Running LightningPiggyOS v5.0.X
This major update is fully loaded! Your piggy can now be updated without affecting configuration settings and configured wirelessly via its own hotspot—no more reconfiguring between updates! We’ve also made a hog-load of user experience improvements and fixes to keep things running as smooth as a hairy hog’s back.
Version 5.0.6
* Fixed QR encoding of lightning addresses (like oink@demo.lnpiggy.com). A nod towards NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) since most supporting wallets offer a lightning address
Version 5.0.5
* Reduced WiFi connection failure sleep from 8h to 4h
* Switched to timeapi.io as worldtimeapi.org is down
* Re-enabled web authentication for Configuration Mode
Version 5.0.4
* Fixed issue where the “Always Run Webserver” setting was ignored
Version 5.0.3
* Now fetching fiat prices from Coingecko instead of Coindesk (due to service outage)
* Added additional websocket debugging output
Version 5.0.2
* Reduced long press duration for Configuration Mode from 5s to 3s
* Improved long press responsiveness during WiFi connection and display rendering
* Enabled “Captive Portal” DNS to guide users to the Configuration Mode webpage
* Disabled web authentication for Configuration Mode
Version 5.0.1
* Added “Restart” button to the configuration webpage
* Fixed boot loop issue caused by faulty sleep logic and failed assertions
* Reduced WiFi connection timeout from 42s to 30s
* If WiFi connection fails, the device now shows an error and sleeps instead of starting Access Point mode
Version 5.0.0
* Introduced easy configuration without reflashing
* Device can now become a WiFi hotspot for configuration
* Configuration Mode triggers when:
* No configuration is found
* WiFi connection fails
* Long press on “IO39” button
Oinkward!

Are there specific challenges? Maybe some people like to hack on nostr:nprofile1qqsz9qvwcv7cq78xf9jt2cwg8xm5gvljxu2494l4h44tptejtfulg2gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtc0ljlee NWC integration?
🙏
Development on the nostr:nprofile1qqsz9qvwcv7cq78xf9jt2cwg8xm5gvljxu2494l4h44tptejtfulg2gld27jy codebase is now smoking thanks to the open-source QEMU ESP32 emulator created by nostr:nprofile1qqspsyfhq487vr04z6yhvvglp06ym0jt6nfwptmfxfwla606sx5vhks9qgyxq! The emulator now includes display emulation, as shown here with the piggy configuration page by Dr.Shift⚡️. Stay tuned for some sizzling hot advancements to come 🥓🔥

I found one, but it didn’t show how many sats where in it nostr:npub1y2qcaseaspuwvjtyk4suswdhgselydc42ttlt0t2kzhnykne7s5swvaffq
That one looks stuffed with sats! Only way to find out is to give it a shake ;)
Okay, come on! Who’s sending memes and ads loaded with sats to our LightningPiggy?

With everyone rooting for our success, 2025 is set to be an oink-credible adventure! 🎉 To kick things off, we’re thrilled to announce the release of LightningPiggy Code Version 4.4.x!

Team LightingPiggy wishes you a Merry Christmas!
We hope you have a ham-tastic holiday with all the trimmings!
Don’t go bacon our hearts, keep hogging those sats babe 🧡
Someone (I think nostr:npub17rz6swhn2lgeam84mm786e9m268hhqde7d6gaasx8g9znjdsj2pqgxzm6p) asked about gifting #Bitcoin and there were some good ideas on how to do it. For family (since you will have the seed phrase):
1. BIP-85 child private key, print seed phrase template (https://github.com/pluja/Mnemonic-Seed-Bakcup/blob/master/Templates-PDF/24-word-seed-btc.pdf) and send 12 or 24 words.
2. BitDayCards via https://www.bitdaycards.com/
3. nostr:npub1y2qcaseaspuwvjtyk4suswdhgselydc42ttlt0t2kzhnykne7s5swvaffq DIY #lightning piggy bank that you build.
For others:
4. SATSCARD by nostr:npub12ctjk5lhxp6sks8x83gpk9sx3hvk5fz70uz4ze6uplkfs9lwjmsq2rc5ky
5. nostr:npub13qv9uflfdn70c0zcccju7uxymwn407xjax4he2uq75qj5dp7klfqt74rrf, where you can print a greeting card or send as an e-card. It includes onboarding for newbies and if they don't claim the gift, it's returned to you.
Personally, I love #5 even for family. What are some other ways? #asknostr
Thank you for recommending our project 💜
Sorry to hear about that Justin. Are you running your own LNbits server? Can you still access your wallet?
Here’s a remote signer project… https://github.com/nostr-connect/nostrum
We've scratched our own itch and released piggy code 4.3.2 available at https://lightningpiggy.github.io
It adds the Spanish 🇪🇸 translations by Pedrotronic and fixes "instant" payment updates (when the piggy is not asleep) that broke due to an LNBits API change.
Now that feels better ⚡️🐽
This usually happens because of the cable. You need one that transmits both power and data. Change it or check it’s a data cable by connecting it with a hard drive, or anything else that works with data.
Okay, does anything happen when you do that?
Sorry to hear that. What step of a process are you getting stuck at?
A new ⚡️🐽 is born. Imagine the delight every time a zap arrives!
Bitcoin kids are the best!!
