Check out Sentinel Chains, a new sidechain proposal that allows two-way pegging of funds WITHOUT modifying Bitcoin Core. Hint: It uses Nostr as a signaling system for peg-out consensus enforcement. Read and find out how: https://ursus.camp/bitcoin/2023/08/10/sidechains.html P.S. It also has interesting implications for the future of Bitcoin soft forks and how they can be deployed without modifying Core.

Haven’t been on nostr in a couple of weeks. What cool stuff have I missed?

I am finally feeling like it might be fun to run my own Lightning node (just a small one for zaps). What’s the best info on setting one up? My node setup is custom: old laptop repurposed as home server. Any good tutorials that accommodate that? I want to use NWC (for zapplepay) so that probably means LND.

How does plebstr still have Lightning tips on posts? Is it just because Apple hasn’t figured it out yet?

Holy shit plebstr is nice. How are they allowed to do post zapping? Is it just that Apple has not caught on yet?

I finished my first Wheel of Time reread since A Memory of Light came out. I am not ready for it to be over 😭

Man zaps broken as hell on iOS. Damus is being forced to remove them, and webapps/PWAs do not seem to allow you to pick a wallet to use. What’s the best setup for zaps on iOS now?

If you’re using a iPhone PWA, is there a way to set the default Lightning wallet for zaps?

What Nostr PWAs have the best iPhone experience?

Currently, getting a name in Nomen (https://nomenexplorer.com) requires someone to be familiar with some more technical aspects of Bitcoin, using PSBTs and such. I would like to improve the UX. I am interested in building an interface where someone can just send a Lightning payment and I can make the transaction with my own wallet. However I do not know much about Lightning and I am not particularly interested in managing a proper Lightning node with liquidity and such. What are some options I can have for presenting and receiving Lightning invoices, and triggering backend calls?
