Nix is so cool… have you tried microVMs? They can be compared to Docker containers, except they’re safer and easier to manage. This is not to mention that all those config files totally are reusable. Once you configure a Bitcoin node with NixOS, you can reproduce that on another computer just by reusing code. Reminds me a lot of programming language libraries. Oh, and setting up baremetal computers is done with the same exact concept. That means any config can be reused anywhere, in a virtualized environment or not. Take a look at https://astro.github.io/microvm.nix/

Is your bitcoin core node using hardware or software hasing? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/122440/bitcoin-core-vm-and-hardware-sha256

All my LND node’s channels have been closed 4 months ago. I am now in the process of creating a new one with Core Lightning. Is it possible to reuse the same identity? If so, how?

gm… if you’re a bitcoiner interested in nix, I want to reach out. we need to regroup and work together. all of us.

@jb55 have you ever had conversations in Nix circles revolving around nixpkgs and bitcoin?

@wiz Yo dawg… Someone brought to my attention that Mempool seems to have forked Blockstream’s fork of Romanz’s electrs… The README.md seems pretty similar to Blockstream’s aside from the fact that its sync requirements are a bit more up to date. I would like to know what else have been changed…

Trying to package Blockstream’s esplora into Nix’s package manager. Made me figure out that this app doesn’t have a version number. This is despite the fact that the app it’s a fork of has one. Not a good thing for Nix, as it requires immutability. Will have to resort to a commit hash, I guess. Still wondering which version number Nix will end up displaying to its users… how will they know how up to date they are? Not convinced a hash would do it.

Both BTCCAD and BTCUSD will happen roughly in 15k of their respective fiat currency. Thus, BTCCAD will happen sooner. Thanks for attending to my speech.

Are you, like me, handling a shit load of git projects on the same computer? Here is a small CLI rust app that can list them all and do somme fuzzy searching. I am also using it to cd direct into project folders with fuzzy finding in one command.

Seems pretty well suited for bitcoin or nostr CLI apps…

Hi @nostrdevkit Where is the nostr rust community where I can discuss about NDK, the Nostr Development Kit? Is there a telegram group or something? Can’t find any on the website…

Need help with rust-bitcoin. New to the language itself. It might be very well documented, but I am struggling with basic stuff. Would appreciate to have someone answering some basic questions I might have, so I can get going and build FOSS stuff on top of it. Thanks fam!

Where do rust nostr devs hang out these days? Taking a look at the nostr crate after spending weeks learning rust basics. Also done with half of 2023’s Advent of Code. Feeling the urge to create or contribute to something useful…

@PABLOF7z I am trying to use highlighter while actively learning the Rust programing language… Where is the highlighting feature in the website? I am looking at the "Highlighter" tab, and all I can see is current highlights… Also, is there a manual somewhere explaining how to use that app?

Is it possible to use a ColdCard MK3 with Nunchuk wallet? NFC clearly isn’t an option here…
