SN user since item #166 Early adopter (2012 class), old bitcoiner (toxic) maximalist, trying to onboard to Bitcoin as many nocoiners I can, by doing guides and give them support 24/7.
Shitcoiners - prove yourself you are worth it, otherwise HFSP. Before you start your SN journey you better read this: Some little advice for new stackers on SN.

I am testing BTC/LN solutions all the time from the POV of a normal user just to be able to teach noobs into that BTC solution they need for each case.
I also write here my Citadel Story - building my own homesteading citadel.
I do not run a routing public node anymore. Only private ones.
Yes, hate me if you want, for my writing tone, for my way to express myself... I don't fucking care! It's your problem not mine, if you are too snowflake for my way of talking. You find it offensive? I found it funny. And that's why I am happier than you. Important is the message and content I wrote not the way I say it. And btw, sometimes I make intentional gramatical errors just for fun and to fuck the algo.
FUCK THE BANKS, FUCK THE GOVS, FUCK THE SHITCOINS! BITCOIN IS DESTINY FOR ALL!
The legend of DarthCoin:The legend of DarthCoin:
In 2012 this old wise friend of mine (is older than me and literally like ObiWan), that was mining Bitcoin, he told me about Bitcoin.
And he literally told me: "if somebody will want to strike down Bitcoin, it will make it even stronger than we can imagine."
That made me think and study deeply into Bitcoin and that's how DarthCoin was born. I never "leave" Bitcoin, always staying on the same path, never shitcoining. Shitcoining it's a sin.
Can vouch for Darth's helpfulness in the Umbrel community ⚡️🙌
Thanks for your contributions to SN and within the bitcoin field! Just started reading your guides. Thanks for writing those! I'm doing combo of private nodes on Blixt and CLN (on Embassy Pro device) and an LND routing node that I'm having fun managing (also on Embassy Pro). While I would prefer to have clearnet support (this is supposedly coming in 2023), Tor only seems to be working okay for the moment. I'm not running a routing node to get rich but rather to contribute to decentralization of the LN network and support better liquidity.
I have had quite a few force closures on me lately, however. I've reached out to the node operators and the theme is that they are running their nodes on Umbrel and did not initiate the force closures or even know why they are happening.
My "best" channels are the big players (like c=) to be honest. Great flow both directions with that. I'll have to be more selective in choose channels to open in the future.
Thanks again for your work!
Anything change I'm reading this in the future
Start9 is alpha testing a version that will allow much better clearnet support. However, at the moment I have albyhub running on my Start9, which allows very easy access to my LND node. See here: #682275
I can also access my LND node via LNC on Zeus. Zeus also works with Albyhub
I have started closing my public channels and taking the route of opening private channels per Darth's recommendations. Since I don't have time to devote to the running of the nodes, I have lost sats due to channel closures (again probably due to my node being on Tor only at the moment). The upcoming clearnet support will definitely improve things from Tor only connectivity.
I still highly recommend start9!
Yes, I've played around with Start9 too, is a very good and stable OS for a node.

Vamos!!!
Hola Darthcoin conocí tus guías en español porque un amigo de mi papá me los compartió, aún es muy difícil entender bitcoin sino me lo explican despacio pero me gusta mucho lo que estoy aprendiendo! Soy Salvadoreño, gracias saludos!
Tienes que escribir mas en SN. Aun que son preguntas especificas sobre Bitcoin o simplementes tus historias con Bitcoin y basketball, da igual. Si son cosas buenas los stackers te van a dar sats.
May The Bitcoin Be With You!
May a huge dick go up your ass
You're a legend thank you so much for your contribution to community.
Could you please help me out with set up my own cold wallet??
Sure, here are the guides:
Sorry for asking too many questions but l have a question regarding build your hodl btc wallet guide when l want to upgrade tails to the lastest version l should connect to Tor but shouldn't we never connect to internet when using tails and our wallet should never touch the internet
Thank you l already gone through the guides but wondering the option B generate wallet from machine PC and connect to internet and then set up a mobile app watch only wallet?? What different that from set up my own cold wallet
The definition of a cold wallet: a wallet that you will not expose it to online. A wallet from which you cannot send/move funds, you only can receive without even "open" it.
That means you will need to use a MPK (master public key) to generate new BTC deposit addresses and also check the balance of the wallet if you want. WITHOUT EXPOSING IT TO THE WILD WEST ONLINE.
I got you, however create a watch only wallet there are two options, options B tell you to create new wallet although l already create it when l used other guides " create my own cold Wallet" What l don't get it options B which created a entire new seed but it supposed to be import MPK!!
Thank you for having your site with Spanish versions, I have been reading some articles about lightning thanks to you. I like them.
Me explota la cabeza con todo esto.Gracias por las guías
Since you noticed my post, I'll write one too. A couple of days ago I created the Elektrum wallet. All according to the instructions, as in your blog. Tailc. I think it's a good option, better than Ledger. Of course the BIOS is a bit disturbing, but the chance of infection is negligible. Now I want to open a channel. I didn't see such an article on your blog. If you don't mind, give me a link to some good material. I want to tie the channel to the "Blue Wallet". It, by the way, is what I use to view my cold storage. My English is very bad, so there are some inaccuracies.
had me laughing, well said
Hey @DarthCoin, can we send you some update to this: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-wallets-comparison
So it features Alby (and Alby Hub) properly? Thanks!
Sure, please.
Great <3 @MoritzKaminski is on that in touch with you :)
Darth never strays from the path - he has an unwavering conviction of priceless hard money - bitcoin
Howdy @DarthCoin, glad to see you're one of the most prolific stackers around and a proud cowboy!
Just want to introduce you to the ~AGORA territory, a place to buy and sell your products or services with other stackers and obviously use bitcoin P2P as a medium of exchange.
Read this intro guide whenever needed, and if you have any feedback or suggestion on how we can make this space more useful, please do get in touch!
Wish you great and prosperous times around this wonderful corner of the internet!
Stay tuned, stack sats ;)
I am quite new in the bitcoin space (4y, but 10'000h of study) and during my trip down the rabbit hole i had to slay many many heros... ... Just want to tell you ... ... You are the last man standing ...
Thank you, sir!
Thanks man, you helped me too much, i'm a beginner however right now.
This is my premise: Knowledge, if not shared, is like water that stagnates and rots.
This is the bio that initially caught my attention, and it is affirmative.
Hey @DarthCoin, you got some SN Badges on your
nostrprofile! Now it's time for some Sticky Stickers ;)Thanks. Also I open a substack newsletter with all the guides: https://darthcoin.substack.com/ Here are some of the latest guides on Umbrel Community Forum (will come more) https://community.getumbrel.com/c/guides/14/l/top/all
Hey Just curious, you heard about bitcoin in 2012, did you also get in at that time, or did you mull it over for a while?
Did you read and understand what I wrote in my bio? In which part I said that I left bitcoin?
Yes, l read your bio. Your friend introduced you in 2012. How long did to take to mull over before you bought your first sat? Or at that time you could have easily bought a full bitcoin?
How long? Instantly. My friend sold me my 1st BTC with beer money. And from that moment I never stop accumulating and learning about Bitcoin.
in 2012 you could still mine with your PC easily. I mined for a while too, later start mining with some USB AntMiners.
You’re still a lil pussy ass bitch who has no friends in Real life
I hear you are having personal problems
are you relying on the state for assistance?
This you, Darth?
view on x.comI said many times: I never used twatter fbibook or any crap like that. Impersonators are everywhere.
I see a resemblance!

