Last Notes npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin It's a beautiful area. One of my favorite places in the state. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin @npub1dld…fd8s npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I'm not knowledgeable in this area at all (yet), but I'm in Central Florida as well and just put in a mango and a tangerine tree. Apparently they both grow well in our climate. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Agreed npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Finally graduated college today. Even though I'm in my mid-thirties, it feels good to have that done. #plebchain #college #bitcoinveterans npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I use umbrel for non-bitcoin things and Start9 for my node. I like the quantity that Umbrel has for an easy home server and the security that Start9 has for Bitcoin software. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Strike tracks and reports to the govt as required, but we have to compile everything from any other sources, come with with the cost basis and calculate gains using the FIFO method. It's a huge pain. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin If you don't give a basis, I believe they assume it to be $0. I've tried the automated software, but a good old fashioned spreadsheet does the job better. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Well damn. This was my backup wallet in case my node messed up. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Yes. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Accountants need to stay in their lane! Investment advice is not it. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Yes. Drives me nuts. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I use Boltz exchnage for this. You put in the address you want the btc to go to and pay the swap lightning invoice so the swap only involves one on chain transaction. Can be done the other way around as well. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I think I'm partial to HODL DIAMOND DICK npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I run a node. I believe your tutorials helped me in my lightning journey. Are you saying that the insane fees are a result of the halving and not degens and their shitcoin scams? The fees are already falling compared to last night. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin It's not about NGU. It's about quantity goods and services go up. Thinking purely about number of sats you receive is missing the point of a noninflationary asset IMO. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Perfect phrasing, lol npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Robosats? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Same. "The books are better" crowds will always try to ruin book-based shows and movies. They CAN both be good. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin For real. Gotta replace my roof pretty soon. All those potential sats going to the literal roof over my head. #nevent1q…gu3d npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin That makes total sense. Very logical. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin By your logic, it would be the road builder's fault. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Well this is fucked npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin 100%! I love my life. I'm just looking forward to having ample time to enjoy it with my family. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Air Force here too, man. The VA is a dumpster fire. Definitely reach out to Bitcoin Veterans. They are full if resources. Have you tried to work with a VA lawyer? I'm in the process of doing that now since my first round didn't go as well as it should have. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin For now just for my lightning address. I'm not overly paranoid, but I do appreciate privacy from the general public. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I haven't had any luck finding a tutorial on setting up the webserver. I'm kinda learning as I go. At the moment I have an address that uses Fiatjaf's server with my domain. Do you know of any "easy to follow" resources? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Easy! Go online, order a Pixel, flash GrapheneOS (or one of the other ironically non-google systems for the google phone), download Amethyst with Obtainium from Github, and lose the Apple slave tech 😆 Mostly joking. I know it's a hard ecosystem to get out of once you're in. I don't know anything about the Apple clients, though. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Amethyst does a good job of this. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin To connect to your node, I like Zeus. Their integrated node seems to work well too. Mutiny is popular, but I had my channel force close for seemingly no reason and got rugged (never got those sats back). Otherwise, I've had no issues with Phoenix wallet as a backup to my personal node. But seeing as how popular they are, I'd guess you've tried them and don't like them. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Gm! Post-workout breakfast of champions. https://image.nostr.build/1f7c42148800d094a70a1fcb0e1563972c52c8a92ceb7bd4f9fc0b2952b0bc69.jpg npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Lurking can be eye opening too! The people of nostr have exposed me to a lot. Books, programs, companies, groups, events, etc that I would never have known otherwise. I generally don't have a lot to say, but I enjoy learning from smart people. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I might be missing it, but where would I pick it up from? And could I just pay you sats in person instead of filling out my address info on the website? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and missing the connection. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Is that really a fair comparison? A version of the protocol itself vs one of many methods of self custody security? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Amethyst plus Amber for signing. Then you can keep your nsec in one place and out of the client. More native apps should use it. I'm not sure why they don't. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Sorry I missed this. I use Amethyst almost exclusively. I try Primal occasionally, but never see a reason to switch. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Bitcoiner here, but I'm no influencer nor am I a great content creator. I learn a lot about a lot of different things here, though. