yes, I got it later that day, thanks!
I had not received it when I posted that..
What is this popup on the web based nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg app? Never seen it before and it smells very fishy.. has nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg been compromised??
15 years ago I went from being 85 pounds overweight to winning 5K trophies in the span of about a year... I'd like to share some free advice:
1. The habit is everything. I remember in the beginning I could only walk, and running a mile seemed impossible. Set realistic distance goals and push yourself gradually. It will take time for you to "like" running, but it will happen. Find something that you enjoy doing while running (podcasts, audiobooks, music, etc) and keep that exclusively for running. Eventually I got to a point where not running felt wrong.
2. The biggest challenge for me was "watching the clock." I found it best to do something that kept me from checking the time constantly.
3. Breathing is a big deal - someone once told me that if you can't carry on a conversation while you are running then your lungs aren't strong enough for the pace you're keeping. Work up gradually until your lung capacity catches up to your speed
4. Watch your form! I'm sad to say that I didn't, and ultimately that was what ended my running days. I hurt my knee (torn meniscus) and was devastated when I was told that the damage was done and that if I kept on running I would be stuck in an endless cycle of injury and surgeries
I think you missed mine too...

Doesn’t really help out our case for privacy not being a crime though
You don’t live in the suburbs.. I may be able to walk to the grocery store in under 10 minutes, but I would almost certainly die. If I don’t get run over by a soccer mom in an SUV larger than Nebraska then some kid on his phone going 70 on a suburban street will be the end of me.
Not everywhere is equally walkable unfortunately.
Unless something has changed (and it’s been several years since I looked at one up close) the ones I’ve seen all ask for your driver’s license if you want to buy
What realistic no KYC options are there for US users?
8G ram and 480G SSD. I use a second 3T spinning drive to store the blocks since they don’t need to be on a fast drive - only the indexes and chainstate. The blocks folder is a symlink to the slower (and larger) drive.
This works because core doesn’t do random I/O on the blocks - they are written and read sequentially, so a regular hard drive works fine.
Raspberry Pi 4 with a usb3 ssd attached. The new Pi 5s have better support for NVME drives, so you don’t need the external drive anymore. I haven’t felt the need to update the hardware though - the 4 is powerful enough for personal use (I wouldn’t try running a public electrum server on it, but for private use it works fine)
After playing around with several tools, I settled on the following:
Bitcoin Core - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
Fulcrum - https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum
Mempool.space - https://github.com/mempool/mempool
Alby Hub - https://github.com/getAlby/hub
This gives me the bare minimum (node, electrum server, blockchain explorer, and lightning node).
I had a full LND node running for a while but managing it became a pain, so I shut it down and went with Alby Hub instead.
I agree 100%. I like being able to run whichever version / flavor I want when I want to. Unfortunately I see big names in the Bitcoin space pushing people towards the all-in-one solutions, and in some cases actively discouraging the do-it-yourself approach..
start9 / umbrel / mynode / etc vs your own Linux server?
I've always avoided the prebuilt solutions and set up my own node from the ground up starting with the OS. What are the pros / cons of the two approaches? #bitcoin #asknostr
