I peaked at 1960 at blitz chess.

Don't get to play so much these days, so dropped down below 1700.

Anyone here play?

Why do all nostr relays block VPNs?

"Grok please generate a text message conversation where Luke is considering a bitcoin hard fork."

Enjoy! 🧡

Yeah that what it does. 😅

I’m just telling you that if you run mempool guide with knots 29.1 start9 will complain but you can safely ignore this.

Yes,all is ok

Oh yeah can’t do much about that, they need to update their package.

But anyway mempool should work normally.

Incorrect version,me pool will not work as expected

What was the issue?

I installed before verified and imported your gpg key 🔐,all is ok,only minor issue is the version attention from electrum.

Thank you!

If you need more help after that don’t hesitate to ask!

Search installing Bitcoin knots in community.start9.com

Trying to install Bitcoin Knots on Start9 OS (0.3.5-1) via Community Registry. It shows as “installed” but redirects to Bitcoin Core. nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll, I guess this a UI bug since Core and Knots can’t coexist. Do I need to completely uninstall Bitcoin Core and re-download the entire transaction history with Bitcoin Knots? Having a clearer Marketplace UI would help new users avoid this confusion. #start9 #bitcoincore #bitcoinknots #asknostr

What distro?

That's the payments are small,i think is enough one channel,can you try and when not works open another inbound channel.You can test with me,I send you some stats to see that all is ok

Figured... Do I also need incoming liquidity? Also, will one channel suffice, or do I need multiple?

Anyone that has managed to successfully setup and receive #Lightning payouts from nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze — do you need to have an open channel and sufficient incoming liquidity for the payouts to come through?

Yes. When I recommended opening a 2m sat channel and using boltz.exchange to balance it, I wasn't saying to open that channel to Boltz' node. Open the channel to anyone you like who is well-connected and just use boltz.exchange to send half of that channel's capacity back to yourself on-chain.

Folks can still use boltz.exchange, even if they don't have a channel to them directly.

Been running a Start9 for almost exactly a year now, and Alby Hub with it since it was released. Let me know if you need any help.

My recommendations:

- Bitcoin Core or Knots, depending on your preference. I use Knots because I am also mining with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpqqtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3q5hrjvz and creating my own block templates using #DATUM, which requires Knots.

- LND is going to be your main Lightning node, if you plan to use Alby Hub, but you can also run CLN along-side it, and just open a single channel between your LND node and your CLN node so you can have the benefits of both. For instance, if you want to have a BOLT12 static receiving invoice you can share, only CLN currently supports that.

- Alby Hub is the most user friendly way to manage hosting multiple wallets and connecting them to Nostr clients and other apps using Nostr Wallet Connect. It is a must have, in my opinion, since you are otherwise relatively limited when it comes to remote usage of your node, except via Tor, which can be slow and unreliable.

- Electrs is going to be how you use your own node with on-chain Bitcoin wallets like Sparrow, Spectr, or Nunchuk. This is one of the most important reasons to run your own node. Use YOUR node when doing on-chain transactions, or browsing the mempool.

- In a similar vein, get the self-hosted version of Mempool.space, so you can explore your node's own mempool.

- RoboSats is a great option so you can buy sats P2P via Lightning.

- Ride the Lightning and or Thunderhub are good node management services, and RTL works with both LND and CLN if you are planning to run both.

Outside of that, there are all sorts of other things you can self-host on your Start9, such as Nextcloud, SimpleX Server, noStrudel, a Nostr RS Relay, or a Jellyfin media server. These are great when you just need to access them from within your local network, but they are less useful when you want to access them remotely for now, since your only option is via Tor. That will be changing in the coming OS update, but we still have no ETA for when that will be. I have personally been waiting all of last year. 😂

When you are setting up your Lightning node, choose your channel partners carefully. It is better to go with people you know and can reach out to when your node is down to let them know what is going on so they don't force-close the channel on you. Don't skimp on channel size, either. Stick with channels of at least 1m sats each, if not more.

You can buy inbound channels via Alby Hub, but in my experience there is no need to do so. There are often fellow plebs willing to open a channel to you to give you some starting inbound liquidity. Additionally, you can open a 2m sat channel, then use Boltz.exchange to send 1m of that back to yourself on-chain, or back into your cold storage. Then you have 1m sending and 1m receiving capacity in that channel. Thunderhub lets you specify exactly which channel you want to send the sats from when paying the invoice.

Again, feel free to reach out if you want some help. I'd be happy to open a channel to you when you are set up, too.

Not yet, that's probably the next thing on my to-do list before setting up lightning payouts

I've seen it go back and forth between online and offline a few times so I guess this is where the miner is not reaching minimum difficulty?

By public do you mean not behind Tor?

Yeah I just saw it pop up in the stats page and got excited haha. Next job is to setup CLN and my bolt offer 🤞

And so help to see that you work and signaling that you are online

The pool have a min diff 131.072 so you mine but because the diff what you find and send are below this you appear offline for the pool.

This difficulty is important for the pool to stop the low asic (make only spam)to estimate your hashrate and to have a measurement to distribute payments for you for your work.that is what I understand.

Setting up my #bitaxe to mine on nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze and all looks connected but on the stats page the worker shows up as offline 🤔 Any idea what I might have done wrong nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr?

#Bitaxe

I am on ocean.xyz/docs/datum-setup and I am still unsure whether I’ve got the correct node_ip and port. I have everything running on a Start9. If any plebs are willing to help me understand or share their setup that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll start having a look at these 🙏

You give me an idea,I attach another fan in the back,was 1 minute work and the temp is dropped with 3 C
