Can't catch a break in 2025 😅 Three laptops so far and none of them can successfully boot TailsOS. Yes, i verified. Yes, I turned off secure boot. I've done all the things. Just no give.

So...funny story. Every time I see @Ben Justman🍷 's posts, I think of Theo Von. It was months before I realized they weren't the same person (apparently, I associate you all with your profile pic and not your display name). That entire time, in my mind I connected Von with bitcoin and told myself, "He might be an idiot, but he's an idiot with bitcoin". So now, I still read Ben's posts in Von voice, and hope Von has a secret stash of Bitcoin. https://imgs.search.brave.com/XJyyBiMA0x0vBvp-SvX8M-BxLVHyXFns9_RwK4Shivw/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cu/cGF5Y29tY2VudGVy/LmNvbS9hc3NldHMv/aW1nL3RoZW92b244/NTJ4NjI2LTdmNjYw/MTNlYjIucG5n #nostr #grownostr #plebchain

Anyone recommend Watchman Privacy courses? #asknostr #privacy

Alright, as my final experiment, I've setup my lightning address as a bolt12 address, which is basically the best sort of privacy I can manage with lightning as of today. The down side is that most wallets don't support or even recognize bolt12 yet so most of yall wont be able to zap me, which I find is a fair trade off.

Alright...phoenixd running on my ubuntu device locally.... Going to try and give it a front end using

GitHub

GitHub - AngusP/phoenixd-lnurl: Bitcoin Lightning LNURL for phoenixd

Bitcoin Lightning LNURL for phoenixd. Contribute to AngusP/phoenixd-lnurl development by creating an account on GitHub.

Wish me luck, cause this is my last attempt before giving up completely on #lightning 😅

I've been lurking on xmrbazaar for a bit now and I love the concept. My experience with early lightning marketplaces and shopstr were less than satisfying, however direct downloadable integration on this platform are pretty clean. Depending on how these tests go, I'll start using this more frequently.

-Go to buy sats on #robosats -I put in my aqua wallet invoice to receive sats/Robosats tells me "You dumb💩, provide us a real Ln invoice" -I give it an invoice through alby/Robosats is appeased -send fiat to designated address -funds coming to my #lightning address are stuck.... for 4 hours -Robosats sends sats eventually to the aqua address NOT alby -confusion
