testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at nochemorado@ecash.love, over a period of 14 minutes. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --
Rizful: Lightning Services
Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
 ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

I’m truly grateful for everything you’ve contributed to Bitcoin throughout the years. I’m not sure exactly how I can contribute, but I know that carrying forward the lessons and insights you’ve shared will keep me involved in this space and might even help pave the way for future generations.
If you think Luke personally saves bitcoin, or you think it would fail without him, you’d then have to be an absolute moron to use something so fragile to store your savings. Of course I don’t think that’s the case. My guess is this is just an attempt to anchor your emotions to a savior figure so you’ll follow where he goes next. View quoted note →
I have experienced a similar feeling in the past, as if I were carrying a significant weight all by myself. The best thing to do is to take a step back. You'll find that there are other capable individuals who will offer their support. Every Bitcoin Knots node runner is behind you man.
The Bitcoin catch-22 : programmable money that can't be entrusted to programmers, cuz they can't learn that Bitcoin is more important than whatever their brilliant idea is. Or tragedy of the commons : a whole community thinks someone will for something, so no one does. Or just plain retardation : Chinese chick gets to be lead maintainer by being a dude's girlfriend. Its like no one in Bitcoin has spent 5 minutes studying China, cuz if they had, they'd know that's exactly how China gets access to stuff. Gold is looking better and better to me.
This honestly solidified my position against Knots. The Ego on this man is crazy, he's not the savior of Bitcoin. There are so many people working on maintaining Bitcoin and fixing critical issues with it and running full nodes. For Luke to say he is the only savior is disingenuous and leads to more cult like behavior from people who do not understand the mechanics of Bitcoin and how it operates and creates blind obedience through this type of posts. Luke is compromised on how he runs his server which people pull Knots from, lost his 200 BTC due to bad opsec, and has a conflict of interest with the mining pool he promotes. Of which the backend is closed source still which they claim to be the champions of open source. I am not in support of Core because they've made some bad choices and some behave like children. But at least there's more credibility in the maintenance of Core itself. Don't upgrade to V30 if you don't agree with it, just stick to older versions of Core. #Bitcoin #KnotsvsCore #Ocean #LukeDashjr #OP_Return View quoted note →
