I think itā€˜s could count as covered by freedom of speech, if code is speech.

Do you feel abused by a bot? Where the bot touch you? show me you insane faggid

Happy new year

have you checked proofofprice yet?

Thanks for clarifying. Of course ā€šfact checkingā€˜ is a tough business to be in, because in some way history is to a certain degree written not by who is right, but who is left.

But there are some truths that we can seem to all agree to, like in this day and age money should be limited in itā€˜s supply.

Wishing somebody dead is grossly exaggerated.

Itā€˜s okay to experiment.

As a matter of fact, letā€˜s experiment right now:

@factchecker: did epstein kill himself?

Why?

@factchecker check that fact

you said you are bad in bull markets. i didnt want to listen. but you were so right. 🤣🤣🤣

Russia is actually pretty gay and retarded. no free speech, quite hitler-esque, lying to itā€˜s own people. shitting and jailing and killing its own people

keep on grinding jdm this is a cool bot

It was always and will always be the smart ones versus the dumb ones.

Make sure you are not in the ā€šdumb’ camp.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, really thinking hard here right what I might do to prevent this happening to my node

Less than two months ago, the Chain Duel Lightning node was hacked and all funds were stolen.

Suddenly, everything felt fragile.

I didn’t shut everything down, but I didn’t move forward either. I left the node empty for a while, unsure how to proceed, unsure whether starting again was responsible or reckless.

What lingered was hesitation.

That fear didn’t come from losing belief in Bitcoin or Lightning. It came from realizing how many attack surfaces existed beyond my understanding. How much I had trusted that ā€œit will probably be fineā€.

Running infrastructure exposes your blind spots. Firewalls you don’t fully understand. Services you expose because tutorials say so. Defaults you accept because questioning them takes time and effort. When something goes wrong, it becomes clear how many assumptions were hiding underneath.

Looking back, the issue wasn’t only lack of experience.

It was also complacency.

I knew some best practices. I knew certain things should be done. But I delayed them. I relied on convenience. I assumed problems were unlikely, or at least unlikely to happen to me. The abstractions made it easy to believe I was in control.

The hack broke that illusion.

For a while, I didn’t know how to proceed. Running a new node felt dangerous. Not running felt like giving up. That tension sat directly against my principles.

So I decided to start over again.

Not confidently. Not fearlessly. Just deliberately.

This time, I’m trying to reduce what I don’t understand. I removed layers I couldn’t reason about. No Umbrel. No third-party app ecosystem. Fewer moving parts, fewer assumptions.

I’m making an effort where before I postponed. SSH keys instead of passwords. Restrictive firewall instead of permissive defaults. VPN instead of exposed services.

It’s been slow and humbling. I read, realize I don’t understand enough, then read again. The more I learn, the more aware I become of how limited my understanding is. Uncomfortable, but also clarifying.

Bitcoin Core is now running from the command line.

Initial Block Download is in progress. It feels appropriate. You verify. You don’t skip steps. Trust has to be rebuilt from first principles. It’s not impressive or fast. It’s quiet and demanding.

Lightning will come afterwards.

Readiness isn’t a prerequisite. Awareness is. Care. Paying attention.

Getting hacked didn’t make me stronger.

It made me more honest about my limits.

Running a node again isn’t a victory or a return.

It’s a decision to keep learning, to take responsibility more seriously than before, and to resist the temptation of comfort over understanding.

I’m still uneasy.

But I choose to stay engaged, to learn in public, and to do my best.

I bet it strikes.

Hope you are bouncing back!!

Man, I am running a node myself and must say: that shit ain’t easy. It is a side job. And it feels super fucky and experimental, too.

Hello fiends, Today I’m excitedly kicking off https://bitcoinbusinessnetwork.io It’s a "no-frills" tool designed to cut through the noise. I’m launching early because I value your feedback more than my own assumptions. There is a bridge feature between nostr and legacy media with nostr enablement ensuring more credibility for nostr registered businesses.

To everyone who has offered a word of encouragement or a tough critique…thank you. I am deeply appreciative of this network.

I’d be honored if you’d take a look and let me know:

Is this solving a real problem for you?

What is one thing I can do to make this more useful by tomorrow?

Grateful to be on this journey with you all. šŸŸ§šŸ› ļø

Hey, looking through it.

Some UX errors i found:

The points on the map tend to go sideways and not stick 100% of the time.

And this bar at the top keeps me from searching shops in Germany.
