I respect a lot of people and their differing views when I consider them to earnestly think that way.

I always approach them as an opportunity for discussion.

Where I tend to get provoked, is when I detect obvious falsehoods based on tribalism, politics, etc. Conscious disinformation.

I have sat with some rather famous individuals at private dinners many times, and it’s interesting to see which ones are similar in private as they are in public. Many are not.

Much of what you see is conscious misdirection. Keep that in mind.

Good morning. Today is a good day. The US Government has agreed to release TDev on bail according to a letter filed on July 3rd.

TDev's defense makes incredibly smart arguments, stating that the US Government's prosecution is as "aggressive as it is expansive, akin to charging Apple for  cybercrimes commited with MacBooks. And like such a charge, it impermissibly uses criminal law to affect policy change. He is facing  charges he can, should, and will contest at trial."

Putting the charges in context, the defense states that "to stop Bitcoin wallet providers from providing privacy and security services, or to  force them to police their customers as banks must, the government has not sought to change the law, or even FinCEN’s guidance on it."

The letter states that the US Government "has prosecuted individuals operating a service they had every reason to  believe was legal, and stretched to decorate the charges with  decontextualized quotes that attempt to sketch out their agreement to  criminal transactions the government does not allege they knew about in  advance or explicitly agreed to".

AND… WE ARE SOLD OUT! No more USD cashu tokens...!

What started as a proof-of-concept (POC) test last month with stable channels and Cashu mints turned out to be a huge success!

TL;DR: If you want us to keep this going and add more liquidity, please like and repost this for visibility.

We are actively working on increasing liquidity to continue this initiative. If you are interested in providing liquidity and earning some satoshis (sats), please DM me!

Stable Channel: The goal is to maintain a balanced channel by pegging the amount of sats to $1000 on one end. From May 13th until now, the stable channel has remained exceptionally stable, maintaining $1000 while the BTC price fluctuated from $63,000 to $71,000 and back down to $60,887. The channel balance on the stable receiver side never fell below $1000.

Stats on Stable channel:

Days uptime: 44
Payments made: 10,333
Largest Stable Receiver Amount: $1,014
Smallest Stable Receiver Amount: $984
Cumulative Payments: $17,912
Mean Payment: $1.73
Median Payment: $1.52
Standard Deviation: 1.26

Almost $18,000 in payments back and forth!

Cashu Mint: umint.cash is the only cashu mint that supports USD tokens now. Anyone can use a supported wallet to mint tokens by paying a lightning invoice. While many big stablecoin projects struggle to show proof of reserves/liabilities, we provide that info real time on the mint website. Dollar balance stays the same and not subject to volatility...!

Stats on Cashu USD Mint:

Casu tokens minted: 18,059
Cashu tokens melted: 13,997
USD value of cashu tokens minted: $5,500
USD value of cashu tokens melted: $4,501
Number of cashu wallets supported: 3

And the good thing is that these statistics are available real-time on the mint website https://umint.cash/ All we need to do now is to keep increasing the liquidity..! We are not bounded by exchanges or treasuries.. All within Bitcoin...

Please like and repost for visibility…!

Thanks for everyone involved in making this a success…!

Bullish


Some people have grown cynical with democracy (and various types of representative government broadly, e.g. including constitutional democratic republics that enshrine certain rights to protect liberty against the masses), viewing this method as promoting short-term leadership with bad incentives.

I have a different take.

Prior to the printing press and then the telegraph and radio, running a democratic society over long distances wasn’t even feasible. The concept of having people democratically participate in their government relies on people being relatively connected information-wise so that they can use their access to information to know what’s happening and to then select between different options, which you couldn’t do across the entirety of a country before people were literate and election materials or other publications could be mass produced. In the pre-press age of handwritten books, making written documents was expensive, and so literacy was a niche skill.

So, that era was ruled by kings and queens, council oligopolies, and so forth. Representative government, to the extent that it existed, only applied to small city states where people could literally gather in a town square, or to “elites” in a capital. There was literally no way to run an election over very broad distances on a regular basis. The printing press helped change that, and then the telegraph, radio, and other tech further reinforced it.

But ironically, as I discuss in Broken Money, those technologies also started to break our money. The printing press and telegraph allowed the transaction layer (the movement of IOUs between individuals and entities) to grow exponentially more efficient both domestically and globally, while our settlement layer (gold) remained basically unchanged. This broadening gap between fast transactions and slow settlements was increasingly bridged with centralization and credit, and the gap eventually became so wide that every nation dropped the settlement layer of gold almost entirely, except as a reserve asset.

