ok, I was about to make an ugly systemd service for nothing I see haha. Thx darth
Excellent guide, as always. I have two questions, if anybody could help me:
- I get that if my node is unresponsive (due to my computer being off) channel partners will force close when payment fails. Would it apply too with private (non-announced) channels?
- For a VPS, what's the difference between the 'regular' hub and Alby server?
I'm not technical about bitcoin, but consider myself tech savvy. My take is: in any setting you ALWAYS should have backups, so, I'm not seeing HWW as the security panacea because even if it's virtually impossible to exfiltrate data from the devices, your seed/words/etc should also be in a different medium, which is not likely to be more secure. You know, the whole setup security is as secure as the weakest link and that... That being said, I do think they're amazing devices and the use cases I see are a. convenient secure signing (though on-chain txs will likely become less frequent); b. secure seed generation, with considerations.
My take is that a 1 key (12 words) + passphrase, backed up in different locations with redundancy is as secure as you probably need without risking losing funds due to overengineering the crap out of your wallets. I dunno, just random thougts, I hear opinions
Well, don't praise much yet. First, that 25% comes after him winning the elections (as the spike in august for the primary). I don't blame him, but that were two exogenous spikes (I mean exogenous from the policies impacts). AND he's delaying things with an expected impact on the inflation numbers, namely ending subsidies for energy and transport, paying due debts, and a few more.
I use zsh. It's great, but I don't use it for anything that bash can't provide. Fish is not POSIX-compliant (not that I care, and probably neither you), and excellent out of the box, you should try it
I gotta say vim. The editor by itself is great, but when you start applying the vim-like mindset to your toolbox (ie small, composable tools, vim bindings, keyboard centrism, etc) you really step up. That and window managers. I'm on i3 but really it's a matter of choice
Oh, yes, that's what they said. Many of us warned about him being a fraud and just engaging in 'chad-like discourse' without solid foundations. The party has no experience in anything meaningful and is revealing its true nature: a group of improvisers. The Economy Minister (who claims to have received the worst economic inheritance in history) also held the position during the Macri period, and he was the one who secured the largest loan ever from the IMF. Milei has already reinstated the income tax that he himself voted for just a month ago. And, with no real impact on the economy but merely to showcase his true colors, one of their very first decisions (after preaching about the political class privileges for months) was to repeal a law preventing relatives from being hired for him, and appointing his sister as an assistant, with an accompanying big salary of course
well, if lightning is actually a network of peers moving htlcs (simplifying a lot, I know), whomever wants to use NFT could connect in a network of peers in a LN fashion but apart from it, so the trades and stuff don't eat the LN liquidity? I know they still have the commitment txs, but once they mint their things it's done, they get the bitcoin hashrate security in a way that impacts a little less the mempools, right? If the nfts/ordinals/etc are really demanded, I think the minting will eventually slow down and the trades will be the primary use, otherwise it wouldn't make a difference. Am I in the right direction?
Every bitcoin you "have" in your wallet is actually an UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output, ie. a number) locked with your private key (I'm simplifying for the sake of the point). When a malicious entity - such as a state, exchange, wasabi wallet, etc- doesn't like someone, instructs to not accept that UTXO, so, your bitcoins would be "tainted" and not accepted. They cannot stop you from sending them your sats, but just act as if no transfer took place. If it's a wallet-level blockage you actually couldn't stream the transaction. The solution would be a combination of mixing, swapping, etc, I guess. DYOR, I'm not 100% sure I got it right all the points, it's an entry.
