Indeed, imagine being a mainstream broadcaster on a mainstream streaming site, afraid of public comments.
It shows you the REAL prevailing sentiment isn't at all what they want it to be.
There are two kinds of people.
Those watching state broadcasters, and those on nostr.
I don't personally know anyone running a node, so I'm reaching out to the #nostr #lightning community...
Could anyone with an #LND node please check if mine is reachable, with the following command:
lncli connect 028811e5088c437720cca2a3bb7c18a355ae40b496cf229b0c97de0cf43f5eb56b@yb5zkdemmg3fejf45rzgx2xb4jaustbu7vda7wxafuoqtculawi3jhqd.onion:9735
MUCH appreciated ;)
This is good for non-KYC on-ramps
Does anyone have an idea how long a pool account on terminal.lightning.engineering takes to open?

If only working out was as much fun as eating 🤣
It's a fine line for sure, but once changed, you can't change it back...
If you had only one lifeboat, would you risk its structural integrity to allow others to run experiments to increase speed, etc.?
I can't help but feel that bip300 could potentially be used maliciously, just as taproot allowed ordinals.
Happy to be proved wrong though ;)
