Do you mean to generate LNURLwithdraw links or simulate a bolt card?

There is: https://github.com/bitcoin-ring/VirtualBoltcardApp

But thats it. LNbits is the easiest to generate LNURLwithdraw links also as QRcodes, no NFC afaik.

That's my plan too once https://pineberrypi.com/products/hat-top-2230-2240-for-rpi5 delivers. Which adapter are you using?

Yes, but this is completely bare, without any heatsinks and running the first boot. Now it's down to a more manageable 74 C.

Will need some cooling, but hoping to get away with a good size passive one.

Got my first Raspberry Pi 5

Running an auto-built #Raspiblitz test image on it already, seems really fast.

Swapped the SDcard and the SSD from an RPi4 node. There are no obvious compatibility issues (as expected).

If want to test can try the latest image built from the dev branch: https://github.com/raspiblitz/raspiblitz/tree/dev/ci#ready-made-images-for-arm64-rpi

(most important hint that it needs to be based on the latest RaspberryOS built on Debian12 - the Raspiblitz v1.10 image doesn't work on the RPi5, but the next stable release will!)

Check BOLT11⚡️invoices at https://dev.blink.sv/decode

Get links to explore the destination node for https://amboss.space https://mempool.space/lightning and https://1ml.com depending on the network used.

Mainnet, testnet and signet invoices are all welcome, the script only runs in the browser.

a very useful correction here: https://nitter.net/mononautical/status/1725813952377127375

bitcoind does rely on the mempool for fee estimation.

the estimatesmartfee algorithm works by tracking how long transactions in different "fee buckets" wait in the mempool before getting confirmed.

which means it needs to see a representative sample in the mempool.

Thanks, I know about two such software:

- mempool (the FOSS project)

- Bitcoin Knots

are there any more that might be affected by changing the content of my local mempool?

Thinking this through once again: #ordisrespector does not seem dangerous knowing that:

- bitcoind does not consider the mempool for fee estimation (only the past blocks).

- LN implementations and Electrum servers rely on the data from bitcoind.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

With these chain fees I am exploring https://sideswap.io/ as an intermediate spending wallet. Not as fast as lightning, but way cheaper than onchain and still can swap or peg in or out to / from Liquid in a minute.

nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 at bol.tz is a perfect companion to add the lightning capability.

Tell 'em plebs to not aim for being a self-sovereign king, aim to be a god straight.

What are the best resources to quickly onboard a bitcoiner to nostr?

Thinking about:

* best practive for key creation and storage

* best clients for a purpose and platform

* how to choose relays

* NIP-05 (self hosted)

* become zappable in a self-sovereign way

* best practice to connect a wallet

* run a personal relay for backups

I know some answers and done most of these myself, but curious what is the current best and someone might have even written it all down already. Please share your knowledge 🙏

Excited for #bh2023 in Riga? So are we! ⚡️Join us for the #RaspiBlitz meetup on August 31st from 6-10 pm!

We will host this event with Rootzoll to talk about Bitcoin and Lightning nodes, FOSS and anything related.
