A collection of guides about Bitcoin & Lightning ONLY

Beginner guides, Use cases, merchant solutions, wallets, LN nodes, all tested by myself and trying to explain them in simple terms so anybody can understand them and follow the instructions.

This website is a copy of all my guides posted on Substack - DarthCoin Guides and organize them by categories and languages.

Some of the old guides I didn't migrate them from substack to this page because were quite obsolete or were already covered in new ones. But you can still consult them on Substack, will still keep them there for history.

Who is DarthCoin?

Just an old bitcoiner (toxic) maximalist, that from 2012 (when started with Bitcoin) was an unknown identity in Bitcoinlandia.

The legend of DarthCoin

In 2012 this old friend of mine (is older than me and literally like ObiWan), that was mining Bitcoin, he told me about Bitcoin.

And he literally told me:

If somebody will want to strike down Bitcoin, it will make it even stronger than we can imagine.

That made me think and study deeply into Bitcoin and that's how “DarthCoin” the bitcoiner was born.

Here I posted a more detailed article on Simply Bitcoin Newsletter about my journey.

But starting with 2019 decided to go out and start helping newbies and onboard more nocoiners into Bitcoin (so far 400+ new bitcoiners created in the last 2 years).

DarthCoin never sold any SAT and BTC back for fiat money. NEVER, EVER. There’s no way going back to fiat!

DarthCoin literally lives only using BTC as money and after testing, using, experiencing a lot of BTC apps, wallets, solutions, all these years in Bitcoinlandia, he decided to share his knowledge and experience with the new users that are lost in the vast number of apps and scams.

DarthCoin will never recommend any shitcoin, any scam, any dubious shit company. All that DarthCoin wants is a better world, a free world and many sovereign individuals, empowered by Bitcoin and Natural Law.

Side note: DarthCoin lived 20 years in a communist regime. So please don’t bother trying to explain him how “amazing” is a socialist / communist regime. DarthCoin doesn’t give a shit about any politicians or regimes, he’s a SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL.

Here are some interviews with DarthCoin, if you want to hear how crazy he is:

Other writings by DarthCoin:

Why did I start writing these guides?

Because I want to leave something in Bitcoin history, so my grandkids and your grandkids will read it and know how the early years of Bitcoin were.

This is my humble contribution to Bitcoin world. Everything I do today, in Bitcoin space, I am doing it for future users, I am doing it for Bitcoin only and for freedom.
