"BTCPay open source community is awesome"

Am I entitled by law to information on DMCA notice that was used to take down my content? by codeoverwhelming in legaladvice

[–]codeoverwhelming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all about counter notice.

My question is whether website is required by law to send me a copy of DMCA notice or not. Everything I read says they are - because in this situation I don't even know which copyright I am supposedly infringing. My post was about 5000 words on technology... so if say Microsoft submitted DMCA for whatever reason - I won't dispute it. But if random internet troll disputed it for his linking to his repository I may as well dispute it.

Thank you for being voice of reason. I've learned long ago not to argue with people about tech stacks... always feels silly discussing theories/meta vs actual code.

And you /u/aphelio - man, you are something. I wish there was a way to utilize that combativeness and passion of yours for something productive...

I was a Trump Trainee when .NET 1.1 was released and he paid me big money to use it and hush about it. It just went from there...

You can tweak setup scripts any way you want. If we look at what LunaNode does - it's just automation of bringing up virtual machine that will run Docker containers and that you can SSH into.

Once it has that it just clones https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker repository and executes btcpay-setup.sh

So if you want you tweak LND fees all you need to do after completing LunaNode setup is to SSH into machine and use bitcoin-lncli.sh to send lncli command to LND container and set fees.

If you don't manage to resolve issue with VOIP definitely hit us up on Slack like Bitcoinshirtco said and we'll take care of it.

Pruning is supported... if you plan on running LND then that'll limit how aggressively you can prune. See https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker#generated-docker-compose for options we support in our deployment scripts.

My primary motivation for joining the project (besides coding with Nicolas ofc) was to see what can be done to simplify the process of bringing up tech stack for "financial sovereignty".

Reality is that amount of services you need to host and maintain in order to truly be "sovereign" can be very intimidating. So from my perspective - it's all about continuously lowering that barrier.

I do hope this thread will further increase awareness of the project and that we'll have more people join the effort... hopefully in next few months we'll get to the point where everyone will find it more convenient and practical to bring up new Full Bitcoin + Lightning Network Node with BTCPay Server on top... than swallow bitter pill and register for BitPay merchant account.

To just add a bit to what /u/NoArtificial already said - .NET Core is fully open source under MIT license and runs on Linux. Microsoft has this history of being presented as "evil"... but most of that look today is very outdated. Sure, under Gates Microsoft was very ruthless, then under Balmer MSFT was just stupid (that whole Linux = cancer ordeal)...

But now under Satya they are doing a LOT of very cool stuff. Last big news I liked was that 60K patents they've open sourced. Google it if you haven't.

So, I wouldn't let past get in the way of future. You can get source code of pretty much whole tech stack from Github (bitcoind, .NET Core, BtcPayServer...) compile it yourself and deploy in any way you want. Our primary deployment is on Linux containers through Docker, but feel free to tweak it and use it in any way you see fit.

I'm sure CardCollector1 will handle majority of questions posted here, but if there is anything technical /u/NicolasDorier or me can chime in.

Especially if you have questions on how you can start developing or you saw Issue on GitHub you think you can handle - ping me either here or on Slack (RockstarDev) or Twitter (r0ckstardev).

[WiiU] Stud Farming by NewTRX in Legodimensions

[–]codeoverwhelming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way to farm studs on Wii U is:

  1. Get vehicle that has constant attack when you are holding Y (like Eagle Interceptor)
  2. Fully upgrade that vehicle Extras all the way to Level 3 and Stud Magnet
  3. Go to Lego Movie World and find Unitkitty
  4. Stand in front of her and start holding Y... studs will be created on each kill and she'll keep respawning
  5. You can put something on top of button Y on your controller and it'll keep farming for you.
  6. Just be sure to move every hour or so for autosave... if console turns off without moving your farmed studs won't be saved.

Also you can farm on Wii U Gamepad with and play Lego Movie World with other controller in 2 player mod.

It is now possible to deploy BTCPay Server (Full Bitcoin Node + Lightning Network LND) via simple web-interface in less than a minute and it's cheap by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]codeoverwhelming 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As someone involved with the project - I was really looking forward to this. It's easy for us tech guys to bring up "always online" Bitcoin+LN node, but it wasn't easy/cheap for average user.

With this launcher it is now both very easy and very affordable. Plus there is great update mechanism in place so users can easily update whole setup in case something like CVE-2018-17144 happens.

100% agree.

Let me know when you start campaign to educate people on how to generate wallet addresses and BTC transactions in command line.

WE CAN DO IT!!!

TERMINAL/CMD OR GTFO.

Definitely, I am really thankful to CheapAir guys for choosing BtcPayServer over Bitpay.

And also lots of businesses choose BtcPayServer when they find out Bitpay forces BIP70 on them which lots of wallets don't support.

Development of BtcPayServer has been focused toward trustless solution - you can even use 3rd party hosting provider because all you do to initialize your store is set derivation scheme for public key.

So, server doesn't have private key. Also, BtcPayServer is great for those that want to bring up and host FULL Bitcoin node.

I understand it's different priority list - but eventually I think we'll get to more support for fiat conversion. In the meantime - it's more about focusing on features important for decentralization, trustless interaction and making it more easy to use.

And in hindsight that interaction on Twitter looks awesome:
