I took the 10% pledge https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/pledge

"read only = true" in the rsyncd.conf. If that's not secure, please let me know :)

When the project started, FTP was still in active use und most other mirror servers had similar names. FTP still works, by the way.

It's already running as a HiddenService: ybfe3kvc73pu3vxtizi5ppadmrmohabuwz6odabzukhi5vb6xfcfrpad.onion:8333

On https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de you can find...

- a full Bitcoin node (top 10 according to bitnodes.io)

- a Nostr relay

- Tor relays (guard, over 2 GBit/sec)

- 28 TByte worth of open source software (with rsync access)

All of that is served via IPv4 & IPv6, up to 20 GBit/sec, with lots of fast storage. Enjoy!

OK, it's much less interesting. 2M sats from okx to LOOP, saving 2k sat in fees. That's it. I guess I have to wait a bit longer to see interesting results ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Sorry, I made a mistake in my script, this data most likely is very wrong. I'll post an update asap.

Shortly after I made http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ a Tor relay (up to 20 GBit/sec!), rsync access to openEuler's main server in China stopped working. It's still accessible from other hosts, though. I blame politics.

I wrote down my thoughts/rules on how I'll set inbound fee rates on my #LightningNetwork node c-otto.de once I start using lnd v0.18:

Which Web UI for #nostr are you using? For me, iris.to and snort.social (the same?) don't work reliably. They start with an empty "For you" list, old notifications re-appear as new, sometimes the whole page doesn't load (applies to both).

Please help me understand the lightning network. It seems running a node for 6 years isn't enough to understand what's going on.

I see three requests on my webserver, all of them successfull and "redirecting" the actual payment to Stacker News. Maybe the issue is on their side. I received your sats, though - thanks a lot!

I just did a transaction which took advantage of negative inbound fees ๐Ÿš€

#bitcoin #LightningNetwork

October 2013. Instead of completing my PhD thesis, I fooled around on the Internet and found a #bitcoin faucet. I guess I had to solve a few captchas or so, and in the end I was rewarded with 0.02 US$ worth of Bitcoin, 15,000 sats after deducting the on-chain transaction fees.

March 2024. I can now buy myself a coffee with that. Using Bitcoin. Life's crazy.

Hi nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9, do you run your own lightning node? If so, how do you pick your peers for (I assume) mostly personal, low-volume transactions? Thanks!
