Setting up your Squeak Node

Hey everyone, I'm trying out Squeak node and since there is very little documentation out there I thought I would add this subreddit to see if we can't get this thing going.

​

When you first log in (umbrel:moneyprintergobrrr) you need to go down to the Peers tab and Connect Peer.

Here are some peers you can add:

rv7vi7ziiiutnfcmd4edyz4z7emicblkwbcxluomn2pvybxujzmyizyd.onion2hbw3bd5rb774dgbfw2dxvlhc36bgn4bzcab2rq4a62j4zjg4gq3paqd.onion

tkdisnw23b6ek2x5lsyuy5ubhbxyvp4nfjbigzt6atxggpmdvesrapqd.onion

(you can find your peer address with "show external address")

​

To add people to follow you go to the Profiles tab and Add Contact

Here is my contact:

Profile name: Elwar Address: 1Dyk1t6YWevyuD3kSw5uZ96BGkSqWG2jKw

You can also add:

Profile name: Squeak Node Address: 1LRLdX4DBaZTCNHPFstJqn3ScH32DMu6ys

Profile name: abhishandy Address: 14Xj6ryrUdTNZPaoLRKdmVdWhJGSehnVFm

​

You can then go to your Timeline and view (Download) squeaks or add a new one in the bottom right corner.

Go ahead and add your peer address and Profile name/address here.

I have added several peers already and turned on Autoconnect, added eg. your Username and Address but when I click "DOWNLOAD SQUEAKS" or "VIEW MORE SQUEAKS" nothing shows up

Is there anything else I need to do?

I am not so certain of how it works. I only got one to work. Not sure if it's only one squeak per person or not.

It's 2 weeks old so definitely early days.

Alright, after adding all the peers you listed I can finally see Squeaks
Though I can't buy your squeaks, it fails with the error "no_route". However, I was able buy a squeak of abhishandy who answered your squeak so I would think that some route to you should exist at the very least via abhishandy's node.

In the latest version of squeaknode, there are some UI improvements, so you can see if there is any download in progress after you click those buttons.

Is there a reason you have a price set for your squeaks? It's only like 10 sats but I feel like the barrier to entry would be a lot lower for new adopters if we avoided the fees to start. Just my opinion.

In the latest version of squeaknode, you can set the price to be anything you want (in millisats).

Just click on the user dropdown in the top right corner of the app, and then click on "Settings". Then you should see the option to change the sell price.

2

You can set the price to zero if you want, and then squeaks will be unlocked by default for anyone who downloads from you.
