Another Friday in the FIAT mines. But #London is looking lovely and sunny today, even if it is freaking cold!

I don't get people consolidating their utxos, not only do you reduce your privacy, but if you really think bitcoin js going to drastically increase in value, isn't it good to have a few smaller utxos? Doesn't effect me either way, I whirlpool and use post mix spending tools anyway, so its a non issue for me.

Dear @QnA, @MaxUM told me to give you this for not showing up to the monthly podcast 🫱💩🫲 Kthxby 😘

Handing a custodian an asset in exchange for #interest only makes sense for inflationary assets. Why the hell would you think you can get interest on #Bitcoin? You really are just asking to be rugged! You are the profit!

Hmm now I have a #proxmox server, maybe I should think about setting up my own #nostr #node or #relay in a VM. Not that I'd have the first clue how to go about it...

New #node #IBD at 360k blocks. It's always exciting watching a node do its thing 😁 #plebstr

Spinning up a new #bitcoin #node on a #proxmox server. IBD/indexing now, so time for a long old wait! First time iv ever set up a proxmox server, and got to grips with using VMs. Learned alot today!

#lightning will properly take off when merchants realise they can save them selves a couple % per transaction by avoiding the usual card processors. It seems all the infrastructure is there, but its not going to be utilised until bitcoin is treated like the cash it was designed to be. I'm not sure how we get around the regulators on this one. I don't really want to be sending merchants sats if they are just going to swop them immediately for fiat, I may as well just use that in that case.

Where do you guys use #lightning other than on #nostr? Iv got a wallet with some sats in and I'd love to see some useful applications of lightning. Iv toyed with the idea of setting up my own #node (already running an l1 node) but can't see the use if I'm not really making payments. Again would like to only use a non custodial wallet but as it stands here is the only place in use it, for the #zaps Help me out #plebstr

Gm #nostr

D'oh! Just had my first #SteamDeck crash! Just after the mutants attack Bigtown in Fallout 3. #gaming

I have the Lord Vessal! Finally I can warp! #DarkSouls1 #gaming

Not been to the #gym in ages due to bad back and super busy life stuff. Doing a full body workout today just to keep everything ticking over.

I made it to Anor Londo! And then I died 😅 #Darksouls1 #gaming
