For now both the LNaddress and zaps need a webserver, but why could in not get easier?
BOLT12 will help. See what else will come.
The point of LNproxy is that it is non-custodial and trustless - the payment hash should be verified to match for every wrapped invoice.
The code is open source: https://github.com/lnproxy
so anyone can run it.
A self hosted LNaddress + Zap server could send all it's invoices through an LNproxy API to significantly improve receiver privacy on LN now.
Follow #[0] and try a live example at lnproxy.org
Would love to know if there is something similar already!
It will be sorted by the Nostr plugins of LNbits.
For faster and more reliable self sovereign zaps the LNaddress + Zap server can be set to communicate with the backing node over a VPN like Tailscale.
Updated this 5 minute guide with the option: https://github.com/openoms/bitcoin-tutorials/blob/master/nostr/ligess.md
#JoininBox v0.7.7 has a new option to use a custom change address when sending with or without a coinjoin
Existing features:
- one click install of #JoinMarket v0.9.9
- can start a pruned node within minutes
- signet option
- OS images for RPi and amd64 (bare metal or VM)

Can't Join your channel for some reason!?!
I'll be hanging in "The Other Stuff" Chat!
https://www.nostrchat.io/channel/6f5ffb1e2cd56641bfee7f3be5d1f13f3e79145b6c77f681d2038595142482bb
Can't join any of them.
Maybe because nostrchat.io -s default relay list?
Thanks for the suggestyion, this was very easy on my OpenWRT VPN router as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tailscale/comments/yrqbwb/how_to_using_openwrt_as_a_tailscale_exit_node/
Sounds good, should be able to do it on OpenWRT / DD-WRT as well. Will look into it, but still would enjoy the feature built into any social media or messaging app for it's simplicity.
Nice, but I use my mobile the most when I am not at home.
Not easy on Android when I want my Tailscale / Wireguard to be on as well.
I'd really like to set a permanent Socks5 proxy for Amethyst (and other clients) just like seen in Signal and Telegram FOSS.
There are too many relays exposed to the IP addresses of their users.

With Amnezia this trust in the third party VPN providers is mitigated by the ability of anyone being able to provide a service for a cost of a VPN subscription for multiple people: https://en.amnezia.org/instruction.html
Yyou can have your own servers or friends you trust. The traffic is encrypted and using the public IPaddress of the rented server this way.
Renting a server (with a dedicated IP address) is still fairly easy without needing to be identified: https://bitcoin-vps.com/
#[4] sets it to 24h (144 blocks) for maximum compatibility.
Tor is slow, unreliable, started and funded by the CIA. VPNs are faster and often provide enough protection from 3rd parties (and less from the providers). The more alternatives there are the better.
It depends on the CLTV (CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY) value of the routed HTLC.
LND channels take 2016 blocks (2 weeks) max by default, but it needs to be lower with the cltv_delta value with every hop where it is routed.
Other implementations have the max value lower at 144.
@npub1p2psats79rypr8lpnl9t5qdekfp700x660qsgw284xvq4s09lqrqqk3m82sets it to 24h (144 blocks) for maximum compatibility.
That is just the tag which has been not reissued for the LND and Electrs bugfix releases.
The lates v1.8.0c is more recent.
Rolling updates and new RCs are in the dev branch.
Nothing better than getting it from your own node:
bitcoin-cli getblockhash 0 | xargs -I {} bitcoin-cli getblock {} 0 | xxd -r -p | hexdump -v -C
set the resolution and colors as you like.
