Running a full node. Messing with lightning and learning a lot.
Every Bitcoiner should do this imo.
First video of my DIY sovereign server coming soon.

I know prob 20 or so people IRL who own #Bitcoin but only 1 runs a node. Most don't even know what a node is.
I wish nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 customer support was as good as nostr:nprofile1qqswj8prhkdg5uzdsp0d5vzjuxccdjssktpug6gv8s4a6c3tsaamx3gelsn4t
Been trying to figure out this nonsense for over a week now.

This day 15 years ago Jeremy Sturdivant sold two pizzas for 10,000 #Bitcoin.
Huge congrats to Real Bedford for securing their 3rd consecutive promotion in the English football league.

I used to work for Domino's Pizza and they gave customers claiming problems with thier orders free pizzas even if they knew they were lying. The policy basically ensured that 100% of customers were happy, including the scammers.
An AI tool that could post a counter argument to a Nostr post could be interesting IMO.
Imagine an option under a post for anyone to zap a certain amount that auto generated a counter argument.
Or is this a dumb idea?

Forgive me Guy for asking Perplexity to counter this opinion. This piqued my interest as someone who know next to nothing about drones or drone defenses. 😉
---
The opinion that a million light-show drones could easily overwhelm and sink a warship like an aircraft carrier overlooks several critical technical and operational realities:
1. Drone Range and Endurance
Light-show drones are designed for short, coordinated flights and have limited battery life and range, typically suitable only for entertainment purposes, not long-range military operations
2. Payload and Ammunition
These drones are built to be lightweight and cannot carry significant payloads, let alone explosives or anti-ship munitions. Even military loitering munitions showcased in Vietnam are designed to target infantry or light vehicles, not heavily armored warships
3. Effectiveness Against Warships
Modern warships, especially aircraft carriers, are heavily armored and compartmentalized. Sinking one requires large, high-explosive warheads or torpedoes, far beyond what small drones can deliver. A million drones with negligible payloads would not physically damage the armored hull or critical systems.
4. Ship Defenses
Warships are equipped with advanced air defense systems, including rapid-fire guns, missiles, and electronic warfare tools that can detect, jam, or destroy incoming drones
. Even if drones were weaponized, these defenses are designed to counter large numbers of threats simultaneously.
5. Logistics and Control
Coordinating a million drones in a hostile, contested environment is a massive technical challenge. Communication jamming, electronic warfare, and the need for precise control would make such a swarm nearly impossible to manage in real combat
6. Economics and Practicality
Light-show drones are not cheap, and scaling up to a million would be logistically and financially prohibitive
. Military drones capable of carrying meaningful payloads are even more expensive and complex.
In summary, while drone swarms are changing warfare, the leap from a light show to sinking a warship is not supported by current technology, drone capabilities, or military reality.
For a moment there I thought Amazon was now accepting Bitcoin! Anyway, congrats!
Thankfully I've never had to say 'Muun with two yous'.

Two reasons why I'm grateful my MyNode died.
1. My #Bitcoin node works now because I have a nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpg3mhxw309umxcetgdpukgumjw35xzemdd9envat4xe682cmwv3m85aehvd6kyur3dd58v7re0ymk5mmfda3ngdtdddehydr9v9jzummwd9hkutcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0f09vg9
2. I don't have to say 'my MyNode' anymore
Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first real-world Bitcoin transaction, when 10,000 BTC bought two pizzas and kicked off a new era of money.
This year marks 15 years since that historic moment. Blockstream is proud to sponsor the 2025 celebration at nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqkey55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqs99vkl NYC on May 22, honoring Laszlo Hanyecz and launching the Bitcoin Hall of Fame.

Our flagship Bitcoin and nostr:nprofile1qqsfjzteswm5cuyqpvvz40r0vszx4dcyql5u40xkeats5w9d48hht4guz0cnd hardware wallet Jade Plus will be at PubKey free for ticket holders. We’ll also announce a major initiative to bring open-source, hands-on Bitcoin hardware wallet education to communities around the world, free and accessible to all.

The day starts with a 10,000 sats pizza lunch—two slices and a drink from NYC’s most legendary pizzerias.
Then at 5PM, the real party begins: surprise guests, Bitcoin’s biggest names, and a Jade Plus wallet for every ticketed guest!
Pizza Day has grown to be about more than a transaction, it’s a tribute to builders, believers, and Bitcoin’s open-source roots.

You should really be honouring Jeremy Sturdivant on May 22. He's the guy who accepted the10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

I 100% believe that Bitcoin will become the de facto currency of the internet and eventually meat space too. It will just take a lot longer than I first thought.
Vast majority of the people I know who own Bitcoin IRL have zero desire to use it as a daily medium of exchange.
While I want freedom, they want their slavery to be comfortable and convenient.
GOING LIVE at 6pm ET!
Come give some love to Nathan from Bitcoin Mentor who is co-hosting with me!

Why the sudden pivot to these clickbait videos Ben? I have lost count the number of people I recommended your tutorial videos. These on the other hand are just cringe IMHO.
