In the end, the old Bitcoin proof-of-work chain still exists, but it's now reserved for a select group of cypherpunk purists akin to the guardians of the TOR network. The rest of the world happily embraces the new proof-of-stake Bitcoin, which, according to experts, can now be used as currency even during market hiccups and power outages.

Current Market Cap:

Bitcoin POW: 350 billion

Bitcoin POS: 16 trillion

I believe tor.

It's weird because it will randomly disconnect from all peers but like 3 or 4. And it's not always the same peers it stays connected to.
