Trying to set up a new pixel 6 with CalyxOS to upgrade from my 4a

Wish me luck, I always seem to have issues 😒

Can someone suggest a good resource or two for someone who wants to setup their own Lighting Node in their house on linux or openbsd using open source software? Do I need the full blockchain? What software is good? Please I want to avoid software that is heavy on the installation and setup (e.g. no docker (easy but heavy) or ruby package nightmare crap). Thanks.

Please zap for TipBot test

Given the latest bank crisis, how long before we move to a bitcoin standard? Realistic time scales only...

Yeh again not sure about tips in other countries but you are required to pay income tax on tips in the UK. Good luck to hmrc tracking 21 sat zaps ⚡

But for the receiving end, in certain cases it can be handled as a tip, which in certain countries are not taxed.

If you buy anything with btc you are essentially selling it. The UK hmrc requires you to record the GBP price at that point and use that for capital gains calculations.

Not sure how it works in other regions but I would imagine it is similar.

Sounds too bad to be false

If you buy something from your btc, is it a taxable event? 🤔

Very happy that my LN address sirgalahodl@satstream.me now points to my own Lightning wallet running on BTCPayServer, giving me self-custody of the entire process.

Some people hold such darkness inside them. Just let it out. Talk to someone. Get help.

What you do is just a reflection on what’s inside of you, so if hateful acts or words is what utter it’s clear that you are not okay. Darkness is light that has forgotten.

Find the light. 💜🦦

⚡️ Zap me ⚡

I recommend it because it’s the only sane option for people who know nothing about bitcoin or lightning, what do you suggest? As long as they have a way to send theirs sats to something non-custodial when they are ready then what’s the problem? You think people are going to start with a full custodial solution on lightning for their 1000 sats?

🤣

Your life savings should:

1. Be managed on a dedicated device.

2. Secured with offline signers (cold).

3. Require multi factor (passphrase or multisig).

4. Have steel backup plates off-site.

5. Leverage your own full node.
