Or even worse, why wouldn't that someone tie him up and torture him until he gives them what they want? At that point, it doesn't really matter what you used for your backups.
One of the best ways to protect your coins is really not to tell anyone that you have bitcoin, at least not unnecessarily
Guys, I completely agree with these comments. Jameson Lopp has a great resource on github where he keeps a list of all the physical bitcoin attacks. Just read it and you will notice that there have been many "torture / threat" stories. This is a huge threat that people seem to ignore. |

I'll figure out how (and when) I'm going to move 200k sats to my LN node so that I can open a much larger channel. Or, I might open 2 100k channels each in order to have a fallback in case my node decides to close the connection for some reason. btw, can LN channel closures happen automatically? I have only ever heard of the case where it is initiated manually.
(I have Terminal Web which makes the process of opening channels much easier.)
I am not aware of auto closures. So can't really comment on that. Personally I have 3 open channels with 3 very large nodes. The reason behind this decision is to make sure there will always be a route to process payments. So, when you want to do the trade let me know. In case I use my funds meanwhile, I will post here to withdraw my offer. I think I won't need to do that, but if I do I will let you know. |

I use the Alby browser extension which is connected to my Voltage LND node.
It seems that my only channel has been closed automatically somehow. So I will need to open another channel or you might need to open a channel to my node. (I only have 22K sats on-chain withing the lightning node which I don't think is enough to open a channel. I think you need at least 10x that amount to open a channel with that liquidity but like I said, fees are stupidly high right now and my lightning node's addresses do not have enough funds in them.)
My node's public key is 03e2b8f741b13d0746816a2a609032e4da6729347835e574d9407b7dd183face65 in case you need that info.
I don't have the funds to open a channel unfortunately. I would use my custodial LN wallet for this purpose. My self-custody LN node has been idle for a long time and I don't wish to use it right now. The fees are very high so opening a channel would cost a lot. So in your case, you have a self custody LN node which means that you handle the channels and the liquidity. You don't have an open channel so there is no way for the payment to be routed. Even if you open a channel somehow with me, or with any node and even if there is a direct or indirect route between our nodes, you still must have more than 46k sats inbound liquidity, in order to receive 46k sats. Let me know if you need further explanation. |

Right. My bad. I am still learning to get the hang of LN.
Yeah that's a good decision. There seems to be a problem with the invoice. Did you include a payment amount? I could assist you if you need help. My wallet doesn't recognise the invoice. Which wallet do you use? |

I can help you if you want.
I am able to send 46,000 sats. If that's ok with you, let me know.
Yes, please post the LN invoice here. Wait, I thought you wanted to get LN funds and return on-chain. Am I wrong? If I am right, then you have to paste the LN invoice and I will pay it the sooner possible. If it is a QR, it's even better. Remember to create an invoice for 46,000 sats. |

Nice looking, but you forgot to post screenshot of your metal seed words in public  The first word starts with an E. The second word starts with an X. The third word starts with a C. The fourth word starts with an H. The fifth word st... Hang on, did you spot the pattern? EXCH for the win! |

Synchronise the flux capacitors!
Could you provide me with the appropriate instructions to achieve that? |

Loyce says thanks for your flawless timing... Oops I am one hour ahead!  That's what happens when you try to play smart. |

Can't express my gratitude for this beauty.  Thanks to everyone who have helped organising these raffles. |

If your node connects to my node, they will be exchanging data.
If your nodes initiates the connection to my node, then this connection will be incoming for me and outgoing for you.
After the connection is established, it doesn't matter who initiated it. Data exchange between our nodes will be established and it will be working as expected.
If you want to be able to accept incoming connections, then you can do 2 things:
1. You can open a port on your router to allow incoming connections.
2. You can set up TOR and this will allow you to accept incoming connections without messing up with port forwarding.
Finally, I repeat that since you already have the connections established, you can just ignore the fact that they are outgoing, since you are already participating to the network properly and without any issues.

Perhaps "Fun only for fun" ?
Or "Fight only for fun" ?

"Buying something" with BTC may be cool if you are dealing with small amounts. The moment BTC goes to 100k, 200k, 300k.. and your wallet is now 7 figures, and you continue to use it limited ot Bitrefill coupons and whatnot, it is a bit of a joke. You have all that money but you cannot really upgrade your life quality.
If you want to move and live on a better area, diversify in other assets, buy a better car, increase monthly expenses.. you can't do anything relevant with the money. A solution is needed and part of it is being able to interact with the fiat system in one way or another, thus the audit being part of it. There has to be a jurisdiction that isn't some dodgy non CRS country that would be ok to do banking with the funds.
I disagree. You can do anything you want, as long as you don't mess with other people's freedom and of course as long as you don't hurt someone. Why can't you buy a car with BTC? I think the reason is because the car company doesn't accept BTC as a payment. That's also true if you try to buy a car in the USA, using Norwegian Krone. If you are using cash, they will ask you to exchange it to USD first, before you can proceed with the payment. If you pay using a card, then the payment processor (Visa / Mastercard etc.) will do the exchange silently behind the scene and they will charge you for that. Finally, just a quick question. According to the quoted text above, is there any usage of Bitcoin that you like? Or is there a reason why you own it in the first place? My question isn't ironic, but it looks like you have plenty of "flaws" to accuse bitcoin for, but you have no positives to indicate. Am I wrong? |

Friends, the campaign is likely to be suspended soon, for this you can thank Royce, BitcoinGirl.Club and hugeblack, who have been working hard over the past few days to present Jambler as a mixer that provides services to ordinary users .. which is not true.
So, the question that arises is, how did they manage to suspend the campaign? What kind of authority did they have? In any case, I can assure you that you are like family to me, so I will make sure that you all do not experience any inconvenience.
You are a great campaign manager man. |

- BIP39 passphrase does not encrypt, it is an extension of the seed phrase. All BIP39 seed phrases have an empty ("") passphrase by default, and you can choose to extend that.
I think that technically, BIP39 uses the word "mnemonic" as the default salt. Then we can add an optional passphrase which will be appended to the word "mnemonic". So, not adding a passphrase will lead to parsing 12 words (seedphrase) + "mnemonic" (salt) from the PBKDF2 algorithm. If we added a passphrase, it would lead to parsing 12 words (seedphrase) + "mnemonic" + "secret passphrase" from the PBKDF2 algorithm. |
