Heyyy STACKERS, it’s been a while since I last posted—I’ve been focused on trying to help others with Bitcoin education while also educating myself and learning about programming languages. It’s a fascinating world! I’ve also been diving into the Technical Fundamentals of the Lightning Network, and it’s beautiful.
Doing all this has helped me see the importance and clarity of the words "Don’t trust, verify." It’s true that you don’t necessarily need a sea of technical knowledge to use Bitcoin, but when you have it, you enjoy Bitcoin even more.
I always swing by here because I know this was my first school—and that’s a school you never forget. Thanks for all the advice and help. Today, I better understand the definitions of smart, stupid, innocent, and villain that I learned here. I also understand more clearly why the Austrian School of Economics is so important.
I’ve also learned why running your own node gives you true freedom and privacy—something I first heard about on this amazing platform. Studying Bitcoin has been one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.
Teaching Bitcoin is something I love, even if I haven’t achieved everything I wanted. But hey, Bitcoin is for everyone—just not everyone is ready for Bitcoin yet.

Holaaa STACKERS, hace tiempo que no publico, concentrado en intentar ayudar a otros con educación sobre Bitcoin mientras también me educaba a mí mismo: aprendiendo sobre lenguajes de programación (¡un mundo fascinante!) y sobre los Fundamentos Técnicos de Lightning Network—una hermosura.
Todo esto me ha ayudado a entender mejor la importancia y claridad de "No confíes, verifica". Es cierto que para usar Bitcoin quizás no haga falta un mar de conocimientos técnicos, pero cuando los tienes, lo disfrutas mucho más.
Siempre me doy una vuelta por aquí porque sé que esta fue mi primera escuela, y esa escuela no se olvida. Gracias por los consejos y la ayuda. Hoy entiendo mejor las definiciones de inteligente, estúpido, inocente y bandido que aprendí aquí. También comprendo por qué la Escuela Austriaca de Economía es tan importante.
He aprendido por qué tener tu propio nodo te da verdadera libertad y privacidad—algo que descubrí por primera vez en esta maravillosa plataforma. Estudiar Bitcoin ha sido una de las mejores cosas que me han pasado.
Enseñar sobre Bitcoin me encanta, aunque no haya logrado todo lo que quería. Pero bueno, Bitcoin es para todos, aunque no todos estén listos para Bitcoin todavía.
Aquí les dejo algo de lo que he aprendido a hacer y podría ser útil para los que hablen español:

Apple’s best thing to come out of WWDC is liquid glass, really shows where they prioritize their attention these days.
Honestly reminds me of Windows Aero in the 7/Vista days. 😑
Waymo suspended its downtown Los Angeles service after five of its self-driving cars were set on fire during anti-ICE protests, with demonstrators also vandalizing businesses in the area.
So, where are the Koreans when you need them?

I am just wondering if someone can tell me whether the time that appears in the details of a comment or post, belongs to any particular time zone.
I have noticed that the time is two hours behind my time zone which is GMT. Is it correct?
is UTC timezone
Thanks!
So true
I've seen phoenixd being discussed here quite a bit, and I have a question about it.
It seems great, and it works seamlessly. But, isn't it a bit too expensive to actually use it?
Having to pay 2m sats (~2k USD) to open your first channel seems massive. And any sats you send to it are basically trapped until you send at least 2m sats, which will go to pay the fee, so you end up with 0.
Am I missing something here?, or does it really cost about 2 grand USD to use it in practice?
This is the first time I've seen someone having problems with Phoenix. I've actually been using it for a long time and it works perfectly. I also opened my own channel and haven't had any problems since.
The fee for the channel is not 2m sats. That's the default channel capacity. You pay 1% + mining fees for channels, so for a 2m sats channel, it would be around 20k sats.
mmm, I actually have an issue with SN and phoenixd when making payments.
It seems that SN sends an OPTIONS HTTP request when trying to pay an invoice, which phoenixd replies with
If I change the OPTIONS to POST in my localhost test it seems to work fine.
I also am able to manually pay the invoices created in SN, so the only thing wrong seems to be the OPTIONS method in the request, when it actually should be POST.
This is actually an issue in phoenixd.
Because the request is cross-origin, your browser sends an OPTIONS pre-flight request. Phoenixd should handle that, but it doesn't. I guess it assumes that only other servers will call it, but not a browser.
However, since you will also need to reply with CORS headers, you will need to run a reverse proxy to enable CORS anyway. You can then also handle the OPTIONS request in the reverse proxy.
For reference, this is my nginx config:
upstream phoenixd { server 127.0.0.1:9740; } server { server_name phoenixd.ekzy.is; listen 80; listen [::]:80; return 301 https://phoenixd.ekzy.is$request_uri; } server { server_name phoenixd.ekzy.is; listen 443 ssl; listen [::]:443 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/phoenixd.ekzy.is/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/phoenixd.ekzy.is/privkey.pem; location / { if ($request_method = OPTIONS) { return 204; } add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow_Credentials' 'true' always; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*' always; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET,POST,OPTIONS,PUT,DELETE,PATCH' always; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Prefix /; proxy_pass http://phoenixd$request_uri; } include letsencrypt.conf; }Does this make sense to you?
OK, cool, it makes sense. I thought there was something wrong. I just need to configure this a bit more. Thanks for the reply.
No worries. Let me know if you run into any other issues!
I have an issue with your insufferable pearl clutching
Fake German
You're right!, it works flawlessly.
I actually read a bit into it, and you can even get an estimate of the current fees, so, for example, to receive 2m sats, you would have to pay this fee right now:
So a total of 21,219 sats for receiving up to 2m sats, which is about ~1%.
phoenixd rocks ⚡
Day 531 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 586 sats on 8Jun2025! Running total: 362,170 sats!

Happiness Journal 9/6/25
Went for a free trial class in Minecraft coding, courtesy of The Empire Code. Initially, I expected to avail myself of hard selling of its courses during the 30-min lesson. Hence, I was pleasantly surprised to note that no parents were allowed in the premises, which meant that I could enjoy some respite at the nearby Starbucks. My 30 mins of freedom flew by in a flash. I appreciated how the trainer took time to give me feedback on how my son had taken to the course. Again, I was expecting to have to stay for a sales talk. However, contrary to my expectations, the receptionist waved us goodbye, stating that someone would be in touch with us later. I really enjoy The Empire Code’s non-pushy way of doing business!
Got ChatGPT to generate a list of useful words and phrases that depicted my son’s experience. First-hand experience FTW!
