What is the story behind the use of the term #pleb in the #nostr and #bitcoin community?

Dumb question, is it not possible to have both currencies in one app?

As far as #bitcoin nodes go, is using #Tailscale anymore secure than using #tor ?

Something like Mutiny is great, but the first 100k to open a channel puts the breaks on things real quick.

2024-07-17 12:22:43

Looks like the #bitcoin node is at 94.1% sync on the #umbrel. This last 20% or so syncs very slow.

Well then the explanation of relays and types, then some educated info on how to choose them for yourself, things to look for and reasoning.

I think choosing relays is a good topic, and maybe a list of the 5 most popular public relays.

More visibility, just like many other networks, until a few folks follow you, your just talking to the air... Maybe I can make better use of hashtags though.

2024-07-16 16:02:02

What's a guy have to do to get some #love around here? I know I'm boring, but I would like to go beyond 39 followers.
I guess that is better than the 100+ followers I have on X that all seem to be hot Asian chicks names Jenny

I was pretty bad as a teenager and my very early 20s... I joined the army and fixed my arse... But I find my bad childness a very handy tool in recognizing behaviors in my children and being able to not bullshit them when trying to give guidance. Its actually invaluable experience all those goody-to-shoes can't reference. 😀

2024-07-13 16:27:49

My #bitcoin node is almost done downloading blockchain... Then it's time to setup #lightning .
I see people recommend not to open a channel with less than 1,000,000 SATs...which I can't swing at all. So I am now accepting donations. 🤣😂🤣😂

I've always liked sublime text. Any editor is hard to leave once you get far enough in, it stinks to relearn and configure a new editor.. I'm trying to learn vim now since it's pretty universal.

I tired it out with Vim mode and sort of like it, at the same time I'm attracted to new shiny things...lol
I just didn't turn on all the github stuff. Used it to play with some bash scripts.

In my long line of questions this week, my next is...
Can every one supply the links to blogs and newsletters they follow pertaining to #bitcoin , #lightning , #nostr
If you have the RSS feed link, double bonus because I will be throwing them all in a reader anyway.
Cheers!

I'm in a state of trying to keep up... You have to have the sats to send them. I would be amazed if I got 100 a day. I give out about 1000 between here, podcasts, and stacker news. It's all I can afford. I don't think my balance has ever been more than like 30k SATs...lol

2024-07-08 11:12:28

I've been a quite watcher of #bitcoin for awhile now. I have an @nprofile…lj58 wallet, use Fountain and play with sats.
Now I set up an #Umbrel. As I download the blockchain in preparation to have my own #node, I see there are a ton of various bitcoin apps available for the thing.
Can I get advice of which of the apps I need to make things work well and stay secure. How do you have your Umbrel node setup?
Thanks

I dunno, if you just tell someone to install something like Primal, the basics are pretty easy.

2024-07-07 16:49:01

If you were to choose a #music #streaming service based on their ethics, which would it be?
Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or Tidal

Thanks, they are both great options... now I have to play around and see which I prefer.

That route is a possibility, especially finding stuff used and cheap. But if I could skip the step that would be great also.

2024-07-04 12:56:38

I see people post links with previews here on #nostr / @npub12vk…pugg, Iam wondering how one makes that happen. It seems none of my links do so?

2024-07-04 11:57:28

Where are the best places to buy #digital music? I’m sort of done with streaming services. I just want to buy an album and keep it like in the good ole' days.

I’m looking for a new #notes app. I want something that is not a web app. I don’t want to depend on the Internet for my notes, I do want a way to sync though so I can take notes on my phone and easily get them on my PC, #Linux friendly is a must.

Watched “Trigger Warning” on Netflix. Super cheesy, and what’s with special effects these days, her TV show back in 2001 had better shots. Jessica aged well though, Minus the Botox in her upper lip. Why do people destroy their lips?

Right now, until #System76 Cosmic comes and shows me differently, I feel #Ubuntu 24.04 with #Omakub from DHH is the best #Linux setup out there.

I installed #iOS18 beta and it looks like autofill settings for third party password managers have been removed, with the #Apple password manager taking over completely. No #Proton or #1Password . You can’t switch to them… it looks like I will be moving to Android this week.

I use 1Password to manage ssh keys to make it easy to jump machines or #linux distros. Is there another tool I can use to do the same. I actually use @npub18q5…rs6f for passwords so 1Password is only used for keys.
