Paddle boarding at 11 mile reservoir during the @The Space camp out. Beautiful scenery and an amazing time getting to know some Denver Bitcoiners better. Get excited for The Space!

I feel like I am a crazy person over here

Currently negotiating with a plumber and electrician concurrently. They’ve been here over an hour and they keep going out to the car to “call the boss” for like 20 minute at a time. This fucking electrical engineering degree is worthless I should’ve been a plumber

I’ve sort of gotten out of the habit of posting on #nostr. I am sorry! #corgi #dogstr

Making some good progress on IoT mushroom growroom controller.

@Henry @mleku Full cacti compilation. The light in the tent is not sufficient so it is growing weird. "etiolation" The one in my kitchen is getting so tall #cacti #cactus #grownostr

My cacti is looking cute today. They're getting so big

Added (public) IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to my Lightning Node! Connect to me if you are looking for a new channel partner! The public ip address is NOT the ip address of the machine that the node is running on, it is going through a VPN tunnel before reaching the node. This is the first time where I didn't have a bad time with IPv6! First time I actually attempted to use it, and not get around it 😉 #bitcoin #lightning #devops #nodeops

Made it back home from my trip to Korea

I really feel for the people who got laid off from #swan. I was laid off from Voltage about 9 months ago, with a small group of others, in an already small company. I tried desperately to get another software job at a #bitcoin business, but it is a numbers game stacked against you, particularly because they are remote roles, hundreds of talented people applying for these dream roles. I don't doubt most of them are in it for the bitcoin mission. Of my small group of fellow co-workers laid off, besides me, all of them stuck through it and found bitcoin jobs. And it is sad that most/all of them have been laid off a second time from bitcoin companies, some from swan, some others. Now probably the biggest bitcoin/#notcrypto company which was appetizing to idealogical bitcoiners has also done layoffs. They laid off some of the best. Better than me I'd guess 😉 The market for getting a bitcoin job is now even more difficult. On the other hand, my path was different. I decided to create my own bitcoin adjacent bitcoin company, LightningSpore, because I had the flexibility, and desire to see if I could make it work. The one benefit I see to this layoff is I hope it seeds the waters with quality talent for many new small businesses to grow. I also hope that some people just go get normie jobs, and have an opportunity to continue stacking sats. A bitcoin job isn't always what it is cracked up to be, sometimes just doing bitcoin for fun is far more meaningful. It is hard to make bitcoin business profitable, and along the way, it often causes you to lose sight of what we are really here for. Let me know what you think, if you just want to chat about life post-layoff, or whatever. I am hear for you all! Just keep building! @jack @npub15879...kv0n @corndalorian @npub18p63...0k8k @jack mallers

The channel has opened successfully but the peering is broken. Our channel stays alive for like 3 minutes and then we disconnect #asknostr View quoted note →

Just tried to open a channel with C=. Wonky stuff happened in channel opening flow, they keep disconnecting, but the channel was still funded and broadcasted. However the channel is STATIC_REMOTE_KEY, which sucks. It is 2024, anchor channels have been around for a long time at this point. Future channels: `lncli openchannel --channel_type anchors` LND might force close more often (at least that was the vibe) but at least anchor channels dont make the process unbearable in high/variable fee environments.

I just had Claude 3.5 make KiCAD footprints for me. I think this is really cool! Just on the free tier as well, if I decide to upgrade, I am pretty sure this thing can design whole PCBs for me. #electronics #ai @npub17tyk...3mgl @npub166lf...5utk

Successfully onboarded a second remote worker to accept #bitcoin for services. This shit just #works The top header on my website has been improved. (Some bugs still there but lmk what you think)

SMS 2FA has been such a hassle while outside of the US. I have a growing handful of services which I am locked out of because I am unable to access my text messages. I’ve started to use Google Voice for these where possible but that doesn’t work everywhere. It’s always the more important sites, which touch financial information, which require it as well. I can get MFA on my beanie babies account but nooo you gotta use an insecure phone number to log in at Discover.

This artwork is hanging on the wall of my mother-in-laws house and I always think “the mempool is low better make a txn quick!” @npub18d4r...6lt3

Thanks @npub1avyh...fjzg you are a good friend and I appreciate you View quoted note →

A lot of people here might not support this video, because it details how to sell #bitcoin for #fiat, but for many people around the world, it is a necessity. If you are trying to slowly orange pill your remote workers, and are sick of paying obnoxious fees on fiverr, share with them this video! @gladstein @npub1avyh...fjzg @The Space
