Yeah I wrote to him on the nostr, I'll see what he says.

I wanted to also public verify hahaha

I mean liquid btc, BTC on the liquid network

sad, is this because the way the nodes store state is so different? or does it have to do with the actual open channel transaction?

Thank you! I'll check it out

yesss

one is buying ASICS that are hosted somewhere efficient and mining bitcoin with it. the other is just buying it and that is it.

my brother in christ, that is why I'm asking for alternatives in the eu for river it's not cloud mining they just host my ASICS

nono I mean having mining exposure

I had a friend that was crowed funding fund for the medical treatment of her mom, he lives in an authoritarian country and my bank system and his are very disconnected ( I would have lost about 7% of what I was sending thanks to fees).

I asked him if I could pay him in Bitcoin, he said yes. 40 mins later he had the money.

It would have taken at least 1 day for the money to clear on the traditional system. so yeah that was my "this is serious" moment.

as a note about 2 months later, one of the government owned banks, one of the few that allowed for using dollars got... "hacked" and a bunch of people got basically robbed of their funds.

also made the question in the lnd github and stack overflow https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/discussions/7773 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76497734/grpc-connection-error-causedasendentity-using-rust-tonic

;)

simplest stuff is: "not your keys, not your coins"

one complex: would be the balance of miners and nodes on activating softforks and hardforks and why you don't trust either one or the other. I don't even get this totally myself yet
