Anyone else having problems zapping using NWC send? I can't zap anyone. The connection looks fine.

reply

Darth was right again?

reply

Testing my Alby Hub setup right now. I was able to zap on desktop and with AlbyGo.

reply

I have been using it for weeks. For some reason send stopped working tonight.

reply

I wasn't able to zap for about an hour yesterday using NWC with Coin.os, not sure what it was either.

reply

Weird. I just reconnected with fresh secrets phrase and it seems to be working fine now.

reply

Will rake for sats!

How many sats should I give her for 30 minutes of raking fun?

reply

Go with sat-cent parity. Ten bucks is reasonable enough, so 10 kilosats is pretty fair.

reply

20k sats, never do anything for free that you're good at :)

reply

I feel like child labour should be cheaper. She mostly played. 10k sats sounds about right to me.

@DarthCoin

Don't you think that every person should be given a chance to mend his ways?

Isn't it bullying?

Since you are quoting the master, here are two other quotes from him:

β€œI don't like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.'" Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, "We're the So-and-Sos," take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it's unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead and join. But don't participate; it will be your death. And if they tell you you're not a team player, congratulate them on being observant.” -- George Carlin

Are we recruiting for 'team toxic maxis"?

Religion is nothing but mind control. Religion is just trying to control your mind, control your thoughts, so they’re gonna tell you some things you shouldn’t say because they’re…sins. And besides telling you things you shouldn’t say, religion is gonna suggest some things that you ought to be saying; β€œHere’s something you ought to say first thing when you wake up in the morning; here’s something you ought to say just before you go to sleep at night; here’s something we always say on the third Wednesday in April after the first full moon in spring at 4 o’clock when the bells ring.” Religion is always suggesting things you ought to be saying. -- George Carlin

I'd request you to let them settle in for a bit here. He's a newbie for SN. If they don't get mingled among us, they would never change.

This in fact harms SN than help it grow. After such bullying, do you think he gonna return and read, comment, post, zap?

reply

Bitcoin it is where it is today because of toxic maxis.
If shitcoiners will not be slapped from the beginning, they will always try to shitcoinize SN and Bitcoin.

They get what they fucking deserve: only shit.

I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH THING.
Be aware that you are not far from that shitcoiner... do not put my patience at test...
Should I remind you always this crap?

reply

I know how to deal with the bullies. Stay in your pyjamas.

You don't get it and that's where the problem is. I'm talking about adding more people to the Bitcoin community and here to SN. I know all will never change but some can change. Some have changed. I've changed.

Just suppose, if I had left SN because of you bullying me early on for may linguistic problems, Can I be at a stage as Bitcoiner where I'm now.

Think broadly, you dumb wise man!

reply
adding more people to the Bitcoin community

NOT shitcoiners. They must come to the light first. Do not bring me shit or I will treat you with shit.

if I had left SN because of you bullying me early on

I don't give a shit. Bitcoin do not need shitcoiners pretending to be bitcoiners. bitcoin needs strong brave men.

reply

I Elizabeth Warren has her way, there won’t be any bitcoiners in America, only CBDC shitcoiners. Talk about shitcoin CBDC should be floating at the top of the pool of scum.

reply

You can never get it because you're obsessed with yourself and your mindset.

There are all Bitcoiners here but only you bully noobs because you don't have tolerance and you think you're the only one who's right.

reply
"crypto", "blockshain space", "defi"...

All that is NOT bitcoin. Stop defending a shitcoiner.

We'll probably have some lightning node maintenance this weekend (e.g. attached wallets won't work). I'll do a proper announcement day of, a sleepy sat/sunday, but prepare thyself.

reply

Are any issues with Alby connections on your radar?

reply

No what are you seeing?

reply

I probably made a mistake setting it up, but I wasn't able make an NWC receiving connection from my Alby Hub. I forget what the error message was exactly ("failed test transaction" maybe).

I had previously connected my getAlby wallet, which was working for autowithdrawals but not manual withdrawals. Now that I've set my preferred balance to zero, it's not making any withdrawals. Another stacker, @0xbitcoiner I think, mentioned having a similar issue.

I'm working through a weird Alby Hub issue at the moment, but I'll attempt to set up those connections as soon as I can.

reply

I was having problems with the attached wallet (alby extension. WebLN and Lightning address). I wasn't receiving via p2p, only autowithdraws. So I deactivated it, and today I activated it again to see if it was resolved, but so far I haven't received any zaps!

reply

We'll ship better error logging soon, which should help us all diagnose issues easier.

In the meantime, mention me with details and I'll help you troubleshoot.

Now that I've set my preferred balance to zero, it's not making any withdrawals.

Make sure your Max Fee is >0. If it's 0 we'll only send you sats if the route is free.

Totally agree! clr and realBitcoinCat are killing it today. clr's the one with the wizard strategy from a while back, and cat just dropped a bomb with his post 🀠

reply

Those damned wizards.

reply

I'm not worried about the wizards. Actually, they're nailing it when it comes to curating content. They either know the stackers really well or they're just lucky. I start to get worried, not for me but for the SN, if they can keep this up.

edit: @OneOneSeven
I'm feeling rather adrift without my attached wallet. It's like a cowboy without his trusty steed or six-shooter.🀠

Lost my horse. Then my pistol. Holding on to my hat though. Some serious winds blowing through.