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I see ya. I doubt any actual Bitcoiner would go along with that scenario. But what do I know? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Took the little one to a farm, swam in the pool, and Stacked more Sats today. It was a good day for future Devin. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Used to be a shitty excuse to get sloppy drunk. Now it's my kid's birthday. Much more wholesome these days. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I would think you can, though it isn't something I've looked into, so I'd do a little digging on that. Maybe someone here can answer that question with more certainty. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Honestly, if you are considering moving back to Apple anyway, you may as well give it a shot first. Try for a few weeks or so and if it's not your thing, no harm done. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Its my daily driver and works without issue. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I use a Pixel with GrapheneOS and love it. You don't really need to change the way you use it if you are just looking for a way to keep big brother Goog off your back. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Important conversation here... https://fountain.fm/episode/8LMjQtDkrp5qPfSHWvdO npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Damn it... Now I need to get a physical copy to start looking. I felt like I caught a few hints, but figured someone else would get to it before me. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin At the Florida Strawberry Festival, this guy is creating master pieces out of logs with a chainsaw. Pretty fun to watch. https://image.nostr.build/261f20fedcfdc9853aae87fde7031f48004730b37df175a4dd43278842f2bbf8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3e96cd3668813384f8b46ee5dfa297cbab467011879384ea222d92519a163d4c.jpg npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin In times like these I really love being my own bank. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Man, I'd love to BTFD but I blew my load on a miner last week. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin My opinion: When the opportunity cost of not spending is greater than that of spending. It depends on the individual, their situation, and their opportunities. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin GM #gm npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Slept right through it! npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin This man's face lights an unreasonable level of anger in me. Fuck Dimon and his corrupt crew of pedophiles. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I thought I was following, but just had to refollow. I've enjoyed the podcast but haven't had any real involvement. I'd love to change that, though. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin #plebdads and #plebvets here npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Sorry, bad wording on my part. I meant it doesn't help you much since you run a node. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin You don't need the extra step. But for people who only know and use custodial lightning solutions, it's pretty cool and simple. I can appreciate the privacy add, too. I like the idea of a cheap "tumbler" between my purchase from Robosats and my node. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin My first time interacting with enuts/cashu. It's pretty slick. Are there any mints that are more established/reliable than others? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Any plans for Amber support or something along those lines? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I saved this to get back and give it a go. The only issue I'm having is that in the LND Properties in Start9 the LND Connect REST URL goes straight from "...onion:8080" to the "macaroon=..." With the cert hex nowhere to be seen. Do you know where else I could find that hex? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin You guys are awesome. Thank you for the free resource! npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I'm glad to see https and backups are coming. Any ideas on when those will be released? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Elaine! https://image.nostr.build/9c1ed2787de52385e99777e3c895d06e34f8d8f037b0f8a4b86c8ba7f8b44b34.jpg npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Umbrel* obviously... npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Looks great! Is there an easy way to back everything up built in? That's the only concern I have right now with my Umbrella cloud. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin This book is amazing! I'm a little over half way through it and hooked. I was already fully orange pilled, but if I wasn't, 21 would finish the job. Excellent job of combining real world happenings with the fictional aspects. I'd keep buying if you keep writing! npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Spinning up my old Ubuntu Server node to try out CLN. I always get excited to tinker with new stuff when it comes to Bitcoin software. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Hell yeah! Go Bucs! Last week blew me away. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Thank you. I stacked more after seeing this 🫡 npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Sweet! I've got some more learning to do, lol. Bitcoin has really caused me to up my tech knowledge game. I had never assembeled a computer or touched CLI before I decided to run a node. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I used your YouTube tutorials to set up a full lightning node and they were extremely helpful. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make those! npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I've been running my lightning node on a NUC with relative reliability, but I'm definitely looking for ways to upgrade to prevent issues in the future. As a starting point for my research, what does your Lightning Node setup look like as far as hardware is concerned? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I was very interested. But apparently I'm not welcome. I quit smoking over 10 years ago, but since I am still a *former* smoker, I guess I'm ruled out? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin It's unfortunate that it needs to be one extreme or the other. Without insurance, a single significant incident would bankrupt most people because hospitals charge a shitload of money for a couple of Advil. