I only have money for paying rent, bills and food until the next month. I don't have a job yet and I already spent my savings. I'm looking for a job but if I don't get one or any income by the en of the next month I will have to move and find a way to survive. This made me wonder about the financial situation of the people in this forum.

Also be prepared for a lot of "I am new to bitcoin and here to fix it" takes.

I do share to nostr and sometimes I'll tell someone on there that they should check out Stacker News.

Hopefully, what will be even better for Stacker News growth is our Stacker Sports Podcast.

I'm not sure if this will improve privacy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the relay receiving an event with type 28333 know that it is a bitcoin transaction, and can correlate the bitcoin transaction with the IP from which it was sent from? How is this an upgrade to someone running their own node over Tor and broadcasting transactions through their own node?

I guess broadcasting through nostr is better than using public nodes (assuming the relays aren't run by chain surveillance firms)? But isn't broadcasting through your own node still the most private way to use bitcoin?

Someone please shed some light on my confused newbie mind.

I was running some rudimentary probing thru LNbig a couple weeks back, no hard numbers but inbound shortage is v apparent. You can see this in the difficulty it can take in trying to rebalance lnbig channels

Yes I'd classify LN+ seperately, no actual buying/selling occurs there atm. Swaps are essentially "I'll open a channel to Bob if Alice opens a channel to me" -- it is not a very selective process and the 'quality' of peers highly varies, you basically open a chan to random peer and receive a random chan in return. Some swap peers are great, some are bad. Contrast that to Magma where you may be selective in your peer or to Pool which uses an internal scoring system
