Last Notes npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I do get that dialog, but when I click on Nostr I only get this: https://i.nostr.build/6Zs2XYdsdY29048p.webp and there's no way to get rid of that popup, except for that Log out button. So it's either me giving them what they want (but don't need), or not logging in at all. But then somehow I'm still logged in, without the site showing any signs of it. It's really confusing. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yeah, it seems they don't care about nostr much.
While looking for contact infos I scrolled down to the footer and there's lot's of "social media" links, but no npub, no mention of nostr, although they obviously have a profile.
There have been a lot changes since I first joined, but honestly, none of them made it better, or easier to use (for me at least).
It's kinda sad though. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas When I discovered nostr, nostrcheck.me was the first thing I found when looking for a place to put my pfp and it gave me a nip-05 too, that's 2 birds with one stone, yay!
Added the relay a bit later and am still using it.
Keep it up. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas So, when trying to login, the site only allows me to add an email, or log out again, nothing else.
I chose to logout, not because I strictly don't want to give you my email, but because you don't effin' need it for anything, so why do you want it in the first place?
Anyway, I clicked "log out" instead of "save email" and then went to support some project anonymously anyway.
That's what I thought, but it seems I was wrong. The "anonymous" payment was recognized as coming from my npub and I'm suddenly logged in. Or was I all the time? And why didn't the site show me that I am? @npub1kmw…xqk9 gets weirder everytime I try it. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Meanwhile in germany ... https://cybernews.com/security/dnssec-failure-causes-german-internet-blackout/ npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Still no nostr-login possible (without email).
Guess I have to only donate anonymously from now on. That's probably better for privacy anyway, so thanks? @npub1kmw…xqk9 @npub13v9…3rka npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I coud, but.... no thanks.
They are really, really, really fuckin' slow, compared to other, newer, better laptops that I own. So if there's a need for another system, I got some room for that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Look at these beauties! https://i.nostr.build/sex00CuFPVb7ZMyz.webp The HP Omnibook 6100 was actually the first laptop I ever bought. It came with a Pentium3-1000 and 512MB RAM, not much, but enough to run win2k and later even bitcoin-qt. The Asus EeePC 1000H already had 1GB Ram, but its Atom CPU isn't really much (or any) better than the P3-1000. Again just about enough power to run bitcoin on it back in the days.
There was a time when both of them mined about 1-2 Blocks per day.
Sounds like a joke, doesn't it? But that's all you needed in 2010 to start mining, just some CPU that works, no matter how fast or slow.
And the best part: they both still work!
On the Omnibook a display hinge is broken and oc both batteries are dead, but besides that they still work just fine ~20years later. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Hey @npub1kmw…xqk9 , why do you try force me to add an email now? So you can help me "recover my account"? That's not necessary, thank you. I can take care of my nsec myself and honestly I doubt you would be able to help me in any way if i lose it, with or without knowing my email. Trying to login right now I can either give you my email, or just "logout" again, so without email, I can't do anything! WTF? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas It's not an invoice form the LN wallet, cuz there is none. It's an invoice from the swap-service, that's why it has a swap-ID. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Did a quick search and the websites blog says: "BULL’s Instant Payments Wallet is built natively on the Liquid Network." https://www.bullbitcoin.com/blog/how-bull-wallet-uses-liquid-to-send-and-receive-lightning-without-managing-channels So where did you get the idea that it is a LN wallet? Yes, you can send lightning payments, but all transactions are auto-swapped from liquid to lightning before they're sent to the recipient. Yes, you can also receive lightning payments, but again, those are auto-swapped before they land in your wallet. And of course those auto-swaps charge a swap-fee that you have to pay on top of the lighnting fee for every single transaction. In times of higher lightning-fees than on-chain fees, paying an additional fee for swaps doesn't sound fun to me at all. I'm not saying Liquid in general is bad, quite the opposite, it's a useful tool. but I would never recommend it for your everyday lightning needs. Tricking people into using it by telling them "it's a lighntning wallet!" is even worse. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Is bull bitcoin a LN wallet now? Last time I checked it's been a liquid wallet, which is why i never used it. If that changed I might look at it again, but somehow I doubt it did. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas The funny thing is it's cheaper that way!
