BTC 100% and going down the Lightning and Golang rabbit hole.

It was more about what Portainer is. This was the first that I've heard of it. Thanks.

Did a quick lookup on portainer. I can see were that would be useful for alot of folks.

But for me I always try to minimize the number of abstraction levels that I have to deal with.

I'm having trouble getting up and running with boltz. RTL gives me an error when trying to make a swap like it get's html instead of json. (error 500 got < instead of json)

Also, this link is broken

https://github.com/BoltzExchange/boltz-client/blob/master/boltzrpc/rest-annotations.yaml

There's nothing here about the boltz server setup for RTL

This works for me.

RTL is for connecting to a Lightning node LND or CLN.

My AlbyHub and extension are flakey. It was working at one point in time but after Alby removed the self-custody wallet on 1/3 it broke. Then started working again on 1/25 after the extension was upgraded and now is on the blink again. Might just setup CoinOs as my zap wallet.

If wallet is non-custodial, then one should be fine. But I bet most will get sucked into using their other software. Why not just go with Sparrow wallet?

Took me only 2 hours to integrate nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqefkqrk into my business. Saylor holds almost 500K BTC, yet his company’s merch store doesn’t accept Bitcoin. Lead the way with actions!

Roger that. Here is my small usage of BTCPay server. It's a start though.

Next jump is to test out the Greenfield API.

I'd think twice before using Proton software. They froze my account about a year ago for no apparent reason. The account did get re-enable after a lot of back and forth.

Anyway bottom line. Avoid any centralized service or software that has ability to lock you out.

He seems to be everwhere. 😂

Put together a PowerShell script called, Get-NewNostrKeys. It is using nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqypgn65z37z7lejhdyatwa7mdpszc73ap0zvgut766re5hku2vgszv55mk66 nostr-keys-generator code. And looks like this.

For 21 sats, it can be downloaded from my BTCPAY Point of Sale app. If your interested in doing the same, the 'File Seller' plugin needs to be installed. This seems to be working without any issues.

Where are we gonna go from here? Seems like things are all mixed up right now. People idolizing corporate big wigs who are buying Bitcoin and doing the old bait and switch with ETFs. Our newer generation of Bitcoiners who idolize Saylor while you barely hear a mention in the feeds theses days of one of the greatest advocates of Bitcoin I have ever seen, Andreas Markos Antonopoulos.

This is freedom tech and I see very little freedom these days or even the give a fuck about freedom. I see a bunch of "What's the value today?" posts. What would you do if Bitcoin went to zero? Would you still support it? Would you still cry for freedom? Would you run a node or miner for the sake of securing one of the greatest introductions into mankind's history that could truly work to free him from the control of money-hungry oligarchs and tyrants?

I guess ask yourself why you are really into all of this. Is it about money or is it about really being free? Along with things like Nostr we are making a truly decentralized world where we all have a say, not just a group of 12 or so faceless billionaires in a meeting room deciding what you and your family and friends lives are going to be like. Who has a better idea of what a man's life is to be but the man himself?

I hope it crumbles. But a controlled crumble so some of us good, hard-working folk can get out relatively unscathed. I wish nothing for all of you but the very best and to live your life without someone's boot on your neck. Let's fucking do this because I am over it. I just want to be left alone and not messed with if I am not hurting anyone. And I expect not to be robbed of my energy from someone or some group that hasn't met me in person, but have deemed it ok to take what I have given my own personal energy for.

It's about time light rules over darkness and I am happy I have found a pool of light here on Nostr. You all take care of one another. They won't, so we have to.

Roger that. United we stand and divided we fall. Not sure if anything I'm doing is making a difference. But I'd rather try and fail than doing nothing and fail.

Almost fully recovered from losing my job over the COVID JAB mandate. Been running a full node (Tor only) for next to ever and have a BTCPay/LND instance running in the cloud for about 2 years now.

Thinking about taking the plunge and doing lotto bitcoin mining.

I always support our local farmers and businesses first and only in a forced instance do I use the corporate shit heads.

GM Nostr 🌞

I'm starting my day with an #askNostr

If you're a dev and you're looking for an impactful project to help on, White Noise would love to have you. A small group of us have started alpha testing and there's LOTS to do. Small bug fixes, improvements to the UI, and many features all waiting patiently to be worked on - https://github.com/erskingardner/whitenoise/issues

I've done my best to build the project to be easy to understand and easy to collaborate on and I've very willing to help you get setup. The app is Rust on the backend and Sveltekit on the frontend.

Ping me directly or be a cypherpunk and just clone the project, start writing code and submit PRs. 🙏

Wow! Looks great, I'll install and start studying the code. But, I have a few other dragons that need to be slain first.

I'm on target to get 2 life sentences plus 40 years. Anyone willing to joy me? 🤣 But seriously, this is what it takes to the Bitcoin battle ahead of us.

My zapper is broken (AlbyHub and Extension). Is it possible to publish a lightning address on the BTC sessions nostr profile? If so, I can just send sats directly from AlbyHub.

Thanks for all the great tutorials you do!!
