Happy #SatStackerSunday! What a mempool eh folks? I think Plebnet Noderunnings reached a new ATH for messages sent in a single day! As both heavily involved in the Bitcoin Mining arena as well as Lightning, RecklessApotheosis is crazy excited as well as mildly concerned over the number of transactions being mined every block! We had a slow routing week, only growing by a single channel, but at least we didn't lose any for the second week running! Which, given the painful FC fees people are reporting, we are hugely blessed to have escaped so far! Routing slowed way down, likely due to de-risking by other routing nodes and a reduction in global rebalances, also the reduction in newly opened channels resulted in a reduction of local balancing of new channels. We only routed 65m sats over 515 transactions, but hey, no closures! So I'm counting this as a win! Also we're planning a Plebnet meetup on Thursday the 18th in Miami, more details to follow hopefully! Remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis (should you dare) and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

Also if you weren't aware, GrapheneOS latest release provides full GCam functionality without the need to install the sandboxed Play Services. So you don't need to use Play Store, install from Aurora Store if you wish and it'll just work.

Need anything else please reach out.

The Bitcoin you have to report on your taxes every year.

Bitcoin doesn’t protect you from this at all. They can still throw you in prison.

Ran a 3:36 which I’m very happy with considering I had Covid 6 weeks ago and it hit me pretty hard. Just glad to finish and be part of such an awesome, inspiring day!

Here’s why I know we’ll win… I ran the Paris Marathon yesterday w 50,000 others. And the energy of all, the beauty of the people and the city, the crowds, the drumming band, the positivity, the pain and joy, the determination. Wow, just wow!

The collective power of hundreds of thousands was just epic. It revitalizes my faith in the beauty of people, and the world.

What's the name of this animal?

Pixel 7 (best value) or Pixel 7 Pro (+1 for the camera). You will never regret. #GrapheneOS is a new dimension. Unbeatable in terms of security or privacy. Not to mention the stability. This is the best Android phone experience I ever had.

What if Balajis is right about the timeline? Not likely, but possible given this week’s developments

Work on Zeus v0.7.5 is already underway:

- New camera

- SATSCARD support

- Handling of in-flight payments

- New display for payment paths

- New pop-up modal for when you're leaving the app

- Bunch of refactors

What would you like to see in Zeus next?

Fairly certain those numbers are highly inaccurate though. My node’s IP resolves to digital ocean, but that’s just the clearnet tunnel. My node is self-hosted with a TOR fallback. No funds are actually held on Digital ocean and even if they went down I could keep on routing just fine.

Aren’t there node runners who use cloud providers only to obfuscate their ip? That would skew this graph

Shitty upbringings can make your life miserable, if you don't deal with them past your 40s.

Thanks Evan! One thing: I think it would make it quicker and easier if the pay lightning invoice button was up higher on the page so one doesn’t have to scroll down to find it 🙏⚡️

This little beauty is doing a way better job to protect my purchasing power than all the central bankers combined. #Bitcoin
