Running Bitcoin Core.

Are Samourai Dojo nodes still configured to drop Bitcoin Knots peers? #asknostr

Suddenly needed to unfollow @OP_RETURN Bot again. Thank you for the service regardless.

Does anyone use some LLM powered tool to help the review of github pull requests? Could be useful running locally (with a remote API), but if good enough could even comment straight into the PR discussion too. #asknostr

Anyone with a phone running Android 15 and sufficient data available will have a Linux terminal at their fingertips. What are you thinking? A dev environment? Hosting websites? Easy onion services? Sparrow-server? @craigraw A pruned bitcoin node? #RaspiBlitz Just need a few weeks free to play around 😅 (also it crashes on GrapheneOS so far, but a fix is underway)

X is down, probably nothing

incredibly useful for #privacy. It is basically a Nostr level VPN which helps not expose my IP address to any other servers except my own and it just works on clearnet. Quote: nostrclient is an always-on extension that can open multiple connections to nostr relays and act as a multiplexer for other clients: You open a single websocket to nostrclient which then sends the data to multiple relays. The responses from these relays are then sent back to the client. Are there any alternatives which are more efficient? Building the best social media stack here, help a brother out! In return when works for me I will make it work for you on #Raspiblitz. View quoted note →

To broadcast a raw transaction over Tor anonymously you have the command 'torthistx' available in all of your #Raspiblitz terminals. To use it simply copy a raw transaction from Sparrow Wallet for example and paste it to the terminal after: torthistx It will return the TXID. #torthistx

Hold off updating Bitcoin Core to v27.0 if you have LND connected. Will be fixed in the upcoming LND v0.17.5 soon. Source:
