Friend @DarthCoin, this proposal is excellent—I’m a huge fan of nuts. I believe they should be a staple in every human’s diet, just like bread and cheese. Here, we can only find peanuts and roasted cashew nuts, which have to be roasted outside the house because the smoke they give off is toxic.

Honey was my ally during a tough time in my life when I ate nothing but honey for a week. Cocoa is a fruit from the eastern region here, and whenever I get the chance to buy some from those who bring it, I love it. So, I would truly enjoy having a delicacy like the one you’re showing. Thanks for sharing!

In my case, I use the Community's custodial wallet, where I only keep very basic funds—up to 10k SAT, and sometimes less. I use Phoenix as a self-custody wallet because I live in a country with probably one of the worst internet connections out there. I was using Blixt, but I had to stop because of synchronization issues. However, I am in favor of full self-custody. Even for merchants who want to run their own node with their own LNbits to manage multiple wallets and extensions, the suggestion here is Phoenixd + LNbits on a VPS.

I really appreciate your suggestion; it will be another option we will consider. We will read all the documentation and test the solution. I reiterate my gratitude.

Thank you for your words. Truly understanding these basic aspects of the fiduciary system could help people turn to Bitcoin, although some realize they’re being robbed and still cling to fiat. Layer 0—that is, people—can be strange at times.

🇬🇧 English I’m sharing my personal repository “Fundamentos Técnicos de Bitcoin”, where I’m publishing my study notes and articles from the Librería de Satoshi course on Bitcoin’s technical foundations. It’s a work-in-progress aimed at learners who want to understand Bitcoin from the ground up—covering its history, cryptographic principles, and technical design.

Thanks my friend.

Hello. Actually, this solution exists because the tools are already built, so anyone with a bit of curiosity and need can combine them—especially now that LNbits allows for a more seamless integration with Phoenixd. In Cuba, it's a solution for those who want self-custody on ultra-slow connections and with limited resources, since with just 21.5k SAT, you can open a 2M SAT channel. But regarding this particular post, I don't know anything. I hope I can meet the author of the post, who is a doctor like me, to exchange experiences and see what they've achieved. That's all I can say.

It doesn't matter. Min channel size 1M SAT

1M SAT

Thanks to everyone who commented and contributed valuable insights in this thread! Your feedback and encouragement helped us complete the first version of the guide for using LNbits with Phoenixd as a self-custodial Lightning solution.

We’ve just published a detailed step-by-step guide for implementing this setup on Linux x64, which could be especially useful for merchants or users in regions with limited connectivity or infrastructure.

Thank you very much, my friend @DarthCoin, always with your great recommendations. We all have to be very careful when using public nodes for routing. It’s always great to have your help.

Thank you for the suggestion. However, one of the key challenges we face is synchronization with Neutrinos. If Zeus alone could resolve this—given its integrated POS system—it would largely address the issue.

We did evaluate the LND + Neutrinos option, but latency constraints in our environment make it impractical. Currently, we’re operating LNbits + LND in custodial mode via the community node, though our priority now is achieving greater sovereignty: your own node, your own LNbits instance with tailored extensions (including LNDHub), and even self-hosted BTCPay Server if desired. The main obstacle, however, remains our extremely slow internet connection.

Thanks a lot. You are helping me with other posts.
