wonder what most US citizens would do if the federal government overstepped and tried to use overburdensome regulation to restrict access to bitcoin 🤔 image

🚨Lightning Node Operators I'd love to interview about your experiences managing a node through UX. Bonus points if you're using We want to continue to improve Terminal to meet node operator needs and user interviews are an awesome way to help guide us in the right direction. Comment or DM if interested. 🙏🏼⚡️

building things of value at scale can be really hard sometimes. during those times, it's important to have a mission to anchor on. Separating the money from the state via Bitcoin is most noble mission of our lives 🧡🫡

Zaps from me are all non-custodial. When on Snort, it’s directly hooked up to my node via LNC. Or, on Damus, it’s through Zeus which is connected to my node via LNC. Self sovereign zaps just mean more ⚡️🧡

More people using Bitcoin is good. People should strive to use Bitcoin non-custodially. Not mutually exclusive statements.

👏 #[0]​ for being first to bring LNC functionality into a Nostr client, think that’s a game changer for non-custodial usage 🙏🏼

Schrödinger’s relays… Sometimes on Damus, the notes don’t load and I see 2/13 in the upper right corner indicating active relays. But, when I click through to the relay page, most of them appear online and then I jump to 10/13 or something. Rinse, repeat.

Twitter was planning to add Lightning integration per tweet. Then, #[0]​ left and they didn’t… Along came Nostr + Zaps 👀 permissionless innovation for the win😤

My favorite analogy for Lightning Loop is that it’s a Brinks cash truck for Lightning businesses. A business fills up on Lightning payments and needs the truck to bring those sats to a safer, on-chain layer. As an added benefit, you replenish your inbound in the process.
