Yeah, still always wish there had been more time at 17k. And the knowledge that it was the bottom.
Oh I see. Thanks.
Why does @bot tell me to "Please configure a valid lightning address in your profile"? I have an LNURL like everyone else. Am I broken?
So would this mean that someone can take your private key and impersonate you now? With Nostr being unstoppable, this seems like a potential problem. Maybe there's a need for a self-nuke function to tell relays to drop oneself.
Great job #[0] on the Ordinals space. 🤙⚡️
I'm on Damus 1.0.0 (9). Green robot for me.
Still missing for me. I'm seeing many generic profile pics. Maybe some image provider is blocking. I assume a lot of people link to twimg for their pics - they may be prevented now.
I enjoyed the Derek Ross interview on the Nostrovia podcast. (Yeah, that's right... there's already a Nostr podcast.)
You're a great spokesperson for the movement and an inspiration to us noob developers. #[0]
Ok. I see the disconnect here. I'm currently running my nodes over Tor. It is shit. I'm considering going over clearnet for the nodes but not sure if I'm ready to share my home IP address. I believe all the suggestions were about how I could contact/admin my own node. I'm looking for options on how to change my node itself to no longer use Tor.
It seems like clearnet is maybe the only option, or I could maybe build a ssh-style on a VPS IP address or whatnot.
But even then, a VPN endpoint needs an IP address. So instead of having my node IP showing, I'd have my Watchguard IP showing. (Which is also my home).
I understand this part: it is a VPN protocol and would run on same server as my nodes. The thing I don't understand is how any other Lightning peers would connect to me, unless they are also running a Watchguard client and I whitelist them.
Oh my god. This sounds like magic and I'm simply not grokking. How would a peer node know how to find the service I'm providing?
I'm mostly thinking of how to run my nodes (CLN and Lnd) without using Tor but also not showing my IP to amboss and everyone else.
Ok I think I see. So I would still need a VPN provider (I have one I pay for) and Wireguard is a superior client that can connect to that VPN provider. I was thinking there was some kind of magical tech that didn't involve any third party.
I see. I hate to waste your time, but I don't see how lnlink app + CLN can hide my IP.
I'm trying to understand Wireguard. Would I be setting it up on my node at home, then adding a connection to an IP I don't care about (like a VPS I pay for), and then the IP of the VPS I'm using would appear to be my node's IP? Or is there some magical thing happening where Wireguard, running on my node at home without any other servers, can someone obscure my home IP?
