Yes, thanks, regarding "Also please add a notification (by email or nostr) for those nodes that will go "dormant" or offline so users will be alerted." -- this is already done. You should get an email when and if your node sleeps.

Gracias

Thanks. Yeah. We are SUPER eager to deploy Testnet4 on Rizful. Should be early in 2025. See our description of how we think it can be used in education here: https://rizful.com/#the-case-for-educational-lightning-software

Yeah. Basically, a big design focus for Rizful is that the nodes are DISPOSABLE. You can quickly delete a node, and also quickly delete you Rizful account, whenever you wan.t (We do have safety checks however to make sure you don't delete a node with funds or channels... see here: https://rizful.com/docs/deleting-node

We're huge and early supporters of Alby Hub actually.

We're set up NOSTR! public key: npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq

So a "chain analysis honeypot" would be like, we were tracking UTXOs some how, right? I am pretty vague on how this would work. Also, how could any individual or service prove that they were NOT doing this?

thanks!

Yes, you can use "Get Inbound", and then send a payment to your Rizful node, and that payment will show up as your "outbound capacity" -- see here: https://rizful.com/docs/balances-and-capacities#outbound-capacity

Rizful was created by the same team behind https://megalithic.me/ ... but to answer your question more directly -- if you are fully paranoid, running your own Lightning Node on your own hardware is always the best solution: https://docs.megalithic.me/category/should-i-run-a-lightning-node

I recommend you try a NWC back end that is a fully featured Lightning Node. Rizful & Alby Hub will both work.

Correct.

This is the one of the must confusing things about NWC with Stacker News currently. We've discussed with @koob and it's likely this behavior will be re-worked in the future, but for now, you need TWO DIFFERENT NWC STRINGS.... Our guide is here for Rizful but it should also work for other NWC back-ends like Alby Hub and others..... https://rizful.com/docs/use-rizful-with-services#use-rizful-with-stacker-news

We recommend using Rizful or Alby Hub with a NWC connection for Stacker News!

PSA: https://rizful.com/docs/use-rizful-with-services#use-rizful-with-stacker-news

Alby Hub is highly recommended. You could also try our new service Rizful, which is designed to do exactly this: https://rizful.com/

Thanks everyone for helping us test Rizful. We're getting great feedback and this opportunity is still open! Please join us!

I'm not sure that is necessary. If you properly shut down your node, you node will send messages to all your channel peers, telling them that the channel is about to go down.

Thanks everyone for testing Rizful for us, this is going great so far. If you want to join, please start with the steps here: https://rizful.com/get_free_sats

Hi, to do this testing project, please follow the directions here: https://rizful.com/get_free_sats

Hm, I just tried the link from new browser and it worked fine. Did you go to the top of rizfu.com and click the Discord button?
