Have a great weekend cultists!

BANDWIDTH LIMITS When a lot of people talk about the future of Bitcoin they talk about how storage is getting cheaper. They forget that bandwidth isn’t necessarily free. One thing I’d like to report is I’ve annoyingly hit my ISP 1200GB data cap for 3 months in a row. I haven’t synced a Bitcoin node in any of those months! Sure we watch a decent bit of television on the 4K TV. Yeah I’ve downloaded a couple AI models. My ISP charges $10/50gb after the cap. If my standard usage hits the cap, and I ALSO have to download the blockchain it would cost me (650gb/50gb) = 13 * $10 = $130! The blockchain costs $130 in bandwidth LOL

Nice! 👀 A good start! Heres to following more people and more followers! Follow me for mushroom 🍄 and bitcoin 🌽 and lightning ⚡ and other technical content 🏗️ .

Most everyone who has looked into mushroom cultivation has heard of the PF Tek. It is the easiest and most forgiving way to get started growing mushrooms. I had attempted PF tek long ago back in college but I failed back then. When I got back into mushrooms more recently I skipped over it and just started making grain spawn with millet and rye. HOWEVER, I thought it was good to brush up on some basics, so if anyone ever asks me, I can help them out. So today I did PF tek! Hopefully I'll put together all of the pictures and get it posted to the blog this weekend, so stay tuned! We are all standing on the shoulders of giants, I haven't done anything new or innovative here, just following the directions, and hoping for success! Link to the most recently updated PF Tek:

Updated PF Tek Guide (with Pictures)

Updated PF-Tek Guide 2023 Edition Before we begin I personally feel that we need an update on the Pf-tek guide. This is that guide. Those old guide...

Haven’t posted anything mush related in a bit. Harvested this funky Natalensis this weekend! Super crazy caps! Took a clone! #mushroom #InACult #mushstr

I had a depleted lightning channel to a destination that pay toward a lot. Considered some options. Tried using thunderhub to rebalance the channel. But honestly it’s been years and I’ve successfully rebalanced using that UI like twice. It didn’t work. I have some fun Python code which also does rebalances and is generally more reliable. But my code isn’t totally set it and forget it either. Takes a bit of time getting all the pieces working. Pretty sure my partner doesn’t run PeerSwap with liquid either. Ended up opening a new channel 🤪it costs like 16K sats, but at least it took like a minute and then it’s done.

Was also able to successfully generate liquid wallet addresses using Python today! Sent funds from Green wallet to the address, and then saw the TX in elements-cli. Next is something related to LNBits!

It is weird to think that you can follow me if you see this message, but I might never see that you follow me. On my main UIs for using Nostr, Damus and Primal, I only listen to 9 relays

I spent a good couple of hours debugging publishing to relays today. Eventually I ran my own test relay so I could better see why things were not working. I was able to publish my old events to my personal relay, but for the most part I was not able to publish my old events to the relays I attempted to do this. I am guessing that there is some kind of filter preventing old notes to be re-published on new relays? Let me know if you have any ideas or if you want to chat about this!

Hello Nostr! This is LightningSpore! This is my first attempt at writing a note from the CLI and sending it to a bunch of relays. Please follow me for mushroom + technical Bitcoincontent!

I DMed someone on Nostr a few days ago and was wondering why they aren’t responding, and then I noticed they aren’t listening to ANY of the same relays as me. That’s the problem right? Nostr is an interesting beast #asknostr

Made some great progress with Liquid Network! ✅Able to generated blinded addresses! ✅Able to send to the address with Green Wallet ❌ The money is visible in elementsd but it says it isn’t mine! 🤪 #techsupport #liquid #bitcoin

New blog post available on the site! This time about storing your cultures in "stasis". Similar to storing your private keys on a metal backup device, storing your cultures in stasis is the most secure and high-fidelity way to store genetic information for the long term. It is really simple, it is just storing your culture in sterilized distilled water! See full post here:

With the 3 I made today, excited to now have 20 cultures stored in this way! #growstr #mushstr #science
