it's fixed. can u zap one more time please? thanks for all the help!
can I reach out to you on signal? username: ripsline.01
thank you! I think you're right about CORS. I just implemented a fix, can you test it out? i'll zap you back.
received the zap and notification. had to add nostr.wine relay!
Daedalus, you are attacking our business model by saying that VPNs and email alias' are attack vectors. I appreciate your kind words and happy to answer your questions. However, you are creating FUD on our business due to concerns with VPNs? Common.
I also don't understand your point. We can see the IP address (just like every website in the world) of our users. And we know the email used to sign up so we can send order details and support users.
If a government subpoena's us, how would a user be deanonymized? The government would see an IP address that is not theirs and an email hopefully not tied to their personal identity.
We purchase the Virtual Private Server at cost for 1 year (~$200). The email provided to us at checkout is used so only you have access to your VPS client portal. After 1 year, you will have to pay the VPS provider ~$200 for the second year and so on.
When you purchase through us, we provide ongoing support and a custom script that makes the installation process easier. In the order credentials file, we encourage users to not trust us but to review the script before they run it themselves... they can even paste it into chatgpt to check for malware.
We never provide SSH credentials to the user, the VPS provider emails those directly to ripsline user.
Users are encouraged to provision their own VPS and run the script themselves. Users who know the value of their time will quickly see that our one-time setup fee, which includes ongoing support, is a far better investment than spending their time figuring it out on their own.
There are no deanonymizing attack vectors if user checkouts with email alias, VPN, and fake domain name. All highlighted on our site: https://ripsline.com
yes, receiving zaps from other users. happy to have you continue testing but hard to debug with the limited information. I tried to DM.
You never have to worry about revealing your IP address. Trade-offs are that ripsline Virtual Private Node is pruned, and you have to trust the VPS provider to not breach terms and access the hardware you rent. Our focus is to provide users with a lightning node, Sparrow Wallet is a nice addition for people who seek an on-chain wallet node backend. With expensive home nodes, you will either leak your IP address OR conceil your IP by using TOR and deal with connectivity issues on lightning.
VPS is better for digital nomads.
thanks. it is something we considered: selling physical hardware w/ BTCPay. However, we feel running BTCPay on a VPS has significant benefits.
All these points were considered in the architecture of our implementation. It is evident you spent <5mins checking out the site. Else you would see the issues highlighted above are accounted for.
1. the Flow Chart that is highlighted in the How It Works section of our Buy page: users are encouraged to set up a Dedicated Device prior to Virtual Private Node purchase. *We envision users to setup device level VPN and use email alias for purchase.
2. This implementation is literally run on a VPS... We never have root access to the server, that information is emailed directly from VPS provider to ripsline user's email provided at checkout. Even so, they cannot access the VPS until root password is changed. We merely provision the VPS for end user, they maintain VPS credentials always.
3. You can check custom installer for malicious LND software as the script is FOSS viewable here: https://github.com/ripsline/Virtual-Private-Node
4. The last two points do not make sense because we never have any information other than user's email and domain name (can use fake domain name which is also highlighted on the site).
everything has been tested and is working as expected.
how do i link my mastodon to my nostr?
nostr:nprofile1qqswa8vhnelpgx9f7arjhtuzmjtqs2sdgfgmw77tzu9xankf87kl7eqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgmwaehxw309a6xsetxdaex2um59ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0dpshvetw9eskxcmfdak8jtnnda3kjctv9uns7cwt i see that you have done this
probably similar to this guide: ripsline.com/docs/nip-39
new guide on how to setup X (Twitter) Status w/ Proof on Nostr:
we did some zap tests on this note… we made one attempts to⚡zap this note, at zap@btcpay.ripsline.com, over a period of about 60 seconds. zero of the zaps were successfully paid... your server did produce invoices, however, we were unable to successfully pay the invoices. it may be that your node or wallet service was offline at the time we attempted the zaps. the actual error we got was 'route not found'... which is an unfortunately vague error that lightning payments sometimes produce. this means our payment node could not find a path to your node. (it could also be that your node was online at the time of payment, but did not have sufficient inbound capacity to receive payments.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
hey! I doing maintence and changing my lightning address yesterday to zap@ripsline.com. it looks cleaner than the btcpay prefix. that's why it didn't work. can you test now?

I would say you have to spend it.
