So I just used a Bitcoin ATM for the first time, more for fun and the experience than anything. The markup is utterly insane. $131,000 Bitcoin price.

I guess that’s what you pay to not have to use your SSN? Now what? Move in the Bisq or something? Quite the hassle and doesn’t really feel as though it’s 1. Private, or 2, protecting my money, seeing as the machine has a camera, and they know my wallet address now? And then any wallets it interacts with? Can somebody please make a positive case for bitcoin ATMs? Also, I called their customer support line and it just straight up said “if you are law enforcement, press 1” so obviously these are being used for wacky things.

Anyways? Continue hodling I guess

How are people going to find #lightning zaps of 10 or 20 zaps compelling when the fees to transaction on chain are over 1500 sats? So you’re telling me I’d need to receive a lot of zaps just to justify the cost of moving this money into a lightning channel. Maybe for some this is simple but for the average person this doesn’t feel compelling. How can we fix this?

The h1-b pushback on x is ultimately what brought me here. No matter your stance on the issue, Elons comments about “going to war” for this issue have resulted in a lot of shadow bans and censorship. It’s all more of the same

#censorship

I found that it’s rather expensive to open lots of new channels and to get liquidity. How many should I even be connecting with?

I have no idea what I’m doing lol. I sent sats to a lightning channel (bitrefil) but I’m learning now evidently I don’t have any inbound capacity, even though have sats in my bitcoin fullnode (with lightning) on raspiblitz.

This shit is complicated as fuck, no wonder it’s taking so long for people to figure this stuff out

Private lightning node

lol I couldn’t redeem from Zeus pay, finally put my own entire address in from my node

How come I didn’t need to generate or import a key pair…? I just signed up lol

Cool thanks!

First off, this broadcast Apple Music thing is pretty cool. Not sure how to use it - but also why doesn’t X have something like that? lol? Don’t they have way more resources?

Whoa! It worked. Thanks to whoever!

I just did on Zeus, can you try again? It’s

lightning:djbruhhh@zeuspay.com

I really hope this isn’t interpreted as spam but can somebody please try this for me? I just setup my own lightning node and and got a channel going, this is a receive function from Zeus wallet. It’s only 10 sats.
