Sparrow Wallet revealing the cold storage balances like

Buying 500,000 sats of private channel liquidity just to trade 21 sat zappies with your new internet anon frens

There are many like it, but this one is mine. Was a little afraid to, but swapped in an ascii bitcoin logo for the lightning bolt in the `00infoBlitz.sh` file on my Raspiblitz. Fun 😸

Woah, it worked

Raspiblitz hovering in the high 60C range.... bad thing or okay thing? She flirted with 71C once or twice, considering getting some extra air flow.

I used lightning like, three times ever since July. That is... until I stood up my node and jumped on Nostr. Sats are flowing all day and night now suddenly. If you're reading this and are still on the fence on running a node? What are you waiting for?!

GM Nostr, happy monday 😑 #gmnostr #catstr

Date: so what are you in to? Me: Vehemently orange-pilled, freshly having discovered Nostr, a new noderunner, and just opened my first lightning channels.

@Stacker News @Plebeian Market @Amboss @zap.stream In two days I've discovered so many new ways to explore bitcoin through Nostr. It is actually wild how much there is out there once I had the right pieces in place to interact with this ecosystem.

From the second I got my node working a few days ago, I went from a defensive posture - seeking to protect my privacy - to now suddenly on offense pursuing to bolster my self-sovereignty within bitcoin. The node was a fundamental unlock 🔓

In my pursuit to be my own bank on layer 1 I accidentally gifted the same thing to myself on layer 2 as well with my node. Puzzled by why I never cared about the lightning part from the get-go, albeit grateful to be empowered.

Private #noderunners, redundancy in LSP channels: dumb or smart? Amount of receiving capacity seems totally overkill from even just one fat my current level, but should there be at least two to mitigate downed channel risk? (sorry I'm a complete plebn00b)

Dude how deep does this rabbit hole go, every time I reach a personal milestone in #bitcoin it just shines a light on the next superstructure. I continue to marvel at the variety of it all. Bitcoin is such a smattering of new/old, tactile/intellectual concepts. Stamping seeds, perusing githubs, it's a trip engaging with it in the real and digital realms. It's wholly new, and yet I find pockets of knowledge/people that feel timeless and precious. What I'm saying is we're having fun out here gang WE. ARE. HAVING. FUN!

GM NOSTR #gm #catstr

The whiplash from the joy of reaching #noderunner status to realizing how much I have to learn if I want to pursue public channels and be one of the good ones.

A stranger on the internet called me #noderunner today and I think I don't need therapy anymore

Me anxiously broadcasting my first on-chain #bitcoin transaction through my node... and realizing I had accidentally unlocked Nostr/Lightning synergy in the process

Absolute banger for the #catstr crowd

#asknostr I just restarted my node, while that process is happening what...uhh... what happens to my lightning channels? I clearly can't get a zap but, like, do my channels get eliminated and the lightning balance shot back to on-chain? Just new to it all.

The excitement of finally 'unlocking' Nostr for myself is the frustration that I will successfully convince zero IRL friends to do the same. This is an artist's colony at the current time.
