I ran a #Bitcoin Core testnet node on my main beefy desktop machine and then the required rust applications as documented on the Stratum protocol website. I used an s9 but that was taking too long to find a block so I pointed an s19 at it for a bit and found 2 blocks in 30 minutes or so.
I love that little pickaxe icon so I extracted the public key from core. I couldn't resist!
I took Matt's advice and tried out Stratum v2 on Testnet and mined a block. It's not that difficult! Certainly the big corporate miners should be able to figure it out.
Yes, of course!
I tried to leave the TB1 showing from the address and the low block reward of 0.46 is a give away.
I was trying out Stratum v2:
I did it! I solo mined a block!
Ha, in the process of doing the same thing. BitcoinLizard's days on Twitter are numbered. I think the domain and lightning/btcpay server will survive but no guarantees.
I have a new nym picked out as a Nostr identity but I'm not sure how much I'll post.
I closed my channel with Phoenix wallet. It's no big deal but they don't give you control over fees even with a collaborative close. They broadcast a TX with an 11 sat/vbyte fee which will confirm... never. Thanks guys. I'm fine closing the channel but don't make me do a CPFP to get my funds back. You're welcome for me paying for a 100 sat/vbyte TX to get the funds back to you confirmed.
I'm not sure why but the Samourai news is the final push I needed to disapear BitcoinLizard from Twitter.
I want to delete everything before I shutter the account. I'm willing to use a paid service to remove everything (tweets and likes). Does anyone have any services that they have used personally that you would recommend?
It went through. I did 2 payments of 100 sats, they just took a while apparently.
Keep up the good work, love your wallet!
nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 - FYI I think your ability to receive Zaps is busted. I couldn't Zap you from my node or Phoenix.
I would like this as well, I guess maybe I should throw in for a bounty if I want is so bad!
Indeed, it seems to be slower than the old c-lightning-rest shim. I used to use RTL with c-lightning-rest and now use it with clnrest and it was faster with c-lightning-rest. Still, I'd rather use the native option and shut off c-lightning-rest.
I don't care to debate the morality of the redistribution of this money. I just see this as another eye opening moment - If you have a disagreement with the party that controls the money they may take it from you and give it to your enemy.

Block 840075: Important News of the Week
Happy halving and huge thanks to our top supporters (as well as everyone else who contributed!) this week:
- anon who contributed 73672 sats.
- anon who supported us with 14830 sats.
- anon 1, anon 2 and nostr:npub1k6f0ecam577lay8mm8azfvs3u4xvl23q82zpc3htee6ath09gg0s9ftryn who donated 10000 sats each.
Every contribution indicates that we're doing something right. All sats donated will be held long term to fund our operation. Onward!
No BS #Bitcoin is the best! Just subscribe to their RSS feed and you no longer need to scroll #Nostr and Twitter all day to know what's going on. Throw them some sats if you can!
The taproot activation was fun because you showed the p2tr receiving addresses popping up in the mempool and ultimately getting the funds confirmed. We could see that the soft fork had worked! This is not as exciting.
Very interesting feeds for the more technically minded. The taproot activation feed was excellent.
I'm disappointed to see that Braiins seems to have joined in as well.
We are not doomed, we just need Stratum v2 now and miners should only mine with pools that allow them to use their own block templates.
Congrats Peter!
I imagine next season or the following it starts to get pretty difficult to advance on the first try but best of luck to you to keep it going!
Okay then.
Maybe a caffeine reset every now and then but I have a hard time rationalizing stopping forever. After doing a lot of reading about coffee over the years #coffeechain seems to be a clear net positive for general health.
