It seems to be closed, it just LND does not recognize the closure. I tried closing again, but it says the channel is not recognized.

2024-10-27 16:07:21

Any advice on how to recover funds stuck in limbo after a force closure has matured and the closing transaction has long since been confirmed on the blockchain? The blockchain shows the tx confirmed, way past the maturity date, and the channels (which closed during Hurricane Milton) remain as "pending."
Also, would anybody mind a text zap of a 5-10 sats to ensure everything looks fine. Thx.

2024-10-26 20:23:33

A few years ago, I had a horrible nightmare, it felt real.
I dreamed I was part of a revolution, a peaceful monetary revolution, the #bitcoin revolution.
In reality, my fellow revolutionaries, the bitcoiners I had been associating with online, were working together to take my money. My weekly DCA was being used to fund their luxurious lifestyles: Yachts, trips abroad, conferences, and so on.
Even Satoshi was in on it.
In the end, there was no revolution, just me, divorced, and learning how to Have Fun Staying Poor.
This is a true story and happened around the time the ecosystem was collapsing around FTX, LUNA, BlockFi, Celsius.
Have any of you ever experienced a dream like this? It was almost like the “I went to school naked” dream. I felt embarrassed, humiliated, alone, and silly.

2024-10-24 10:32:00

MSTR’s model is becoming more difficult to understand (at least for me). I felt the same way about LUNA.

Any thoughts?

2024-10-12 00:07:48

A few thoughts:
I am proud of Florida. It’s good to see everybody working together.
The energy density of fossil fuels is truly unbelievable.
Left untouched, nature is chaos and it takes an enormous amount of work to create order.
Everybody should turn their air conditioners on to prevent global warming.
Power is out. I bet most people close their channels with my node. I hope not. It has been a passion project for quite some time.
With modern tech, we have forgotten “it takes a village.”
We are so “connected,” but disconnected from our family and neighbors.
You cannot power a chainsaw with nuclear.
Gas is key.
Cannot imagine a category 5.
We have been fortunate.
I was born and raised in Florida. I love it here, but hurricane season is getting to be too much as I get older.
I’m worried about Atlas Urology and our patients.
Generator is powering a window unit, it’s cool in the bedroom.
Grandfather got power back after 2 weeks.
Manual labor is important. I have outsourced too much.
Propane should be in your bunker.
We are all Satoshi.

Too bad because liquid is much better than all the other chains which tether exists on.
Liquid is “closer” to Bitcoin and could more easily create new bitcoiners.

Liquid needs to make a move to capture a larger market share of tether. The UX is fine.

I have a multisig set up, run a LN node with 50+ channels, a bitcoin node, but doubt I can figure out how to safely start a mint….
I am not trying to be negative, but the FEDI project has been portrayed as ‘simple’
- a “village leader” could easily set up a multisig, fund the mint, and add members
- the everything app for bitcoin
On the contrary, I suspect hardly any “normal” person has the technical ability to safely run a mint.
I want this project to succeed…but, in my humble opinion, it has been over sold and its currently not delivering.
I will watch BTC sessions guides…I want it to work, but I keep hearing things like “bitcoin is already capable of scaling to 8 billion people with current tech.”
Maybe it will be soon, maybe FEDI helps…I hope so….but that day is not today.
I will keep researching.

Not being able to calculate the network fee on Lightning is a huge UX problem and an absolute pain.
I don’t mind too much, but others will abandon for such simple reasons.
For example, I have 246,404 in my LN wallet on Aqua. I want to w/d this amount to Zeus/Node, but I don’t know how much to create the invoice for.
I don’t want to leave dust in AQUA…those are MY SATS!

Forget the custodial part, I get it. But even if you put that aside, I don’t see the appeal.
It’s not easy for me or a “village leader” to create a trusted community.
The only community I see as available to me is the generic “Bitcoin Principles,”
It closes in 2025 and I have no idea who controls those funds.
Has anybody on nostr created a mint? How did you do it? Did it run on top of your own LN?
Anybody on nostr part of a private mint?
Because, if we, the bitcoiners, aren’t using it, a remote village or the neighborhoods of the world are not going to be using it.

Inflation is seen in many areas of the economy, but one of the obvious is sports contracts.
For Example, Trevor Lawrence just signed a contract worth 275 million over 5 years. This was signed after finishing the season 0-6.
Not so long ago, Joe Flacco signed a contract worth 120 million over 6 years. This was the biggest contract in NFL history.
Now, it’s broken almost every year.
