We wish all you beautiful nostriches out here a happy new year and ample abundance of #bitcoin.
Remember your new year's resolutions, but more importantly, remember to stack harder.
If you can't mine #bitcoin, then you should at least run a node.
If you can't run a #node, then you should at least hodl bitcoin.
if you can't hodl bitcoin, then there's nothing to be said except HFSP.
Sorry.
Yes, the side facing away from earth is called the dark side of the moon.
an 18 day old "Nostr Assets" #lightning #node with a capacity of 15 #BTC.

whomever is capable must run his/her own node.

nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t We are starting to invest in the equipment to run a node. Today we look at the Umbrel. We are wondering what other equipment/ software we will need in addition to the Umbrel. So far we understand we need:
•UPC
•SD Card Reader
• Raspberry Pi? Anything else for noobs with no idea but prepared to learn?
you can run Umbrel on a PC as well.
a cable connection to your router is preferred (as opposed to WiFi)
a 2TB SSD is an optimal choice.
What will happen to the two million or so #bitcoin that are on exchanges if the BlackRock ETF gets approved?
Will Blackrock try to sweep them all up or does it already own enough?
Are you interested in running a #bitcoin only full #node?
Do you own a desktop computer or a laptop?
It's very simple actually (and free)!
1. Head to
https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/ and download Bitcoin Core
2. Install it on your desktop computer or laptop (Windows, OSX and Linux)
3. Wait for the software to download the blockchain (WARNING: It's more than a 300 GB download) which could take anywhere from days to weeks
4. When you're set, connect your bitcoin wallet to your node and start verifying your own transactions

Running a #lightning #node requires your #bitcoin funds to be locked in for the entire period of the channel that is using it.
Having more funds means you can open more and bigger channels.
Channels smaller than 1 million sats are too small (in our opinion) and thus much harder to make up the costs associated with opening them.
If you can't run a lightning node because of lack of funds or for any other reason, at least try to run a bitcoin only node.

They're subtly trying to equate bitcoin with terrorism.
This will provide you with a general sense of how it's like to run a #lightning #node.

Good morning, hoping your day will be spectacular.