Even @siggy47 and @k00b lost their pistols.

reply

As a nooby, I would just like to ask a question. What are the pistols and horses about after the nyms?

reply

You're not a nobody. You are a rothbaridan fanatic. That's bound to be pretty popular on SN.

They are new badges that tie to SN going non custodial. You get them for accomplishing certain metrics when you attach an external wallet. I thought I knew exactly how it worked but clearly not since I don't have my horse or gun anymore.

reply

OhhhhAhhhhh….. finally some satisfaction!!!!!!

Nothing more frustrating then having node issues away from home. I swear tor is killing the lightning network

reply

I agree. I've gone with local only, and just try not to use it when away.

reply
I swear tor is killing the lightning network

I scream out loud that for several years.
Yet people still run LN nodes over Tor.
Just run a private node. There's no need for public nodes over Tor. Those are doing more damage then good to the whole network.

If you really want to run a public LN node but still want to hide your home / private location from where you run the node machine, just do this:

  • buy a cheap 5 bucks VPS with a public IP
  • run a VPN tunnel with wireguard between that VPS and your node
  • your node will use that VPS IP as "public IP", not your home IP.

Done, you will have a nice node on clearnet that never fail.

Tor is NOT suitable for LN nodes.

reply

@DarthCoin it looks like you are also into cybersecurity. Is that the case?

reply

Yeah tired of my node randomly not working. Star9 doesn’t allow you to run LND via clearnet

reply

Tracks for the tip. Was thinking about buying one from them, but maybe I’ll keep looking.

reply

Start9 is not a bad hardware, is one of the best, also the software is good.
The problem here is Tor... Tor with LN nodes is a really bad combination.

reply

See more options here, including a private LND node
https://darth-coin.github.io/nodes/private-ln-nodes-en.html

reply

I will read. Will rethink my approach to LN nodes

reply

here is a great video tutorial how to use wireguard with a VPS, by 402 Payment required. Great tutorials channel.

view on www.youtube.com
reply

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying you should not run a node.
I am just pointing out an important aspect that many users do not know: we have 2 types of nodes, public and private and each could be run in different ways.
As I explained here #486306 and here:
https://darth-coin.github.io/nodes/managing-lightning-node-liquidity-en.html

reply

I know. I just had this dream of running a routing node for the overall good of the Network. But it’s starting to feel a bit naive.

The node that I can’t connect to was my routing/ln payments node. But as soon as my SN zaps were failing I knew my node has issues. I was also using that node to sell channels on magma. The node would be fine if it was clearnet but it’s behind tor and I wonder if it’s Tor or something else going on with my software that is causing the random outrages

reply

Just do this:

  • buy a cheap 5 bucks VPS with a public IP
  • run a VPN tunnel with wireguard between that VPS and your node
  • your node will use that VPS IP as "public IP", not your home IP.

Voila! Your node is fully on clearnet and will not have issues anymore.
Thank me later.

The question "What is Yoga?" is as complex and elusive of a rabbit hole as is the question "What is Money?"

β€œYoga is a particularly polyvalent Sanskrit word, which, in ordinary usage, may signify joining or attaching, a means or method or way, profit or wealth, a trick or deceit, an undertaking or business, mixing, putting together or ordering, suitability, diligence or magic.”
(β€œRoots of Yoga” by James Mallinson and Mark Singleton)

I recently came across this cool little video as well which takes us through the evolution of the word and the practice from the first records that we know of it, to how we generally perceive it today in the West:

JurisdictionJurisdiction

Jurisdiction can be a complicated issue, when dealing with the legal system; however it is not when dealing with common law.

In simple terms within common law, equity law and democratic law, you just need to prove knowledge of, or show you have personal knowledge or subject matter on the issue.

A true constable of the law, not restrained by crown law, would be able to uphold law regardless of the location of the person who has committed the crime.

Police work for corporations, and as all governments are also corporations, with their own separate policies, the police from one corporate jurisdiction cannot cross into another corporate jurisdiction.

This is easily shown within the United States of America, where the criminal needs to get across the state line.

This is a question for @k00b or @ek, but it doesn't warrant a full post so I stuck it here. I was tracking the flow of sats through my node this morning, and I don't think I received daily rewards, although my account indicates they were sent at the usual time. I did get a lot of activity a few hours earlier. Is it possible

  1. The rewards were not sent, or
  2. They were sent a few hours early?
reply

Not sure I understand. You see a notification that the rewards were withdrawn but don't see the payment in your node? You can click on the notification to get the payment hash and preimage. Maybe that helps you with finding it.

reply

Here's a screenshot:

reply

I assume you have autodelete withdrawal invoices enabled in your settings? But Is this withdrawal from today? They should only get deleted after 7 days.

Is this the invoice you get if you click on the withdrawal notification after rewards?

reply

BTW, the invoice screenshot you sent is what I see every day.

reply

I only picked out one of many that all happened today. These were deleted between preimage and hash. I believe it is the first time this happened, and no settings were changed.

One more thing: Payments before and since have all been fine. This just happened with my daily rewards invoices.

reply

I created an issue for this: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/1485

I suspect we have a bug in invoice deletion that caused them to be prematurely deleted.

reply

Found the bug. I'll deploy the fix tomorrow.

Thanks for reporting!

reply

Fix is deployed. Your outgoing invoices won't be prematurely deleted now.

More information if needed. These deleted invoices show a preimage, but no payment hash.

reply

The invoices for the payments in question are marked "deleted"

reply

I'll check later when I get home.
