should be *I've tried them* of course

Sure, if tried them, but #peerswap is a way to rebalance existing channels using the liquid-network,
lightningnetwork.plus/amboss are ways to create new channels (or find partners to do so).
That's 2 completely different things that are hard to compare.

The liquidity doesn't disappear if you swap it, it just moves from local/outbound to remote/inbound.
Like, you open a 1m sats channel and have 1m sats to spend and 0 sats to receive,
you swap those 1m sats to pay off your loan and then have 1m sats to receive and 0 to spend.
Doable, but just buying a channel with inbound liquidity might probably be cheaper than tx-fees + ln-fees + swap-fees + loan-fees.

idk, would probably work, but is not really a solution (at least for me). They need lots of cash to do what they do and donating relevant amounts in 1k-chunks is .... semi-optimal.
Guess I don't have much of a choice, either that, or not donating at all.

2024-08-07 11:50:02

When they started accepting btc-donations, they just had a bitcoin-address shown on their website,
but then <someone> decided to donate an amount that prolly was too big for them to handle. They got scared, removed the address the next day and came back a couple of months later with coinbase and BitPay as payment providers.
I wish they would do it on their own again, but I guess they won't.

Crazy shit, isn't it?
Just yesterday I wanted to donate some corn to one of my goto donation-recipients and noticed that BitPay (the PSP they use) already implemented this bullshit.
Can't donate more than €1000 without KYC.

I don't know anything about minibits/ecash so I'll leave that to others,
but while looking for ways to manage channel liquidity I realized that (in my case at least) going from lightning->on-chain is more expensive than going from lighnting->liquid->on-chain.
The liquid-step also allows me to collect some smaller amounts and later swap those into a single on-chain UTXO
My guess: there is no "best"

That's awesome!
Maybe you can move around the player-buttons/qr-code a little, so they don't interfere with eachother when not on fullscreen.
I can't even create a playlist though while logged in with alby browser-extension, guess I have to "create an account" huh?
"nostr fixes this" they said.

2024-07-30 10:29:42

- reply

Depends on what you wanna do with it, I guess.
For a "pruned" node 10GB might do,
for the full blockchain with UTXO set, txindex and stuff it's more like ~750 right now, so I'd recommend a minimum of 1TB, better make it 2.

2024-06-29 22:38:55

Any #noderunner using #peerswap to manage channel-liquidity? Worth looking into it, or am I wasting my time waiting for the Elements Core IBD?
Right now I'm using Aqua wallet (to avoid lots of small on-chain UTXOs), but the fees add up quickly and while I'm setting up a new node anyway, I thought maybe p2p-swaps would be a better option.
What do you think?

Yes, I was surprised myself about how fast it went thru.
Currently reindexing another node which is only at 10% after ~14hrs, seems that it'll take longer than this IBD.

Thanks,
but luckily it's just an #umbrel testing-node I just recently installed and it has zero funds on it, so no biggie if it doesn't work/takes ages.
My main node is still up and running (on #start9).

Is that why you're hodling?

2024-06-25 20:42:14

- reply

And yes, you are cheaper then other LSPs, at least for the "smaller" channels, comparing 10m-channel prices there's others cheaper than you and only because your 10m channels are twice the price of 5x2m channels. I said it gets worse, the bigger the channel is.

2024-06-25 18:52:48

- reply

Yes and yes.
Sending sats to themselves is basically what people do when they "rebalance" channels (and not loop/swap out/in sats from off- to on-chain, or Liquid).
Opening a channel to your 2nd node does only connect your 2 nodes, if none of them has any other channels, you're in the same position as before.

2024-06-25 18:12:35

- reply

It makes sense especially if you want to receive. To receive you need inbound liquidity on the channel, if you open a (unbalanced) channel yourself you have outbound liquidity and can't receive anything before you sent something out first.

2024-06-25 18:00:24

- reply

So, on one hand you say "the bigger the better", on the other hand buying your channels is more expensive, the bigger they get. Like, for 3months 2x2m channels are 10k sats, but 1x4m channel is 15k, 50%+ and it gets worse the bigger the channel is.
I'm not complaining, the prices still look good, I was just wondering why that is, because in my experience it is cheaper to open just one channel, even if you batch-open the 2 and the needed funds are the same in both cases.
What am I missing?

Wouldn't it be possible to use nostr itself as a DNS alternative?
Like, create an identity as "static name" and link your public IP to it's profile, done!
Or something like that, idk shit about DNS, most of the time I've no idea what I'm doing.

2024-06-23 11:53:53

Well, if you run your BTC-node in testnet an LN-node connected to it will do the same, so I guess devs test stuff there too.?

2024-06-23 11:45:23

And why not run relay and nodes on the same machine?

2024-06-23 02:24:09

- reply

If it's worth it depends a lot on what you want to achieve.
Wanna be your own bank, independent, in control? Yes, it's totally worth it.
Wanna earn sats thru fees? Maybe, if you're up for the task and know what you're doing.
My node's been running ~10months now and I'm still deep in the red, mostly due to some quite expensive forced closures, but even without those I would still be in the red and I'm ok with it. I charge very little to even zero fees, so I'm probably a bad example when it comes to earnings.
For how to start after reading:
probably by choosing some hardware you can spare/afford and/or looking into personal preferences and available options.
Like, wanna do everything yourself from baremetal, just buy some pre-build box, or something in between by installing pre-packaged solutions like umbrel, or start9?
Stuff to think about before you even start.
And then just do whatever you decided.
It's no rocket-science (although it feels like it sometimes).

2024-06-22 22:17:09

Thanks, I'll look into that later,
running LND though, can't make much of a difference, right?

2024-06-22 22:01:53

- reply

I'd like that (and contribute to a bounty) too.
Zeus connected to Start9 using Lightning Node Connect works ok-ish, but is still kinda slow and crashes a lot.
I've no idea how to install Tailscale on start9 to even try if it would work any better,
so some easy solution like direct integration in apps and a Start9 package (at least while there's no clearnet-support) would be much appreciated.

2024-06-22 16:41:00

Well, keeping the whole thing afloat is one,
earning fees another, although you need a really well connected node to get anywhere near profits.
The most important (at least for me) is: Not your keys, not your coins.
If you don't run your own node, you're back to trusting a third party again.

2024-06-22 02:21:13

- reply

For sats to flow thru lightning you need channels.
To receive sats you need channels with inbound liquidity,
to send sats you need outbound liquidity.
Let's say you fire up a node.
If you want to receive sats, someone else needs to open up a channel to you so you get inbound liquidity.
If you want to send sats (and haven't received any before), you need to open up a channel to some other node so you get outbound liquidity.
To open/close a channel means to do an on-chain-transaction, so it can be quite costly.

Funny, just the other day I did something similar and checked what old mails I could find.
Guess I trashed the MtGox account-creation mail, but I found the verification mail.

This one seems really slow to me, at this rate it'll need another 3 days to sync.
It's not the fastest machine in the world (i3-6006U, 8GB, SATA SSD), but that's what I had and didn't use for anything else.
Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it'll move faster, like the observer effect?

Probably not that many, but you can at least try.
Shouldn't do any other dumb shit while trying though, like, damaging property, taking hostages, or hurting/killing guards,
