Do Not See BTCPay OnChain Received Transaction

I do yeah. I was able to fix it. Had to increase the gap limit to 300 in sparrow

I fixed it. Had to increase the gap limit in sparrow to 300

I have a question about receiving on-chain payments from BTCpay server. 
I went under wallets, bitcoin, receive, and copied the address there with a label. I see the confirmation in mempool, so I am unsure why I do not see it in my cold storage wallet. The xpub and derivation path are correct in BTCpay.
I don't think I need to increase the gap limit, but I could be wrong. Maybe the new address from BTCpay is the issue. Sparrow might not see it in the list. 
I am using Sparrow wallet. 


spirituality

I had quite a profound moment today with the mushroom, and I felt called to share a piece of that experience with you.

It was my first time trying a small dab of infused honey - a generous gift from a nostr friend. The amount was minimal, but the impact was exactly what I needed, apparently. The experience reminded me of just how powerful psychedelics can be, and more importantly, how much respect they deserve as tools for healing when approached with proper intention.

There's something incredible about these substances and their ability to address spiritual, emotional, and psychological challenges that live deep within us. I won't dive into all the personal revelations and insights that surfaced - the family dynamics, the question of how to provide more value to the people I care about, the endless maze of figuring out how to navigate this overwhelming world we live in…

Psychedelics seem to work directly with your emotional nervous system - that constant internal dialogue happening beneath your conscious awareness. The mushroom forces you to actually listen to those conversations between your emotions that your rational mind can't quite decode or articulate.

When you're in that space, you have to let it all come out. You cry, you sing, you dance, you move, you laugh - your body becomes the vehicle for releasing what I can only describe as emotional constipation. All those feelings and insights your rational mind has been suppressing or simply couldn't process suddenly have a pathway to expression.

That's what happened to me today. In that vulnerable, open state, I was overwhelmed by appreciation and love for everyone close to me in my life. My family, my friends, my interests, my passion for art - everything felt illuminated with gratitude. 

Yet simultaneously, I felt that familiar overwhelm about navigating this complex world, always circling back to that persistent question: 

How?
How do I do this? How do I do that? How do I...?

I know that "how" isn't always the right question to be asking, but I can't seem to stop returning to it.

This has been a long-winded reflection, I know. But I felt moved to be vulnerable and share this experience, partly as a way of expressing my genuine gratitude for everyone here who has respected and supported me along the way. I'm continuously trying to do my best. 

Much love and gratitude to all of you.


The mushroom will humble you

'Taste of Absurditites' (volume 1) - PhotoZine

Meeting Owen Madigan at the Press Play book fair felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Within minutes, we discovered a shared appreciation for finding humor in everyday absurdity - both in our art and how we see the world. His playful illustrations and my street photography shared similar DNA.

That instant connection sparked a collaboration conversation before we even finished setting up our table. Two years later, 'Tastes of Absurdities' Volume 1 pairs our images across spreads, creating visual dialogues that highlight poetry in life's overlooked moments.

This 78-copy limited edition is the start of an ongoing artistic dialogue where two perspectives harmonize to find beauty in the mundane.

I have 28 copies on hand, signed upon request.

Insane NYC Guitar Shop

Great idea, it should be. This was the first shop I've been to that was bitcoin friendly. Need more of these. 

Yeah I mentioned that they should probably consider just taking bitcoin

NYC Guitar Shop that accepts Bitcoin

Yeah same here. Not a fan of the p90's after playing on them for a bit. Incredible neck and body though

Spent a few hours in NYC yesterday, mainly to meet up with two photographer friends and pick up some of my photo books. One of them was a zine I worked on with a friend (I’ll share that in the coming days…) and it came out great. 

While waiting for one of them to get home, I wandered over to a shop in Brooklyn called RetroFret. I’d found it through Reverb while scouting guitar shops nearby, so I figured why not walk the mile and a half to check it out. Ended up being the best decision of the day.

This was the best guitar shop I've ever been to. You have to be buzzed in, and once inside, you’re basically surrounded by holy relics of guitar history. The staff welcomed me in, encouraged me to play whatever I wanted - which is insane considering the instruments ranged anywhere from $3k to $20k+

I got my hands on a variety of Gibson SGs, including my dream: a 1964 SG Standard with a vibrola. Unreal neck and body. Played a few SG Specials with P90s (not really my style pickup-wise), plus some vintage Gretsches, and even a 1910 Gibson acoustic. Amazing relic, even if it sounded like poopoo. 

Best part is that they accept bitcoin!

I asked the owner directly and she told me they’ve taken it a few times before - even ETH. 

If you’re a musician, especially a guitarist, and you find yourself in NYC, this is a must-visit.

Design

I create a lot of graphic and video content like this. 

I made this video by holding a glass bottle up to the sun and recording it with my phone. Brought it into photoshop first and then sent it out to final cut pro to do some extra color and textural elements. 

Reach out to me if you want some video stuff made for you. I enjoy creating this sort of material.

The music is by my friend Corey. I recommend that you check out his music, its really good: https://coreymastrangelo.bandcamp.com/album/new-context

Reaching my first 100,000 satoshis

guerratotal

I didn't realize you're able to swap out from Coinos to onchain for cold storage. How is that different from using Boltz?

Coinos has struggled a bit in the past, but I still enjoy the wallet. Adam does a great job 

Congrats! Made my first 100,000 sats here on Stacker

When was your last on-chain payment?

dickiegreenlead

Onchain payment? That wasn't for opening a channel? Damn, it's been a while
