My partner and I were having the 'what if Bitcoin goes to $X' talk recently and starting wondering what we would do if... Well, it turns out the answer is pretty damn similar to what we are doing now. So why wait? We are not rich by any means, but Bitcoin has given us the freedom to choose what to do with out time more than anything else in my life. We run a small farm and will continue to grow food for our community, but will take more time aside for ourselves as well. No more no more selling our time for fiat.

I’ll keep repeating: the ‘secret’ to onboarding businesses to accept Bitcoin is more bitcoiners *spending* Bitcoin. If people aren’t willing to part with their sats and use them as a MOE for quality goods & services, there is no incentive for businesses to go through the extra work and expense to accept it.

Update re: Nodelou🐈
As many of my peers already know, the node suffered a catastrophic hardware failure and after initial investigation and troubleshooting it looks like I will have to use SCB to close all remaining channels– only two weeks shy of our three-year nodeiversary. 😿
While we were away for a few days, during the night of October 6th at approximately 12:43am EDT we experienced a power loss and then a large power surge of some kind, likely due to a wind event in our immediate location. This somehow led to the loss of *both* NVME system drives ☠️ which were configured in ZFS (RAID1)– Those drives sadly also housed the .lnd data directory for Nodelou🐈.
While I do have a fully working copy of the VM, including all LND data, that backup dates from a few days before the incident, so it would be unwise to come back online with out of date channel states– meaning we will have to close all remaining channels and rebuild the node completely.
Any channels with pending HTLCs have already been automatically force closed, but any other channel peers with Nodelou are welcome to close whenever they wish. I will issue the SCB sometime later tonight or tomorrow, depending on mempool conditions which should close any remaining channels at that time.
Thank you to all my solid channel peers, everyone that reached out during the downtime, everyone that has ever offered help and support over the past three years– So many great people in this community! I apologize for all the FCs (DM if you’d like reimbursement for fees incurred). Nodelou🐈 will rise again (with PostgreSQL and replication!)– But for now I need to focus on family and a number of important IRL commitments and worries that require my attention and mental space.
So long, and thanks for all the cats! 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

2024-09-30 13:35:50

- reply

Definitely! 💯 I think I’d include that in my idea of what #value4value really is. Rather than pirating I can now support directly the people who produce the goods, services, and software that I use in my daily life. This is the 180° turnaround that #v4v and open source enables.

2024-09-30 13:25:34

- reply

GM not sure how you came to that conclusion. 🤔
Just the opposite actually.
I am happy to *finally* have a way to give value directly back to creators, developers, producers on my own terms — without enriching corporations and rent-seeking middle men.
#value4value is an innovation. I can now pay what exactly as much as I can afford and support exactly those people who create value in my own life, without being forced to support others who extract value instead.

2024-09-30 12:49:18

Nice topiaries 🤙

2024-09-30 12:34:26

I am the absolute worst #value4value target audience. I am a ridiculously cheap bastard and really hate to spend money. Like ever. I have never paid for subscriptions, I won’t pay for Netflix, or twitter. No cable TV. Won’t pay for Spotify. I torrent music and films and use pirated software instead of paying.
But I have zapped more sats on @npub1yfg…v6vg & @npub1v5u…n0v5 than I would ever have spent on corporate media. I have zapped the #nostr client devs and Bitcoin devs more than I ever gave to fucking Adobe in 12 years working as a professional photographer. I gladly donate to @npub1xnf…lpr5 more than I’d would ever have let my old fiat bank claw from my grubby fingers in bank fees. I pay for relays, I zap plebs when they make me laugh, or think… or when they post particularly cute cat pictures. I’m willing to pay more for quality wares sold for #bitcoin.

Spending less is a bigger hack than earning more!

2024-09-25 19:39:15

Definitely agree with the sentiment @npub1rcr…cfuz
#Noderunning is not passive income. It's not earning 'yield' on your sats. Most nodes will never be profitable. But that doesn't mean they can't be with some effort and patience. Most important factor overall is stability; That includes running on decent hardware (not raspi) and offering a clearnet connection rather than TOR-only. These two points alone will eliminate a very large percentage of avoidable forced-closures, which is *by far* the #1 biggest cost in maintaining a public routing node.
#Nodelou🐈 is currently a month short of its 3-year nodeiversary, and is earning sats consistently every day. Many others earn multiples of this in far less time and/or with smaller nodes, so this is just an example.
https://image.nostr.build/7aa592ce7cfe7421510da42a88404f373f7401f53660578f0a7c2f4a33d85bab.png
~MORE IMPORTANTLY~
My node is my sole banking/checking account and has allowed me to #optout entirely of fiat banking. It's my privacy layer on top of #Bitcoin. It hosts my own @npub18d4…6lt3 instance and my personal Bitcoin Core verifies my own txs. It also runs my @npub155m…dcvg that powers @npub1swe…ns6h, our farm webstore, and also functions as our in-person POS at farmer's markets connected remotely via @npub1xnf…lpr5. I use it to buy products online, pay bills, and send/receive self-sovereign zaps. I can travel anywhere in the world and access my funds with no intermediaries or restrictions. Even if it cost me to keep it running– the services and utility it provides in my daily life are absolutely indispensable over the costs of using traditional banking services. Not to mention tons of highly-valuable education and skills acquired, and a couple good #norderunner friends along the way! 🤓🤙
I never set out to earn from my node: I just aim to provide a stable connection hub for my peers with high uptime and low-latency, good channel connections, and try to set the lowest fees possible while maintaining flow and channel balance. The rest is just patience. #runanode
