**Who?**
You have a single-sig hardware wallet, or planning to get one soon


**What?**
A no-excuse, easy to make, frictionless bitcoin inheritance plan that will actually work when you die


**When?**
Do this now, even if just a placeholder until you make a "better" plan later


**Where?**
This is mainly for US bitcoiners, but most concepts apply worldwide


**Why?**
Unlike legacy assets, there is no default inheritance plan, no safety nets, no fail safes for your bitcoin upon your death. YOU must create your own backup plan


**How?**
1. **Choose a non-heir executor who knows probate AND bitcoin**
    - Ideally doesn't know your heirs personally
    - I offer this service (20+ years experienced NY executor/probate lawyer)
    - Or try your attorney, a bank, or  fiduciary service company.

2. **Make a do-it-yourself will**
    - Name your heirs and executor
    - Use https://www.freewill.com or https://www.doyourownwill.com
    - Watch my walkthrough at Adopting Bitcoin 2022 https://youtu.be/2_eOto4Nrtg

3. **Create a poor man's multisig**
    - Set a passphrase
    - Share your seed with your heirs, your passphrase with your executors
    - And their successors, for redundancy.

Later, you can level up and:
1) Change your executor to a trusted, orange-pilled, friend or loved one who understands probate
2) Pay for a lawyer-prepared will or trust
3) Setup a proper multisig

Based on my years of experience probating 1,000s of estates, this plan should work as intended upon death. Even if you don't love parts of it, it's cheap and easy to put in place now as your safety net, while you think about your "perfect plan." When you make your "perfect plan," you may still be able to leave this one in place as your baselayer safety net.

I'll be writing up more detailed rationale in a short guide. Including why other concepts (letters of instruction, Shamir Secret Sharing, deadman switch, timelocks) are unlikely to work as intended upon death. DM if you'd like a copy.

Appreciate any and all feedback

How To Put Your Lightning Address & Nostr NIP-05 Under Your Own Domain

xanny

Many people now want a LN address, especially for NOSTR and for other use cases.

Some are concerned about custodial ones or simply want their own fancy LN address.

### Why?

I personally use many LN addresses, public ones and private ones, custodial and non-custodial. All depending the use case.

I use public ones, custodial, for public stuff, where my real identity is not revealed. Almost all of these custodial do not require a full KYC so is not a big deal using them. You just have to move the funds out, to your own private wallets wherever you consider is a good amount.

I use private LN address for PRIVATE stuff (private businesses, private communication with people that really know me, family, friends etc), stuff that is NOT PUBLIC.

People should learn to make the difference between public and private damn it! Seems that many still don't know it.

### How to achieve such thing?

You have many ways:

1. Using a federated server, in case you do not want / can't run your own LNURL private server.
[BridgeAddress](https://bridgeaddr.fiatjaf.com/) from fiatjaf is the perfect solution.
Why? Because:
- is offering a lot of connection types directly to your node or other funding sources.
- easy to setup, in max 10 min is functional (depending on your DNS provider).
- can be used with a Tor or ZeroTier node

Yes, you need a bit of trust in fiatjaf, for handling your we requests. But if you do not know who is fiatjaf in Bitcoin world, I don't know what are you doing here...

2. Using your own LNURL server.
And are many implementations out there.
Please consult the documentation page of https://lightningaddress.com or use one of these:
- https://github.com/nbd-wtf/satdress
- https://github.com/SatSale/SatSale
- https://github.com/niteshbalusu11/rustdress
- https://github.com/hieblmi/go-host-lnaddr

3. Using LNbits as LNDHUB and LNURL server provider
- https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/wiki/LNbits-Documentation
- you could use the LN address extension or free-LN-address extension (see more here https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/wiki/LNbits-Extensions)
- or you could just use LNbits with a temporary funding source and link it to BridgeAddress if you want more privacy in terms of the domain used.

There are many ways to play around with these tools, especially if you want to have a more private LN address.

Do you want /need a private LN address? Here is a simple guide
