As of 2023, Chase Bank serves 50 million mobile app and 60 million digital active customers.  Chase Total Checking® is Chase’s flagship consumer checking account product. It offers access to over 15,000 ATMs and more than 4,700 branch locations across the U.S.

I wonder, at this exact moment as I type this, how many million-dollar-cash-level criminals have Chase accounts, and are being recorded, right now, on security cameras at Chase ATMs and in Chase branch lobbies.

100? 1000?

KYC for thee but not for me.

Etiquette proposal: if you invite someone from another #timezone to a teleconference, the onus is on you to present all times in their local timeszone, rather than your own - that is, the person asking should bear the labor of timezone conversions, not the person being asked.

#Bitcoin is my #ikigai
https://m.primal.net/HYHy.png


My 4th child was 10 1/2 lbs delivered naturally 😱. I suffered with severe sciatica after delivery which was mostly resolved by my chiropractor and working with a PT, but it was still a 2/10 on the pain scale, so 3 years ago (10 years after giving birth ) I travelled to Houston to get the “Ring Dinger”. It completely eliminated my pain and has never returned and I haven’t needed the services of a chiro since.

I’m a big fan of alternative treatments and think everyone should consider them for conditions that are not resolved by traditional medicine.

Anyway, here’s my video which may not be for the faint of heart if you are squeamish 😬 https://video.nostr.build/42dedd7c9a18c5a822fc4861a921740a56d8e7e2d88c62cc6bb5122cb89e0fd6.mp4

I'm really quite afraid of this ever-growing list of entropy/randomness/RNG flaws through time, as it relates to all our much vaunted bitcoin-specific hardware and software:

1930s: Enigma, encrypted letter could never be the same as the original letter
1994: Netscape SSL, seeds easily guessed, such as the time of day
2008: Debian/Ubuntu OpenSSL, only 32,000 unique host keys
2013: Android SecureRandom, repeated Bitcoin public keys
2023: MilkSad, Libbitcoin Explorer (bx), Mersenne Twister 32 bit (4 billion keys) limit

Thanks for the reminder to use tor; I think I'm using orbot as I post this note...

Any way to get a similar effect, but a bit less (from chatgpt: pretentious, condescending, smug, pedantic, show-off, know-it-all, pompous, arrogant, egocentric), by instead publishing hashes in a central location?

#privacytechpro tip: provide anonymity for yourself and others. use tor more often, not just for mission critical "secret" stuff.

the anonymity tor provides comes from blending in with the crowd. i.e. more traffic is better.

use it for everything that supports it and makes sense based on your threat model (probably not your bank, financial institutions, or netflix).

if your email supports tor (like proton etc), start checking your email over tor, read the news over tor. use tor with https sites that don't ban tor, especially use them when they have an official hidden services onion site.

even facebook has a hidden services onion site where they can't see your ip (they can over clearnet) even without a vpn.

note: i do not recommend using fb...ever.

show companies that blacklist tor that tor is for everyday legitimate privacy and anonymity purposes not just for "suspicious activity".

normalize using the tor network.

p.s. malicious exit nodes cannot see your traffic if it is encrypted ex: tls (https sites) or .onion sites. http sites are not encrypted and should be avoided whever possible.

YOU CANNOT. SELF CUSTODY LIGHTNING ADDRESSES ARE DIFFICULT.

THE EASIEST WAY I HAVE FOUND IS RUNNING A NODE VIA VOLTAGE AND USING THEIR BUILT IN TOOL FOR LINKING A LN ADDRESS.

ALTERNATIVELY YOU COULD USE PRIMAL'S BUILT IN CUSTODIAL WALLET FOR ZAPS AND THEN TRANSFER FUNDS TO PHOENIX WHENEVER YOU ARE ABOVE 200K SATS.


interested in an anonymous esim service (US/UK numbers) that works worldwide that is an actual mobile number (data + inbound calls and texts only) that you can pay for with #sats without exposing your identity (no KYC)?

listen to this interview with the silent link admin and learn about why you shouldn't make non e2ee calls and texts whenever possible.

tl;dr your carrier tracks your precise location (even without a sim, can use device triangulation) ties the kyc info with your device imei number, has access to the content of your calls and texts and can drop in at will into your ongoing calls for content and voice fingerprinting etc. you should treat these kinds of legacy calls and texts as open information.

take the time to listen. don't sleep on this

SAME THING WE DO EVERY DAY BOOTLACE - STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS


...and a nym...


I forget, what am I supposed to do today?


So there's this progression. First you see something like Cashu when you say, "Oh, it's a custodial lightning wallet with better privacy for users and no accounts." And then you realize, "Oh, I can use this to pay someone who is offline. I just send them a string and that’s the ecash note.” And then you realize, "Oh, this works over long range radio with very low bandwidth. And then you realize, oh, if we trust the same mint, we can actually use it to route  lightning payments without open channels to the mint (the channel is the trust). And we can use it as a lightning wallet for ourselves. And then you can say, oh, we can create these community mints for “islands” that are not connected to the internet.

And then you realize, "Oh, there can be more than one Uncle Jim, and we don't have to trust this one person. We can have shared custody, and this thing has better privacy." And suddenly you realize you are were not expecting anything like this at all when you first saw it, when it began. It has completely different implications than what I was expecting previously.

It's the same with Nostr. It's like, "Oh, this is not a very good protocol. It depends on a few relays and you can’t even store images on it and who would use it." And it's cumbersome. Now there are blogging platforms and communities and marketplaces and AI communicating over it. And there's this innovation that no one was expecting when they first started. It was like thinking about the protocol and trying to judge it by its design, but its use (and implications) is discovered, not designed. Same way you can send a calendar invite over email, or do encrypted group chats over it (DeltaChat).

It’s interesting to see, how we use technologies that in theory should not have worked, but in practice, they do. Bitcoin is one of them. The probability of its success was very low.

A friend of mine said in a podcast with me that Bitcoin’s risk adjusted value is actually better than a decade ago. Yes, you could have bought cheap Bitcoin. But its success back then was very improbable. Now you are buying the asset of the parallel financial system, back then, it was a membership card in a club of geeks. After several that have failed…


Introducing Nutband – a post fiat apocalypse Cashu client working over Reticulum

A demo of Reticulum, Cashu and my project Nutband that combines them,  in order to use a Cashu mint over Reticulum mesh network – in this case  over long range radio, and without internet.

Finally made the demo video

Nothing says "Broken Money" quite like a central bank that is operating at structural losses now and has negative capital.

For the first time in modern history, the central bank of the world reserve currency is just structurally unprofitable.

In the future, I think today's models around central banking are going to look silly. Tech makes things cheaper year after year but the mandate of central banks is to gradually make things more expensive.

It all fell into place gradually piece by piece, but if you didn't have the concept today and just proposed it "as is", it would sound extremely silly.
