spent the whole weekend improving my Node setup and did more tests, and accidentally found this https://docs.lightning.engineering/ I thought to myself, what kind of brains come up with these cool things? like I'm good at learning and exploring, but these are people actually building on top of Bitcoin with their own imagination and execution, deep respect for all the builders/devs.🫡

The brains that work at Lightning Labs :)
That is the official documentation for LND and more. They own this domain: https://lightning.engineering/

interesting, but no anon devs? 👀 https://lightning.engineering/team/
I don't know why, maybe the sense of mystery making anon devs are way cooler. oh wait, is @ekzyis also count as an anon? 🫣

Depends on what degree of anonymity you accept as anon. I try to hide my face and real name but that's it. But not sure how much longer I can hide my face, it's pretty annoying in calls. I also usually do show my face in 1on1 calls like with @kr or @itsTomekK from @Alby. In the Alby community call, I covered my face though and @itsTomekK wrote "Free Ross" in the chat because of that I think haha
But I also like to cover my face as a statement on privacy 🤔

I guess you are not @anon anymore 🤔 my definition of anon is no one knows who you are ( your fiat name ) and how you look.
@nemo and @DarthCoin is a good example of an anon. 👀

@nemo and @DarthCoin is a good example of an anon. 👀
Assuming they indeed never linked their name or face to their nyms. I think that could indeed be the case for @nemo but not so sure for @DarthCoin. I would think that at least some people IRL know that he is @DarthCoin online?
reply
Yes, some bitcoiners know me IRL. They even came to my house. But are very few that know me and those ones respect my privacy as I respect theirs.
Yes is hard to keep a certain separation between online nyms and real You.

indeed that page is very very good resource.
I suggest to look at this one, for your node (if you run a public routing node): https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lnd/optimal-configuration-of-a-routing-node

Villagers used to go to someone's home with pitchforks when they were accused of doing something bad. And I think Umbrel got some bad reactions on SN in the past but maybe I don't remember correctly.
So this was just a joke that was apparently not very funny since I had to explain it haha
