Notice to any users of the STPI cashu mint: I'm shutting it down for now.

There are too many remote-close and force-close on my lightning node, there is also erratic behavior like strange cashu/ln transactions and pending payments that I can't explain. Lightning is too unpredictable and impossible to debug, its not ready for prime-time in my opinion. I've been running this node for two years and the technology is not improving. This high fee environment is making it too costly to run a routing node, and the ln-tx fees don't even put a dent in the channel open and close fees.

Please remove your sats from the mint.

I will try to keep it open long enough for people to remove their sats (there isn't much).

Medical rant:

Doctors ate scam artists

My father had a stroke a few years back.

I had a minor stressed induced myocardial infarction.

{Due to an ex POS still trying to contact me and chainsmoking heavily. (It was a combination of the two)}

He is now taking 4 pills in the morning, 3 pills at mid-day, 2 pills in the evening, and 4 pills at night... after dropping the pain medication.

I opted out.

He sleeps all the time and is still having issues. The symptoms intensify when the medication is taken irregularly - as in not the same time everyday - and seemingly at random times he experiences stroke symptoms, as well as randomnights whilehe'ssleeping. It appears that the medication hasn't helped his condition but now he's absolutely dependent on it.

They also have him on medication to help control his cholesterol. It wasn't bad, they just wanted to make sure it didn't get bad.

I still smoke. No incidents.

Hus last surgery they gave him medication to suppress symptoms of an infection. He just got the surgery, if there was going to be an infection, it would probably take a couple says. But how would we know if he's taking medication to suppress the symptoms. Not treat or prevent.. hide.

.... this is why I opted out. Once you start going with what the doctor says, you find yourself in an endless string of appointments with different specialists, just to make sure... and hopped up on a bunch of drugs, some unnecessary as fuck.

That being said, smoking is an awful habit that I wish I never picked up, and hopefully one day I'll really quit for the last time.

Literally the hardest drug to quit. Nicotine.

Doctors are necessary. I'm related to people in the field and they'd cringe at some things I say, but they know Doctors are pill pushers and milk people with insurance because the system is broken.

I smell so Italian

I washed my hands but the garlic and vinegar remains
