LNbits v1 has an insanely cool exchange rate tracker that aggregates data from multiple sources for fiat pricing. The insights are fascinating—some clear arbitrage opportunities out there. Bitfinex seems to consistently trade #bitcoin at a premium. 🤔

I did it for a while... To dopamine invoking. Went back to just checking in instead, and like it much better.

Little over 5 TH/s on 95 watt.

I've been testing the new avalon nano 3s for the past several days mining to my own solo pool connected to my node. I think it's a solid micro-miner for experimentation. It consistently exceeds the claimed 6 TH/s per device, often reaching over 7 TH/s which is quite impressive running on about 130 watts of power consumption. I haven't encountered any heating issues or any other hardware problems. The overall build quality is excellent. That said, don’t buy this expecting to hit a block, it's strictly for experimentation unless you consider yourself one of the luckiest people on earth.

tried it for a while, but the latest versions of Amethyst notify well enough 🤝

Im working on a decentralized, nostr based video platform. At the moment the videos must be hosted by a desktop app called "WebTorrent Desktop" then the magnet link can be posted to nostr along with a title, description and thumbnail image.

Its still in early development and missing many features.

But viewers and audiences can also help support the video hosting.

My skin has never felt better.

Nah one of the things I like about Nostr clients is that I don't receive notifications as a default. 😂

What do y’all do with your zaps?

Most of the time, I zap probably about equal to what I get zapped unless I produced some sort of higher quality content that gets a lot more.

I personally, treat lightning zaps as “fun money” and everything in cold storage or on-chain as “serious money”.

When my lightning wallet goes up from zaps, I do not stack those sats.

Those go directly back into the nostrsphere either by purchasing a product (e.g., my nostr.build account, damus subscription, or merch/art from other nostr users). The rest, I zap to the devs of projects I use or to artists I want to support.

BUT, since I treat all lightning transactions as “fun money”, SOMETIMES I zap out more than I get and therefore need more sats in the wallet. When this happens, I ask my husband to send me some sats, but then…I’m kind of mooching off of his stack, which isn’t ideal and dips into the “serious money” we’re supposed to be just holding.

I think this means I am not bringing enough value (I’m super inconsistent with content) to the space and am more of a value-enjoyer than producer.

An ongoing theme with bitcoiners is to stack and hold on for dear life, but I enjoy participating in the nostr/zap ecosystem too much.

What kind of hardware are you mining with?
