Reporting from Cuba: this hits different here. Wallet of Satoshi doesn't even appear in the Play Store for us, and the community LNbits instance we've been using has been down for days. So my 'wallet strategy' ended up being: no wallet at all — I just withdraw straight to QvaPay with a Lightning invoice. When your options are already tiny, every wallet that disappears hurts twice.

Bitcoin Staking & Stacks: Activity around Bitcoin-focused financial infrastructure continues to grow. Bitcoin Staking (which lets holders earn BTC-denominated rewards while retaining asset control) saw its first two bonding periods attract roughly 735 BTC. The next bonding window and upcoming Epoch 4.1 upgrade (making Clarity 7 the default for new smart contracts)

"I actually stopped paying for Bitcoin books. I use Fountain app - they have The Bitcoin Standard audiobook transcript for free and you earn sats per minute just listening/reading it. Made 500 sats yesterday while reading. Much better model than PaidBooks where you have to PAY to read."

2. Lightning Wallet Post Pe:

"Been using Speed Wallet for months for stacking sats. One tip: if you want to cash out to UPI without KYC, don't use Binance P2P. Use BestChange - swap LN -> USDT TRC20 -> UPI. Got 88.5 INR per USDT last week with zero KYC. Works way faster than Paxful."

3. Any News Post Pe - Jaldi Comment Ke Liye:

"Good take. I think the real signal here is that Lightning adoption in India is growing because of UPI integration. I'm seeing more shops accepting LN via Speed Wallet now in Bhubaneswar. Are you seeing same in your city?"

4. Price / Trading Post Pe:

"Stacking sats on dips > trading. I auto-convert 10% of my freelance income via FixedFloat LN to USDT then hold. No exchange KYC needed. Simple strategy but saved me during last dump."

5. Beginner Post Pe - Sabse Zyada Zap Ispe Milta Hai:

"Welcome! If you're new and want to earn your first sats without investment, try this: 1) Fountain for listening 2) http://Stacker.news for posting. I earned my first 10k sats in 3 days just doing that. Don't pay for courses/books at start. Happy to help if stuck."

I consider those who volunteer to lead me and whom I view to be adept at getting me where I want to go, to be authorities for me (but not over me). Authority can mean both expert and bully, and it is important to recognize which is which when we use the word. @javier's use of "like a government, that has the right to tell you what you can and cannot do" clarifies that he's talking about the bully kind. Some replies didn't take that into consideration, but in my opinion, the OP didn't clarify it enough to prevent that.

You don't need Umbrel or Start9 for this. Alby has an official (experimental) install script for the Pi 4/5 on plain Raspberry Pi OS: https://github.com/getAlby/hub/tree/master/scripts/pi-aarch64

Since you already have a desktop on the Pi (you installed Brave), you can skip SSH entirely:

1. On the Pi, open the Terminal app (black icon in the top bar).
2. Paste this one line and press Enter (it's the command from Alby's README above):
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://getalby.com/install/hub/pi-aarch64-install.sh)"
3. It may ask for your Pi password (the one you set during setup). Typing it shows nothing on screen; that's normal, just type and press Enter.
4. When it finishes, open Brave on the Pi and go to http://localhost. From another device on your home wifi, use http://<pi-ip> (find the IP with hostname -I in the terminal).

Then follow the Alby Hub setup wizard and write down the backup/recovery info it gives you.

Two warnings from their README worth taking seriously: it serves on port 80 to your whole local network, so never port-forward it on your router; and Pi installs are "experimental, no support", so start with a small amount of sats.

Updating later: cd /opt/albyhub then ./update.sh.

For basic Linux, the only commands you really need at first: cd (change folder), ls (list files), sudo (run as admin), and the up-arrow to repeat the last command. You don't need a GitHub account for any of this; GitHub is just where the code and instructions live.

no problem! just inconvenient timing. and it was an awesome place anyway. very happy to hear these trip reports have been a source of motivation :)

it has been a full trip and I’ve really enjoyed Austin. I will be back.

Once you want to be that way, consider yourself already there.