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I see. My addressiss getalby because I am moving and my node is going offline. But I never used the integrated node/wallet as my zap address, so I can't speak to that. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I'm curious too. Zeus has been working great for me. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Thanks! Thats what I was look into. I've seen that some are compatible with Gadgetbridge. Do you know if the Garmin Connect app is overly invasive for the newer watches? Or can any of them work relatively well with Gadgetbridge? I've looked online to see the permissions, etc, but I'm not sure which ones are absolutely needed for intended functionality. I appreciate the tips! npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Just pulled the trigger on it today. Once you said Android Auto is coming, I knew it was time. Now I just need to figure out my watch situation. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I've tested it on the pixel tablet and like it a lot. I've been back and forth on buying the Pixel 8 with some of my sats while they have holiday discounts to get all the way out of the Google ecosystem. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I have been pretty agnostic to ordinals. But if they are in fact paying 1/4 of the price for the block space they take compared to other transactions, it seems like an issue. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin This seems like the most logical response. When exploits are discovered, they get corrected. It doesn't mean the entire system is fundamentally broken. Exploits have been discovered and corrected in the protocol many times over the years. Why is this one so different? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin It looks like one of my peers closed a channel on me with a 11.2 sat/vB fee rate for the closing transaction. Currently mempools are purging <12.9 sat/vB. I don't see a way to bump the fee. What comes next? #lighting #asknostr #lightningnetwork #plebchain npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Awesome! Last time I tried that was a no-go if I recall correctly. Time to get sovereign while tx fees are less ridiculous. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I would love to use my zeuspay lnurl on my external node for zaps, but ran into routing issues that hung them up. I thought that strange since I have large channels open to well connected nodes with plenty of inbound liquidity. But that aside, I want to bypass that issue all together by having a channel open directly to Olympus. Is there any way to make that happen? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin This is a great take. I've had fun learning and building my node(s), but there is definitely a level of crazy needed lol npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Why is robosats an issue for us the the US? I use it regularly without issue and the premiums are actually fairly competitive relative to other non-kyc options. But I believe you can also purchase on Strike and Kraken via LN as well if you need to add outbound liquidity. I may very well be missing something that you're seeing, though. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Would watch for sure. I've dabbled in mixers a small amount but haven't used them regularly because of the fees. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin This shit hits hard. Too real. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin It's unbelievable to me that people actually get behind that absolute joke of a shitcoin. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin My favorite episode so far. I hadn't heard of Paul before but have since started listening to his content and have been moving toward an animal based diet. Plus started buying meat, organs, and dairy my from local farms. The crazy thing is that most of my life I have avoided real dairy because I thought I was lactose intolerant. Those problems started when I was a young teenager and I'm 35 now. But I thought, "why not give the raw stuff a shot? Maybe I'll have a rough day, but at least I'll know I tried." Dude... Zero stomach issues. Changed my life. Thank you. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Running away to Costa Rica forever sounds pretty nice right now. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I use Start9 for my Bitcoin needs and Umbrel for my other home server needs including the Nostr relay. I have them running on separate always on machines, though. I accidentally gained a collection of mini PCs because I like experimenting with stuff 😅 I'm also running a self-compiled node to compare reliability and ease of use. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin GM! I am trying to open a 2.1m sat private channel to Olympus to make sure my zaps make it to my personal node. For some reason I have one sitting that can't find a route even though I'm connected to some solid nodes. But I'm getting a rejection. Is there a minimum channel size or some other restriction preventing it? npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Thank you for this! I used ChatGPT to paraphrase and submitted a comment as well. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin 100% down when I can take a fiat mining break. Still stuck in the hampster wheel for a while longer. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I love everything you just said, lol. My wife and I have had serious conversations about taking the steps to get out from under it. I've traveled quite a bit and the mentality that "we have it better than anyone else" is utter nonsense. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin I'll dig into the IRC Section to be sure, but my understanding is that the $600 rule targets businesses. Not the general public sending money to each other. As for the $10k with banks, its pretty easy to stay below that number. I'm not talking about tax evasion, so if I convert $10k+ to fiat for some reason, I'm not concerned with reporting the income. But my holdings until that point are my business. npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin Do you ever run into issues with pihole breaking sites? I've been hesitant because there are times when I have to turn off my ad blocker to access something (for school or something unavoidable). npub12ddgadsx8662zp5fp8f9qyn8rh2uxlgllqzkzwztwhyjtl2dglhq9rr2ut Devin The bank knows you sent someone money. But they don't know why. Either way, Zelle sucks.
