Today we launched our new website, featuring live data from the @Amboss API.
You can now see the stats for the entire Nodestrich community at a glance, and it’s really impressive — 273 nodes with 6418 channels and 792 BTC total capacity.
This is all the work of individuals around the world empowering themselves by running nodes, opening channels, and building the peer-to-peer #Nostr circular economy.
If you haven’t joined us yet, you can start right now, even if you have no idea what you’re doing. In fact, that’s even better!
GM Nodestriches! 😎
🚨 If you are running #LND please make sure to upgrade to the latest release 0.18.5.
This includes a critical security fix to prevent a vulnerability to in-flight HTLCs.
We seem to have missed one of our own milestones recently…
As of Nodestrich’s third birthday just a few days ago, we now rank third out of all @Amboss communities!
(It also appears that Amboss has been doing some housekeeping and weeding out dead nodes.)
That’s all Nostriches, building and joining one by one.
Keep going! 🔥
Hard to believe, but #Nodestrich is entering its third year!
We started in January 2023 as an experiment to find all the noderunners and would-be noderunners on #Nostr, and give them a place to learn and connect.
We’re thrilled to have so many on board, and there’s always room for more.
Check out our TG group or @Amboss community page to learn more.
We are just two nodes away from taking 4th place on the @Amboss community list. If you’re a member of @Nodestrich Community ♾️ please login and approve any pending requests you see.
Not a member? We'd love to have you join us!
If this can accomplish the goal of becoming a true Telegram replacement, the Nodestrich group will adopt it. We always wanted our group to be Nostr-only, but the tools to communicate effectively as a group didn’t exist at the time.

Big #Nodestrich news today!
Our community is still going strong. We just passed 395 members, and reached the number 5 rank on @Amboss.
Run a node. Be a better #bitcoin citizen. Join us!
If you’re the #Nodestrich @Amboss group but you aren't using our Telegram channel, you’re welcome to join. It’s optional, but full of signal.
Why don’t we use #Nostr or #SimpleX for this? Great question, we get this frequently. The answer is that this is still the easiest way to handle real-time group chats. Hopefully, native tools will be built that allow us to eliminate centralized services, but for now, it’s still early.
