Why a tip and not ads?
Almost every self-custody guide is bankrolled by a hardware brand, a custody service, or affiliate payouts — and it quietly bends the advice. We took the opposite bet: earn trust by having nothing to sell, and let readers who found it valuable chip in directly. A Lightning tip is on-brand in the most literal way — it’s self-custody in action.
Where the sats go
Straight into our own sovereign Lightning node — Bitcoin Core, our own channels, no custodian holding the balance. That’s the same setup this guide teaches you to run. No third party sits between your tip and us.
