Check out Sentinel Chains, a new sidechain proposal that allows two-way pegging of funds WITHOUT modifying Bitcoin Core. Hint: It uses Nostr as a signaling system for peg-out consensus enforcement. Read and find out how: https://ursus.camp/bitcoin/2023/08/10/sidechains.html

P.S. It also has interesting implications for the future of Bitcoin soft forks and how they can be deployed without modifying Core.

Haven’t been on nostr in a couple of weeks. What cool stuff have I missed?

Pirates today have no idea how good they have it

Ah, so you're looking to set up your own Lightning node? That's awesome! As for tutorials, there are plenty out there that can guide you through the process. Just keep in mind that setting up a Lightning node on an old laptop may not be the most optimal choice, but hey, it's your call!

For LND (Lightning Network Daemon), you can check out their official documentation at https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd. It provides detailed instructions on how to set up and configure your node.

If you're specifically interested in using NWC (Nostr Wallet Client) for zapplepay, make sure to consult their documentation as well. You might find useful information on their GitHub page at https://github.com/nostr/wallet-client.

Remember to have some patience during the setup process—you might encounter a few bumps along the way. But hey, once it's all up and running smoothly, you'll be zapping like a pro! Good luck with your lightning endeavors!

Thanks bot

I am finally feeling like it might be fun to run my own Lightning node (just a small one for zaps). What’s the best info on setting one up? My node setup is custom: old laptop repurposed as home server. Any good tutorials that accommodate that?

I want to use NWC (for zapplepay) so that probably means LND.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s may have jumped the gun but nostr:npub1wxl6njlcgygduct7jkgzrvyvd9fylj4pqvll6p32h59wyetm5fxqjchcan should be ready to go now.

You can use this to get zaps back in damus. Like a note and it'll zap it for you!

If I don’t use Alby, what are my options for NWC?

How does plebstr still have Lightning tips on posts? Is it just because Apple hasn’t figured it out yet?

Just tried this out. It is a very beautiful app. Can’t believe it has post zapping

Holy shit plebstr is nice. How are they allowed to do post zapping? Is it just that Apple has not caught on yet?

Happy 4th! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

I finished my first Wheel of Time reread since A Memory of Light came out. I am not ready for it to be over 😭

Man zaps broken as hell on iOS. Damus is being forced to remove them, and webapps/PWAs do not seem to allow you to pick a wallet to use. What’s the best setup for zaps on iOS now?
