I feel like Edge wallet had a merchant directory. Not sure if they still do. 

 Yep, it's a Case Wallet.

Great concept but poor execution.

 It didn't last long.

 It relied up their server infrastructure.

 Saving and spending are both use cases. 

 Please enable zaps! 

 If you don't think speculation and gambling are markets, I don't know what to tell you. 

 Folks have whined about Bitcoin not being a proper currency since inception. 

 Cry harder 😘 

 Ser you need to enable zaps so you can stack sats on nostr too. 

 You can load a GPG key into multiple yubikeys.

Any decent service should allow you to add multiple 2FA yubikeys. 

 Yes 

 I am fairly judicious because I don't like sending dust.

Although my volume is low, my average send amount is 7X my average receive amount. 

 I guess I have a high bar for posts I consider insightful or entertaining. 

 I like mine. It's just hard to find good optics that can handle the recoil. 

 Pretty flat

 They can see all the UTXOs that you spent to fund the transaction. 

 I'm not a fan of passphrases because they result in a brittle 2-of-2 setup. If you lose either the seed phrase or the password, you lose access to your funds. 

 Ding ding ding 😇 

 Yes it's a valueless shitcoin for developers to play with so they need not put real funds at risk when engineering bitcoin software. 

 Should be the same as mainnet, you just have to set your node's to use the testnet network in their configs.

The trickier part would be finding lightweight lightning wallets that support testnet. 

 Correct  

 Different network magic bytes, different address versions, slightly different mining rules.

 Not sure if OpenWRT runs on x86 but I found OPNSense rather user friendly.

 I'd love to get a nice airdrop, but I doubt there's enough value available to be extracted from the ordinals side of a fork.

Should probably start with a futures market to test the waters of this theory.

 Yes, both backups are brittle.

In my experience, people tend to

A) Create incredibly complex passphrases
B) Not back them up because they created the passphrase in their head

Also, I think folks fool themselves about the utility of durress wallets.

In general, I like seedxor more because you KNOW it's getting backed up AND the backups have plausible deniability. 

 Mainly that duress wallets are speculative.

1. You're speculating about the attacker's knowledge and motivation. For example, there was a physical attack recently in which the victim gave up their wallet pretty quickly, but the attacker kept torturing them for hours in case they were holding out.

2. You're speculating about how you'd act in a high stakes stressful situation. 

 I'm pretty sure that guy has been anti-Bitcoin for a decade soooooo good luck. 

 It's time for end of year review metrics! 

 In my experience the total addressable market for node devices is 5K-10K and many folks who buy them actually buy every company's device just to try it out.

And a ton of folks who buy them never even set them up. 

 Your profile doesn't seem to be zap enabled. 

 I told Roger from the very beginning that he should have called it "bitcash" but he was hung up on being Bitcoin. 

 Instructions unclear, my 401K has been almost all GBTC for many years. 

 Not much, just feels like he's running out of runway. 

 If it's a SATA SSD I'd assume disk throughput would be the culprit. Have you checked that and compared it to a disk throughput benchmark test? 

 That wouldn't be very fair since no other client supports it 😆 

 Sounds like a job for Starlink! 

 You could also look into Blockstream Satellite if you want to nerd out. Just a one time setup cost of a couple hundred dollars IIRC. 

 Yup, over tor of course.

It's kinda funny that tor nodes are MORE reachable than clearnet nodes because there are no NAT issues. 

 I'll take that as a "no." 😆 

 Even Lowery failed to respond to my critique of his thesis; we shouldn't expect any of his sycophants to be able to mount a better rebuttal.
