Awesome work! I’ve started working through it tonight. Building a lightning node stack or the future, your work is invaluable to the privacy we can extend to so many network participants!

Thank you for those words and for caring! Definitely give any feedback if you can, esp if something doesn't make sense. We hope to make sure this is an iterative website that stays up to date. And definitely ask any questions if you're unsure of. We thought about making a matrix community to talk about lightning privacy stuff but for now I think github issues/discussions should be okay for now.

I am playing around with a raspiblitz image for x64 computers, on various hardware configurations (NUC, PC, Laprtop) and with different LN implementations (CLN and LND). Testing in generally.
Maybe I will prepare another guide for newbies.
Here is the documentation I am following - by @openoms (excellent documentation)
Exactly like in this nice video explaining the theory of everything: for more you fuck around... more you will find out.

  • beefing up user analytics
  • adding optional turbo tipping setting that when enabled makes each bolt click 10x your last
I have a few changes already done locally too:
  • job board stuff
  • option to remove yourself for top users (ie rich list)
I was also going to add a page for donating to the daily rewards pot, but might not get to it by Friday. We'll see.

how will turbo tipping relate to the various bolt colors? Can you link an explanation of how the color coding currently works?
reply

Seems like this is the function: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/blob/master/components/upvote.js#L15 and here are the colors defined: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/blob/master/lib/rainbow.js
But I don't get what this var(--secondary) is.
Also, I am surprised that it seems that the color changes for every tip? I thought there are threshold where it flips to the next color. But doesn't seem to be the case:

It's a gradient so it's a pretty subtle change.
But I don't get what this var(--secondary) is.
It's the css variable for bitcoin orange.

Ah, I used 1 as my default tip now and could see the subtle gradient change now :) Cool, thanks!

It currently follows the rainbow through a gradient on a log 10 scale roughly, where 10000 sats tipped is the highest, ie purple.
<= 10 sats = orange 100 sats = green 1000 sats = blue 10000 sats = purple
I'm not sure how we'll have turbo tipping affect colors. Perhaps each click on turbo tipping will follow the rainbow too, regardless of your default tip. I still also need to figure out how it overlaps with press-and-hold custom tips.
Open to feedback if you have a preference.

Brilliant answers here!! I'm trying for the education in the Bitcoin field through a no-profit. Soon with a blog and for writing articles for newbies.
I'm also willing to work on something else, maybe with translation of technical works/papers (I have quite a technical knowledge of Bitcoin and I know very well italian and english).
Let me know!!

I have a university project that is a tool that should help scientists help in their literature review. Pulling multiple sources/APIs and ordering them in custom or smart ways.
It's partly inspired by one of the most famous cryptographers ever Claude Shannon in the 40s using Citations from 1500s Monsieur Vigenère. Would such a surprising citation happen nowadays with Google Scholar? Because it helped humanity forward so f-ing much.

Another famous example is Fast Fourrier Transformation which is an amazingly powerful algorithm discovered in the cold war ... but had actually already been discovered by Carl Friedrich Gauß in 1805.
