It's a spare laptop that i've been using to run a Bitcoin node for some years now - i added the LN node a couple of years ago to see if i could use it with the Bitcoin node and it all just worked (to my surprise) - maybe i've been lucky but i don't have problems with channels - my ACINQ channel is over 2 years old now - i don't route, it's for my use only, but i like to keep it switched off when i'm away from it to prevent interference from those around me where i'm living.

I'll take a look at the link and see if i can get anywhere with it - thx

Yes, i run a Bitcoin node and an LN node on a laptop (Ubuntu OS), which is on maybe 12 hours per day, and i open and close both nodes from terminals - closing the terminal stops the nodes, and i then shut down the laptop. On restarting i fire them both up again using the ./ command - Bitcoin first, and when that's synced, the LN node.

Not sure if you mean i could do something similar - would i have to use a command to close LND before shutting down the laptop, and would i have to also use a command to start it up again when the laptop is restarted ?

I'd consider running a Lightning.Pub if it has the ability to be switched on and off - i have a private LN node which i run part time, but i'm not aware any way to use Lightning.Pub in the same way - it's the only sticking point, as it has better features than my current setup.

hadn't noticed this - thx

veering close to fearmongering - the anti 110 crowd taking a turn at pearl clutching - also, note the derisive tone of '110 fork people'

Maybe i'm wrong, but ETF's just look like people speculating on the dollar exchange rate with a Coinbase account - which is like 2013 behaviour, isn't it ?

Sure they've got deeper pockets than the 2013's, but they're reactionaries, normies, laggards - they're a decade behind the curve of Bitcoin (they're on the curve though, so still ahead of most others in the world, i suppose).

Maybe the signal being given there is that it's late phase speculation, not ending, but a fading era - and where's Bitcoin going next ? MOE perhaps ?

i was wondering why my node has lost all i2p peers last night

wait, mechanic rage quit ? when ?

can't help noticing his name is an anagram of i, madman

the local squatting headquarters in Amsterdam East

interested to know what a squatting hq is, and how it works, as i have no idea or experience of any of this

On the other hand, they did (narrowly) vote for Digital ID earlier in the year - haven't bothered to look up the closer details, but any move in that direction doesn't inspire confidence...

if the Bitcoin node already has a TX Index (txindex=1) can Fulcrum just be pointed to that rather than having to re-index the whole chain again ?

i linked this in the Music saloon, but it's well worth another plug -

i should add, i didn't ever sign in or anything to it, it's way less than even 100k sats, and i've only ever used it over LN, never on chain

are older versions of WOS affected by this in any way, or is it just this new release ?

(i have some stray sats on an older WOS, dunno if i should move them and ditch it )

this is glorious - just found it on wavlake - zap this guy

haa, this movie is one of my friend's favourites - along with Demon Wind, and Criminally insane.

one of the best things about it is that there is no Troll 1, lol

The yellow journalism of this has been bizarrely called out by the perennially odious Udi Wertheimer, of all people -

enjoying this anthemic positive vibe

but if even one of the tor/i2p nodes also accepts connections over ipv4/6, then the tor/12p nodes would still see the wider network through connection to that node - the config can allow any combination of connections to be active