Do they address currency/money in Star Wars?
Yes, in many places. The imperials have their own credits, both in coin and electronic form.
In the outer rim, where the empire doesn't reach often, planets tend to have their own currencies. Anakin's slavemaster Watto wouldn't accept imperial credits for the hyperdrive repair in episode 1, and wanted 'dactarii' instead. In the Mandolorian, set ~50 years later after the empire fell, the New Republic had it's own currency as well.
it's the force?
Today I was doing the dishes and listening to a podcast here in Brazil (Bitcoin Area) and during the podcast I had a thought that I would like to share with you, if you want to answer I will like it :)
' If bitcoin is constructed in such a way that it is impossible to hack (X).
Does it mean that hackers (Y) together with the +(Y) of all of them, 'starting today' would start their workprojects for improvement'adoption' of bitcoin?
Thinking about it, I started to believe that: It is impossible to Hack (X).
With the birth of bitcoin, you can't doattack (X) it means that it was polished by several (Y,Y,Y) + '
I'm terrible at expressing myself, using a translator, it's not even spoken. But if you don't understand I'll come back to 'ask' in the best possible way for me
Welcome back!
Welcome aboard!
i see your node is slowly dying?
Yes, I let it die. Soon will be shut down. As I said many times now, I stop running routing nodes. I run only private nodes.
Also as a side note... latest Umbrel update is a TOTAL MESS! Never thought it will became such garbage.
yeah umbrel is trash. i will try unbrel soon
Care to say what is specifically bad about it?
I think that for any serious node one should start from a bare bones linux installation.
Can't see myself holding serious amounts (e.g 1BTC for my risk-tolerance) in something that's early phase, node.js, abstracts everything away and etc.
It's a good opportunity to dip your toes.
you say it. barebone linux + bitcoind + lnd/cln, not docker-container from questionable sources

KEEP ON KISSING MY ASS
Everyone knows who you are and how many accounts you have.
says the same guy that posted that under anon account LOL. You are so ridiculous scammer...
Howdy ASSKISSER!!
Now tell the world that you aren't a scammer, shitcoiner, assmilker. You're everything which you're accusing others for.
Those are from an impersonator. Same that tried here some time ago to impersonate me. I never had any twatter account, I never use it. Anybody can impersonate me. You are just pissed off because I revealed your shit and your scams.
You are such a lame scammer that you forgot you created here a fake account trying to impersonate me #493050
What are you pretending you shitcoiner!
is not me. Anybody can impersonate me. Ask that guy to prove he's me on SN.
You forgot to delete the post where you created a fake "darthcoin" account and tried to drag me into some bullshit... #493050
Darthcoin literally sucks sweaty balls
Go stroke your chode
Just know that you have all the personality traits of a true shitcoiner! Namely: arrogant, selfish, elitist, fake, superficial, bully. I can never respect anyone like you.
I fuck your mom in her shithole till she calls me a shitcoiner
This dude is a pussy
Hey fat fuck????? U still a dickless bitch????
Has desertdave licked your shitcoin recently?
Delete that stupid meme you left on my profile !
Right this dude needs to get a life probably 600lbs and haven’t see his dick in years
Hey @Darthshitcoiner What’s your fucking problem? Go pick on Trump supporters, Twitter users, Coinbase users, Bitcoin ETF promoters, KYC Bitcoin buyers. YouTube platform users etc. They’re all fucking shitcoiners like you. Leave me the fuck alone !
the best description of self-described darth vader (in fantasy) but in reality the biggest fattest pile of crap :)
