How do I join this community? I'm a node runner (raspiblitz) and in the past I used lightningnetwork.plus to find others like me to set up liquidity swaps. I figured you could help me get my zapping back online on nostr.....

hehehe Im laughing because as you point out, that's pretty ridiculous as well. Best of luck to you with the business - I'm getting some bits n bobs to help me set up a personal server at home to host my own files and possibly a nostr relay, so I'm sure we're both happy with the outcome. VPN seems to be a much more convenient way for me to torrent too.
All the best and good luck on Nostr.

I didnt run it again. Like 99.9% of the internet using general public, i have no need to download porn. I have no idea how it happened. I suspected an inside job, since i was using an API key.

I have no idea what happened, but I know that I haven't downloaded porn for at least a decade, more likely two. I'm merely posting my experience of using your service, and that experience for me was negative. I lost out on maybe three weeks of server use; if I'd paid upfront for a year then I would have been pissed, but as it happens it wasn't that bad. You were very helpful initially too, after I changed my package with support with no worries at all. This is my honest review of your service. Perhaps you could improve by making it abundantly clear that you will enforce any DMCA requests and so torrenting the latest films isn't allowed.

2025-11-29 19:42:11 UTC

What exactly needs correcting? You don't like torrenting. You should make sure customers are aware of that fact.

You may think whatever you like.
The conclusion I arrived at was that there is no such thing as privacy when you use someone else's server.

2025-11-29 09:15:09 UTC

- reply

Hehehe, I promise you it wasn't anything too spicy. So anyway, I initially set up a Nostr relay on the server and everything was fine. But as soon as I started torrenting they got upset. And even when I stopped, they falsely accused me of carrying on. I think they just wanted their server back so they could rent it to someone else.

2025-11-29 07:14:06 UTC

Some shit film. They gave me a warning so i stopped. Then they accused me of torrentng porn 3 days later, which was completely false, but they cancelled my account. Not impressed.

Note, they will shut your server down for torrenting, as I learnt from bitter experience.

The reason it cannot take a value of -1 is simply because its an even power of cos(x).

If you send via your own node then you have far better privacy. If you're using someone else's node for anything, then it would be trivial to link that IP with the addresses being watched.

I recently set up a nostream relay on a vps using your guide - its was easy to follow by the way and I've got it working. Im learning lots and I'm trying to get my head round how the relay system determines where things get stored.

Yeah so I'm running Alby Hub and I've got about 70k sats in a channel on lightning. According to Thunderhub I've got capacity in both directions, so not sure what the problem is exactly. Do you have a lightning node that I can connect to to ensure that a route can be found? Currently connected to Plebnet vtwolf and I'm guessing its a routing issue. But I'm not certain.

The method of just writing down the address and checking it on a block explorer works fine if all your funds are parked at one address. If youve used your wallet a few times and so have generated change addresses, then using the 'master public key', which can check all addresses at once, works best.

Set up a 'watch only wallet'. You only need the xpub/zpub. Then you can keep an eye on it without having to do a full 'wallet restore'. Also - to avoid heart attacks - write down the derivation path as well as your 12 or 24 words.

Its a great idea, I wish there was something like this for uk btc users. There used to be, it was called lastbit.io - It linked my lightning node to a prepaid debit card so I could add funds to the debit card by paying a lightning invoice. I think 'striga' which is part of this business, evolved out of lastbit.io. Anything which makes the conversion of btc to gbp frictionless is a win.

Apologies. Full retraction from me. Bitbetbot was having some technical difficulties and issued me with a full refund of 20000 sats, plus 1000 sats for the inconvenience. This all happened within an hour of the sats being sent for the bet.

Bitchat - An idiots review.
So just tried it out last night. From what I can gather.......
1. Change the # code to where you live if you want to talk to people from your geographic area. To find the right code, use https://geohash.softeng.co/. Don't be too 'granular'. For example, #gc is fine for UK and Ireland, even though #u1 may be actually where you are in the UK.
2. Because anyone can 'teleport' to any of these geohash codes, you're not really 'doxxing' your location, since there's no guarantee you live right there. There may be other ways you can find someones actual location though, I'm not sure.
3. You can actually put any code you like after the hash to 'create' a chat room. That's pretty cool.
Quite like the app. Seems like a cool way to communicate. 8/10.

I use a non custodial lightning wallet (raspiblitz). But doing that isn't easy. You've got to spend at least 100 dollars, probably four hours sorting it out and setting it up, then download the entire blockchain. Then learn how to use it. It takes money, time, effort and its definitely not for everyone.
