They have their own distribution. Why do you want an intermediary?
It really isn't insurmountable. Old PC or a cheap lower power unit with at least 8 gigs of ram, probably 1-2tb of storage. You can flash StartOS (formerly EmbassyOS) on to it and they have user guides and amazingly simple step by step walkthroughs. Plug that sucker in and let it be your LN node. nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2 really made it simple.
Ah, well. I guess I am more used to consolidating before getting anywhere close to 100 KvB. One tip is leaving sats on an exchange until hitting 100k SATs at least. Prior to that it's not worth you paying 50% consolidation fees. The cost to consolidate outweighs the custodial risk.
Only if you use LNDHub. You can link your self-hosted Lightning node(run through LNDHub) to blue wallet with that extension.
I tried to make it an amount so that the Split didn't come down to a pittance each. That split is impressive code.
Don't do a single sig Hot wallet. Easy set up in Nunchuck, create a 2 of 2 multisig. Get an NFC card, load one key on the card and hide it in your (physical) wallet. (Make it innocuous too like a "bonus card" for a grocery store) then to spend out, use one key in the Nunchuck app and Tap the NFC card to your phone to sign the transaction.
Lightning is more hands on for a self-sovereign set up. You would need to run a full node, and a lightning node, and connect to peers, and open channels, and then you can use a phone client like nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 to connect to your node.
OR you can use their LSP service and run their embedded node on your phone but all that backend is their domain so, there's a trust model involved.
Here's the thing. Do you intend to comply with their rules? Even though now you are only time stamping your assets, do you intend on complying in the future? If so, what is the point of holding bitcoin? Why not just buy the ETF since you are not interested in sovereignty? Either you believe in inviolable property or you don't. There's no "I believe in property rights as long as it's legal." Do you not see the contradiction in freedom if it has to be legalized? If you are scared of prison, let Blackrock hold your coins for you.
Yeah, he just diluted his stock again. I feel like people aren't following the strategy here. Issue more shares(drops price), buy bitcoin(raises stock price).
Lazlo's Pizza all over again...
that's easy to say when your app literally does everything.
Oh no! What if I don't do it will they take my private keys away?! If the IRS wants you to identify your coins for them, to what ends do you think they are going? It's much easier to take your stuff if they know how much you have. This is where rubber meets road and people are exposed as LARPers.
Hey what's the cost basis for every baseball card you own, or other collectible. Do you not see that as ridiculous? Would you comply with that mandate? Governance demands you complicity.
Fair enough, Both nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5klqft7 and you are in my tags but I didn't explicitly ask him as well. I just kind of don't want the fight (again especially if it's mere miscommunication) to be ugly in public. Take the kid outside the restaurant, so to speak.
Be very tired prior to going to sleep and don't set an alarm.
