After almost 3.5 years running my umbrel raspi I am sunsetting it for good. While I gave up on being a routing node and closed all the channels and opened one big private channel to wallet of Satoshi it become much more stable.
I was using it for zaps and other small ln purchases/donations but today my node randomly went down. After power cycling asking for help on telegram (and getting ignored) I reflashed the SD card and it came back.
But I’m over this node being unstable. So time to close the last channel and sweep the funds. This was my first successful node and I feel sad moving on from it but after today now it is time. I’ll retire and store it away with my other bitcoin hardware.
My casa node
My nodl
And my Coinmine 😂
Now maybe I’ll get the purposely built umbrel node. I love that I can self host NWC and use tailscale with Zeus! That alone makes me want to stay with umbrel.
I've known so many people who wanted to be musicians but concluded it was hopeless.
I've been wondering how differentiated their music was or if they were just trying to create music that mostly compared and competed with everyone else's.
That's what I'd guess. When I'm listening to music, I'm not seeking the 50th greatest band in the genre. But I frequently look for something I haven't heard before.
Howdy everyone!!! Hump day is here and the week has been rather busy but awesome, classroom almost finished and platform almost setup, so all is going great, I wish you a fantastic day and weekend is almost here so let's give it our absolute best, you, my friend are incredible and never forget that, you matter and you're important. May your day be filled with success!!! Be well and stay frosty!!!
Work went very well yesterday. Took on a job for a boat, woohoo, billable work!
I also heard they hired a yard electrician, so I will be able to focus on boat work, and not on fixing all the random broken crap in the yard. Also did an impromptu podcast with @1EastSideTony until it was well past my bed time, but we had a nice time shooting the shit and talking about some of my event planning.
I'm planning for a Bitcoin Vortex in October, which involves the local meetups all happening in the same week.
I also am in the brainstorm stage of a yet unnamed, ticketed, intimate, multi-day Bitcoin event for next Spring to fill in the cultural gap of the Bitcoin Conference leaving my Miami. Set the first planning meeting for 6pm Eastern Time, September 6! Anyone interested in helping organize it can save the date and get in touch with me.
