Got self hosted zapple pay and Lightning addresses up and running. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO ZAP ⚡️

HALP! I’m self-hosting nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm nostr wallet connect (v0.2.0) in docker. It appears to connect successfully to my LND node but when I pass the pairing key to Zapple Pay and start 🤙‘ing some notes, no zaps happen. No events logged in my NWC container and my LND logs don’t show any attempted payments either.

Anyone know where I can look to start debugging? It’s gotta be a networking or permissions issue somewhere but I’m getting nothing from the logs…

Ok, figured it out. For some reason I needed NOT to set my nostr pubkey in the NWC config. Now that I’m not setting my pubkey I can zap away!

Great minds, fren. Now that you mention it, holy shit NMS was such a beautiful game. Sure they fucked the launch and the hate was intense. But I’ll never forget that first feeling of freedom in the game, looking up at any moon or planet in the sky and being able to get in your ship and fly there.

Holy shit a new Bethesda game. I must have been living under a rock to have missed this. If this is anything like Skyrim in space then check on me in like five years to make sure my ass hasn’t fused to my chair.

Low key the best tip in here is to not salt and pepper the eggs until the end. Can’t explain why but they hit different when you wait until you serve to add the seasoning.

Is nostr:npub1wxl6njlcgygduct7jkgzrvyvd9fylj4pqvll6p32h59wyetm5fxqjchcan down or is my local instance of nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Nostr Wallet Connect not connecting? No errors in logs, but the zaps ain’t flowing either!

I found some things!!

Self hosted Lightning address service that works with LND and Nostr: Nostdress https://github.com/believethehype/nostdress

Self hosted nostr wallet connect: https://github.com/getAlby/nostr-wallet-connect

Both have prebuilt images on GitHub Container Repo. Dead simple deployment for a smooth brain like me. nostr:note1l26r96x4j6ex967hd5p5fsjc4u4fh3hjy2ustfwhd8pzt93krp8quzy4e2

Anybody know some god resources/guides for wiring up my LND node with LNURL and nostr wallet connect capabilities? Looking for solutions that have images I can pull from ghcr or docker hub.

The rightmost button on the bottom nav bar brings up the channels screen. From there you can click the ‘+’ icon in the top right corner to open a channel. You can find good peers to open a channel to with nostr:npub17tlh448s3tfdfgymehqdkdn52as59qsrax0n9h58pk54wcmqyc2qklzsxj

228K sats makes for a pretty small channel though, and if your peer isn’t well connected you might get payment failures. For small amounts, custodial wallets are usually less of a headache.

Yeah, my belief is somewhere in between “God of the gaps” and intelligent design (not in the creationist sense but in terms of the laws of physics). We can explain, or will eventually be able to explain, almost everything about the universe, except why it is the way it is to start with. There’s gotta be something there, because again, what the actual fuck. Good post! 🤜💥🤛

THE MOST GOLDILOCKS IN ALL OF PHYSICS

_______________

The fine-tuning of the universe is one of the most compelling arguments for the existence of God. Fine-tuning refers to the “just right” initial conditions that were set into the equations that govern physics and how they effect life.

One of the most finely tuned parameters in physics is the entropy of the universe. It refers to the initial low entropy state of the universe, which was necessary for the existence of life. If the Big Bang Theory is correct and the universe started with a massive expansion, our newly formed universe was not a chaotic soup of energy and matter. It was quite the opposite, it was orderly. This is because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state. This direction towards disorder is called entropy.

The entropy of the universe was fine-tuned to such an exquisite degree. Physicist Roger Penrose estimated that the odds of the initial low entropy orderly state of our universe occurring by chance are on the order of 1 in 10 raised to the 10th power then raised to the 123rd power. [1] This number is absolutely unfathomable odds, even in the world of physics and mathematics. Basically, there would be a VERY large number of universes in which the entropy would be so chaotic in the beginning that it would be uninhabitable for life; before one is formed that could sustain life.

This leads to the view that the equations that govern physics and in turn life were designed to be just right for life to exist.

God exists in the things that science can’t answer, and the one question that science will probably NEVER be able to answer is “what the fuck HOW?!”

Therein lies divinity.
