100 sats \ 5 replies \ @optimism 10 Feb \ on: Baby Stacker Corner #4 meta
Hi all! Pleasure to be here.
Got here (this time around) from a nostr note by @halalmoney. I've visited a couple times prior and read articles here and there, but didn't bother to interact, until now.
Right now, I miss the old reddit vibe where there was a healthier mix of discussion and passion/cynicism - where people could agree to disagree and not everything turned into either a flame war or a brainwash by default (like the bigger subreddits, big discords and the bird app has become today.) In my search for a new platform I decided to give engaging with SN a shot.
It was easy for me, but it would be hard for me to get someone here that does not come with a bitcoin background. CC vs sats took me a minute to understand, of course after I accidentally bought CCs.
I've been using LN for a longer time, as in from back when it was a pain in the behind. I'm nowadays just running Phoenix (mobile) instead of a node; having to do channel management on a non-portable node is not ideal when you're on the road a lot and I feel that using a well known LSP (like Acinq) has a good enough risk profile for small balance exposure - for now.
Yes, and yes.

I think you're at the right place, many stackers have mentioned something simi same and said SN is what they were looking for

Definitely! But thanks to CCs, someone without a bitcoin background can also use SN with CCs and when they are ready for sats, they can attach a wallet.

At least you will spend CCs instead of sats on posts and comments, so if you're active enough here, it shouldn't matter that you bought CCs!

I also use Phoenix, but I also have a LND node with a private channel to SN to which I receive sats from here. I also run phoenixd as a fallback on a server since my LND node is running on my computer at home which I turn off from time to time.
Have you looked into phoenixd?
Yes, and yes.

I currently just submarine swap from Phoenix to on-chain (and when feerates are insane but need incoming liquidity, stage to liquid and then back to on-chain from there whenever it's calmed down - pleb life.)

phoenixd has been on my 'to yolo onto a server' list ever since it were announced - i found that to be an awesome concept. But, I've gotta build something to actually use it - I've found real usage to be by far the best way to try new things, just start small. I was thinking to try to make it work in combination with a btcpayserver and put up a storefront of some kind. Would be fun.reply
You can try out
phoenixd on the machine you're using right now and then later restore from the seed if you want to migrate to another machine.It's really really easy, just run the binary from here and done!
Some verification would be nice but maybe it's fine since it's from acinq.co
