Notice how all three do the precise opposite of what they claim —

The Bank Secrecy Act requires not that banks be secretive with their customer’ private info, but rather, that they report everything to the state, which inevitably gets hacked.

The Patriot Act facilitates spying on everyday Americans who have committed no crime, the opposite of patriotism, and a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.

The Federal Reserve is neither part of the Federal Government, nor does it have any reserves. Instead, it steals the reserves of working Americans and dollar holders worldwide via hidden inflation.

There is a better way. #Bitcoin nostr:note1nys0arw9gc7msrd6v42aw0s2x5m90775t0h5a78rgyyket3u2qlswlykk8

Hey you, hustler! Move steady, don’t burn out. This is a marathon.

WOS removed themselves from the US app store likely in a panic based on how the news dropped.


I'm not trying to bash. If you've been in the space long enough, you've seen history repeat itself every few years. You've seen the idiotic things people have done and you've watched them pay the price for it.

You can ignore the writings on the wall and get rekt, or learn from the people sounding the alarms.

At the end, it's about personal responsibility.


Canadians…

Better purchase those sweet non-KYC sats through Bull Bitcoin while you still can, the way things are going, you haven’t got long left.


If you are reading this message, you are the Resistance.


What still confuses you the most about #Bitcoin?


I love how Dan and Josh say each other's names when making points sometimes. It really drives the point and just sounds so damn genuine. nostr:npub1a3hrd4wfawr578d5y5l0qgmh7lx8q6tumfq0h7eymmttt52veexqkcfg37 are some really great people.


If you're not having a good time on nostr, you're probably not following enough people to even get this advice.


I wanna see the people winning.
Not the state.
Not the gov.
The people.

Bitcoin isnt about the money right now. It's about owning it, golding it, and separating money from gov so the people have their power back.

The money comes, when we have our power back.


You already know the answer. But this isn't about asking permission.


Ah, "easier to use" wasn't in my evaluation criteria.  They're already pretty easy to use, air-gapped or not. The addition of a qr scanner is nice but unnecessary in most cases and probaby increases attack vectors overall if you're using seedQR to store seeds.


If you're not a power user a standard CC is enough for anything.


Unpopular opinion: the coldcard mk3 is all most people will ever need.


Nah.


I'm grateful for bitcoiners!

I just tried to send an international wire between bank accounts that I've sent between before with no problem, and got denied this time. They didn't give a reason.

People who say bitcoin is a solution in search of a problem generally don't have many international assets to deal with. International connections between fiat rails are slow, expense, ever-debasing, and at any time the rules change and block you.

Fuck them. Accelerate.


Get one of chapiro's cold pillows, actually a good solution. coldbed.com


At least they're batching.


It was ONLY lightning for some time, iirc. This was even before the good old days when the daily spin was 10k sats 😂

One things I’ve been telling my friends is that you need to make sure you’re having fun with it, one way or another, no matter what you’re working on in life. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Hope you all are having fun with it and hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Introducing Kind0.io

A NIP-41 proof of concept.

What is NIP-41? A simple way to migrate from a compromised key into a new key while signaling to your followers what happened.

It works by whitelisting your next npub ahead of time and timestamping it to something that can order events chronologically (ie the Bitcoin blockchain)

When a key is lost or compromised the new key can sign a migration event, timestamp it as well and then clients can choose to act on it.

For more discussion on this, listen to nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 's recent Bitcoin.review where they go over the why and the tradeoffs.

Here’s is a very rough video of a very rough tool to implement this whole flow.

This is not the last word on key management; there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is a small step in the right direction that will allow us to migrate the existing nostr social graph to more cryptographically complex schemes for whoever wants to do that.

We have recently disabled the ability to zap nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network.

Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees.

The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network.

Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade.

We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.


Repeal the Bank Secrecy Act

https://www.coincenter.org/its-time-to-have-the-conversation-is-the-bank-secrecy-act-unconstitutional/


"Systemic decentralization is paramount to deterring political capture."


The majority of traders, and overseers of the broader financial layer in general, don't care too much about underlying fundamentals. Instead, they focus on market structure and want to trade digital pieces of paper within a multi-week window.

As such, many of them look at "blockchain technology" and ask "how can this improve trading settlement times from three days to a few hours?" That's why a lot of Wall St people are into "crypto". They view it as a better set of procedures for fiat settlement.

Very few are interested in changing the underlying money. Few know what money is. This remains a niche focus, of which I'm all in.


It's kind of cool that uneducated/uninformed takes like this stick out like a sore thumb on nostr 😂 I haven't heard the line "the tech behind Blockchain" in a few years 😂


Pho sooths the soul.


many scam wallets / Bitcoin apps on the Apple Store.

don't trust, verify. Don't type your seed words into internet connected devices.


I like having a master Coldcard generate all my hot wallet seeds. Way less to keep track of. If I delete the app, just go to my Coldcard and ask what the seed got account #x was. If I break my Coldcard, my Coldcard seed still has everything I need.


This morning's experimentation:

🧊Derive 12 word seed from Coldcard via bip85
📲Import that as a new wallet in Mutiny
💸Fund Mutiny from Phoenix
👥Add Npub/Nostr contacts
🔗Use Nostr wallet connect to Amethyst
⚡Zap my feed non custodially!

good morning, elon has turned twitter into a psyop machine, opt out, use nostr only 🫡

https://m.primal.net/HNfT.mp4


Can confirm life is much better since going Nostr only


Does anyone know a simple way to mirror posts on nostr/twitter? I met someone tonight at Bitcoin News that is looking to do this. Any insight would be helpful


The best thing about hanging out with Bitcoiners is that you get to forget about the dreadful state of the world for a few hours and feel excited about the future.

#Bitcoin is hope 🧡


Yeah the only overlap is nostr uses the same curve as btc, so you CAN use the same key material, but in most cases probably shouldn't. At least I have not seen a compelling reason to.


Now this is cool!


Oh, uh, no, that's all done off chain.


I guess actually this depends on what you mean by "verified"


Yes.


i think they have cut off the internet in Iran, was communicating with my cousin in Ahvaz, now there’s silence and messages aren’t delivering (telegram).

I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.

Four ruffians break into my house.

"What the devil?" I exclaim as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.

Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and it nails the neighbor's dog.

I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads!" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and shrapnel set off car alarms.

Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out in front of frantic paramedics since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.

Just as the founding fathers intended.


Practically everything that is worth doing is going to take much longer than you expect.
