I like living on the edge. Like eating ice cream with a lactose intolerance or scrolling the universe once a day.

Its been a month since exploring btc, lightning and nostr - goes without saying I am blown away ..

Here are the things that I have done so far .. need pointers for course correction ..if any

- Installed #Umbrel on Ubuntu 20 - works like a charm

- Installed #LND and Bitcoin node - Pruned it to 150 gigs cuz I have only 250 gigs of total storage on my

#Mac running #Ubuntu

- Hard wired the internet to save from my iffy wifi. #BTCnode synced with a day. It is quite a thing to do on Macbook Pro cuz they don't have RJ45 port :-)

- Installed #thunderLightning and connected to

#amboss for buying some liquidity. It was probably the most difficult piece to get my head around that

#lightning is actually a liquidity network - Still many doubts

- Installed #Alby firefox extension. Transferred some sats from my #cashApp to limit my funds for the exploration to 500000 sats. Used Alby to send money to LND. Tried out #walletOFSatoshi on #Android. Both of them are production grade pieces of software.

- #Nostr account on snort.social as I am mostly on laptop. Tried out #Iris and #freeFrom on Android. All the Nostr clients are bit slow but seems like it is only a matter of time. Zapped a bunch to my own posts to check out the payment rails - 100 % - zero failure.

- Tried out #habala.news - what a beauty for long text. Posted a long post almost 6K words. Simple cut paste from a #markdown was awesome.

- Installed #lightningTerminal .. breaking my head on the #loop. To my credit , I figured out #LnC but it somehow didn't work with #snort. May be I am missing the purpose. Anyways , I have Alby lnurl into Snort. I guess I was wondering if I could connect my LND node to snort.

The difficult part

- The jargon takes a while

- lightning is all about liquidity and channels

The fun part

- with just one nostr ID I could go through snort, freefrom, iris, habala, nostrChat

- nostrapps.com -- many thanks to whoever built it . Its a must for the beginners.

- Umbrel makes it as easy as Android to install and manage server grade apps .. just wow

Wow. I have been here for about six months and I haven't done half of that. Not successfully anyway. Cudos!

Definitely looks like something more sinister

In likely case I get lost…

Now I am seriously curious about this process.

Does anyone know why we are missing all the Kit-Kat fun in Europe?

I mean, diet be damned, but all the tastes are just freaking awesome!
