I have installed @SimpleX Chat smp server (using docker compose), and it seems to be running (finally). Is there a debugging/installation guide for getting the xftp service up and running (I used again the docker compose from the official installation guide). ChatGPT suggests I announce the xftp via the smp-server.ini file, but I cannot find any documentation on that, and it might as well be a hallucination. #simplex

If you're interested in regular updates on AI, https://news.smol.ai/ is a great resource. Today, for example, I learned about SmolLM, a small yet highly performing model, even for limited resources. Isn't it cool to know that you can still use AI even when the internet is down? The world's knowledge on the laptop or the server in the basement... #AI

If you are selling products or services for #Bitcoin using Lightning and need inbound liquidity, DM me. Let me know how much liquid would be ideal, and I'll be happy to review and open a channel accordingly. #noderunner #circular #economy #payment #adoption

No matter the yield. No matter the staking reward. No matter the DeFi buzz. You're always better off just hodling Bitcoin. 🧡

What we are observing in the last weeks or even months is the perfect answer to those who claim that a deflationary currency will never be spent. We have significant purchases from new market participants and a flat price. Probably due to whale OTC sales. At some stage every individual realizes that time is more valuable than Bitcoin and sells some. And shareholders realize that they don't need to have a company if all it does is holding their coins. They will divest and (see above).

Whenever I explore a new tool—whether it’s a stove, a task planner, or a language model—I remind myself of the deeper purpose: to make meaningful use of the limited time I have. If a tool promises efficiency but ends up consuming more than it gives, I step away. Life is too short to optimize for the tool’s sake. These things exist to serve us, not the other way around. Our time is finite, and we should spend it walking our path.

Very cool 😃👏🏻🎯 View article →

WHAT BITCOIN DID

WBD917 - American HODL — WHAT BITCOIN DID

I was just trying to open dual-funded channels to nodes advertising liquidity (identified using the script below). I found 32 nodes. Many were TOR-only, so I could not connect from Open_Hand. Of the rest, a good half-dozen were unreachable. Of the rest, most had zero UTXOs available, two politely refused to open a channel to me at this time, and **two channels were successfully opened, balanced from the start**. We should make more use of this great dual-funding technology. As a #noderunner, give it a try. If you are running cln on Clearnet, Open_Hand is ready to take your call (minimum funding on either side is 1M sats). I used "lc listnodes | jq '\''.nodes[] | select(.option_will_fund != null) | {id: .nodeid, terms: .option_will_fund}'" to find ads.

My new Lightning node Open_Hand is steadily growing, and routing activity is starting to pick up again. If you're running your own node to accept Bitcoin for goods or services, feel free to reach out (DM or reply here) — I’m happy to provide additional inbound liquidity. I also welcome anyone who wants to open a channel to me. The minimum channel size is 1M sats. 🔗

I absolutely like to listen to the V4V podcast and boost in. However, for a while @Fountain makes it really difficult for me. Like: (Boost -> Nostr keypair not found -> Import Nostr Key -> Connect to Nostr -> "Nostr profile connected..." -> repeat). Both on my GrapheneOS and on the iPhone.
