Bitcoin needs at least a million more users to survive in its current state but lets see?

I think i have discovered a paradox. If hyper bitcoinization becomes a thing, if Bitcoin becomes something that is widely adopted and everyone has a wallet, then premium models for business will probably become more widespread. Freemium wont be as widespread. The paradox is that alot of the technology that powers Bitcoin and so on, is opensource and largely maintained by volunteers. So just to be clear, as bitcoin becomse more widespread so does the possibility of monetizing your software projects and what not, and the whole opensource, free software thing may take a hit?

People will still do things for free, but more people will have a choice to charge.

Big, if true.
In Denmark people are stealing each other's pellets, wire wood, wood briquettes as soon as they are delivered. To make matters worse there are constant reports of cars having their tanks drilled and the gas stolen. Unreal, never seen anything like it.

I got really tired of trying to make zeus or bluewallet work over tor to talk to bitcoin and lightning services running at home. Was thinking about setting up tailscale for everything. Found (nebula)[https://github.com/slackhq/nebula] which looks a lot like an open source tailscale (not using wireguard, but still using NOISE-based cryptography; interesting and I wonder why they're not just doing wireguard. need to go read the code and do some poking). Set it up last night and so far its working great. I have a "lighthouse" (host that's used for peer discovery and NAT traversal) running on a $3/month ec2 instance. It's just used for initial connnection bootstrapping (like what tailscale does) and then from there it's all mesh. I have my phone able to get to my lightning node and bluewallet on my phone able to get to my electrs instance, etc. Going to play with it a bunch over the next few weeks. Could be a really nice solution for folks running services at home that need an easy multi-device VPN

Making steady progress on my Midjourney Discord bot using LN invoices. Integrating LNBits for the LN invoices was very easy! Just had to take a closer look; I missed the custodial solution first somehow, lol. Love it so far.

Making steady progress in my cabin project 🙂 Yesterday I managed to work on the roof and lay some plywood on the walls. Today, I guess more of the same is coming my way 🙂
Have a great day ahead!

Where are you grabbing this data from?
I have only been here for a few days, but it feels like home and I am sure many Bitcoiners feel the same and just simply do not know that this platform exists yet. I want to see it continue to grow.

I maintain a table on Google Sheets. It's easy to see the date for each milestone since it is part of the URL for each comment or post. e.g., for post 80,000
#80000
It got too voluminous to list from the beginning. The last one where I had shared the full table was from September.

Withdrawals from SN seem to complete much faster since the maintenance the other day. Is SN's node still using Tor?

It is. When I did maintenance the other day, I noticed lnd had very high memory usage. Upgrading might've fixed whatever was causing that.
