Am I ready to consider running a lightning node?
So, as I’m awaiting my Start9 I’m reviewing docs, supported software, and instructions and such, and I’m wondering if I should setup a Lightning Node.
I want to be able to use Zeus to send but even more importantly receive payments for my wife’s business.
So far, I’ve just basically been using exchanges like Strike to make lightning payments, or using primal wallet.
What do y’all think? I know that running a LN is not a get rich quick scheme and that it comes with investment of time, SATs, internet, server resources, and maintenance. The only benefits I’ve come across is supporting Bitcoin and savings on fees for my lightning transactions.
I just don’t want to be stupid and lose my ass😅 So please tell me what to research, or if you have the time or ability to, tell me what all I should take into consideration.
In case it’s helpful:
Looking at using a Server One, 16GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, with 1Gb internet connection.
⚡️Will be happy to zap for helpfulness ⚡️
GM and thanks for the follow! I’m liking the vibe of your profile already. Let’s be friends 🤙🏻
Yeah, it’s so refreshing having a social media of encouragement and good will towards mankind!
Good morning, I see you are about to leap further down the rabbit hole 🐇🕳️…. Soon you’ll be running a solo miner, have a bunch of Bitcoin books, and be posting nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 stickers on every street corner ☕️😊
I like where this rabbit hole is going then! And I mean I already read the Bitcoin standard, and I’m awaiting Saifedean’s other two books rn 🤣
GM Happy Friday Plebs ☕️
Almost there!
Kinda like my Start9 is almost here now, and I can’t wait to be a Node.
Be good to each other and, most of all, yourself!

GM Maria ☕️ Happy Friday and love the pic 💜
Enjoy your drive and I feel you, desks tend to do that 🤣
I enjoy spending my SATs, and I know, as a business, I’d much rather be paid in Bitcoin than fiat. So, if I see goods that I want that accept payment in Bitcoin, it entices me even to spend.
However, I do like to restack the SATs that I spent asap and I usually wouldn’t spend them if I cannot budget it within a week’s earnings.
I just spent the most I ever have in SATs for a purchase buying a Start9 yesterday. Felt good 👍
I’ve got a very exciting week to look forward to 🤤🤓🚀
Bitcoin is Love! 💜
GM Nostr ☕️ I hope you all have a wonderful day! I’m still just waiting to get started with Linux tomorrow
GM Mark☕️ Yes, I did a few weeks back! Congratulations are in order 🎊
Just bought a new laptop.
Gonna try to start out with bootloading Mokka Linux.
Wish me luck!
Q1) What is a dollar, exactly?
A1) A worthless piece of paper that used to represent a modicum of gold, but now represents how much faith I have in debt-based slavery.
Q2)What’s the real meaning of your bank balance?
A2)The amount of worthless papers tied to my name that can be exchanged for real money through Strike or River, or pay bills that only accept these worthless papers.
Important to note: this balance provides leverage for my bank to make money, so it’s important to me there’s not much there at a time.
Q3)What’s a eurodollar?
A3)The “genius” plan to replace gold with the country with the best bombs’ worthless papers.
Q4)How many dollars exist?
A4)Who knows, since the banks are incentivized to lie, we issue loans without basis, we have government computers that pay bills out of thin air, and that’s not to mention about the closed door process of printing paper money? We still haven’t even counted our real assets like gold in over half a century
Still learning how to repost apparently tho 😅

Did I get it right? 🤞
GM ☕️ Take care of yourself out there, and have a good day!
Good morning Nostr ☕️
And it’s an absolutely stellar morning to calculate your gains from your #Bitcoin investments 😁👍📈