So the same technologies that enabled widespread representative government also enabled the proliferation of softer money. Prior to these technologies, broad democracy wasn’t possible. And after these technologies, sound money was too slow to keep up. Oof.

But over a long enough timeframe, our technology became good enough that we finally figured out how to do fast settlements as well. Bitcoin. People can send value to each other quickly over long distances, in ways that no central entity can prevent or reverse, and with a unit that no central entity can debase. The first sound money of the Information Age.

If Bitcoin is successful over the coming decades and becomes a much larger and less volatile money, than it is now, fully entrenched in society, then that would be the first era where technology is at such a state where broad democracy and fast sound money can coexist. Or put more universally, it will be the first era where information spreads quickly without breaking the money, and thus both fast information and good money could coexist.

I, for one, would be curious to see how that develops.

Nostr is decentralized and censorship resistant, but the majority of the world doesn't care about these features until they need it.

Nostr has a value for value economy, but the majority of the world doesn't understand the concept or use bitcoin yet.

Nostr has a portable digital social identity, allowing you to be in control of your digital social identity for the very first time, allowing you to take your entire social graph with you, every time you use a different application from Nostr's ecosystem.

In general, at BTC Prague, while explaining Nostr to people, the digital social identity route was what clicked with the most people. From there, it's not a long stretch to understand building a reputation and web of trust either. These are all powerful points that people understand and use in their everyday lives.


It’s not about getting rich, it is about owning your time.


A tendency prevails to make a sharp distinction between such purely speculative ventures and genuinely sound investment. The distinction is one of degree only. There is no such thing as a nonspeculative investment. In a changing economy action always involves speculation. Investments may be good or bad, but they are always speculative. A radical change in conditions may render bad even investments commonly considered perfectly safe.

— Ludwig von Mises, Human Action

Trump Derangement Syndrome combined with Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome is going to create a level of cognitive dissonance in the mainstream media like we’ve never seen. 😭


The greatest cognitive dissonance is when you ask a normie why they happily pay taxes. They'll usually say indoctrinated items such as roads, education, etc. Then you ask if they agree that the money is "printed from thin air." If they're even remotely privy to anything economics related (which most aren't by design) and are aware of the removal of gold standard then they may agree with you that money has no intrinsic value if it originates from nothing. Then when you ask again why they pay taxes since the money is printed from nothing, implying paying taxes isn't a prerequisite for basic necessities as roads, education, etc., if their costs are meaningless within an infinite money supply... You get that classic fluoride stare. Windows blue screen in human form.

You are NOT a good person, if you have a price to do immoral actions. Moral Men, Women, and Children never have a price to break Morality, even if it costs them everything.


cosigning the shit out of this. the most coherent thing to confuse the shit out of people still trapped in a “left vs right” framework would be for Bernie to also endrose it and implicitly ally with Trump, given he (seemingly alone on the national stage) represents what the Democrats used to be when they had actual beliefs.

finger in the air guesstimate puts 70% of elected reps and 90% of dems in the same “party” that you may as well just call “the regime”, never mind “neocon”.

they don’t have “politics” in the sense you might find intellectually stimulating to debate besides their own power and wealth. Bernie actually does (even if you think some of it is a bit nuts) and Trump is arguably even more entertaining: he is pure chaos exposing these fault lines.

I have no idea where I was going with this ramble besides wanting to land on: Trump endorsing Bitcoin was inevitable. embrace it and shame any dems with a moral compass to one-up him and support it even harder. then sit back and enjoy the collapse of the GAE 👍

Bitcoin passphrase vs. multisig: Which is right for you?

Two approaches people often consider to gain additional bitcoin security are a passphrase (a one-word secret) and multisig (secures your bitcoin with multiple keys). Let’s see how these two approaches compare. 👇

Singlesig + passphrase
By adding a passphrase to your singlesig wallet, you add a 13th or 25th word of your choosing to your seed phrase, which generates a wholly separate and unique wallet from the default wallet generated without a passphrase. You can create an infinite number of passphrase wallets associated with a single seed phrase backup and hardware wallet.

A passphrase adds some protection in that it distributes your risk across three critical items (your device, seed phrase backup, and your passphrase), but it still has a major single point of failure. If your passphrase is ever lost or forgotten, your bitcoin are gone forever because you no longer have the key to the bitcoin wallet.

Multisig
Multisig is a bitcoin custody model where you construct a wallet using multiple bitcoin keys instead of just one. Multisig is very flexible, allowing wallet developers and even users to set the total number of keys used to construct the wallet (n) and the number of those keys required to spend (m). This creates what’s called an m-of-n quorum. There are practically infinite ways to approach multisig, but the most popular approaches are 2-of-3 (three keys total, with any two keys required to spend) and 3-of-5 (five keys total, with any three needed to spend).

