My Pleb Lightning Node update: ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ In less than a month, my pleb Lightning Tor routing node with only 10 channels has routed 315 transactions. Volume =12,879,127 sats Fees earned = 3,320 sats I will be back to post a full month update next week. Cheers! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

I forgot to mention my Avalon hash, 6.5 Th/s is also going solo to Public_Pool So I've got about 17.6 Th/s total. Not bad for a pleb!

Home Mining Update...Winter is coming! It's fall right now in New England, 41 degrees F outside right now at night. My Avalon Nano 3S doesn't produce enough heat for my entire apartment (my toes are freezing right now!) because it is too efficient of a machine (props to Canaan)! Therefore, I just had to turn on my S9. I'll be warm soon. I also have a Bitaxe Gamma going (negligible heat). In case anyone is curious, there's where I'm sending my hash: 1.1 Th/s from Bitaxe -> Solo public_pool @Public_Pool_BTC 1 Th/s from S9 -> Solo CK pool @ckpooldev 9 Th/s from S9 -> Ocean pool mining @ocean_mining I'm splitting my S9 hash using BraiinsOS @BraiinsMining I haven't calculated my pooled rewards yet because I literally just turned on my S9 right now. But I'll report back in a week on how many sats I'm earning per day (not accounting for electricity cost, of course). Also, I'm working on self-hosting an instance of Public_Pool and also will soon be "non-pool" mining through my Start9 server with Datum Gateway. Work in progress

On today's episode of NEED runs a node from his @start9labs home server... - I purchased some inbound liquidity using @getAlby Hub. This was really cool and definitely wasn't this easy back when I was running a node just 2 years ago! Alby Hub has so many great features and ways to connect to other Lightning apps/wallets. ✅ - I moved a good chunk of on-chain sats to my node in anticipation of opening a few channels. I'll be opening first to @predyx_markets to continue my support of their awesome Lightning-enabled platform! ⚡️✅ - I did my first server wide backup including all apps. Not trivial, but again, easy-to-follow instructions are included by Start9, and so far, every single issue I've run into has been promptly solved after asking a question in their 24/7 live support Matrix forum ✅ - I followed more instructions to ensure I have a secure https local browser connection. ✅ - I found a nostr relay service in the Start9 registry marketplace - I'll be exploring these instructions soon so I can start my own nostr relay! This is all frickin' awesome and so empowering. Every Bitcoiner should run their own server and node. Do it!