As crazy as it sounds, but swapping to liquid first and from there swap again to onchain-BTC is cheaper than swapping directly to onchain-BTC. At least if you use Boltz.
And you can bundle smaller swaps into on big UTXO, which is also kinda nice.
So why wouldn't you do it? Just because it involves that federation token? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas One-shot prompt sounded good,
but now I've been arguing with him for about 2-3 hours and still havent received that first DM.
I think my bot is way to retarded to get anything right.
As I said: it's not as easy as they say it is. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I'm gonna giva a try later, thx. I tried the bundled nostr plugin of course, but couldn't get it to work, had similar "duplicate pluginID" errors as with Matrix and wasn't in the mood to spend another bunch of hours on that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas So, with all the talk about it, I decided to finally look into OpenClaw myself to see what all the fuss is about. Setting it up was (and still is) a pain in the ass, seriously, it took me a couple of days just to get the basics running. Trying to make it as private and (kyc-)free as possible, the struggles started with the communication channel. I choose Matrix as a first step, cuz i don't use whatsapp, discord, or telegram and i can just run a Matrix homeserver in my LAN. That's pretty private, right? But the plugin failed to load. After hours of tinkering and sweating and being angry at my bot (who gave me lots of imaginary "fixing" solutions that "work 100%"), i eventually got it to work. Then i looked for a Brave API key to make web_search work, but guess what? Without KYC you don't get shit at Brave, privacy my ass. So now i also run SearXNG in my LAN, which has a json API that just needs to be actvated and... oc another openclaw plugin, which again gave me a headache cuz after endless config-edits and retrys some .json-file still had the wrong pluginID that caused errors. Took a while to find that one. But now it just works, without the need for a CC, or bank-account, or whatever else Brave wants for those "free credits", GFY! For LLM access i choose PPQ.ai and it works like a charm. Good job, @npub16g4…kv4h ! The bot's already able to check the credit_balance himself and it looks like topping up credits isn't much harder than that, but he doesn't have a lighnting wallet yet. That's on my todo list though. Long story short: it wasn't/isn't as easy as they say it is and a hallucinating bot doesn't help much, it often makes it worse than it was, but it's still kinda fun, better than watching the news anyway. tbh most of the time i have no idea what i'm doing, just copy-pasting code snippets from here to there and back again, but in the end it turns out that even a noob like me can do it. It just .... takes a while. Now wth am i gonna do with this thing? #openclaw #slop #ppq npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas No, thank you! You guys do the hard part. Me? I just zap, something easy enough even I can do it. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Seems to work now. Thanks for the tunes and be sure to have a nice day! npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas HighAllTime > AllTimeHigh Have a nice weekend. https://wavlake.com/track/5d134772-9be4-48f6-8509-1f1f69faedc4 npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Just use a VPN. https://tunnelsats.com/ makes it quite easy to get a clearnet connection without revealing your IP. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas https://i.nostr.build/NcdwZA8jSwfyzZ58.png npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas You don't. You can either use a platform like https://wavlake.com or selfhost and use an RSS feed to be in full control of everything. I'm just a listener, so I'm not the best person to explain the latter, just search for "rss v4v" or something, or maybe @npub18am…p424 can help. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Same but I thought talking about the issues might help fix them. And tbh I'm more curious about wtf might cause my current issue, being able to just click a link, but unable to open the same f***in' link in a new window/tab is so strange. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas But,....I did, said I "..updated noStrudel on my umbrel.." On nostrudel.ninja everything works fine, that's why it's not really a big deal, but it kinda bothers me anyway. And it worked ok before I updated. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Is that a challenge? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas My pleasure. Wish I could help with coding and stuff too, but I've no clue about that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Ok, performance, I get that. I kinda like the jumble layout too, but I liked the side drawer even more. Would be cool if you could get those performance issues solved. I'll just be patient then and see what you come up with. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas That'd be ... let me just try .. nope, when I use umbrel.local:3149 instead of theIP , I still get the same results. Thought I checked that before, but wasn't sure. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Thanks @npub18am…p424 for https://zaptrax.app/ Still can't use much of wavlakes features in its "browser-app", simple stuff like favs, or playlists. Always tells me I need to login (as in create an actual account), instead of just using my npub that I'm already logged in with. Now with ZapTrax I finally can and even more. I effin' love it. So again, thank you very much! #music #wavlake #zaptrax npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas StartOS works great on old laptops. Mine had a >1year uptime before i updated to the latest version a couple of days ago. I had to re-flash and of course was worried some things might not go as expected, but everthing went as smooth as it gets. