Any bitcoin lightning node runners want a small amount of inbound liquidity? I want to set up a channel for my newly spun up lightning node to play around with it.
It won't cost you any sats, but you will have to put up with my potential fuck ups until I figure out what I'm doing (and maybe even after I figure out what I'm doing).
Dr Hax, did you stay up all night playing with your computer?
Me: 😳 maaaybe
Why would you do that?!
Me: well there was this bug in the automation that deploys lightning nodes, so I had to fix that, test it, and submit it upstream
But then I had a lightning node, and how could I NOT create a wallet and send it some loot?
And obviously I wanted to control my node via Zeus, so I had to set up lets encrypt, do some more port forwarding and haproxy configs.
I regret nothing
Oh God, I hope
@ZEUS can help me.
Trying to open a channel from my embedded PND Zeus wallet to the LND node on my server. I have 321K sats on chain and 362K sats in lightning.
I don't want a trusted channel, just a normal one. When I try to add a channel, Zeus tells me:
"Not enough witness outputs to create funding transaction, need 0.00100000 BTC only have 0 BTC available"
Can you help me understand this error? I couldn't find anything about it on docs.zeusln.app.
I don't understand #Alby Hub at all. I'm running the desktop version and it:
1. Asked me for a password (for what?)
2. Never asked me for a back end (e.g. LND)
3. Doesn't have any setting yo set the back end
4. Says I can open a channel (without using my backend?)
This just doesn't seem to match what the readme says about supporting LND.
I am making FreeCAD work harder than I ever have in my life
I remember when I used to add up the cost of components in an #OpenSource #hardwsre project and compare them to the cost of the assembled hardware and think "Gee, that seems like a lot of markup!"
Now that I've seen how much money goes into #development, purely in parts alone, I have a very different perspective.
Now I see the costs, and the value of the creator's time. Plus I know that only a small handful of devices are likely top ever be sold because, well lets face it: open source hardware creators are rarely both good at and interested in running #marketing campaigns.
My current project is a high quality #LoRa #solar node, which I'm going to use to run #meshtastic (and possibly run #reticulum on the other node). But this issue of cost applies to #Signet, the active USB->PS/2 HID adapter, and all the other #OpenHardware projects I've been involved in.
If I could earn even just an average of $15/hr developing open source hardware (electronics and CAD models), I would make so much cool shit! And the first step of every project would be the same: try to find some project that has already done this (or something close) so I can contribute to their project! I don't want to splinter the community's efforts, nor reinvent the wheel.
I ran into an interesting error the other day. It was a checksum mismatch when trying to get updates from an apt repo. The file size was also different than expected.
The error message from apt helpfully suggested that this might be because the server was in the middle of an rsync.
I tried it again and sure enough, it worked fine. It's one of those situations that I never ran into or thought of, but it makes sense in retrospect.
It makes me think about my apt repo & whether I can avoid this.

32 juniper seeds planted. We only actually want one male and one female tree, but since we don't know the germination rate, whether grocery store seeds are ecen viable, or the gender that the plants will be, we decided to go overboard.
They can cold stratisfy for a couple months until Spring arrives. It's not as good as if we had planted them in the Fall, but hey, I can't change the past. I can, however, do things today that will change the future.

@Ava wow, you're really getting onto #vanlife
Current status: Statically compiling rust code and linking against musl.
I think I'd have it if it weren't for the dependency on libusb, which depends on libudev (which might depend on other things, I haven't gotten that far down the rabbit hole).
I haven't been following the news, has #Trump ended the war in #Ukraine?
