Bitcoin won't succeed without merchants willing to accept it in person.

And noderunners to facilitate payments!
If your project or startup is looking for design work but you don't have enough work for a full-time designer, or you can't afford the yearly salary of a full-time designer, check out these On Demand options from MilkMilkSugar.
Running a performant routing node is a pretty thankless job. Force-close fees totalled 1.5M sats over the last two weeks. Thankfully we don’t do it to make money, we do it to change Finance.
It doesn’t work for me on Zeus either
We’ve returned from our short hiatus and flipped Terminal Autofees back on. Channel fees should adjust automatically every 3 days based on flow.
We had some very expensive force closes last week, so your inbound channels are greatly appreciated!
My iPhone on the latest General iOS release has stopped displaying notifications for some apps. I’m 100% sure that notifications are enabled and that I don’t have any focus modes turned on. Anything else to check?
Unfortunate for the mempool but it’s fair play. Also consider holding a winning lottery ticket in your hand but not cashing it in because there’s a chance you could increase your winnings. But everyone else also has the same chance of winning, and claiming the prize before you do.
How did you notice?
⚡️Noderunners: Tend to your nodes!
- Minimize downtime
- Dont close channels with a fee too-low
- Pause unnecessary rebalancing
- Charge a base fee
- Disable forwards if needed
A force close with pending forwards can cost you and your peers.
If you start opening channels from the MicroStrategy Gateway, consider us!
You could do a dance game like DDR lol

The Wall: April Update #BabyWatch
Forwards: 10700
Volume: ~15 BTC
Terminal Rank: 13
In April we continued to hit new highs for number of forwards, volume, and profit.
We did a lot of swaps this month; pushing liquidity out to good sources and letting it flow back and out expensive channels. With the on-chain funds we tested selling liquidity on Pool via Lightning Terminal, and it was very profitable.
One aspect of the node that I want to work on in May is our centrality. We're in the 88th percentile, so there is lots of room for improvement. Hopefully an increase in centrality will put us into position to route more payments. You can help, and improve your own centrality, by opening channels to us too.
Give me a little more time to respond to your DMs in May. Mrs. The Wall and I will be on baby watch very soon.
Same here. I got my HVAC guy to cut me a nice inlet for the miner that I cap off in the summer.
Is the lightning donation page fixed yet?
Who has the tldr on the #[0] saga?

#[0] it doesn’t look like lightning invoices are working on https://bitcoindefense.org/ - can you take a look? Let us know if the node needs inbound.
#zapsonly mode enabled. Save your shakas! Let’s zap and route zaps #plebchain #nodestriches
Are we getting nostr node connect in Zeus?
There is a slight delay but it’s working now
Does anyone know which lightning nodes belong to Lightspark?
I thought I was the only one!
Looks like this could be a slow zapathon
I can still zap self hosted nostriches though
