Getting a personal trainer to get me to lift weights twice a week. Never did before. In my 30s now.

Interesting new Trust center from Gemini. GUSD is widely divergent from Coinmarket cap. Not sure what that is about.

I was trying to send this "large" 300k sats payment across two channels. But it was unable to find a route. I think was able to ssh into my node and use lncli payinvoice --pay_req to fulfill the invoice. Probably a configuration issue. Hope you can fix on the fly :)

#[0] Nice job in general on your work with umbrel. Been loads of fun playing around with it the last few days. Sure has come a long way since the Casa Node days :)

One improvement I saw today is with multi part payments. See thread.

#[0] I was testing out multi part payments and it doesn't look like the web extension allows for this. You can see from the screen shot that I do have enough inbound liquidity. Afterwords I was able to send sever small payments to reach the desired amount.

Very happy to see multip part payments working on lnd. I realize this is probably old news to the community, but still wonderful non the less. Haven't maxed out, but looks to handle 200k sats with ease.

Is there a better way to 100% empty a lightning wallet? I just can't live with leaving lightning dust. Doesn't feel right.

Nice overview of Lightning Labs Pool / Loop product although dated may 21. I'm waiting for some funds to land on chain and then I'll be playing around with this personally.

You host the image somewhere and then link to it. Imgur is pretty common.

After frying my last sourdough starter on my raspberry pi, iv started a whole wheat and white bread flour starter and am just keeping them on the counter. Looking good on day four. I'm expecting the whole wheat version to produce better bread, but we'll find out in a few days.

I don't see ordinals as an existential threat to bitcoin. More of an annoyance. They will get out competed by more dense real transactions if or when monitary transactions increase. Separately a quick lookup of 4 tb hard drives shows you can easily get one for under 100 USD which is easily attainable by any hobbiest and pushes any real concerns about not running a node out 10+ years imo.