Comparing passphrase with multisig: 7 points to consider

1⃣ Convenience - SS + passphrase is more convenient than DIY multisig but similar to collaborative custody multisig

2⃣ Ease of backup - It’s easier to back up a single hardware wallet, a seed phrase, and a passphrase than back up all the keys and seed phrases necessary to properly store your bitcoin in a standard multisig wallet.

3⃣ Availability - To understand the differences between passphrase and multisig for availability of access, you have to consider multiple possible scenarios: singlesig with and without properly secured passphrases, standard multisig, and collaborative custody multisig. Each of these has different availability of access profiles.

4⃣ Transaction costs - Mining fees in periods of low demand for block space are very cheap, leaving this category often irrelevant. However, it remains true that multisig transactions are more expensive than singlesig transactions. Using a passphrase with singlesig doesn’t add anything additional to the mining fee above standard singlesig; the mining fees are directly correlated with the number of keys involved in the transaction.

5⃣ Fault tolerance - Multisig shines against singlesig with a passphrase and singlesig in general when it comes to fault tolerance. That’s because the nature of multisig (and, again, proper key storage and seed phrase backups!) makes it very difficult to lose enough keys (and the necessary wallet configuration information) to lose access to your funds.

6⃣ Resisting attacks - Altogether, multisig has the slight upper hand for attack resistance. In 2-of-3, an attacker would have to physically compromise at least two physical locations without your knowledge and have specific knowledge that the discovered keys are used in multisig and compromise your multisig configuration information.

7⃣ Financial services - Collaborative custody multisig opens the door to financial services done in a trust-minimized way, such as collateralized loans (where three parties can share custody of funds so that all parties have transparency as to the state of the funds on the blockchain). It also uniquely solves for the problem of bitcoin inheritance.

Can you add a passphrase to multisig?
Yes, you can add passphrases to one or more of the keys used in your multisig m-of-n scheme. But should you? Most bitcoin users set up multisig wallets without passphrases because multisig already eliminates a given hardware wallet or seed phrase as a single point of failure. Adding passphrases can add unnecessary complexity, and unnecessary complexity diminishes security rather than improves it.

=====================

Every decision you make regarding bitcoin custody involves trade-offs. Perhaps multisig helps you sleep better at night, but you might have to drive several hours to get to that second key if you want to benefit from geographically-distributed keys. Or maybe you have to wait for your collaborative custody partner to verify your identity to sign with their key.

Choosing between singlesig (with or without a passphrase) and multisig isn’t an A or B choice; the answer for you might even be both! Maybe you want to secure the more significant portion of your net worth in a multisig collaborative context for peace of mind while keeping smaller amounts for easy access available in a software wallet on your phone.

It’s all about looking at your situation and finding a balance of trade-offs that work best for you and your family or organization.

7 reasons to run your own bitcoin node

If you’re wondering why you should run a bitcoin node yourself, there are many benefits to consider—both personally and for the security and resiliency of the bitcoin ecosystem.

1⃣ Enforce the bitcoin ruleset - Enforcing the ruleset helps uphold the integrity of bitcoin. If there is ever a proposed fork—a change in the rules—with which you disagree, running a node enables you to resist the change and continue to support the existing rules.

2⃣ Verify received transactions without third parties - Verifying received transactions with your own node offers you proof that nothing has been manipulated and no transaction you’ve received violates the ruleset.

3⃣ Improve your privacy - Using your own node prevents exposing identifying information about yourself unnecessarily, and your broadcasted transactions are relayed in the same way as any transaction, which helps protect the node’s identity.

4⃣ Get local access to blockchain data - Running your own node gives you better access to information about bitcoin and the bitcoin blockchain. There are a couple of powerful tools that help in this regard, the most notable being a locally-hosted block explorer.

5⃣ Help bolster the decentralization of bitcoin - When you run your own node at home, you take possession of a copy of the bitcoin blockchain and ruleset and maintain it at your unique physical location. No one can prevent you from accessing your node or limit your ability to use it.

6⃣ Run a Lightning node and open payment channels - A Lightning node is best run in tandem with a bitcoin archival full node (although it is possible to set one up without a bitcoin node, there are privacy and security trade-offs).

7⃣ Increase your bitcoin knowledge - Running your own bitcoin node offers all the advantages outlined above while increasing your knowledge of bitcoin and the key components that make it work. With the knowledge and experience you gain from running a node, bitcoin becomes more useful to you, and you’re able to help others use it as well.

