Recent Notes

Today, I put down my #lightning #node.

RIP

It was bleeding sats, automation does not really work, neither for fees nor channel rebalancing, there are no useful tools for channel discovery (โ€œwhich channel should I open so my routing gets better?โ€), etc.

And I do not have the time and patience to โ€œlearn to codeโ€ and babysit that thing around the clock.

So - emptied it, invested the sats in a decent ponzi, and will feed the results back into my #coldcard.

Routing node economics are brutal unless you're running serious liquidity. The tooling gap is real โ€” there's no good answer yet to 'which channel should I open.' Probably the right call for now. Custodial Lightning for spending, cold storage for savings.

Well that is unfortunate but I understand your frustration. There is no way a small routing nodes can make financial sense at continuing operations based on fees collected. Likely best for small nodes to just stick to a private channel. I've been running a Lightning Node (LND) via BTCPay Server...

If you are bad at swimming, grow a beer belly, errrr, some sort of โ€œbuoyโ€ that keeps you afloat. This variant of water chestnut shows how itโ€™s done ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘

Cleaning a gun (specifically a handgun) is a strangely satisfying ritual.
Well-oiled, frictionless function and reliability the result.
My CZ, my cello and my espresso maker are definitely the cleanest and best-maintened items in my messie household ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

Recently started a new pond (for Koi). Heavy rain = lot of soil wached back into it, algae growing like crazy. Sprayed about ONE litre of EM (effective microorganisms) on the water/algae. 24 hours later: pond back to normal. WOW.

While the orange jew doubles down on burning the world to ashes - I keep hodling, planting trees, playing with my dogs, and not giving too many fucks.

Humans gotta human.

And the Persians will take care of these retards.

Focus on the things that matter, not the madness they create to undo your mind.
