Weird, wonder if that comment doesnt appear on a particular relay because of that. Id love to know which one was affected...

First of all, good job. Second of all, how are you doing almost 3 weeks later?

Whats the note address?

You're probably right, i spent a little bit of time trying to understand fediments but I decided against it on one aspect. Like liquid, your trusting a federation, but these would be your peers. For me, I had a hard enough time with managing a lightning node, I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy, my network doesnt have many bitcoiners much less tech savy people, so to expect them to manage and run a federation with a guaranteed 100% uptime when even I couldnt manage something like that would be just another sat sucker. Honestly, much of my experience is tainted towards lightning, so I will avoid it as much as possible. Liquid offers a federation of bitcoin companies that know what their doing better than me, and whose businesses depend on their transparency and legitimacy. If i were to try an open federation like mutiny, i would be trusting that they dont rug me just like with the liquid federation, except they are mostly anonymous nostr users who value their privacy. All that said, it might very well be a better option.

Definitely do homework on liquid first. It has significant trade offs that cause a lot of maxis to not consider it. Also, test out your peg out process before putting anything major in it. Boltz lets you peg out from liquid to lightning, but if you want to peg out to on chain, there are fewer options. Sideswap being the only one ive found so far. Let me know if you have questions, ill do mu best brother 🤙

Phases of ignorance in my Bitcoin Journey

Phase 1: Hey! Bitcoin is AWESOME! Let me buy some on Coinbase.

Phase 2: Coinbase is not a viable option, gotta find a different source. I discovered Nostr! This lightning wallet is REALLY nifty and easy to use.

Phase 3: I can buy Bitcoin on CashApp and send it directly to my wallet! But.......THIS lightning wallet isn't a viable option cause I don't hold my own keys.

Phase 4: I'm running my own lightning node, life is awesome, except Cashapp and Strike are KYC and I'm pretty sure I'm on a government list now for owning bitcoin.

Phase 5: The lightning node was a huge failure, lost a lot of money in force closures. I hate lightning. Sticking to Layer 1 ONLY! Also, Robosats and Bisq are awesome ways to buy noKYC coins.

Phase 6: The Mempool fees are killing me because of these people called wizards? Why does it cost $30 to send my $50 in Bitcoin to my wallet?! I'm already paying the noKYC premium!!

Phase 7: So lightning isn't too bad after all, but I still don't trust myself to not blow up a node, so I'll find a happy medium. Also, nobody told me that putting noKYC sats in a wallet with KYC sats would be a problem. FML

Phase 8: Discovered Sparrow wallet and it has this thing called coinjoin that supposedly makes it harder to track funds, what's the worse that could happen? Maybe this will allow me to buy cheap KYC sats and just mix them into infinity! Haha, ignorance is bliss!

Phase 9: Coinjoin was really expensive, and nobody told me I needed to keep my computer on while it ran. I haven't seen my sats in months. Why am I even doing this?

Phase 10: Finally finished mixing, my Cold Storage system is perfect! It would be a shame if I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet.

Phase 11: I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet. I've contemplated my existence and why God has allowed such incompetence to remain on planet earth. Also, finally understand the importance of VPN's which just makes this point sting that much more.

Phase 12: I discovered Liquid Network, and I now have a perfect system where I buy noKYC, send it straight to Liquid until the amount justifies a cold storage UTXO. Never touches lightning, and while I'm trusting in a federation of bitcoin companies to not come together and rug me, my odds are infinitely better than if I were to try and run my own lightning node again. Plus, the noKYC gives me all the benefits of a coinjoin without the high fees.

Phase 13: To be continued

When's the next update?

My new dream is to live off of my stack and use my free time to contribute to open source projects full time. Don't have the time in the day to dig into the code of any projects outside of work these days.

We do yearly bible plans, but my kinds often get force sign offs, cant log back into theor accounts so they lose their "badges" which are great motivators for them, etc. Half of them are too young to read so having daily bible plans they can listen to had been the feature that keeps me on the app.

I know a lot of people complain about Nostr client functionality, but have yall ever tried doing anything in the youversion bible app? Complete cluster duck, and can't even submit fixes cause it's not open source.

Some of you have been on the blue bird so long that you think a disagreement is a personal attack. Someone along the way convinced you that we can't be on the same team if we disagree about something. Nostr isn't Twitter. Nobody here wants to teach you a painful lesson or hopes that you fail. Even GFY here basically means "🫂" (...i think).

You'll find a range of strongly held opinions here on how you should do bitcoin, and while input is helpful, you are king of your castle and decide what's best for you, not the btc celebs. Welcome to freedom.

We need some open-source home nuclear reactors with the obvious accompanying youtube videos explaining how to diy. #plebchain

Yes, you.

But why cancel the order? Isn't that just more reason to have another?

Gpt hallucinations and double mind

How can i help

For real though, Miss Rachel has some fire tracks https://video.nostr.build/df1f6843a110a23ff736a099f7f67e8a4bcaf90e046b1efba7b884d47148be66.mp4
