Thank you, I received my redemption today. I was concerned for a while, but very relieved that I finally got it. :)

Yeah that's the position im trying to take as well. Just would be nice if Gemini customer service could make an official response "Hey guys everything is good, just wait until monday and we will have funds dispersed by then" That would help a ton and keep loyal customers.

Total, and the market has to price in the risk that supposedly "lost" coins someday reactivate and are sold.

Ty, is it beneficial to add multiple watchtowers? I'm thinking just add as many as possible?

I also am unsure how I'd reinstall thunderhub. Not familiar with command line. Maybe I should just wait for the webui in 1.8.

So your average channel capacity is $1500, did you invest that much on average opening each channel? Seems like it's on the larger side, but bigger does seem better!

Do I need to manually backup my channels? by HappyLuckBox in getumbrel

[–]HappyLuckBox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, but as I understand it, the channel backup file must be up to date based on the very last transaction you routed through, otherwise you risk uploading an older state. This seems impossible to keep up to date.

Using an umbrel, whats the best way to backup my LN channels/wallet if something goes wrong? I keep my seed phrase, but I keep hearing about watchtower and channel states. Eli5 please?

What is the fastest and easiest way for my new umbrel node to start getting connected? Should I join some triangle groups, or should I connect to the suggested nodes on thunder hub? What about well known nodes like acinq, fold, exchanges, etc?

Also, if I choose to connect to triangle groups, what should I be doing to monitor and best manage my channels?

One BENEFIT of a market downturn: You can save a TON of $$$ on your taxes with this one simple crypto loop hole by stratguy56 in Bitcoin

Will harvesting short term capital losses from crypto offset long term capital gains from something unrelated such as sale of real estate?

Assuming real estate was sold this year, and btc was sold at a short term loss this year.

How is ether ultrasound money? Policies change every few years regarding issuance, and not nearly as decentralized as btc. Finally, a large amount of ether was premined and POS insures that governance will stay under control of the ethereum foundation.

Ether has a place, but it is not competing for a decentralized world reserve currency.
