Anonymous computer programmer, going by the handle "Nix Bitcoin Dev", and I have a chat about the nix-bitcoin project. A project that makes it easy for a semi-technical person to run a full Bitcoin node and/or a lightning node.  Our conversation revolves around how the open source approach is ideal for this project, as the approach captures cumulative good security practices and distills it into simple user facing infrastructure-as-code nix scripts.  https://nixbitcoin.org/ https://nixos.org/ https://twitter.com/nixbitcoinorg https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin   (Regarding the lightning setup at https://youtu.be/klRF1-AKKh4?t=5768 , instead of making a conclusion video describing the setup I'll just copy paste the follow up email here: "You have one "application" node and one "firewall" node. The application node runs your application software + a lightning node. Your "firewall" node only runs a lightning node. The application node only has a relatively small channel to the "firewall" node. It can't open a new channel because it has no on-chain balance.  When the channel capacity is used up then the "firewall" node automatically rebalances the channel, but only up to a certain, predetermined amount.  The "firewall" node can set spending limits per day or behavior.  The threat model here is that your application and the "application" node is hacked.")    Music: "Welding The Steel Frame" by Wintergatan This track can be downloaded for free at www.wintergatan.net Free license to use this track in your video can be downloaded at www.wintergatan.net