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yay, it works! Thanks again. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Thanks! Oh and btw I'm using chrome on desktop, not any mobile-app you might or might not have (I don't even know). npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I'm on chrome too, but when I right-click on your name to open a new tab, I see this.. https://i.nostr.build/5P2rIef0tnUkZkrJ.webp Why that is? idk I hope someone can tell me. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yeah, that side-drawer-pop-up-thingie, no clue what it's called, but I miss it. And for the clear data/cookies part: I already tried that and did so again just now, didn't help in any way though, still only get 404s. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas @npub1ye5…knpr I recently updated noStrudel on my umbrel and ... noticed something. Where is the "open thread in a pop-up"-button, that was shown in the top-right corner of notes? Why is it gone? I used that all the time and now it's gone. Sad thing is, I tried to open threads in a new tab instead, but that doesn't work either. No idea why, but all I get when trying to open anything (notes, notifications, streams settings, whatever) in a new browser-tab is a 404-error. Even reload only works on the homepage, but not on /notes, /streams, ... again 404. I don't really like that, can I just get my old version back, pretty please with a cherry on top? Nah, jk ... I guess, but can you please look into and hopefully fix those issues? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Thanks, I never purchased any product though, so it' probably a bug, but I kinda knew that already. I was able before to donate without problems, it's just lately that I can't, well, at least not while logged in, anonymous donations still work fine. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas 1. No, I dind't have a chance to (de)select anything. 2. I've tried this multiple times, with days in between (in fact I just tried it again), I guess that counts as "refreshing". And no, I don't get the option to deselect the subscribe to updates button, didn't even know a button like that exists. The only options I get are to tell you my email, write a comment, or just leave. The only setting I can find to deselect subscribtions is in my profile and it's been OFF since I joined geyser. I can't find any other way anywhere to un-subcribe to project updates, even tried to un-follow, but that didn't work either. That's why I asked you to make it easy to find such a button. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas @npub1kmw…xqk9 Why do I need an email now to finish donations? I never needed an email before, but now it always tells me "Email is required when subscribing to updates.", I'm not subscribing to updates though, at least my profile settings say so and I can't find any settings on the projects pages to un-subscribe. Please just make it easy to shut those email-updates off, so you don't need my email anymore for a service that I don't wanna use anyway. I can get projects updates on the projects pages just fine. Thanks npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Can't get this song outof my head. Send Kweks some love! https://wavlake.com/album/345a3ddc-c9ef-41a0-a6c9-7a68d4f0ea01 #music #wavelake npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas There actually is a story.... I first tried to use the Support feature in noStrudel like last time, but it couldn't create an invoice. Running it locally on my umbrel i next tried nostrudel.ninja, but it couldn't create an invoice either. Went to geyser, but wasn't able to finish the donation without an email, even though i have all notifications turned off. Tried [email protected] , again no invoice. In the end, i just used the "Send Tip" button on your noStrudel profile. Hope I didn't accidently burn sats and you still can access them. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas You can run a neutrino backed litd lightning node in a couple of minutes. https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/speedrun npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Happy Birthday, Champ! npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Never heard of it, so I thought I'd check it out. "... a fast, simple, secure wallet app for the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cryptocurrency." WTF, dude?! npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas In the early days of Bitcoin, alpaca socks were a thing. I never got any myself, but they were quite famous, like mentioned in the first weusecoins "What is bitcoin?" video in 2011 and there's even a bitcoin-song called alpaca socks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYqqS7aTBVQ npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas The flippening is near! npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Get in tune for a nice weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HMu5SS46_Y npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Still kindof a nub myself, but I'll give it a try: It always depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you just want to hold your keys and need a channel only to zap and be zapped, small channels are ok, maybe even make them private, so you're the only one using them. (Lightning-)Fees don't really matter on private channels, I'd do a small zero-fee channel with you if you need one, just gimme a hint. If you want to route other peoples Tx, bigger is always better, in terms of network-liquidity and fee-settings. example szenario: you open a channel for 99sats and assume you might be able to close it for another 200sats. You'd set the fee of a 1M channel to 300ppm, so if the channel just gets drained, you don't lose money. For a 10M channel your low-risk-fee-limit would only be 30ppm though, which means cheaper Tx (and better liquidity) for everyone. And for the sooner rather than later question, that's just a matter of the mempool/on-chain-fees really. Everytime the fees are low is a good time to open (or close) channels, no matter the size, now or someday. