So nice to sit quietly by the mempool and watch the ripples of latest transactions propagating into the blocks... $10 ...$182 ...$15.9million ...$398 ...$25052 ...$1 ...$17million ...$34 ...
So reassuring and peaceful.

Somewhat comforting take from Marty Bent on the chokepoint issue:

Still I gotta wonder about Cory K's Citibank status ... and Strike's current problem getting Plaid to connect to Ally Bank. It still seems a bit like a gathering "Then they fight you" effect to me.
from the Tales of the HoneyBadger #[2]
This seems part of the growing "Then they fight you" phase of fiat resistance iyam. Banks and Regulators and various statist institutions summarily cutting off access to the on/off ramps. May be that circular economies and non-fiat networks will become the only alternative to slavery.
Too bad Cory Klippsten doesn't appear to be a Nostr user yet. 🥺
Since Wallet of Satoshi has gone down a few times & I saw people asking, I felt it would be good to have a dedicated thread on options for a **receiving** [[LNURL]] address. Save this thread and add others in the comments if you have one not listed.
So in the past 2 weeks I’ve cycled through connecting each of these to #Nostr:
- [Alby](https://getalby.com/)
- Great LN wallet and extension, has custodial option plus can connect numerous other noncustodial to it. Can use to login to LNAUTH websites as well as with your Nostr keys to protect from copy/pasting (honestly it's a need-to-have for Nostr until everyone else integrates the Nostr sign in). Easy & cheap to withdraw
- [Wallet of Satoshi](https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/)
- Custodial, very fast adoption of Nostr and zaps. Just always seems to work and has been reliable for me for years... (until you Zap⚡️Junkies broke them). Easy to withdraw but has much higher fees on bigger payments - I think there's a set percentage.
- [Zebedee](https://zbd.gg/)
- Works great! BUT it freaking emailed me for every zap. It says I can easily change the settings but i searched through the whole menu and got 2 more emails *while* I was looking for how to turn it off and just immediately disconnected it 🤣 — if you can figure that out it seems great otherwise (but custodial). Easy & cheap to withdraw
- [BtcPayServer](https://btcpayserver.org/)
- Setup is a lot more involved & requires you to connect your own web domain, but it's incredibly valuable to have. I use BtcPay for all sorts of crap and it's insanely valuable despite a less intuitive interface when you first get into it. Non-custodial, you hold the keys.
- [Fountain App](https://fountain.fm/)
- Podcasting app, custodial Lightning. Easy and instant setup basically, LNURL is right in your profile. Only headache with them is fixed sized withdraws. Most you can do in any invoice is 200k at a time. Great way to get a fast LNURL though.
- [LN.tips](https://t.me/LightningTipBot)
- My current zap LNURL source. Run by @callebtc, it connects to the (custodial) LightningTipBot on Telegram, so it gives you all your zaps in a scrolling Telegram chat feed. Honestly I just like the interface for viewing zaps more than anything. Easy to withdraw to any non-custodial.
---------------
Wallets I've used that support *sending* to LNURL but don't seem to have support for an address of your own:
- [Phoenix Wallet](https://phoenix.acinq.co/)
- [Breez](https://breez.technology/mobile/)
- going to have a big overhaul soon, I'd keep an eye out
- [Blixt Wallet](https://blixtwallet.github.io/features)
------------
Other wallets that have LNURL support of various kinds (send/receive/both) that I have on my list to test eventually:
- [LNpay](lnpay.co)
- Looks like yoy can send and receive via LNURL – I use this for a lot of other stuff, it's a custodial and/or non-custodial wallet manager with API (kind of like an LNbits as a service to connect to your other apps). Great for webhooks, connecting to code on a website, etc. Looks like you can use own domain for LNURL (though I haven't done it yet).
- [Bottlepay](https://bottlepay.com/)
- [Lifpay](https://www.lifpay.me/en/)
- (don't know much but looks interesting)
- [Balance of Satoshis](https://github.com/alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis)
- install it on your LND node instance like btcpay, voltage, umbrel, etc. Here it's really useful but haven't gotten time to fully explore.
- [Bitcoin Beach Wallet](https://www.bbw.sv/)
- custodial but will give user an LNURL
- [Simple Bitcoin Wallet](https://sbw.app/)
- [Clams](https://app.clams.tech/welcome)
- Looks like an LNlink sort of app for Core-Lightning. Both are about controlling your LN node *over* the Lightning network, so its direct comms using "empty" payments over other LN nodes.
- [Machankura](https://8333.mobi/)
- Blowing up in Africa from what i read, send directly to phone number or LNURL. Custodial.

I'm sure there are others but these are teh ones I have saved in an ongoing note and what I've had more hands on experience with. Hope this is helpful. 🙏
Useful info. Ty. Tried to zap tip you w 2 wallets. Both failed invalid user?
How do you feel about NLW's take? :

At some point we may need to realize that they simply will not cooperate. 🤔

All major governments are printing money like mad, despite worldwide pestilence famine and plague. Our leaders constantly lie and spy and declare "wars against terror and drugs" in our name. Our banks are insolvent, deeply indebted, and criminally liable, yet show no remorse while gladly paying the regulators millions in fines as a normal cost of doing business.
I'll bet you a full stack of freshly printed Fifty Trillion Dollar bills that Bitcoin is better money than whichever fiat currency you use.
Not worth a Zap ⚡

Did you know that you can STILL get 4000 Satoshis for less than a dollar?

[This is a Nostr reNotification (RT) test] #[1]
The heavens are filled with billions of stars of various compositions and sizes, each an enormous distance from the next and all spread out across a vastly empty multi-dimensional expanse. And they're moving.
Now, chart the stars you can see from earth as accurately as you can onto a flat planar projection of the visible sky. Then draw straight lines from one to the next as if they actually were in that plane, to form crude shapes of constellations named after randomly selected gods and beasts.
This brings an understanding roughly comparable to that derived from TA market analysis. It's not astrophysics it's astrology, it's not method it's mumbojumbology.
Still, many otherwise sane investors depend on it to make their decisions.
So fwiw, here is the current Trading View summary of TA indicators on Bitcoin:
