GM It’s friday again! 🎉

GM y’all ✌🏻

But why is your bag of #coffee wet? Oooh…

GM ✌🏻

I discovered that by accident haha. So I came here to ask about it. I’m by no means familiar with AI 😅

Haha how so?

Upon trying to recover my Lightning node. I noticed that my channels have closed, they’re still closing I believe. I think those channels were just in order to zap people on #nostr so nothing big. But I wonder, once they’re closed, those funds just go back to my #bitcoin wallet right? channels were with btw ✌🏻 #asknostr

😅😅

I believe it is… before last weekend, it worked flawlessly.

Wait whut? Germany 🇩🇪 wants to withdraw their #gold from the US 1.213 tons worth of gold. that’s gonna be a pain in the ass.

I got that same problem.

I don’t use AI often, but I do think privacy is necessary, and that way I came across this one. Might give it a try? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay so. As some of you might’ve noticed, I had to redownload the whole #bitcoin blockchain (what other blockchains are there lol). Because I had messed up for some reason, I figured the easiest thing to do was starting all over. Unlike the first time, back in 2024, I noticed that it was taking ages to download. So I tried to adjust a few settings here and there… which of course caused the process to restart again 🤦‍♂️. I noticed those changes hadn’t really took the desired effect (which was faster downloads of course). As of today, it had been synchronizing for 5 days and it wasn’t even halfway! This afternoon, I took some advice from fellow noderunners and again tweaked some settings, restarted the download once again. Only to notice it was even worse, after 4 hours it was somehow still calculating the Block height. 😤 So, Impatient as I am, I said fuck it! (I mean, I waited 5 days already 🤷🏼‍♂️) Fuck it, let’s start over, once again. I watched a tutorial from (thx for your content 👊🏻 ) to make sure I wasn’t overseeing anything too. Then I’ve uninstalled all Bitcoin related apps, those were quite a few 😅. Finally uninstalled the Bitcoin Node app, turned off my Umbrel device and switched it back on again (IT people would love it lol) and reinstalled the Bitcoin Node app. Now, it only took a few minutes to calculate the Block height and currently we’re at 1.03% or Block 223302 of 932152 blocks. I know the first half or so should be quicker than the last part, but still, I have a good feeling about this. LFG ✌🏻 #bitcoin #NOSTR #node #btc #noderunner #core #umbrel

Oh ffs!

Day 5 ⏳ I feel like this is taking so much longer than the first time. I know there are much more blocks by now, but still… wow 47.16% or 668856 of 932092 blocks #bitcoin #node #core #noderunner #umbrel ✌🏻

Would be about damn time. Siri is shit atm

😁

I feel like it’s much slower now. Not sure why that is

2 days and counting. 25.16% or 530603 of 931677 Blocks. ✌🏻 #bitcoin #noderunner

While my node is still downloading… I tried setting up the wallet, for temporary usage. If someone could be so kind to send a small itty bitty test zap, that would be nice. ✌🏻 #zaps
