I just opened a channel using PSBT on regtest with lnd! No on-chain BTC in lnd, only channel keys are hot. Once PR is up and merged, this will allow lnd users to open channels directly with @[email protected]
Possible thanks to @[email protected]'s great channel abstraction work in 0.9.0 🎉

Looks like Tutanota is being blocked in Russia. Could you help us narrow this down?

To document the censorship:

1. Install OONI Probe: https://ooni.org/install
2. Tap the link: https://run.ooni.io/nettest?tn=web_connectivity&ta=%7B%22urls%22%3A%5B%22http%3A%2F%2Ftutanota.com%2F%22%2C%22https%3A%2F%2Ftutanota.com%2F%22%5D%7D&mv=1.2.0
3. Tap Run

Results: https://explorer.ooni.org/search?domain=tutanota.com&until=2020-02-16

To update lnd on an old #RaspiBlitz only one line need to be pasted to the terminal. That will download, verify, update and restart the service:

The only real "Man in the Middle Attack" on Crypto are the Regulatory Compliance Agencies and Fat Bureaucrats.

There is no freedom in regulatory compliance. And don't you forget that.

So, I finally started my 2017 project, writing the Bitcoin history. The idea is to interview and tell the stories that made the first 10 years of Bitcoin, a more investigative approach, focused on story telling. If anyone is interested in being interviewed or get involved, just toot me

"True Names" by Vernor Vinge was written a **long** time ago, but is a really forward thinking piece of fiction about nyms in the digital/virtual world. It's short, and entertaining too. Adam Back is always recommending it.

He also wrote "A Fire Upon The Deep" which is one of my favourite scifi books, breathtakingly imaginative.
