Any tips for good torrent sites for audiobooks?
Asking for a friend..
Except, we should not overlook the obvious address re-use..
Didn't even know airBaltic was accepting Bitcoin. But bitpay is a shit show, i wouldn't even feel tempted.
Better option is to find a local travel agency who can book tickets for you with cash, or you orange pill them 😉
And they require KYC, don't they? Utterly useless. Someone should make them obsolete
Amy Castor is a paid ETH sock puppet. Ignore.
Breez and Phoenix pretty good.
Valet (formerly known as Standard Sats) also interesting it offers out of the box stable channels, i.e. wallet balance is kept at a fixed fiat value (using perp futures behind the scene). Useful if merchants don't want to deal with the volatility.
Debian VM, on personal selfhosted HP Proliant server.
All new cars have a built-in SIM card, that you can't remove. Mine wanted to download a shitload of updates the first time I started it, FFS!
At least you can switch off network access through the privacy settings -- or so they make you believe..
I was fighting the other day with ufw, bind, rpcallow and tor proxy to expose Bitcoin RPC to my network - without breaking the other services on Raspiblitz (electrs).
And today I stumble across thisreally elegant solution by @coinos @asoltys
**Bitcoin proxy server**
An http server with a single POST /proxy endpoint that sends RPC methods and params to bitcoin core.
*would know the IP address (it gave the token to)
Not really the person
Ah of course, I confused server with the mint.
Because if they Mint were to issue the eCash/access_token, then it would know the new token and who it gave it to, right?
Can't you do that with a normal Bearer token?
You Pay LN invoice ➡️ Server return `access_token` ➡️ you include 'Bearer ${access_token}' in Header
The token validity could be based on how much you pay. e.g. 10sats per API call
What do you reckon is a decent system requirements for a VPS running Lnbits, Caddy, Wireguard that accesses a remote Postgres and LN node through a wg tunnel?
1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM sufficient? Or more CPU / RAM?
thx
I'd be really curious to see some stats from Nostr relay runners:
- Whats the size of your events database?
- How fast has it grown in the last month?
- How much did you have to increase hardware specs since running your relay?

Sad, but true.
It's a bit like shitcoinery vs bitcoinery
But when I think about it, all you'd really need is column encryption `pgcrypto` (client needs to provide a decryption key though.. maby a password?) at the database level. not 100% bullet-proof against a malicious server admin, but at least would guard you against database breaches from outside.
And if PG evere adds Transparent Data Encrpytion, than that would be a good option too.
I know. I'm talking about replacing the entries/invoice data in the LNbit Postgres/SQLite db somehow with blinded entries.
That said, I haven't looked into the Internals of the LNbits backend yet and might be talking out of my depth here. I seem to recall that all invoices are recorded in backend SQL, so the operator can supposedly see the user_id, wallet_id and LN invoice data of all users.
My comment was more meant as a general remark/design question:
"Could LNBits be made such that the above mentioned User data is shielded from the instance operator?"
Speaking of which: Why not switch LNBits' accounting method to blinded eCash? 😉
legend.lnbits.com for instance is probably one of the bigger custodians out there, but it would also encourage other people to host public instances
One could argue that custodial wallet providers should be using blinded ledgers aka eCash in their very own interest.
If they don't phsically record who owns what, they can't really be compelled by agencies to hand over that data.
[They may still be forced to shut down their service altogether for all kinds of regulatory reasons, e.g. being classified as Payment Service Provider, which doesn't have a license. But that's a different discussion, and the very same risk exists today - where they still record very user transaction unblinded]
It sure is.
Have you been to Prague? Great city, and host to the OG citadel (Paralelní Polis)

Beer = malted grains, hops, water and yeast.
Certainly not fancy stuff like "coffee taste". My mind still not change in that.
I hate to break it to you, but none of this is beer!
Stay away from fancy; beer is Lindy. Get yourself a proper Pilsner and be done with it.

I've got spare one of these nice WRT-ACM3200 babys, flashed with OpenWrt, sitting right next to me in the office..
That's because no Bitcoiners are on Twitter anymore 😉
