Of course he knows they won't work. He's paid to steal them, not steal and sell them.

This is nothing more an insurance scam.

Market downturn. Slow sales. Have to move stock. Pay some junkie two hundred bucks and you get a ten grand insurance claim for shit you can't sell.

Zeus isn't a wallet, it's only a UX to whichever wallet you have. It's common to use Zeus with an LND wallet which runs quite well on mobile phones using neutrino rather than a full Bitcoin node. Probably more common to use Zeus as a remote mobile UX to a full node running LND or CLN.

So, your lightning wallet choices are Phoenix or LND on mobile. Your privacy options using mobile lightning wallets are limited.

Running a TOR only full LND node from a PC is the only way to be truly private with lightning. There's a half dozen options for interfacing with it other than Zeus. BitBannana is also popular.

You can even use a miniPC which uses bugger all power.

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.'

Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947

Wouldn't that defeat the entire premise of Monero if it's users were to out themselves?

All conservative judges and politicians are corrupt to the core. Corruption is the foundation that conservatism is built upon. Their business model is to take bribes from rich people while crushing any attempt by the working class for a better slice of the pie.

They get the evangelical churches to tell the ignorant fools that this is what their God wants. And, they all believe that an alien creature that inhabits some sort of alternative realm is concerned about US economy. Not the Italian economy. Not the Irish economy. Just the US economy. And the peasants better suffer in silence while the Righteous Gemstones get rich.

Conservatism is synonymous with corruption. Always has been. Always will be.

Can someone explain to me why all these MAGA men who believe homosexuality is a sin, have so much homoerotic artwork of Trump?

Ah, ok. I've won that argument now that you've started with the personal insults.

Why don't you take your own advice and stick to the topic rather than degrading yourself like that.

You have a lightening node that you've opened public announced channels, but you think you have a private node. The evidence is you complaining about having to balance channels which you don't have to do with private channels.

So, you don't have any idea about how to setup LND as a private lightning wallet, instead, you setup a poorly optimised, low liquidity, badly connected public routing node because you didn't do any research. And now you just complain about nothing working properly.

Your own ignorance is your problem.

Private node?

You opened multiple channels in unannounced mode? Why are you balancing them then? They're private, they don't route. Private channels work better when they're not balanced. Surly you've read the manual and know that?

Only public channels need to be balanced. They work better when they are balanced because it provides paid routing opportunities to route other people's payments.

Private channels never route payments so being balanced doesn't do anything for you apart from waisting fees balancing the channels. There's no point balancing private channels.

RTFM

> 1. I'm describing end user nodes. Every node has to manage liquidity and routes

No it doesn't. Fuck off with your bullshit. At least go an RTFM before making such stupid statements.

Or, you're not ignorant and you're intentionally lying to push a shitcoin.

Let me guess, if I do a quick look into your history, is there a lot of shitcoin promoting there?

Soooo...what's the bet? Is he an ignorant fool or shitcoin scammer?

But, you just described a public routing node which is not, I repeat, NOT for regular users. First off, and this is really important, it's PUBLIC. When has anything designed for public use, ever been suitable for private use?

A public routing node provides routing services for the lightning network for fun and profit. It has to ADVERTISE itself to the world to attract other nodes to connect to, and use it's services.

A public routing node requires a good working knowledge of Linux CLI and the knowledge and ability to secure an Internet facing server. It's advertising itself to the world. It's going to be attacked. Add to that a static IP, decent bandwidth, and a fairly grunty machine if it gets busy.

And, liquidity. If you haven't got a decent chunk of Bitcoin to provide a significant number of channels with enough liquidity to be useful to the network, you're waisting your time, money, electricity, hardware and effort.

This is not the setup a regular person needs for a lightning wallet.

End uses use a private, non-routing non-custodial wallet that doesn't need to be online 24/7, doesn't need channels balanced, because it doesn't route other people's payments. It uses unannounced private channels so neither the wallet, the node, or the channels will show on any lightning network maps, or be traceable in any way. There's litterly no way to ever know if a private wallet exists.

A private non-routing non-custodial lightning wallet, is private. No channels it uses can be seen by anyone. No payments made, or received can be traced by anyone.

This setup can run on a cheap mobile phone. And there's plenty of options for private, non-routing, non-custodial lightning wallets for mobile phones.

Phoenix wallet has to be the easiest non-custodial, non-routing wallet to use. I have used Phoenix, now I use Zeus on mobile.

Your NIP-05 isn't working.

You could backup to your own server using open source software rather than relying on third parties. I use the open source Syncthing to backup my phone including photos automatically.

Setting up a simple Linux server on old hardware is pretty cheap to do and surprisingly effective. Setting up a private network of cloud servers spread across a couple of households so you can provide secure, private, cloud services for your extended family isn't too complicated either.

I personally use rune stones to make my financial decisions.

Actually, it did work. Just not showing in Amethyst.

Just tried, didn't work.

Zaps go to your lightning address. You don't need a NIP-05 address to receive zaps.

Having the same address for both your lightning address and NIP-05 address like I do, it's cool looking, ensures the correct person is getting zapped, etc. But, it's just for looks. It's why they're called Vanity Addresses. 😏

The onlynostr.club vanity address I use, it's just simple redirect to my actual lightning address. Click on the link and take a look at how these vanity addresses work.

For instance, to get it to be your lightning and NIP-05 address, select Forward as the node type, and enter https://vipsats.app/.well-known/lnurlp/btcbackpacker to forward payments to your wallet.

Other than that, yeah, it doesn't really matter if you don't have a NIP-05 address. Just looks cool when you use your own domain or a vanity address.
