The sad truth with "pleb nodes" that many people do not want to see it or talk about...
No matter how many talks and documentation will be written, people do not listen or read. They just want fast "passive income".
Did you read the links above and my guides?
See Blixt, ShockWallet, Breez (the old one not the crap "nodeless"). Also for desktop you have onchain only Bitcoin-Safe wallet using CBF.
which one? I am already using like 10 wallets LOL

Bitcoin is a natural selection...
No joke, I wrote so many guides about these aspects and I got tired of doing it. People literally don't want to read in order to learn this stuff. They prefer to complain instead of using their brain.
I am here on SN almost 24/7 ready to help, I am also on TG groups ready to help. Is staggering the amount of people that don't read some fucking simple FAQ pages.
Most of users are clueless about how CBF / neutrino works and they use shity connectionns and/or unnecessary Tor to connect.
This is the biggest mistake users are doing: use Tor (because "privacy") with a neutrino node. Is totally useless Tor and is only adding more latency !
I wrote several guides for Blixt and Zeus about these aspects, but yet people do not get the basic networking:
- #882167
- #1332473
- https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/faq#what-should-i-do
- https://blixtwallet.github.io/faq#no-sync
People don't want to READ ! And they confuse download speed with response time (ping).
Neutrino is great but is having bad time syncing from shity networks.
I never have issues syncing because yes I know which neutrino peer is good for my location and/or use my own node with neutrino to sync. But most of users, if they don't even read the FAQ pages, will never know these tricks, and just complain.
Node runners should really consider activating CBF on their nodes, especially for local friends that have issues connecting to well known distanced neutrino peers.
As some will say "run your own electrum server" I will say "add neutrino to your bitcoin node" as I made this call some time ago: #485324 and offer CBF to your local friends.
Don't be fooled by their words that you wish to hear. They are masters of disguise behind words.
I just imagine a farmer in african savana, living his peaceful life with his animals and Kill Gates coming with a stupid device telling telling them that they have to use that AI crap to grow "efficiently" and "environmentally" their cows.... people that maybe don't even understand what is "environment" or use a simple phone and frankly they don't give a shit.
Check this out the idiocy...

😂😂😂😂😂
they should start throwing cow shit into Bill Gates...
This guy is using AI from Bill Gates LOL he's "vibe coding" now
Most of people get confused when I say that I live on BTC and don't care about price.
But their confusion come from their own mind because they are still valuing their work effort in fiat hours and sometimes even worse, they accept whatever price for their work, without knowing how much is their spending budget. That's why so many people enter in DEBT.
The most important thing for a bitcoin life is NEVER ENTER IN DEBT.
If you cannot afford something, then just delay its acquiring or forget it at all until you have enough sats to buy it.
And...
despite actually cloning the repo and telling myself several times that doing so would be a better use of my electricity bill than running a lightning node.
@remindme in 1 year
I am also paid in BTC. Practically living on BTC standard from many years now,
My calculation is quite simple when is about to charge a service I do.
- I take the time dedicated to doing that specific job.
- I usually keep track of my expenses in sats and make a medium cost / h or per day. Then make a medium cost for each period of 3 or 6 or 12 months, as refernce.
- then apply that cost in sats to the hours dedicated to that service + 30% markup
And that is the "price" I charge directly in sats without giving a shit of the BTC price in fiat. I don't care about fees, I don't care about the price. I will always earn more than I spend.
Stacking sats means primarily to earn more sats then you spend in a specific period of time.
SN is again flooded with shitcoiners assmilkers.
@k00b please consider removing the rewards. It attracts shitcoiners like flies to shit and soon SN will be the new crappy reddit.
One thing is to start learning from zero in 2019 and listen to others advice and another thing is that in 2025 are still public nodes with channels of 100k sats... for "routing" they say. And more than that they just open these shity channel between 2 big nodes, thinking that they will route and grab some fees. In fact they just bottleneck the network.
You can still learn more to run a LN node using PRIVATE channels, that do not affect so much the routing of others.
