hi all, we're looking for lightning-interested peeps to test our disposable node service....
right we're giving out 25k sats to each person who does the test steps so you have some funds to play with on your node ...
the steps on how to do this here: rizful.com/get_free_sats (let us know if anything is unclear...)
you can also get a general overview of what we're up to on the home page rizful.com thanks
rizful.com
Link in the post doesn't work. The one up the top does.
Thanks much. Should be fixed now.
Rizful is designed both for short-term use by experienced Lightning operators, who might need a secondary node for testing or etc.... and also for classroom use, so a group of new users can all be onboarded to lightning in an understandable way.
I see @megalithic is behind this, excellent! thanks for setup this and offer to the pleb.
very good idea ! I like it!
“Rizful was created by the team behind The Megalith Node,“
I have a channel with this node. Very reliable. Fees are a tad high but it’s dependable
What’s this all about? Can this be done on mobile
Yeah, it's web-based. Should work well on mobile. See https://rizful.com/ ... #11. Accessing your node from any 📱💻 device...
Web-based has tradeoffs, but we want this work well for people who might have low-powered devices, Chromebooks, etc.
This looks very cool!
Would you also see a use case for this as a permanent node?
EDIT:
For a permanent node..... right now, we don't want to push people in that direction just yet. Right now it's something to have fun with and try out Lightning and Nostr stuff in a low-commitment and "instant" way.
Sounds great. I will try to free up some time tonight to play with this.
Who's behind the Megalith node? Anything to do with LND and their Taproot assets?
Thanks. You will be among our first users, we launched this a few days ago. Much appreciated if you can flag any issues you run into.
Dude who wrote these docs: https://docs.megalithic.me/
Also for education. It's really designed so a classroom of students can be up and running on the LN and Nostr literally within minutes.
There are other solutions for permanent nodes. But there isn't really a Lightning solution that prioritizes FAST create/destroy on nodes, and each account being able to quickly start multiple nodes.... (As far as we know. ) It might bring up use new use cases.
Your page shows a Testnet option - can I ask what version of Testnet are you using?
See #14 here - https://rizful.com/ -- actually we entirely built Rizful using Testnet3, but realized that if we rolled it out to users with Testnet3, we were in for big problems -- Testnet3 is so broken now that it's basically impossible to open and close lighting channels without MAJORLY tweaking various defaults.. fees are so high on Testnet3 that most node implemenations will actually fail to do cooperative closes! But we are very psyched to roll out Testnet4 support as soon as we can -- ideally next month. It's critical for the education use-case.
Are these LND nodes?
Yes. Under the hood we are doing a bunch of stuff to run LND nodes in the cloud.
wasn't more easier using Greenlight, as for disposable?
It's interesting. What LN implementation is behind? Or is using Greenlight? Oh and you have also NWC support. Cool!
Thanks. It's based on LND nodes + a lot of custom software we've written. Running lots o LND nodes in the cloud might seem simple at first, but just getting it to the point where they can be started, stopped, moved between instances, restored, etc., -- all reliability... ended up being really complicated....
Lost me at discord. Flotilla exists: https://github.com/coracle-social/flotilla
Good luck with your new service, though!
Yeah, we would like to not use Discord. Does Flotilla have something user-friendly yet? We're all-in on Nostr but need to be sure that the system we use to communicate with new users while they are onboarding isn't too hard to use.
Solid points. Flotilla is not mainstream yet.
What do you think of nip-60?
Looks great, is the offer still on?
Offer is still on but to manage the pace of onboarding the offer is now 11k sats... please see here: https://rizful.com/get_free_sats
got stack at step 8.
The LN invoice does not load. Ad blocker off, so not sure what else could cause an issue...
On our end we see a few users who HAVE generated invoices but have NOT contacted us yet on Discord. I wonder if you are one of these people.
Thanks much. Any chance you could join our Discord and we can troubleshoot this?
joined
Rizful is 5 star, that's my review.
Thanks!
