Now I upgraded to a MiniPC i7, we're gonna make Blackrock our little bitch.

I did the update propely, tested the BOLT12 invoice from nostr:nprofile1qqs2zqnq524z7zfdsh3vpwpwjh4vt7xxp6sec68y3xr3ndvve23ru0spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvu3k7uyz with a small amount and it worked (took 10-15sec to confirm but it might be my routing, I have just one channel to test now).

Ok then I don't understand how it works. Do you have article to explain? I'm really curious to ubderstand.

How is it working? Let's say you need 100k for a house but you want to keep expised to Bitcoin and don't get liquidated as soon as Bitcoin/MSTR drop by 50-80%, how would you proceed, how much BTC you would need to risk?

Of course, VW stopped the production of their most popular family car, VW Sharan/Seat Alhambra. I see it as every corner, now second hand is more expensive than you. They are such morron, trying to force customer into buying shittier car at higher price (yeah, I talk about crossover 🤮). Also not promoting enough the EV at affordable price with good software (driving assit is mostly a shame compare to Tesla and Japanese manufacturers).

Now they pay the price. I will not cry for them.

Hum, you are right, I had the impression that I didnan update last month, I will have to check that.

I'm on v24.02.2 so not the last version. I should plan an update.

Congrats to the winner, I miss the contest, I would have love to get an inbound channel from Zeus on my new node.

It might be related to my node, I never try BOLT12 yet and I think you need to enable experimental features for it to work, but not sure.

Try from Zeus connected on my CLN node but I got this error: Unknow command fetchinvoice.

But at least Zeus recongnize it as a bolt12 transaction.

I love it. 402 Payment required BitcoinTv channel already used that to hide SSH key in random picture, so you can cross a border with a random phone, with no valuable information, they can search it, search you, find nothing. Then on the orher side you get the onion address and SSHkey out of the images, and connect to your remote server to get back all your data.

Amazing technique.

I don't send sats directly to them, I sell sats against fiat on my Revolut. But there is always the risk that you get money from the wrong person and get your account flagged or blocked.

Ok I see, I don't think there is one in my country, maybe one in foreigh fiat could work but with several layer of fees, not really interested. Also it's full KYC.

There use to be a service, non-kyc, for virtual visa toped up in sats, paywithmoon or something, it was cool for online shoping, like digital games, but it was limited to US merchant and they stop the service afaik.

For me, the best would be to sell my btc p2p at premium with Peach or Robosats, and get paid on my Revolut (I share the pseudo only, no name, no phone), then I spend the fiat anywhere in any currency at almost no fee. But you need to sell in advance regularly when you know you will need.

Ils déclarent la guerre.

Leur logique: si vous ne pouvez pas nous donner l'identité des utilisateurs, c'est considéré comme du blanchissement. Alors qu'en vrai, si ils ne peuvent pas prouver que c'est du blanchissment, ce n'est pas du blanchissment.

Yes, getting sick just before or while traveling is much worst, if I could choose where to be while sick, that would be home 100% of the time.

Rest well and get better soon.

You mean Bitrefill and co?

Soon CHF, then GBP.

Hopefully for the best. 🙏

Technically, the US doesn't use Bitcoin.

I have also a Ledger (Nano S) and Trezor One for a long time, then I got for cheap a Keepkey but it's support was discontinued. Then I did build a Specter DIY, it's fun to use but it's not really a wallet, it's just s signing device, you must load your private key at each use, not ideal to make proper backup in a safe place and impossible to store in tempered proof bag to prove that no one did copy your keys. There is an upgrade that use security cards to alloe usage as a real wallet storing keys in a secure manner but it's hard to get the parts and super expensive.

Then I did test Bitbox2 Bitcoin Only edition, it's a marvellous device, with a lot of functionality and safety features, especially for multisign.

And recently I got a Jade as a gift, it's a really nice and economical wallet, relatively easy to use (thus I still find the Trezor to be the easiest of all). But it has no secure element, the keys are stored on a standard chip but encrypted with a strong random key that is stored on Blockstream servers (or your own server, but then it must not be in the same physical local as your Jade, like not on your Umbrel device running in the same place).

So you must trust the server to not allow brut forcing of your PIN.

Also I find it not so convenient to enter the passphrase on the device each time you use it if you use a wallet with a passphrase. You really need to use a passphrase you know by heart and the longer the more cumbersome it is to enter it with the small wheel and one button, so you might be tempted to use a shorter and weaker passphrase.

For everyday use and normal people it's still quite a good wallet for a good price, but if you are serious, find a real wallet with secure element.

I would recommand Trezor Safe 3 Bitcoin only for single sign wallet, which is just slightly more expensive than Jade or if you can afford Bitbox2, for the more advance funcionality and safety features, especially for multisign wallets, they explain on their blog why it's better than others for multisign.

Coldcard MK4 could be a good (even more expensive) alternative of Bitbox2, also with a lot of safety features but I didn't try it yet.
