my zbd wallet doesn't seem to work with SN here due to

ERROR invalid invoice: Invoice expiration is too soon

what does that mean? 🀠

reply

From ChatGPT:

Yes, Yuri Bezmenov (1939–1993) was a former KGB agent and Soviet journalist who defected to the West in 1970. After his defection, he became known for his lectures and interviews about Soviet subversion tactics and psychological warfare.

Bezmenov explained the KGB’s methods for ideological subversion, a long-term process aimed at destabilizing societies without the need for open conflict. He outlined four stages: 1. Demoralization: Undermining a country’s moral, cultural, and educational institutions over decades. 2. Destabilization: Targeting the economy, law enforcement, and social systems to create instability. 3. Crisis: Provoking major societal or governmental disruptions. 4. Normalization: Consolidating control under a new system or regime once the old order collapses.

His insights gained attention during the Cold War and have been revisited in modern times due to concerns about foreign influence in politics and media. He often warned the West about complacency and ideological manipulation.

Do you have a specific question about him?

@petertodd, I think your lightning address is caching invoices with the same amount, which prevents me from zapping you 100 sats for #863991, since it returns an invoice SN has already seen.

For example, this always returns the same invoice in my browser but a different one with curl (but after that, also always the same one with curl). I can bypass the cache by adding some random parameter to the URL.

Also, your LND macaroon expired.

reply

Oh, interesting! I thought I had configured Amazon CloudFront to not cache the LNURL protocol URL. But I guess they didn't work.

Thanks for letting me know.

No worries! Every time a zap fails, a kitten dies.

I can confirm it returns a new invoice on every request now.

Thanks again for letting me know! I would have never noticed that. πŸ˜‚

Can someone intentionally zap 1000 CCs even if he doesn't have CCs? @k00b @ek

Only if they set their sending dust limit high enough. Otherwise, the only reason that would happen is if the receiver's wallet failed to make an invoice, or has no inexpensive route to their wallet/node.

reply

Thanks.

Only if they set their sending dust limit high enough.

I get it. It's send credits for zaps below in the settings, right?

This is a little susceptible feature. If many Stackers choose high limit there, wouldn't that see an overflow of CCs on SN?

reply

Overflow is a hyperbolic way of putting it, but yeah, there'd be more cowboy credits if people wanted to send more cowboy credits.

reply

Do you see the problem now? Even though I'm spending and recieving enough but I keep losing horse and gun. The horse and the gun should not be lost when you've recieved or zapped an equal amount of CCs required.

reply
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 26 Jan

Horse and gun are related to attached wallets. CCs happen when those aren’t working or your counterparty isn’t using them.

reply

I know it. But as I mentioned I lost them even after zapping and recieving around 2000 Sats/CCs. I recieved much more CCs yesterday and that's I think is because many Stackers are using higher dust limit while zapping. So, their sats are actually reaching to me as CCs and ultimately I lost the horse.

Anyways thank you for replying, I just hope the horse and the gun have no negative implications, they are same as the hat is.

Quick Tip of the dayQuick Tip of the day

How to convert your LNbits instance in a NWC wallet provider for its users:

How? Add the manifest json into your LNbits admin page - extensions
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riccardobl/nwcprovider/refs/heads/master/manifest.json
  • You will see the NWC extension ready in your extensions list. Activate it.
  • go to nostrclient extension in lnbits and add 2-3 relays
  • go to NWC extension and create a NWC connection linked to a lnbits wallet
  • scan the QR code with Alby Go and test if you can see all the transactions, balance, send/receive.

Done, now you can use any lnbits account on the go using a NWC connection on any application that need a NWC wallet, INCLUDING SN

This is a little off topic, but I know you keep up with Blixt. This morning, for some reason, I opened my Blixt wallet, and I prepared to wait a few minutes for all the channels to become available, like I always have to. For some reason, though, all three of them had remained open overnight, and I was able to zap immediately. This was a nice surprise. I'm sure it was a weird accident, but have you ever experienced this?

reply

Maybe you had activated the "persistent mode" in settings. That will keep the LND service online.

reply

I have had persistent mode activated since you recommended that to me a long time ago. The channels would still go inactive once I closed the app. Do they remain active for you? FYI, I'm on a graphene mobile.

reply

Yes, it should remain active and online if is activated. Is possible that you restrict something for Blixt app. You will see a notification about that, that stays always on your taskbar.

reply

Okay, so does that mean my wallet would receive a lightning payment even if the app is closed? I'm really wondering if it could be an SN attached wallet option? I don't need it for my Blixt use case.

reply

btw Blixt just released a new version, updating the LND (fixing channel vulnerability) https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.7.1

reply

Yes. Did you activate your LN address in Blixt? You can test with that.

I'm really wondering if it could be an SN attached wallet option?

Not yet for sending. Only if they activate NWC. You still can use Blixt with WebLN on mobile for SN. Is not so elegant like NWC but for mobile can be an alternative. But for receiving you can use the @blixtwallet.com LN address.

reply

My wallet doesn't stay open consistently despite being on persistent. It must be my app permissions on graphene, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions? Maybe @final can shine some light on the situation?

Yes, I have the lightning address. Maybe I'll play around with it.

Stack Sats and stay humble.

Attended an ex-colleague’s wedding today and had fun catching up with my ex-colleagues. Vivid memories flooded my mind as I thought back about the times we had spent together. I still remember the first time I went on a recce trip with many of them and got asked, β€œSo are you a civil servant?” Lol.

Needless to say, I also got reminded of my own wedding. I couldn’t have known it back then, but I thank my lucky stars that my missus and I are aligned on many things, without us needing to even engage in discussions. Case in point: interior designer for renovation. I floated the idea of shopping around for interior designers and felt immensely relieved when she agreed that doing so would be too troublesome. So yup, I am lucky to have married well.
