ladies and gentlemen, we got 'em

how much are the miners loving BRC-20 while we all suffer

just a random one from Amazon. I’ve used Meross which, unfortunately like most of these smart devices, is from China. Luckily it’s just an on/off switch and you can add a timer and all other customizations in the app or via Apple’s HomeKit. Maybe Phillips is better

I'd caution those cheering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Bitcoin (or vaccines if that's your thing).

His worldview is incredibly anti-liberal and pretty authoritarian. We'd basically all be in jail.

I'm unsure whether his newfound BTC love is sincere, or a good strategy

read Matt Welch's piece on "The Very Strange New Respect for Authoritarian Democrat RFK Jr."

the best tools to use while traveling and your lightning node is at home.

I write this from now years of experience with my pi node constantly losing connection, power outages, and syncing errors only happening when I'm on the road. For the laptop/miniPC node fanboys, I also have one of these. I may switch to it full-time.

but in the meantime:

-Tailscale app to a clearnet URL only you know

-Tor link to manage

-Zeus app

-Using a smart plug at home connected to an app (and resetting if necessary)

-Using TeamViewer or SSH into a local machine or server on your home network

Am I missing anything else?

PROTECT ENCRYPTION

10,000 Bitcoiners in Prague??

If all goes well, that'll be the plan at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r

We've got Matyáš, co-founder and organizer, on Fix The Money this week to get all the details.

We discuss some high-level aspects of the event, the genesis of Bitcoin life for Czechs and Slovaks, how to best travel with Bitcoin, and why it’s vital to have a Bitcoin community near you.

Both nostr:npub1st4elxz4dphx2qxpuaklvs855zetnkglu8dvszdxamgqn5q3pk5svflv5p and I will be there in person, and we’re stoked to be a part of it.

why does the peers.dat file in bitcoin core get corrupted so often? this happens with basically every node I have

Thankfully the folks at GitHub are shipping important “pronoun” updates

If you’re in D.C. on May 16, Consumer Choice Center will host a rooftop cocktail reception celebrating smart consumer policies from a particular Scandinavian country with plenty of festive treats…

DM for an invite!

Have there been any recent LND bugs? Lightning nodes going out left and right…

Turn up the Gordon Lightfoot
