Thank you kind sir but I’ll stick to staying humble and stacking sats.

Impressive updates to @primal in Prague. Good job @miljan!

I love @BTCPay Server and have been using it for years. Recently, I sold over 500 BitAxes, and the server didn't even flinch. Now, with the @strike API, it's gotten even better. So, I made a review! Check it out here:

Coming soon. Bitcoin Ticker v1.0 Open source. Print one yourself.

So we have an empty mempool, F2Poool censoring transactions, Foundry getting bigger than ever and Mara cozying up with the president. Feels like we are on the wrong track tbh

"Mom can we have a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?" "No, we have a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve at home." The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve at home:

And you still think miners are freedom maxis? The state capture of bitcoin is happening right before our eyes.

I honestly find zapvertisements rather annoying and intrusive.

Are there any Bitcoin shops/meetups/co-working spaces in Berlin Germany?

Bitcoin Amsterdam was fantastic. Thanks to everyone who came to say hi.

Zapping a few sats on NOSTR or donating to your favorite podcast on Fountain are very cool technical achievements. But those few cents are not enough for the creator to make a living. Maybe it works for the biggest voices on NOSTR, but the rest of us are still dependent on ads and sponsors.

The man outdid himself once again. What a beauty. @NoGood ✌️

Decentralized hashpower. 365 BitAxes coming online in 3…2…1…

Last month we sold 365 BitAxes and made our own mining pool for solo miners. Little did we know that we where the only solo-pool based in Europe, which makes our pool the lowest latency, zero fee mining pool around. We are currently at 50 TH/s of pure pleb mining. Want to try? Go to:

I worry about mining pool centralization. The mining industry has grown to an almost incomprehensible scale, and I don't have a perfect solution for this issue. However, I know for sure that education is essential for any solution. The BitAxe is the perfect device for that purpose. It looks cool, is affordable, and is a 'real' miner. When people plug in their BitAxe, they immediately understand how tiny their share of the network is. That's why I decided to sell the BitAxe to my community. It's not about making a profit (given the volatility, I barely break even), but about giving people the chance to learn about mining. We sold 355 BitAxes in a week. Next, we're setting up our own mining pool. The ultimate goal is to mine a block, but the chances are negligible, even with 355 BitAxes. Anyway, it's a very fun project. I'll keep you posted.

Settled, settled, settled, settled, settled, settled.

Hey @jack mallers is it correct that Strike RBF's my transaction to keep up with changing fees while it's in the mempool? This is a pretty cool feature that ensures my 'fast' withdrawal is actually fast, even if the next block takes a while.

"Look Mom, I built something!" I'm working on a project to sell 100 BitAxes to our podcast community. The goal is to connect each of us to our own @Public-Pool instance. My aim is to keep things simple. I’ve designed a straightforward page where customers can enter their address, specify the quantity they want, and settle the invoice with Bitcoin. No frills, just a smooth user experience. I also wanted to try coding with Cursor AI and Aider, which are agentic coding tools that help you write code. This was also an excellent time to connect the @strike API to my @BTCPay Server.

The outcome is pretty cool. In one evening, I built the webpage, connected it to the BTCPay API to generate an invoice, stored the customer data in the BTCPay database, and added the STRIKE API. I tested it in the video below. You can see that I paid the invoice using @ZEUS connected to my node. The sats appear instantly in my Strike wallet. I can even choose to receive them in fiat if I want to. This is just one of the many possibilities at the moment. With more and more people and companies building on Lightning, the potential for innovation is limitless.

As @jack mallers said, You can’t beat open source.
