Listening to a podcast with an AGI pioneer bringing me back to my origins as a biologist. Half of my library consists of names dropped in pod eps.

Agree. It feels we are experiencing a phase transition. You can also see it from countless flashback reviews (in the early days ... that is my first transaction ... this is my keepkey ... this is me dumping all BCH for BTC ... etc). Next, we need to payments in Bitcoin everywhere.

I am thrilled to be your first Bitcoin customer, and I am looking forward to drinking my first coffee with the new mug #coffeechain

⚡ New Lightning Node: Open_Hand I’ve launched a new Lightning node called Open_Hand — a gesture of support for those building the Bitcoin economy. This node’s mission is simple: open channels to plebs, merchants, and anyone accepting sats for real-world goods and services. If you're running a node for a small business, a podcast, or another project and could use inbound liquidity, reply or DM me — I'd be happy to open a channel. Let’s grow the Bitcoin payments economy together 🌱 The node's id is 0206db3b9c7475b246d380987bb77cf55acb65e2b0913b6e7d97063efd6d3d3d95 #bitcoin #lightning #plebs #nocoinleftbehind

After the perfect storm of force closures yesterday, in addition to other issues with my database, I have decided to liquidate my lightning node, MindlinerTre, and start a new node 🍀 . This time, all channels will be opened with maximum support for adoption, a focus on small businesses who need inbound liquidity, and a preference for pleb nodes; details will follow.

Good fun 💯

If you are selling products or services for #Bitcoin using Lightning and need inbound liquidity, DM me. Let me know how much liquid would be ideal, and I'll be happy to review and open a channel accordingly. #noderunner #circular #economy #payment #adoption

Convenience and freedom don't always align.

No matter the yield. No matter the staking reward. No matter the DeFi buzz. You're always better off just hodling Bitcoin. 🧡

WTF is a mega watt (not using the SI nomenclature, please)?

Noderunner is indeed a tough job. If you are puzzled by and not willing to dig into any of the following, you'll be toasted sooner or later, even before dealing with lightning itself: "rdr on igc1 inet proto tcp from any to (igc1) port = 9735 -> 10.0.210.42 port 9735", "bind-addr", "bitcoin-rpcuser=clnusr", "rpc-file-mode=0660", or "runePath=", or "cln-backup:/mnt/datastore/hdds/cln /mnt/cln_on_backup nfs defaults 0 0". Advice from someone who is puzzled by things every week, but willing to dig deeper.

Sommerloch - deren Themenpipeline gleicht vielleicht gerade dem Mempool.

Here is my nostr-boost. The "overthinking" bit is funny, no kidding. Hodling Bitcoin means making decisions weekly. Those who offer the thesis of "you were just lucky" and are dear to me (the others get HFSP) get these questions: 1. Where would I have bought my Bitcoin in 2012? Perhaps on Mt. Gox? Leave on the exchange for convenience? 2. How would I have decided on August 1, 2017, when Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash split? Go all in on BCH, keep both, all in on BTC? 3. Would I have taken out a loan from Celsius in 2022 to generate "passive income" of 8–17%? And collateralize that loan with 3-5x in Bitcoin?

I would imagine in his position, there is no need to call the bottom: you make the bottom (or top).
