Dont store with custodian!
Thats a ransom lol.
Grashams law. Cheap money moves faster. And sats on WoS or Alby or any other custodial hole are fiat.
I use alby to receive onto LN address and on my deskto but zap with OBW or Phoenix.
Its pure lazyness to do 2 clicks intead of scanning qr with phone.
Its personal task of each one of us to come at internal peace with the fact you and your close ones will make it, but majority in these places wont. Big part of your extended family and friends wont make it.
You can and should offer advice and help whomever asks for it but you cant help everyone...
Im sure its not the only example of trusting someone with your money you practice :)
HODL stack - hardware wallet
SPEDN stack - Phoenix, OBW
ZAP change - WoS, Alby,... pick your custodial hell.
Custodial is for tiny amounts or only to receive. NOT STORAGE
Yes, you will have small amount at risk, but its insignificant.

Bitcoin is self-regulated. No additional regulation needed. Thank you governments.
nostr is a stress-test for all the wallets. They better be prepared for 100x of volumes
I still dont fully understand the dynamic here. What works what doesnt. How different clients show content. Its wild
A repost would be appreciated too ser :)
I have. I can zap myself.

Redesigning my favorite Lightning Network search engine for fun (hire me, please).
I'm sure many of you are familiar with 1ml.com. Here's a short list of issues I noticed with the website, and how I attempted to solve them.
1. Logo and Name
I noticed a discrepancy between the website and Twitter. On Twitter, they go by @LNstats, which stands for "Lightning Network statistics". This name seems much better to me than 1ML. I checked, and lightningstats.com is available. If this were a real client, I would propose a slow transition to new branding and domain.
2. Dark theme first, mobile first.
A dark theme doesn't have to be the default, but it should certainly be an option for all you night owls out there.
I used a compact UI to display as much information as possible without sacrificing clarity. The current website often wastes space, resulting in much more scrolling and disconnected parts with the same kind of information.
3. Node page
The node page was challenging since there's a lot of data to display. Channels contain a lot of information and values.
4. Search funtion was missing from pages other than home.
Feel free to click around the Prototype:

Would be awesome if the person behind 1ML could see this.
Bitcoiners: "FUUUUU Twitter refreshed my feed just as I was reading something interesting"
Also Bitcoiners: "Fuck yea Nostr, where all content has to sync one by one and everything jumps."
Yep. Damn if only I knew. Other IP and not mentioning myself would probably be enough. But hey, I wouldnt have motivation to be here :)
Thats kinda to be expected. But then I made a new one and mentioned the old username and said its my new one and boom, within minute, banned too. That was demotivating :D