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yep, it is. Pretty cool that you can open channels for 99sats these days, or even less if you batch more than just 2 channels into one Tx at 1sat/vB. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas And it feels good too. 😉 I already liked the old one. When I bought it I didn't even know it was just a chinese (or whatever) copy. No surprise that the real one is even better. It's about a hundred bucks though, but worth every penny. https://imcorona.com/product/64-3115/ npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Did that for a while to me too. A local instance on running my umbrel is much faster though, so that's what I use. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas That's what I call a Good Morning! Hope you have one too. https://i.nostr.build/epth2SGo39n7eweD.webp npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Maybe worth mentioning to be careful which UTXOs to choose to not lose privacy in the process. If you got KYC and non-KYC sats, you probably don't want to mix them. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Good mornin' weirdos, weekend's close, you're almost there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiiGWxO-VkY npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas No bitcoin payment option though. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas ..as a name for my Island that is. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Nah, that already took about 90% of my braincells and tbh i really liked Bob... more than Boobs anyway. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Boobs? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Bob npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas After more than 25years my trusty old-boy-clone, the best lighter I ever had, started leaking gas from its plastic tank. Now I finally bought a new one and this time it's not even a clone. Hope it lasts at least as long as its cheapish copy. New vs Old https://i.nostr.build/dMjUdznFSf00A05U.webp npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas If I have to ... noStrudel, but, you know, we can't stop people from just building new things, so I doubt it'll come to that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas You're very welcome. #v4v and stuff npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Well, 1. it wasn't much of a test, just a geyser donation and 2. I tried, geyser wouldn't let me send 1m, said it's your wallets limit or somethin', so I sent 999999 instead, which.. kinda worked it seems. Couldn't find any other way to donate, maybe with p2p, you know, without middlemen, the next "test" will be 7 figures. 😉 ... anonymous donations are the best they said ... npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I'm always looking for peers to open channels with, would rather have some more inbound myself, but depending on your needs, I guess I could open a channel to you. Just let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas For me it is and has been the easiest job I ever had. Just don't do anything at all, that's one of my hobbies anyway and I'm pretty good at that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Good talk, the one question you didn't ask though is: HOW? Iris-scans like Worldcoin? Protocol-level DNA-scans? I guess AI can help with that, I'm not sure, bjut it sound a lot like KYC on steroids. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas There probably is no "best", but a cloud hosted Alby Hub would do the job I guess. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Heard about https://shipyard.pub/ yet? Maybe helpful. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Was just about to try again, but I guess I'll wait a bit longer then. Take your time and maybe grab a coffee first. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas "GrapeRank found 0 people in your network." That's all I get, will try again later. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Well deserved my friend. Now get back to work! npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Mornin' weirdos, here's something to wake you up. https://youtu.be/9xi4O4RvlnQ #music npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Mullvad was one of the first services ever to accept (and the first I ever payed for with) Bitcoin. In 2010! Been using them ever since. NordVPN does way to many stupid TV ads here for me to ever consider giving them my sats. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yes, it was Gavin Andresen. I remember using it once, sent the coins right back to it after though, cuz I didn't really need them. Good old cpu-mining 50btc-blocks days. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas No? In the end it's just a self-custodial liquid-wallet, why would you need an email, or KYC for that? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yep, you can receive Lightning transactions, but those are insta-swapped to Liquid by the Boltz service (involving a fee) and you can send Lightning, but those are then swapped from your Liquid-balance by the Botlz service (involving a fee). It works and does so incredibly well, but it'll cost you some sats. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yeah, because it's a Liquid wallet, not a lightning wallet. It's not actually "them" charging though, it's Boltz who's charging the fee. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Used it a couple of time to rebalance channels on my nodes. Works quite good, although the swap-fees add up quickly if you rebalance a couple of million sats. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Its permissionlessness. That's what I liked most about Bitcoin, that's what I like about nostr. Don't ask for permission, just do it. