Just sent it to you!! It's pretty informal and a bit personal to her so I didn't think to make it public haha

It's wasnt, but only because my notes are specific to her (watch this one w your bf he will like it etc) and quite informal haha

But this is the list!

1. What is Bitcoin? Explained in 3 Minutes - Tuttle Twins

2. Bitcoin Documentary | The Trust Machine

3. Check Your Financial Privilege: How the Financial System Fails 87% of People

4. This Machine Greens

5. Bitcoin is Generational Wealth

In my bed I watch TV

I'm drunk by noon

but that's OK

I'll be president someday 😌

Update : I made my friend a lovely little google doc with 5 videos - most of which were the recommendations I got from you guys - to dip her toes in to the #bitcoin rabbit hole, and she was grateful 🧡

Complete with notes and a guide in which order to watch; I think the effort I put into it will make her more likely to see it all through haha. I hope this starts something!

Thanks Nostr!!!

Nice! Added ... so she can watch the whole series if she likes it :)

WOW!!!!!!!! 🤯 Def going in the list. Thank you!!

Oh gosh, of course!!! Adding to the list 🙂 thanks!

Fun!

Oh this is great! Going in the list... Thanks!!

Ok, this is amazing 🤩

My normie friend expressed a small spark of interest in learning about #bitcoin but specifically asked me to share it in a documentary format. Except I can't find anything 🤣 Feels like a rare chance to orange pill her but the perfect Bitcoin doc doesn't exist.

Instead I'm compiling a list of maybe 3-4 YouTube videos/short docs to recommend to her instead ... thought I'd #asknostr

Do you have recommendations for videos I could share with someone who:

- is a total beginner understands bare minimum about money/the history of money

- very unlikely to read a book about Bitcoin at this stage (she's a full time high school teacher also getting her masters; i.e. little time to spare)

- no tech background

- no economics background

I'd love to share something with her about why we need Bitcoin/why money is broken, how it actually works, and the positive human rights implications... they could be separate videos. I'm having the hardest time!!!! Lmk if you have suggestions 🥰

😅

Hahah I'm leaving here in the morning for a few months at least. But maybe I'll switch someday. Maybe dig out an old laptop or something

Start9 sounds pretty cool tbh. But wanted the easiest possible thing to set up

Not yet, I'm running Umbrel I will download LND next

So... after almost a week of frustrated troubleshooting, doubting my own sanity and intelligence and almost giving up on trying to run a node at all, my mother happened to casually mention in an unrelated conversation that they never removed the old modem when she switched internet providers.

...

and that's when I realized...

I dragged her downstairs where she confirmed what I suspected; my raspberry pi was connected to the old modem. She pointed to the new one, which is nailed to the wall about 4ft higher.

Everything works perfectly. Sanity and intelligence still in question, but I'm running a #bitcoin #node in my parents' basement now 🤡

Got it!! I am currently connected to my router with a cable, the problem with the static IP is that all the directions start by assuming I can find it... looking at angry IP, I have the same number of connections when my pi is plugged in vs unplugged so I'm thinking my problem starts before this 🙁

I didn't!

A stock RaspiOS - Is that Debian?

Also I don't know how to set a static IP a as I can't seem to find the IP in the first place. But maybe first things first... I'll give this a try this afternoon !

Ahh you guys are the best.

I got everything off of the Umbrel website using the Amazon links they provide, installed and assembled everything as instructed, but I can't connect to Umbrel.local and tried all the suggested http(s) variations and none of them connect... I re-flashed the SD card with no luck. Then I downloaded angry IP to hopefully find the IP address, but it doesn't seem to show up in the scan which makes me think it's offline somehow? All the lights are on - green on flashes intermittently though, and it's connected to the router and a power source so I am PRETTY sure I have eliminated all the dumb/obvious things I could be doing wrong but you never know lol

I'm a total beginner but reasonably smart, I should be able to figure this out haha. I'm on a Mac. Also I have zero budget for other options, I really want to make what I already purchased work 🙈🙈🙈

Does this reply to everyone? I hope so... been gone a while haha #asknostr

I'm going to ask for help on here after work ... does anyone here run Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi?

I am stuck and frustrated 😅
