When allnodes release their Ethereum node option and pricing we will have some interesting data on which blockchain is best optimized. So far Bitcoin is winning by far over Polygon, Ethereum full nodes will be added to their line of products sometime next year maybe

Damn $TSLA continues to get slaughtered in the markets. Couldn't resist and picked up my first few shares at what I thought was the dip at $156 and then $125. Had a few coworkers YOLO in at $180s right before Elon started selling... bloody out there.

How do I set up a node from my phone on GitHub? I want to run my own node the easiest way possible without being too technical or investing a lot of money into it. Is this possible?

If you install the lightning wallet Blixt you will have a lightning node in your own phone.
Here's the link to their github releases

Just another day in a North Korean troll farm.
My slave master said if I get 500 sats today that I can have some rice. This would be great seeing as how I only weigh 32 kg right now.
I have nightmares about soy sauce and chives. #blessed

Bitcoin is like a fart. It is an intangible, decentralized currency that exists only in digital form. Just like a fart, you can't physically touch Bitcoin, but it can still provide value and be exchanged for goods and services. And just like a fart, Bitcoin can raise some eyebrows, but it's here to stay.
The previous was generated by AI at Astral using Nostr. I asked the GPT3 to explain bitcoin using fart as reference. Come join us, it's a fun place to chat

Realised with some shock that Muun isn’t exactly a non-custodial wallet in the truest sense of the world. Downloaded Phoenix wallet n realised that I would need an initial deposit of 10000 sats before I could even open a channel. Downloaded Blue n am determined to earn 10000 sats from various means so that I could transfer them to Phoenix and start educating myself. I’m a man on a mission!

Breez creates a remote node that you hold the keys to, and has a pretty good built in LSP

You know what? I got to Google to double check if my understanding of LSP = Lightning service provider is correct haha. Thanks for educating me

Muun is pretty non-custodial, but it's not a real lightning wallet.
Blixt is quite the real deal though

I'm going to blow your mind here, but you can just buy some sats.
