bitcoin and freedom. Lightning is a settlement layer. My opinions do not reflect anyone but myself.

Life is so much better when you just stack #bitcoin, and enjoy life. I used to get stressed and frustrated with things in the world outside my control. Now I just focus on my bubble. It's much better. I feel pity for people who wake up and the first thing they do is look at the news so they can get the rush of feeling angry. Start doing what you love and just let the rest flow off your back like water.

I feel like I got mine pretty well sorted...There is an open source alternative to everything. People don't even realize it. And more often than not, imo, the open source is better than the popular closed source option.

fuck both my drafts got uploaded. im such a nub. oh well.

Anyone else feeling this? #bitcoin

lol there is a newbie that showed up at my #bitcoin meetup this week. He said in our meetup telegram that river.com looks like FTX and wants to use something called rocket exchange to trade "crypto." Instant kick?

I added a nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg integration on TimechainCalendar.com to accept donations directly via Lightning and on-chain bitcoin.

BTCPay is easy to setup and empowering to use. Legendary!

the slider is whack, but love to see btcpay in the wild. Need some inbound?

G-Spot, more peers, more capital, more channels, better age, more centrality. BUT...without THROUGHPUT and EFFICIENCY, it doesn't matter! Fiatpoor, much smaller, only 26 channels, younger, less centrality, but ranked higher. Why? Because Fiatpoor is routing payments more efficiently, predictably, and successfully. This is what matters. #bitcoin #lightningnetwork #efficiency

Any lightning network service can become NON CUSTODIAL all they have to do is implement Lightning Node Connect. Any custodial service has no excuse at this point.

You pay a routing fee to every node on the network that is participating in routing the payment back to your node via the channel you specified. This fee can be high, so it is important to take note and only do it if you are expecting to earn that fee back or more from forwarding through the channel that the circular payment increased the outbound of. It's simple but tough to explain.

Who said the #bitcoin #lightningnetwork was just for small payments again? Routed this beefy tx the other day...

If you are performing a self payment on your lightning node, be sure to set your ppm high enough so you can at least break even on the channel you increased the outbound of. To calculate this:

RoutingFee / amountRouted * 1000000 = ppm to set to break even assuming the channel fully drains.

I will be talking about this and more at The Atlanta Bitcoin Conference! tabconf.com / https://github.com/TABConf/2023.tabconf.com/issues/68

an anti-bluecheck shitcoiner has more respect from me than a bluecheck bitcoiner.

So awesome! Kiddo is going to have an amazing time with his dad growing up!
