Are you the same Hanshan from Matrix/Telegram? If so, hi!

Monero will trend towards zero versus bitcoin.
Lightning is not private and will not scale self-custody bitcoin.
Make sure to avoid purchasing Bitcoin with KYC #DontRiskItBisqIt

Jayboi is a Bisq user and was promoting Bisq from a Nostr account he made, prior to Bisq comms team setting up their own account on Nostr.

I would recover that old seed on Sparrow and get any Sats out of it.
Bisq v1 uses Bitcoin Core directly and as such with all the chain bloat of late will have issues scanning back a long way through the chain.
I would create a new Wallet, if using v1 again. More important than the wallet, you should make sure to re-use/recover your payment accounts, that way you will have your account age visible, which is an important anti-spam metric Bisq users look to when selecting offers to trade against.

You already get bolt12 from PhoenixD but I don't think adoption is such that you can use that effectively on your Nostr.

What is the Non-custodial way to get a working 24/7 available LNUrl? I'm investigating PhoenixD+LNUrl Server at present but interested in other options too.

If you try 2 on me in Bisq, I will chain analysis your deposit TX and cancel the trade, potentially taking your deposit if the moderaters agree with me that we don't want dirty tainted KYC sats on Bisq.
In practice, I do not see much of people selling KYC sats on P2P platforms. Owners of KYC sats should understand that selling on KYC-free creates a tax liability, unless they want to undermine the KYC-free platform by declaring all the details to the IRS.

Thanks. Do you have a link to the LNUrl server you used and any guides that might have helped you?

2024-09-01 01:27:16

Is it possible to use PhoenixD as a self-hosted LNUrl for your Nostr account for receiving Zaps 24/7? How did you get an LNUrl address for your PhoenixD instance as distinct from the bolt12 address?

2024-08-31 15:55:28

I setup https://apemithrandir.com/.well-known/nostr.json and put apemithrandir@apemithrandir.com in my NIP-05 profile field. Is that all that is required for NIP-05 to work?