8⃣ (BONUS) Connect your @unchainedcom vault to your own bitcoin node - You can verify the balances and transactions in your Unchained vault directly on your own node by using open-source software like @SparrowWallet or Caravan.

TRUMP LIKES THE COIN 🇺🇸


Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

https://m.primal.net/ISqH.png

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

https://m.primal.net/ISqJ.png

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

https://m.primal.net/ISqK.png

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

You’re the 🐐


- go to cashu.me and keep it open
- get a few sats worth of ecash from a mint
- settings -> enable nostr wallet connect
- copy connection string
- paste it into primal settings -> wallet
- zap harder

no accounts, no identities, just nuts flowing from you into the lightning network 🥜


Happy Mothers Day to all the ladies building strong families out there!


ecash is more than just custodial lightning


Freedom tech is getting prettier and more seamless by the day, thanks to the tireless work of countless developers and designers. Need assistance? #nostrdesign is here to help.

After multiple years of trying, Tim Apple FINALLY allowed me to KYC with his stupid company and bestowed upon me one of his Apple Developer accounts.

The mythical 10x engineer is a scam.

Efficiency in delivering software is the least interesting concern.

Real breakthroughs are made by 1000000x engineers. Not because they are such incredible developers.

No, it’s because they see WHAT to build in a way no one else can; their output yields paradigm shifts, not mere marginal efficiency gains.

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg is one such developer. Satoshi was another one.

📣 Introducing zap.store 0.1.0

For months I have been dreaming of a better app store, frustrated by big tech's permissioned bs, GPG's complexities, and Obtainium's reliance on centralized services and poor UX.

Here's the first (very alpha) iteration of zap.store, a permissionless app store leveraging the nostr social graph.

✔ Android only (for now! Desktop coming soon)
✔ Obtainium drop-in replacement (smaller catalog but growing)
✔ App releases are signed/curated by this account, as developers start self-signing
✔ Web of trust check before installing an app

Get it at https://zap.store or https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore

(SHA-256 hash of the APK version 0.1.0 is 8540bd492064c17d83bcdc6d2a463c2aea46f13c2b0d13b8a96023df95bd0c9d)

Feedback more than welcome, it's also possible to send directly from the ⚙ screen in the app

s/o to nostr legends nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q and nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 for their invaluable help


Brutal 😂


Whenever you feel dumb, just remember that there are people who bought negative-yielding bonds.


Social media incentives are broken.

Money comes from ads come from clicks come from content that makes users upset so they click it so they see more of it so the platform sells more ads so they make more cash.

Nostr fixes this; Bitcoin fixes this.

Far right or far left, the “extremes” are always the smallest and loudest groups, yet they are given the most attention. This leads to a social narrative that the “other” side is insane, everybody is polarized, and the world is going to hell in a hand-basket, when the reality is that most people are fairly normal and chill, good people who want the world to be a better place. Left or right, most people see the same problems and genuinely want it to be better, even if they disagree on the solutions.

Many Nostr users know that the Signal protocol is a very secure end-to-end encryption protocol, recommended by Snowden. However, many people do not know why the Signal protocol is secure. In fact, the design of the Signal protocol has a historical basis and is very intuitive and simple.

End-to-end encryption protocols have gone through three key stages: the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) protocol of the 1990s, the OTR (Off The Record) protocol of the 2000s, and the Signal protocol of the 201x.

PGP achieved end-to-end encryption through public key encryption. But if a private key leaks, all [past and future] messages can be decrypted. No [forward secrecy] and [backward secrecy].

[[In the PGP protocol, the identity key and the encryption key are the same; it serves as both the identity and is used to encrypt messages.]] [[As an identity key, it is a long-term key, and the longer it is used, the greater the likelihood of private key exposure.]]

The OTR protocol solves the problem of PGP. Its approach is simple: [[it separate the identity key from the encryption key and generates a unique encryption key for each conversation, which is deleted after use.]]

The Signal protocol inherited ideas from the OTR protocol. It mainly consists of two parts: the X3DH protocol, which is responsible for the initial key agreement, and the Double Ratchet Algorithm, which is responsible for deriving encryption keys. [[The Signal protocol derives a new encryption key for each message, which is deleted after use.]] It achieved better forward and backward secrecy.

BTW, the Signal protocol is not equivalent to the Signal app. WhatsApp also uses the Signal protocol for end-to-end encryption. The Signal protocol is only responsible for the end-to-end encryption of messages, meaning only the communicating parties can decrypt the content, not even the server administrators.

