"Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it." —Motto of Ludwig von Mises
Compiling phoenixd on Debian or similar is turning more complicated than expected.
FWIW: The phoenixd API uses HTTP Basic Auth with the user phoenix-cli and an x-www-form-urlencoded HTTP body. The endpoints are listed in the API source file. The response is JSON.
Terminal Tip: qrencode -t ansiutf8 <string> This will encode a qrcode and output it to the terminal. Useful for paying invoices to phoenixd.
Running phoenixd I had a few issues compiling from source and stopped at not having the correct libsqlite3-dev that is compiled to glibc 2.19 Downloaded the release files and used those instead. Created a phoenixd service to keep it running. I've already recieved sats to the service. Next step I think is to have a lightning address. This could be a great, low maintenance, quick and simple setup.
"With transparent rules available for anyone in the world to audit, and with a system built entirely on verification rather than authority, bitcoin gives the entire world a monetary market commodity that works without needing coercive political authority. It allows us to make peaceful non-aggression the basis of human economic interaction, bringing the productivity of the market system to the monetary realm, reversing the violent high time preference statist fiat detour of the last century. If it can unleash human civilization from the clasp of the state's fiat claws, bitcoin will be remembered as our age's most significant civilizational achievement." — @Saifedean Ammous
"By destroying the ability of individuals to save for the future, fiat money takes away the incentive to delay gratification, reduces the creation of capital, and undermines the basic starting point of economic development and civilization. Rather than have security of money to brace for future uncertainty, fiat makes humans become debt slaves of their government's banking cartels." — @Saifedean Ammous
Trying out running @ZEUS in the background so it starts up faster, hopefully it does not drain the battery too much or use too much bandwidth.
