Anybody have any links to good guidance for US taxpayers on lightning network? When is a capital gain/loss incurred, when a channel is closed or when transactions are made within LN? I would assume the latter but I'm having trouble finding any good sourcing on this. Any guidance on how to account for this in Koinly? Mark channel opens as transfers to my own wallet? I'm using Zeus and Electrum. #bitcoin #lightningnetwork #asknostr #taxes #accounting

Question for BTC lightning devs: I want to write a #python script to identify good lightning nodes to connect to. In particular, nodes which have a smaller maximum channel size. I know lightning node explorers exist, but they are centralized third parties and don't list minimum channel size. Without running a full stack of core + lnd/cln, is there a simple way from python to talk to lightning nodes and send/receive messages to them? What would you suggest? #asknostr #bitcoin #lightningnetwork

After a lightning invoice has been created, is it possible to add/inject a "description" into the invoice? Or can this only be done by the creator of the invoice? #bitcoin #asknostr #lightningnetwork

Does anybody know of a #cloud hosting/VPS provider where we can "gift" hosting to another user? Either via a gift card or some similar mechanism? Bonus points if they take #bitcoin. #webdev

Question for #bitcoin devs, how can I connect #electrum wallet to #mutinynet? I tried opening it with the --signet argument, but it doesn't appear to be working. I used the faucet at the URL below but didn't receive the coins.
