Howdy Partners 🤠,

Harvard University holds more in Bitcoin ETFs than in Google shares.

Harvard’s endowment fund reported a $117 million investment in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (iShares Bitcoin Trust, IBIT) at the end of the second quarter of 2025. This made it the fifth-largest holding in the university’s portfolio. Notably, this position surpassed its $114 million stake in Alphabet, Google’s parent company.

And good night!

Issue appears to be prepay probes to LDK producing the wrong error message: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/discussions/10427

weird, does it say anything in your logs? we updated our node to the latest version of lnd last night. I wonder if there's an incompatibility of some kind.

Hmm, I see what looks like multiple payment retries

which I think might've been for this zap

Maybe i'll try updating my albyhub and reconnecting

Do you know what's backing your node? Is it LDK? Which version?

I'm using AlbyHub version 1.21.0 which seems to integrate LDK, though I don't know which version of LDK

Thanks. I'll push an update today that falls back to a fee estimation method that doesn't suffer from this problem.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 7 Dec

It looks like LND is having some kind of issue using our direct channel when estimating routes when I ask it to probe (to estimate fees) based on an invoice. I'm not sure why, but I'll keep poking at it.

It might be an issue with wrapping the invoices. I’ll see if there’s anything I can figure out on my end

That's quite a fee range. Transaction weather has been pretty awesome for what feels like months now.

It's weird to see products adopt fashionable missions. Often they're not entirely orthogonal to what I assume the product's primary mission would be absent fashion, yet it gives me the sense that the product doesn't have that strong of a primary mission. It's like the mission is the result-of some ever-changing social consensus which is backwards. The mission should result-in some new social consensus.

Really really good. And funny. Start to see a season 3 or more too. I think the story can go on a long run.

Fiat money is not just a means of payment. It is a political institution that has been used to plunder the wealth of the low- and middle-class for centuries, and it must be allowed to die in order for a better solution to emerge. In the current political and geopolitical moment, you have to know how to choose your side. Mine is that of the peoples of the world, Bitcoin and freedom. Long live the timechain.

From a young age, we're taught that success is measured in money, when in reality it's measured in hours. You can have euros, a house, or a good salary, but if your time is constantly being held hostage, the inner feeling remains one of not achieving anything. It's the paradox of modern life: we've never had so many technological tools, yet we feel we have less and less of our own life.

The curious thing is that almost no one talks openly about this. We talk about inflation, work, opportunities, but we avoid the uncomfortable question: how much of your life do you actually control??

I think..
