Strange. Wonder if it’s easier to create fake accounts with SMS 2FA than Authenticator

So weird

WTF is this..? Musk has ordered 2FA text messages only for Twitter Blue subscribers. Has given people until tomorrow to fix it.

You're just using it as a Bitcoin offramp? What are the fees?

Do that! I can confirm that it was a great project with my 10 year old.

I run a everything on a Raspberry Pi 4 and a 3 year old laptop. The laptop cost me $150. The Raspberry Pi 4 + 1TB SDD cost me $165. It's pretty cheap and low maintenance.

What kind of production site are you referring to? But yes, all of these things should be separate containers/servers.

They are two separate programs which can run at the same or different machines. Doesn’t matter!

The Lightning „Program“ needs a connection to the Bitcoin „Program“.

Normally you run both on the same machine. This can easily be done with #[2] or a raspiblitz installation.

But you can also install and configure both on your day to day pc or one you are using only for this use case

I’m not the most qualified person to answer the technical questions, but Lightning is a scaling layer on bitcoin, so it relies on a fully-synced bitcoin node to function. There is more than one implementation, so node operators can choose which one they prefer. For example, if you want to run LND, you would install that software on the same system as your bitcoin node so it can refer to a local copy of the blockchain to perform channel actions.

Tagging a few people here who can probably give you better answers.

Lightning is a separate layer. While different implementations handle this differently, they all follow the same hierarchy. Bitcoin is the base layer. Lightning runs independently, but needs to connect to Bitcoin to open and close channels. Lightning does this via smart contracts. You do not need to run them on the same server instance. They can be ran on different devices.

There are multiple ways to accomplish this. You can build your own from scratch by installing Bitcoin Core and then choosing a Lightning implementation such as LND, CLN, Eclair, etc. You can also go for a pre-packaged method where no command line skills are needed via Umbrel, Start9, etc.

So, to answer your questions, are they two separate things? Yes. Are they on two separate servers? Commonly, no, but they can be, and in larger implementations should be for redundancy and disaster recovery.

Is Andreas Antonopulos still taking his time to get on Nostr?

Him or Rene would be the best people to give exhaustive answer I think.

Consumption is already here. #[2] is doing pay per post on their paid relay.

Paywalls will be a thing on certain content.

I have a bounty up for Sats voting polls. That’s gonna flow straight in to betting.

Paying people - got to send Sats to a guy in France who did some art for #[3]

Lottery’s & Games.

I think a bounties/crowdfunding hybrid is interesting. A twist on crowdfunding where group comes together to fund a bounty for open source development.
