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

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:
“I 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; “Here’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
Which words should we never say? Which words should we use instead?

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.

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
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!

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.

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.

Nothing more frustrating then having node issues away from home. I swear tor is killing the lightning network
reply
72 sats \ 0 replies \ @nym 17 Oct
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?

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

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.
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?"
“Yoga 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.” (“Roots 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:

Jurisdiction

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
43 sats \ 10 replies \ @ek 17 Oct
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:

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?

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