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yeah, I already noticed something's wrong, not sure yet what it is though. It's a nostrcheck.me hostname that worked fine before, but not anymore. Guess I have to change that. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Here's the one from @npub1der…xzpc https://dergigi.com/2023/01/19/how-to-build-a-nostr-gm-bot/ npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas As usual a great video. I used the Aqua liquid wallet a couple of times to rebalance some of my nodes channels and avoid lots of small onchain-utxos in the process, this wallet seems like it might be a good alternative to that. Was wondering though if you can explicitly receive liquid transactions. Does the "choose format" button that we've seen let you choose what transactions to receive? Like, givin you a liquid invoice instead of lightning? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Guess you got that wrong, it wasn't my intention to belittle lnbeats, the opposite is true, i think it's great. I don't even know what the Forbes-part is about. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yeah, that's a workaround to zap shows i'm unable to zap on fountain, but it doesn't change the fact that wavlake and fountain don't work as they should. I get that most people use mobile devices for everything these days, but don't just forget about us that do not. If you offer a "browser-app", please make it work. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas What about us desktop users that don't use apps? We can't even create a playlist, clicking the heart-button does nothing but tell us to "Please login to add to your favorites list." I love wavlake, but most of the features don't work for me. Same is true for fountain, can't even zap anymore since the nostr-login-update. Makes me kinda sad. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Only on the Autobahn, for trains afaik the french TGV is faster than the ICE. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas or that npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I run both and tbh i like start9 more, worth checking out for sure, but it's still tor-only (until soon™), so if you need clearnet-connections you might wanna stick to umbrel for now. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas should be *I've tried them* of course npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Sure, if tried them, but #peerswap is a way to rebalance existing channels using the liquid-network, lightningnetwork.plus/amboss are ways to create new channels (or find partners to do so). That's 2 completely different things that are hard to compare. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Impossible to tell if coins are lost, or just haven't moved for whatever reason. So, by trying to "get lost coins back" you/those future people are basically trying to steal coins that you/they can't be sure are actually lost. They're free to fork however they want anyway, FOSS ftw. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas You can (and should) backup a channel, yes. You might still "lose the L2" when using such backup due to the channel being force closed, but you'll get your remaining local sats back on L1, so you're not actually losing anything (except maybe Tx-fees for the channel-close). npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas The liquidity doesn't disappear if you swap it, it just moves from local/outbound to remote/inbound. Like, you open a 1m sats channel and have 1m sats to spend and 0 sats to receive, you swap those 1m sats to pay off your loan and then have 1m sats to receive and 0 to spend. Doable, but just buying a channel with inbound liquidity might probably be cheaper than tx-fees + ln-fees + swap-fees + loan-fees. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas My new favourite song on #wavlake https://wavlake.com/track/e3c2dfb1-4cc2-4b46-886a-94dad84c8c18 npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Well, if I could zap/boost at all, I could do it with or without alby, I often zap from Zeus instead of the browser-extension. The problem is @fountain doesn't show me any way to zap anymore, no button, no link, no qr-code, nuttin that says "zap here!". Guess it's no problem when using the mobile app, but I never did, I'm an oldschool desktop user. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas For some reason, I can't zap on @npub1v5u…n0v5 anymore when using the browser-app, or maybe I'm just to stupid to find the button? Whatever it is, zapped the note instead. Not a boost, but appreciation at least. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this gm-bot-tutorial by @npub1der…xzpc that you might wanna check out. https://dergigi.com/2023/01/19/how-to-build-a-nostr-gm-bot/ npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas idk, would probably work, but is not really a solution (at least for me). They need lots of cash to do what they do and donating relevant amounts in 1k-chunks is .... semi-optimal. Guess I don't have much of a choice, either that, or not donating at all. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas When they started accepting btc-donations, they just had a bitcoin-address shown on their website, but then <someone> decided to donate an amount that prolly was too big for them to handle. They got scared, removed the address the next day and came back a couple of months later with coinbase and BitPay as payment providers. I wish they would do it on their own again, but I guess they won't. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Crazy shit, isn't it? Just yesterday I wanted to donate some corn to one of my goto donation-recipients and noticed that BitPay (the PSP they use) already implemented this bullshit. Can't donate more than €1000 without KYC. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Keep being weird, anything else is boring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eO6up9Gpv0
