#lightning #fees #lnd #node
I'm really tired of bad node operator that do not take advantage of everything we have and expect for the LN network to work properly. If you have a node, please do this.
I recommend having an automatic fee automator like charge-lnd so channels don't become stagnant:
https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd
And put some negative inbound fees for channels with no liquidity:

Any question I will respond below.
A good starting configuration:
========
[encourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (lower fees so using outbound is more attractive)
chan.min_ratio = 0.98
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 0
fee_ppm = 0
[discourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (higher fees so using outbound is less attractive)
chan.max_ratio = 0.2
chan.min_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -64
inbound_fee_ppm = -16
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 1_000
fee_ppm = 700
[all-liquidity-is-theirs]
chan.max_ratio = 0.00
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -128
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 100_000
fee_ppm = 5000
[discourage-routing-extreme]
chan.max_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -32
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 10_000
fee_ppm = 2500
[proportional]
# 'proportional' can also be used to auto balance (lower fee rate when low remote balance & higher rate when higher remote balance)
# fee_ppm decreases linearly with the channel balance ratio (min_fee_ppm when ratio is 1, max_fee_ppm when ratio is 0)
chan.min_ratio = 0.2
chan.max_ratio = 0.98
strategy = proportional
min_fee_ppm = 8
max_fee_ppm = 160
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
base_fee_msat = 128
min_fee_ppm_delta=16
CLN anyone?
900 million tarrif impact in a revenue of 90 billion is just one percent !
Why people are so psyched up about #tariffs
#askNostr
It is not even a rounding error for #Apple

At the end of the day, tarrifs are just another tax. This means you're paying more the govt, but getting nothing more in return. In other words the govt is now having more resources and thus becoming stronger.
identity theft solves this 🤦♂️
Major explosions reported this morning near Russian-occupied Saki Airbase in Crimea, as Ukrainian attack drones swarm the peninsula.

Air raid sirens continuously sounding tonight in Russian occupied Sevastopol as the Crimean Bridge closes.
Will Putin cancel his parade?
as long as we have moles like Orban within the EU, ICC is unfortunately a joke ☹️
would it make a difference if the relay would run inside the Trusted Execution Environment with audited image?
⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 NOW - USA and Ukraine officially sign minerals agreement.

talk is cheap. Where are the actions? Putin is still occupying 20% of Ukrainian land!
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Ouch 🤦♂️
Introducing Following._ — a simple way to create and share follow packs on Nostr!

I spent months complaining that someone should build this... and eventually realized that someone had to be me. So here we are.
I also leaned heavily on AI during the process — it’s never been easier (or more fun) to create apps for open platforms like Nostr. If you have an idea, you really can just build it. No gatekeepers, no permission needed. Just ship it.
Peace
I don't get it. Why not just use hashtag?
That really really sucks 😭 Probably a year of resources we saved with renewables is now thrown away. Let's wait for the investigation to finish.
Moscow is gearing up for its Victory Day parade next week.

I hope Zelensky sends them a gift. Some drones dropping Putin f*ck off flyers would be nice.
Sorry, I missed the OP_RETURN debate. I thought the original issue was sending BTC to an unspendable address (which IMO is not so awful). But then I realized it's the blockchain size as whole.
At least in my country, the eng department is more applicable, dealing with tech stack. The CS is more about fundamentals, math, simulations. All PhDs I know of were CS. Employers most of the time don't care if you know how to build stuff and fit in the team.
who's that?
luckily everyone has a cellphone - to use it as a lamp 😁
true. Even bitcoin is not immune, if there's no cellular data.
28% is still a huge number tho
I wrote an xmpp client "jimmy" back in 2000s for java mobile before the android era. It worked fine on my Symbian back then.
Then we used it at our faculty. The jabberd server connected to our ldap too and fetched the directory of all employees so you could chat directly to anyone without messages ever leaving the building. This was around 2010s.
I stopped following dm clients then, but today I'd probably pick Matrix to do the same? Pure p2p chat is tricky. You will always need a kind of a server to store a message when you're offline.
**Netanyahu Reveals Details of Mossad's Beeper Operation**
Netanyahu: "In the third week of September, we discovered that Hamas — or rather Hezbollah — had sent three beepers to be scanned in Iran. We had previously bombed a scanner they planned to use, taking out both the device and its operator. But now they had this new method — and it only required a tiny amount of TNT.
Months earlier, a Mossad officer had briefed me, showing me the beeper. I asked him, 'Is that really enough? How much TNT is in there?' He replied, 'I don’t know... nanograms, something like that.'
I said, 'What’s that gonna do? That’s nothing!' He insisted, 'Oh no, it'll work.'
So I grabbed the beeper and threw it against the wood paneling in my office — and it left a dent. I said, 'Alright, go ahead.'
But just when we were ready to move, we found out they were scanning it. When I heard about it, I was furious. I asked, 'Why didn’t you tell me earlier?' They said, 'It happened a few days ago.'
I pressed them, 'How long does a scan take?' They told me it could be done in a day.
I said, 'Then we have to act immediately.'"
