In the coming days, I'll publish a series of posts I intended for another website (a project I gave up on).
While they're not about Bitcoin, they're about online freedom, so relevant enough these days.
The first one is about unblocking websites. It lists the different methods I've been using to reach the content I want from anywhere.
Check it out: https://lazbit.com/how-to-unblock-websites/

Just refreshed the content on https://lazbit.com/ - was long overdue with some platforms not available anymore.
Hope this brings some value to you.

Yeah, I tend to agree.
But when people ask, I'd rather simply give the facts, tell them my experience, and let them make their own decision.

A reader got in touch because he wasn't sure if he should send his #Bitcoin to a platform, to earn interests.
My answer's always the same:
It's always risky to send Bitcoin to an online platform. Because then it's NOT YOURS anymore - not your keys, not your coins.
You just have an IOU. And you have to TRUST the platform they'll send your coins back to you when you ask for a withdrawal.
That's why:
If you don't want to lose anything, keep your #Bitcoin in your wallet.
#Bitcoin in your wallet is always WORTH MORE than Bitcoin on any platform.
If you REALLY want to earn interests, you need to find a reliable platform - but you can never know if it will stay reliable in the future.
So, only keep there the coins you're willing to LOSE.
The platform in question was freebitco .in. Because of "don't trust, verify," I requested a withdrawal. And, within a few hours, I received my coins - and I felt relieved, TBH.

I've been using it for 7 years, withdrawing regularly, with no issues.
I even bought their premium membership.

I was inspired by @npub13lk…lpsy for this new article! And I used a lot of his arguments.
It's packed with data, but the topics need it.
I hope you'll enjoy it: https://lazbit.com/is-bitcoin-bad-for-the-environment/

New guide! Right on time before next Bitcoin's halving 😎
Check it out: https://lazbit.com/what-is-bitcoin-halving/
This one was painful to write... It took me half as much time as usual to create. I really prefer more technical topics, where I get the straightforward approach.
Anyway, hope it helps.

These will help me increase my mining power 😎
Of course, it's allocated to mining #bitcoin 100%

Having been in #bitcoin for a while, sometimes you just read words you think you know, even without reading about them.
Nodes was one of them for me, so I studied it this morning, and I share what I found with you here: https://lazbit.com/what-is-a-bitcoin-node/
Hope it helps!

I'm using Version 3.6.0 on Chrome.

Sure, happy to share that kind of event.
I've been using multiple profiles for a while. But here's what was wrong in the extension:
https://m.primal.net/HaEI.png
At the time, this was not the LN address assigned to the account I was currently using. But it was the LN address of one of my other accounts in the extension.
But this other account displayed its own LN address when I selected it, as it's supposed to.
I'm not sure how the mix-up happened. But it must have been during the setup.
I wonder if it's because I was connected to the web version with a different account at one point. And some cache kept the data of 1 account while I was using another one.

Yes, I think it could help, especially when the user isn't paying attention - or doesn't really know the difference between public/private keys.
Thanks for the sweet sats 💜 🧡

I almost lost my Nostr private key today 😨
Short #nostr story:
I had an issue with Alby. The LN address and amount displayed in the extension weren't mine (not the ones for the account I'm using to post here). So, I removed both accounts from Alby - because removing only 1 didn't help.
When I re-added my account to Alby, there was a different master key - basically, I had to set it up again when connecting to Primal. Of course, I knew something was wrong. I went to Primal: Fresh account.
So, I removed the master key, and imported the old one I had saved. I went to Primal: Fresh account. Again.
I tried to remember how I had logged in to Nostr the first time... And I found a key pair. But I proceeded to use my public key in Alby, instead of my private key. 🤦‍♂️ Of course, when I went to Primal: Fresh account. Again.
I thought my account was gone forever, and went for lunch.
With my belly full, I tried again, and I used the private key i Alby this time. And, oh magic: I have my account back!
I believe I'm quite tech-savvy, but I was quite at a loss today. And it doesn't feel good losing your private keys - even if I didn't. I can't imagine losing my #bitcoin private keys... So, I need to be ultra careful and cautious - consequences are irreversible with decentralized protocols.
