Last Notes npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas https://m.primal.net/IzDA.webp Took less than 46hrs this time on a pretty old laptop (>10years) AMD A8-4500M, 16GB npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Thanks, but luckily it's just an #umbrel testing-node I just recently installed and it has zero funds on it, so no biggie if it doesn't work/takes ages. My main node is still up and running (on #start9). npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Need to reindex due to corrupt chainstate/db https://m.primal.net/IyfX.webp I won't ever win this waiting game, will I? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Yes and yes. Sending sats to themselves is basically what people do when they "rebalance" channels (and not loop/swap out/in sats from off- to on-chain, or Liquid). Opening a channel to your 2nd node does only connect your 2 nodes, if none of them has any other channels, you're in the same position as before. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I knew I need some more, but I'm working on it. How many nodes do I need tho? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Wouldn't it be possible to use nostr itself as a DNS alternative? Like, create an identity as "static name" and link your public IP to it's profile, done! Or something like that, idk shit about DNS, most of the time I've no idea what I'm doing. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Well, if you run your BTC-node in testnet an LN-node connected to it will do the same, so I guess devs test stuff there too.? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas And why not run relay and nodes on the same machine? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas If it's worth it depends a lot on what you want to achieve. Wanna be your own bank, independent, in control? Yes, it's totally worth it. Wanna earn sats thru fees? Maybe, if you're up for the task and know what you're doing. My node's been running ~10months now and I'm still deep in the red, mostly due to some quite expensive forced closures, but even without those I would still be in the red and I'm ok with it. I charge very little to even zero fees, so I'm probably a bad example when it comes to earnings. For how to start after reading: probably by choosing some hardware you can spare/afford and/or looking into personal preferences and available options. Like, wanna do everything yourself from baremetal, just buy some pre-build box, or something in between by installing pre-packaged solutions like umbrel, or start9? Stuff to think about before you even start. And then just do whatever you decided. It's no rocket-science (although it feels like it sometimes). npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Thanks, I'll look into that later, running LND though, can't make much of a difference, right? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas I'd like that (and contribute to a bounty) too. Zeus connected to Start9 using Lightning Node Connect works ok-ish, but is still kinda slow and crashes a lot. I've no idea how to install Tailscale on start9 to even try if it would work any better, so some easy solution like direct integration in apps and a Start9 package (at least while there's no clearnet-support) would be much appreciated. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Well, keeping the whole thing afloat is one, earning fees another, although you need a really well connected node to get anywhere near profits. The most important (at least for me) is: Not your keys, not your coins. If you don't run your own node, you're back to trusting a third party again. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas For sats to flow thru lightning you need channels. To receive sats you need channels with inbound liquidity, to send sats you need outbound liquidity. Let's say you fire up a node. If you want to receive sats, someone else needs to open up a channel to you so you get inbound liquidity. If you want to send sats (and haven't received any before), you need to open up a channel to some other node so you get outbound liquidity. To open/close a channel means to do an on-chain-transaction, so it can be quite costly. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Never say never.

Not because of the 69m, but because satoshi will never give his coins to a custodian and he owns more than 5% (if we guesstimate the ~1.1m patoshi-number). And he's not alone in never given them to someone else. But to answer ur question honestly: I don't give a damn. Seriously, I'm fine now, II'll be fine with 250k, even more so with 69m and why would I care where other people store their coins? I just keep them where they are (in my self-custodial-butt oc). npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NANdY_68PFU #music npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Can't really remember tbh, but I just found a btc-e username+pw in my little blackbook, so I guess that's a "yes". npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Funny, just the other day I did something similar and checked what old mails I could find. Guess I trashed the MtGox account-creation mail, but I found the verification mail. https://image.nostr.build/dfc25995afa94fbf02bdce1a7666c74963ba0666b06d43accdfc6345fc7d86fa.jpg But MtGox wasn't my first BTC-exchange, that was BitMarket.eu about 1 year earlier. https://image.nostr.build/5cb3b439b345266f47619a78f7735a7c09ef5a679559da5453840a001dea7adf.jpg It's been a fun rollercoaster ride so far and it only gets better over time. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas https://image.nostr.build/4e5b309e3f13ee28dcb556041439ff575f72ecd51287e577e85f26f9190f969a.jpg This one seems really slow to me, at this rate it'll need another 3 days to sync. It's not the fastest machine in the world (i3-6006U, 8GB, SATA SSD), but that's what I had and didn't use for anything else. Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it'll move faster, like the observer effect? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas To get an idea of the fees to go from LN to BTC and back you could check some swap-services, like swap.deezy.io or boltz.exchange. If you run your own BTC- and LN-Node it's basically just another on-chain tx to go either in or out of lightning-channels, so all that matters is the current mempool and sats/vB situation. npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Depends a lot on the amount you wanna to buy. Small amount->LN Big amount->on-chain LN It's ok to send amounts as tiny as 1sat via lightning, the bigger the amount the worse LN works, at least in my experience. I've never had a problem sending 1, 21, 420, 210k, 1m sats, sending a couple of million though I often had to try a few times til it worked. But that's expected, on every hop there needs to be enough channel liquidity to route the payment through. on-chain It's ok to pay a $5 fee for a $5000 on-chain tx, 0.1% is not that bad, but if you just want to send/receive $5, that would be a 100% fee you probably don't want to pay. It also depends on what you wanna do with it, like, do you wanna use it to zap nostriches, or buy/pay for stuff? Or does it go straight to cold storage for the next decade? npub1gmhctt2hmjqz8ay2x8h5f8fl3h4fpfcezwqneal3usu3u65qca4s8094ea lassdas Tick Tock ... https://nostrcheck.me/media/46ef85ad57dc8023f48a31ef449d3f8dea90a71913813cf7f1e4391e6a80c76b/b9004b1b39d20bfadddc85322523b1e2f4dfac24e88ff41bee87a5fdb693c2db.webp ..next Node.
