I’m not at BTC23 because:

1. It’s in Miami

2. I don’t attend shitcoin conferences

I said what I said. 🤙

So weird. Just swapped it to WOS. Thanks for letting me know.

A great day for a refresher.

Muun released that info on Twitter a couple years ago. You learn the nuances by asking questions, following good people on here, going to meetups, hop in a bitcoin spaces, podcasts, plebnet.org, and by making lots of mistakes.

Check out terminal.lightning.engineering for top nodes.

The benefits are dependent on who they’re connected with. By opening to one well connected node, you can send payments to almost anyone. You can also receive payments if there are sats on their side. If you want to be a routing node (not for everyone) then you’ll need a bunch of well connected channels.

When you buy bitcoin in the buy tab of strike and send it to a wallet there are no fees. When you send fiat to a wallet, you’re exposed to the fees.

Insane. We call this “bitcoin tuition fees.” 😂 Drop me an invoice and I’ll pay it back. Change your custodial tipping wallet to Wallet of Satoshi.

Using Muun is your first problem - they do submarine swaps and isn’t real lightning so fees are astronomical. You’ll always be exposed to on chain fees while on chain. You have to run a node and open lighting channels from your on-chain balance. Once on lightning, those channels theoretically can be open forever. If you’re using custodial wallets for now then I would swap to Wallet of Satoshi. Some people will recommend Phoenix too but I haven’t played with it yet. Blitz wallet is a way to run a node on your phone. Otherwise check out plebnet.org for node running.

Your lightning channels just became so much more valuable. ⚡️

This will hopefully be the kick people need to move all payments to lightning and incentivize exchanges to incorporate lightning withdrawals. #bitcoin

I’m running S9s. One for a space heater, one for my hot tub.

Fees now larger than subsidy 👀

Great day to plug in a miner…or learn about the lightning network. ⚡️
