As a person that ran knots briefly, I can concur with 3B.
My biggest gripe was not being able to configure my node the way I wanted to. Core announced because of so much push back they were no longer deprecating the OP_Return configurability.
So my gripe is gone. With BIP-110...I don't understand, it has such a low probability of succeeding, AND most likely to cause a chain split. No one will take a bet that it gets activated because they KNOW it won't. I'm in this to preserve freedom money. I can't conscientiously support a software that's aiming for a fork with seemingly no regard to the consequences.
So I switched back to core, albeit, version 29.2.

Feedback for @nprofile…gfu7 :
I'm glad strike isn't going to do a credit card. I'm what's called a dead beat creditor. I use the Gemini card to DCA Bitcoin as rewards, but I pay it off in full every month. Which means I get all the protections of a credit card but give no value back to the issuer.
I think this would skew the incentives of strike if you NEED your users to leverage themselves so the business makes money. I think it's a good decision to go towards line of credit instead.
With that, I have a fun question for your next Livestream.
I used a referral for a friend, and while I know your logo is a meteor strike, he says it looks like a middle finger... And now I can't unsee it.

Interesting watching how core vs knots is continuing. While I do have problems with both sides this latest attack on core with this bug doesn't make sense.
You have to have been using core as your main wallet for something like 10 years because it's only a problem with legacy addresses.
You then have to decide to upgrade core to the latest firmware, which let's be honest if you've kept everything in a legacy address the probability of you upgrading now is very slim.
And you have to have never backed up your wallet.
New users DO NOT use core as a wallet. Hell, I abandoned core as a wallet and just use air gapped hardware wallets. New users will use an app on their phone. They aren't going to download core or knots.
So why the panic spreading? I really wish I could see level heads coming out of either side that ACTUALLY push back on their own group's FUD.
It would be a refreshing change and earn a lot of respect.

I will do my best to keep this relatively concise.
In a nut shell, you set up a channel with another node via on-chain transaction. So if you contact a partner and send 1M sats via on-chain, you have OUTBOUND liquidity. This means you can SEND up to 1M sats, but can't receive anything.
Alby hub let's you pay a lightning service provider so that they'll lock Bitcoin up. So an LSP will create the 1M sats on-chain transaction which gives you INBOUND liquidity. Meaning you can RECEIVE up to 1M sats but can't send anything.
So you're trying to balance inbound vs outbound. I need to be able to receive as well as send. It becomes a bit of a juggle at times. Nothing super crazy but it takes deliberate action and planning.
And because it's lightning, the LSP can unilaterally close your channel at anytime. So it may happen at a bad time when you were expecting to need liquidity.
On that same note though... You can use lightning in a way that mitigates the need to pay a LSP. So, you can open a big channel say, 3-10M sats, using your own Bitcoin. Then once the channel is open send half of it to another wallet like aqua or strike or Phoenix. Then you'll have a channel with half inbound and half outbound liquidity. But that depends on your comfort level.
I try to keep around 1M sats ready to send at any given time. That way it's not super terrible if it's lost. Gotta think about this as cash in your wallet. How much are you comfortable keeping on you?
The other downside with running alby, your node needs to be online at all times. If it doesn't have access to internet, you can't reach your funds until you turn it back on. Even Zeus is really only connected while you have the app open. That's why it has to sync every time you open it.
Tradeoffs.

2025-04-14 20:06:53 UTC

- reply

A lot of people have responded about the WoS difference so I won't go there... But the reasoning behind Alby:
If you run your own node like a start9 server or umbrel... Alby hub let's you get more under the hood with channel management and take advantage of their partners for inbound liquidity. Zeus itself requires channel management as well.
With Alby hub you can link your hub to their servers just with an account. This gets you access to a LNURL username@getalby.com. This doesn't allow them access to your node, it's just for routing purposes only. You can also link it to your phone with Alby Go. Spend from your own node from anywhere.
So you can receive payments without needing to generate an invoice. I had access to old PCs at work which allowed me to build a start9 server for about $150. I really like their interface and I've not tried Umbrel.
You can use Zeus to get a LNURL as well, the only problem I found was setting up a channel earlier was much more difficult. I think it has gotten better now though.

The doom and gloom is the dumbest thing in this space. Not enough transactions because most people are using lightning? It's going to fail!
Too many transactions and no one can use the base layer without spending a lot? It's going to fail!

Makes sense. But in the future if you want to take self custody it'll be good to have your own lightning channels. Because getting to 1M sats for a good size UTXO is going to get more and more challenging
