Progress. Of some sort.
Stasis satisfies.
Better than regression.
My current recovery plan 😰😂
I'll keep surfing forums and nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctc9ad278 guides as I go, but if I get real stuck I'll reach out for help I barely understand 😂🫂🫡
Got my keys, if the channels close, just need more channels I think to help with routing my payments. But. Send and receive do work intermittently 😂
I'm in so far over my head right now figuring out my lightning node and I love it. I don't gamble but this is pretty fucking close 😂
Forgot that now that I'm running my own lightning node I can just backend on my own, I haven't really kept up with the albyhub thing because I didn't want to pay for the monthly.
Now however... 🤔
Got thunderhub one channel open and a second pending waiting for the confirmations.
Made an outgoing payment to phoenix no problem, had some failed receives but got one through with alby. Hoping once I add more channels it smooths out some. But.
Got way further than I expected so far though.
Tinker tinker. 🫂🫡
I funded the on chain wallet this morning. Now I have to mess around on amboss or something and figure out how to open my first channel to a node.
Work in progress.
Can't get sick if you never got the cake I suppose 
Synced and electrum servers running for Sparrow and a couple mobile wallets 😎🤘 
Even got my npub activity backing up from public relays to my own. Been a fun day.
New node synced. Electrum server set, back ended some of my wallets, connections work...
The question is do I let it simmer like this, or probably lose some sats fucking around and finding out how to set up a lightning node?
I'm not sure I'm cut out for that level of complexity.
I got mine from https://www.solosatoshi.com/
And after some searching since Amethyst wasn't pulling up the @ I think this might be the npub and what they posted recently....
Two are from solo Satoshi and one is from Kaboomracks. All shipped with a 3D printed stand, I think I'd stick with solosatoshi in the future though, especially for this nerd miner level level. Also like their stands more 😂
Mainly on phone, my work PC was no problem. But you can access via WiFi on a phone, I can't if my VPN is connected.
Also. One in that cubby, no problem. All three. One of the three kept getting the of some of the warmer air no matter how I positioned them. Not overheating but... I just didn't want it like that.
Sir, I tried all sorts of set ups to make it look even better, but open airflow gives me better temps.
Super easy set up though, once you make sure to turn off a VPN 😂 
Been fun learning a little more about mining, pools, hashrates and understanding difficulty adjustments if nothing else.
Spinning up my second, hopefully better and consistently online node.
The last two weeks have been what the last year of procrastination has wrought.
