I bought some NFC ntag424dna dongles to make some lightning wallet bolt cards in my LNbits instance. They come in a lovely Nostr purple shade. Hope it works.

Back in Shanghai. Border control officer wants my phone number. For a surveillance state, you’d think they would know it already. Come on, China…

Made it from Boise to Los Angeles. Onwards towards Taipei

Happy 800,000 blocks, Bitcoin

I’ve been in the space since 2013 and heard all the arguments before. I assure you once they take the ā€œcryptoā€ away, they come for the Bitcoin too. Ownership is ownership. I totally agree that everyone should caveat emptor. Even lightning is not true self-sovereign of Bitcoin (you must trust the node operator). Get any respectable amount of whatever you want to call it into self-custody with your own private key/seed, ideally managed in a hardware device, and always stored securely offline.

I sent your daughter a welcome gift on her WOS. Really happy to hear you are setting on a course for success. Best of luck ā¤ļø

Going to try to figure out how to set up https://www.zapplepay.com/ but it seems I’m stuck on figuring out my NWC connection string. I’m using my own docker of CLN+LNBits with Zeus wallet. Anyone have a suggestion?

Ah, so the ā€œsecretā€ was to use this site from Alby: https://nwc.getalby.com/

Perhaps if someone knows the zapplepay owner they could include a link to this next to the NWC field to help others who are new to it.

Nah, I’m not into this ā€œnot cryptoā€ statements… once they come after them they always come after you. Self-sovereign and DYOR.

Mainland China. I was into crypto before I got here, but I fully understood the importance once I lived here.

Their first time camping in a tent. We stayed in some dispersed campgrounds near Stanley, Idaho.

Eli practiced Bach’s Minuet 3 really well today. Bitcoin allowance is going well. He is hooked.

Running docker elementsproject on Synology. I have successfully updated the config file, restarted the node many times, and RTL and getinfo show the right details… but 1ml and ambos never get the change. My rgb and IP address were also updated but never show the new details either. Not sure what else to try. It’s been weeks like this.

I can’t get my lightning CLN node to update the alias… and it’s driving me insane. I’m out of ideas
