I am ready to go to the next level.
I’m at the point where my private keys are on a trezor. I’m ready to move to the level where I run my own node/lightning node so I can participate in the interesting things being built.
Let’s assume I have no computer.
The first reccomendation I am looking for is what computer to purchase, assuming it will only be used for bitcoin related things. Assume low but growing technical abilities and economical mindset.
I want to take an old arcade game and replace the quarter slot with bitcoin lightning payment acceptor. Person walks up to machine, pays 25 satoshi’s to play, machine records public address and score of the player, at the end of the month the machine operator banks half the total satoshi pot and the high score public address receives the other half. Public addresses are then destroyed by machine and the game starts over the next month. Not a change the world idea, just a fun tinker. Where begin?
I live in an area of the US where a majority of the people work for the government either directly or on a contract. When they tell me what they do all day and then tell me how much they make the 2 don’t add up. The guy whose only job at social security is to order new chairs if someone needs one should not make 85,000 a year. This is one reason bitcoin interests me. Something is off and not enough people see it.
Bitcoin word of the day “instance” after a few minutes of research I now understand what an instance is. I exist on 2 instances within mastodon. @bitcoinhakers.org is the instance I favor. Bitcoin really has been one of my greatest teachers, bitcoin has taught me how to learn. Only teacher who could get me to look up a word, term or saying I didn’t understand. Thank you bitcoin
