Hopefully y'all took advantage of the 10 sat/vbyte mempool fees last night! That opportunity is now gone, once again. "Oh, I already have a mobile Lightning wallet." you say? OK, but where's your Lightning desktop wallet? Are you really going to pay all your monthly bills from your phone? Of course, if you have a Windows PC then hell no, don't get a Lightning desktop wallet! It was also a good opportunity for L-BTC swaps. Or UTXO consolidation. But the thing is, you gotta know what you need to do before hand and be ready, so that when the fees are favorable you can just jump in and do it. I don't even know why I'm typing this LOLz! Perhaps I'm in an unusually chatty mood. Imagine the craziness that would come out of my keyboard if I was an alchoholic :) OK, I'm done for today.

Eeek! It looks like a new Lightning node operator is trying to pass watermelons through a straw. If it were a private LN routing node (ex. for friends, family, small community, etc) I'd probably be OK. But... oh boy! View quoted note →

I added GPG verification to the Blockstream Green Nix package:

If it builds, then it's verified :) #nixos

While hunting for fruit in "Shadow of the Colossus," something happened to Agro... I guess she stepped on an invisible treadmil :)

I also added build-time GPG verification using npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 public key. :) I really like the idea that if it builds, then it's also verified. Damn, Nix is awesome! It's also possible to get the update now, by getting it from my repo: $ nix run github:emmanuelrosa/erosanix#sparrow BUT, the Nixpkgs in my repo doesn't have HWI 3.0; HWI was updated to 3.0 in Nixpkgs about 4 days ago. Sparrow should still work fine with HWI 2.4, as long as you're not trying to use an emulated hardware wallet. See
