On you can find...
- a full Bitcoin node (top 10 according to bitnodes.io)
- a Nostr relay
- Tor relays (guard, over 2 GBit/sec)
- 28 TByte worth of open source software (with rsync access)
All of that is served via IPv4 & IPv6, up to 20 GBit/sec, with lots of fast storage. Enjoy!

Shortly after I made a Tor relay (up to 20 GBit/sec!), rsync access to openEuler's main server in China stopped working. It's still accessible from other hosts, though. I blame politics.

I wrote down my thoughts/rules on how I'll set inbound fee rates on my #LightningNetwork node c-otto.de once I start using lnd v0.18:

Even though I don't run lnd v0.18 on c-otto.de, yet, I already tweaked my scripts so that they are ready to set negative inbound fees once the feat...
Which Web UI for #nostr are you using? For me, iris.to and snort.social (the same?) don't work reliably. They start with an empty "For you" list, old notifications re-appear as new, sometimes the whole page doesn't load (applies to both).
Please help me understand the lightning network. It seems running a node for 6 years isn't enough to understand what's going on.

As outlined in https://stacker.news/items/527919/r/C_Otto, I started a test node using lnd v0.18.0-beta.rc1 so that I can play around with negative...

If you run lnd, don't upgrade to Bitcoin Core 27, yet.

October 2013. Instead of completing my PhD thesis, I fooled around on the Internet and found a #bitcoin faucet. I guess I had to solve a few captchas or so, and in the end I was rewarded with 0.02 US$ worth of Bitcoin, 15,000 sats after deducting the on-chain transaction fees.
March 2024. I can now buy myself a coffee with that. Using Bitcoin. Life's crazy.
Hi @Edward Snowden, do you run your own lightning node? If so, how do you pick your peers for (I assume) mostly personal, low-volume transactions? Thanks!
