Was stressing over my node last night. Opened a fat sat channel to zero fee routing and the channel was dead! Couldn’t even force close it. I messaged zero fee on telegram zero said the channel wasn’t signed and to restart my node. Did that this morning and now I’m back up and running. Currently rebalancing and routing payments again. Re established my BOS telegram bot. Feeling quite accomplished today. Today I might tackle the tunneling to clearnet project. Hopefully I don’t ruin my node.

We're continuing to build the Lightsats project 🚀 for the BOLT 🔩 FUN Legends of Lightning ⚡️ Tournament.

The team is all over the place, I'm in Miami 🌴 we got a member in Thailand and others in EU.

Project is coming a long well and I'm super stoked to be working on this, mainly because ever since I fell down the rabbit hole 🕳🐇 I knew right away I wanted to build something to help with adoption. But didn't have the technical background to start building something on my own.

So a magical 🧙‍♂️ moment happened on Twitter where a Bitcoin OG asked the community if anyone was building a solution to a problem he seemed to be having. "How can I gift sats to newbies without having to onboard them and also without losing them in case the person is not interested?"

That's when I decided to take on this challenge with our team and come up with something that us bitcoiners can use as a tool to orange 🍊 💊 tip/gift no-coiners with the reassurance that if the person does not show interest in learning or exploring the funds are recoverable, but in case they are how does the user self-onboards themselves to explore the possibilities of Bitcoin.

We're now in week 2 of the tournament and we cranked out a fully functional proof of concept here yet there are still many features that need to be added, one of the most important one is being able to login via LNURL-auth since we all bitcoiners care about privacy and don't want to give out personal information.

In case anyone wants to take it for a spin please do, but make sure you do very small amount of sats and also you can use a service like Mailinator to create disposable email addresses.

Have been making steady progress in my little cabin project 🙂

I’ve had a lot of stuff to do at once during the last few days and didn’t really have time for my cell or laptop. Despite all the difficulties, I managed to finish the roof and cover most of the building with permeable membrane. I also installed some kind of rooftop fall protection with my slackline, some shackles and carabiners 🙂 (top of the roof is nearly 4 meters high)

Anyways, here’s some photos from the recent days :)

Today I’ll work on covering the remaining part of the cabin with the membrane.

Have a good one ahead!
