Nice! Waiting for Calyx to release their version. Anything new that stands out?

Payment worked! How do you go about getting a Zeus ln address? I currently use alby for zaps. Is the Zeus address non custodial?

DUMP YOUR RASPI NODES. Get a used mini PC or used laptop for cheap!

More powerful, only $45-75 on eBay (plus ~$65 2TB ssd, but you'd need that anyway for your Raspi node).

This HP EliteDesk 705 G4 is **overkill** for a node. 5 yrs old. Costs $75*.

Fan noise? Meh. Power draw? CPU's max draw is 35W.

Once it's done syncing, the video can't even pick up the fan running at idling speeds:

Cost to run:

15W * 24hrs / 1000W/kW * 12¢/kWh * 30 days = $1.30/mo

This cpu is 8.5x more powerful than a Raspi4.

A more pleb-friendly option is a used laptop. Has everything you need built-in (esp the BATTERY!!! Huge advantage vs Raspi). This HP ProBook 450 G3 is running an 8yr old i5-6200U (3.5x more powerful than a Raspi4). Also super-quiet and low power (15W max cpu draw).

Been looking to upgrade from a raspi for a while. What ssd are you using?

You're right, the mint can rug pull its users at any point. The way I see it its a very good way to pay or transfer btc with almost perfect privacy. Say you are paying someone who is in a sanctioned country, privacy is extremely important. Donations to a cause that may raise flags in certain juristictions would also be a good use case. I see it as a tool to help bitcoin become more censorship resistant while trading off its hard capped supply for better privacy. If you are spending btc to shop I think self custodial lightning would be the better tool since the sender has good privacy by default. However with custodial wallets, they can see all of their users txs.

If custodial wallets implemented ecash this privacy concern could be fixed which would be a great privacy win for users of Wallet of Satoshi since they are already trusting them, plus still giving the user an easy experience

Its a tool for certain circumstances. Obviously life savings can't be trusted with something like cashu. However, it does seem like a very good privacy tool for smaller amounts, even with those flaws. IMO I think the privacy gains are worth it for small txs. If you use it in that way, I could see why people aren't concerned with the trust model

Oh yeah. They see no need for it and dismiss it. Unfortunately I don't think most people will find the need for these tools until it is too late

Girl, you thought he was a man but he was a muffin!
