Now to figure out an Electrum server implementation for it...

Just to let anyone know, it took just over 6 hours to fully sync the 22GB of data.
32 sats \ 4 replies \ @newnym OP 28 Apr \ parent \ on: Anyone here running a Liquid node? bitcoin
I tried to find this but apparently my google-fu is not very good :) Thank you for the link. I've installed it on a 12GB 6 core linux container about 2 hours ago. So far it's 38% synced.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be spinning a Liquid node then.
Anyone here running a Liquid node?

Does your idea involve putting two of these lasers on the eyes of a Satoshi bust for the ultimate laser eyes?
2500 sats \ 1 reply \ @newnym 19 Apr \ on: Good Home Lab Starter information tech
I find the ServeTheHome forums quite good for hardware info. From your list I think you could get away with just one machine. But of course that's not much fun :) Anyway, I foresee some Proxmox action in your future...

Great article. I think I can add a few things (I'm brazilian, btw).
  • Other forms of money transfer (TED and DOC) charge a small fee, and Pix doesn't. This is one of the main reasons it caught on so fast;
  • Many bitcoin/crypto exchanges that operate here offer deposit and withdraw via Pix (Binance, for example);
  • There are even Telegram bots that allow you to buy and sell bitcoin using using a combination of Pix and Lightning Network;
  • About the UX: Pix allows you to charge some one using a QR code invoice. Let's say I owe you 100 bucks. You then send me the QR code for said 100 bucks and all I have to do is scan it or copy it into my payment app. HOWEVER, I have yet to come across anyone how knows this, and I have a small business, so I have to pay a lot of people using Pix. None of them have ever sent me the QR code thing. They always expect me to initiate the transaction. Weird.

If you have two items next to each other and you orient your snake in such a manner to take both of them you skip the second.
21 sats \ 2 replies \ @newnym 21 Feb \ on: Can you outspend the federal government? econ
I'm trying! Is it just me or does the snake grow on the head instead of the tail?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @newnym 12 Jan \ on: The Bitcoin ETF is the spiritual reversal of Executive Order 6102 bitcoin
I could be wrong, but now that bitcoin ETFs are a thing will it be easier for people to short bitcoin? I mean if you are a Wall St. guy you can now short bitcoin through the ETFs without resorting to some obscure crypto exchange, right?

Thanks for the tip on the esp32 nostr signer. I didn't know it existed.
33 sats \ 3 replies \ @newnym 12 Jan \ on: Why I'm Bullish 2: SeedSigner bitcoin
I haven't used SeedSigner yet. I'm waiting for it to manage Nostr keys as well. There is someone working on it, but still looks very early. https://gist.github.com/kdmukai/ae9911ed6fb92f8e7d2c553555b0cb86
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @newnym 10 Jan \ on: How they manipulated the price (from the SEC?) of Bitcoin in just 15 minutes bitcoin
Something I don't see people pointing out is that when the "fake" tweet about the ETF being approved went out, the ETH/BTC valuation fell. But when the the SEC account later removed the tweet and said that they were hacked, the ETH/BTC valuation went up quite a bit.
Just saying...
