@ConnorsLabYT Thank you sir. Loving your content so far. Super helpful.

@ericyakes You didn't text me papi

@mattkratter Thought I had this fixed previously on my StartOS machine (flashed StartOS to an old dell optiplex with updated SSD), but wanted to fix this before BIP-110 activates. Hopefully this helps some plebs get it ironed out. Claude walked me through all of it.

@mattkratter re: your video from a few days, i finally fixed my node not listening despite false signals that it was listening:

[Michael Moran @MichaelCTMoran]

@mattkratter 4. After fixing: the Interfaces page has a built-in port Test button, or test with other node site to verify from outside. bitcoin-cli -netinfo 4 shows inbound peers per network — inbound Tor peers show up as "npr" from your internal gateway IP.

[Michael Moran @MichaelCTMoran]

3. StartOS 0.4.0 gotchas: it changed my P2P port from 8333 to a custom one (check the service's Interfaces page), so my old router port-forward pointed at a dead port. It also wiped my onion service — had to Add Onion Service fresh. And if login fails with "RPC ERROR: Unauthorized" after updating, it's just your browser's cached client — hard refresh/incognito fixes it.

2. Re-check your CGNAT status once in a while. I built my whole setup around being CGNAT'd (Tor-only inbound). Turns out my ISP had quietly given me a real public IP at some point. Compare your router's WAN IP to whatismyip — if they match, you can do clearnet inbound and stop depending on Tor.

[Michael Moran @MichaelCTMoran]

1. Diagnose first, don't guess. SSH in and run bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo. If your only localaddress is a .onion, test it by having your node dial ITSELF: bitcoin-cli addnode "youronion:8333" "onetry" with net logging on. Mine returned "connection refused" — my Tor hidden service had been silently dead for weeks while happily advertising itself. The old debug.log showed the Tor daemon flaking repeatedly. No error anywhere in the UI.

@JwayToday @EricRSammons Also this. I think if Catholic schools and parishes were holding some of their funds in #Bitcoin over the long run they'd be able to mitigate inflation/rising costs.

Tweeting to timestamp for my future self that I've been running a Knots node for months and support BIP-110. Come what may.

If you’re new here, here’s a tough pill to swallow

A big chunk of bitcoiners would rather fight each other than channel their efforts to advocating for bitcoin

They’ll tell you that their infighting IS the advocacy

We need a "Teach Children to Save in Bitcoin Day"

#bitcoin #thisistheway

[Treasury Department @USTreasury]

Today, thousands of students, educators, and banking volunteers are participating in Financial Literacy Month through Teach Children to Save Day.

Financial literacy fuels the American Dream and helps equip the next generation with the knowledge to build opportunity and long-term financial security.

@ArguCatholic @EricRSammons This doesn’t feel like good faith discourse, I’m not answering all that. God bless you.
