I wanted to incentivize Bitcoin payments for my aMember sites, so I wrote a plugin that allows discount coupons to be tied to specific payment systems.
If you use aMember Pro, you can grab a copy of it here... and you'll save 20% using coupon "BTC2024" when you pay in Bitcoin 😉

I keep forgetting that Nostr doesn't care if you use links - so here's the link to my BIP39 password plugin for aMember:

You can never tell what is going to upset or put off customers. Case in point, an email one of my clients received recently via their aMember site.
So I wrote an aMember plugin to make signup as user friendly as possible, while enhancing the security of the account...
It uses the Bitcoin BIP39 word list to generate simple to remember passwords with 33 bits of entropy (that's 8.5 trillion combinations). 🤓
It's in my Cogmentis aMember plugin store if you need it for your aMember site too.
Good catch, thanks bot

What is GM? Good Morning?
X just went down by the looks of it. Nostr keeps on keeping on
Which lightning node is best suited for deployment via nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg in 2024? LND or CLN? 🫢
A lot of the online comparisons seem to be years out of date... for example, LND now supports pruned nodes since version 0.13, which was a big reason to choose CLN on a small server...
I've spun up CLN so far, mostly because it's supposed to be kinder on resources than LND... but have found it almost impossible to run it with less than 4GB of ram, and there seems to be a bug that stops payments from server despite liquidity (Github: #6793).
The essential plugins (like rebalancing) are also not integrated already, meaning some hacking about with docker fragments etc.
So now wondering if I should have gone with LND... it seems to be better integrated with BTCPay, and is still (I believe) the more widely used node?
So before I tear it down and start over... which are you using and why?
I’ve now torn that down and rebuilt with LND.
In CLNs defence, the payment issue may have been due to accidental Cloudflarr proxyng… but overall happy to have switched as my node now runs on a 2Gb instance, saving me paying for a 4Gb one
They have…
I’m a there a way to use the BTCPay Server internal lightning node as the ⚡️wallet for a nostr client (eg via nwc)?
The BTCPay Nostr plugin seems to let you add an nwc string and make an external wallet the server ⚡️node.
But that’s the wrong way around.
I think I want a way to generate an nwc / lnhub or similar credential from BTCPay to use that in the Nostr client.

I bet there won't be a tax refund for unrealized losses.
"Should you have your own NOSTR relay?"
nostr:note16jp2gvfvym79druj4drkydj2zkkvx698dxx3h9rsum30m9z6zuzq40wvtz
In many respects, it's similar to a self-hosted blog.
If you don't have your own relay, you still are a digital sharecropper, farming on borrowed land.
I think I've finally ironed out the kinks in my shiny new ⚡️ #lightning server. I just can't get over how FAST payments are... the future is #bitcoin.
I wonder if the ETFs will find a way to rehypothecate bitcoin and manipulate the price, like they do with gold/silver ETFs...?
It would be a long term massive risk against an absolutely fixed asset like bitcoin, and would probably have to be some off-chain shenanigans, but has always worried me about them.
Use a browser extension like Alby, nost2x or Nostore (Apple/IOS). These let you sign using your nsec without actually giving it to a client.
But if your sec is Leaked, the only option AFAIK right now is to abandon it and start over. You can always repost your important old posts.
I think the protocol guys are working on some kind of key rotation NIP, so maybe one day you'll be able to roll your nsec.