@nunchuk_io
 and
@ZeusLN
 options to Export Wallet
-View Identity shows temporary seed active at the top
-Can specify start index for address explorer export and browsing
-Allow unlimited index for BIP-85 derivations. Must be enabled first in Danger Zone

-Removed ability to add passphrase to master seed if active temporary seed.
-Wipe LFS during Lock Down Seed and Destroy Seed
-Do not allow non-ascii or ascii non-printable characters in multisig wallet name
-Brick Me option for If Wrong PIN caused yikes.
-Properly handle and finalize framing error response in USB protocol.
-Handle ZeroSecretException for BIP39 passphrase calculation when on temporary seed without master secret
-Saving passphrase on SD Card caused a freeze that required reboot
-Properly verify signed armored message with regtest address
-Create ownership file when generating addresses export CSV
-Recovery SD Card image building moved into its own repo: github com/Coldcard/recovery-images

And I see many clueless noobs nowadays very excited about running their "mobile LN node with Mutiny"... when in fact they are not far from using same old WoS...

Mutiny wallet default on mutinywallet.com domain.
That means:
- you own the LN node keys, yes
- you can manage your own LN channels, yes
- but you DO NOT own that domain.

If that domain goes busted (and can be any time), your funds CANNOT be accessed anymore.

https://m.primal.net/IAuj.jpg

I suggest to everybody that use Mutiny to review very seriously their setup and run their own Mutiny server.
I really do not understand why we do not see any Mutiny dev and many other influencers encouraging the users doing so!

Here you have the documentation:

The default is surveillance now


One day, it would be nice to see a well-capitalized challenge to the Bank Secrecy Act on 4th amendment grounds.

The Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw that people need a license to transmit money, or that the government thinks it has the right to surveil and censor everyone’s money and transactions.

The default is privacy. To infringe on someone’s privacy should require probable cause and come with checks and balances. Ubiquitous surveillance shouldn’t be the default, since it enables tyranny. https://image.nostr.build/59d050b8cf8f75a3d469e83812a0be6681bcad506e63bc0bf4417cfece14d0b8.jpg

The “AND THEN THEY FIGHT YOU” phase was ALWAYS part of the path of a successful bitcoin.


COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin.

The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”.

And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t.

If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are.

At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law.

Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken.

The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this.

And I hope they kill it. With fire.

What jack and samsom could do is lobby in the US against these laws, I don't think it matters if they are French, they might be breaking US law by serving US users. I don't think they want to stay and then find out. WoS already pulled out, Synonym never served in the US bc of all that. Time for US bitcoiners to push back on that.


Some essential characteristics of Mutiny Wallet.

Non-custodial:
- You are in control of your keys
- The node runs on your device
- Any critical data that exists is saved on your device and encrypted remotely for backups

Not an LSP:
- We do not run a node or LSP, we interface with others
- You may open channels to any node
- We never process any lightning channel, payments, on-chain txs, UTXOs, etc.
- Our lightning address server is built with blinded auth, and we can't link payments to your node

Open-source:
- MIT
- The web app is available in case app stores go down
- Self-hostable, already bundled with start9

We strongly believe in building software that gives users the most control and least dependence upon us. It's not easy; centralization brings a much better user experience. However, for the longevity of ourselves, our product, and our users, this is what we believe is the correct path to take.

3. Install app from their github, without any fucking app store

4. Restore from seed.

I don't want to darken the mood but I bet government-coerced Github censorship is next

On the bright side, the government has been getting spanked by judges and the lawsuits resulting from their current actions could come back to bite them, i.e., entrenching the rights we deserve as free people in case law.


What are the accusations?


You have 2 men facing 25 years in prison for operating a non-custodial bitcoin wallet that, in the eyes of the DOJ - which categorizes them as a money transmission business  (https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/founders-and-ceo-cryptocurrency-mixing-service-arrested-and-charged-money-laundering) is not THAT much different from phoenix wallet.

The Samourai fight is everything right now.


Wow


El Salvador or Costa Rica?


Many bitcoiners think establishment powers are now in the "and then they join you" phase of the struggle.

I don't. I think they're more entering the earlier "and then they fight you" phase.

Or more specifically, they are happy to join in on the price exposure side (i.e. ETFs), but they are fighting against privacy (especially) and self-custody (to some extent). The struggle for financial privacy, custody, and overall self-autonomy is just heating up.

The gradual shift of critics from "bitcoin is a useless speculative asset with no intrinsic value" to "bitcoin is so powerful that direct usage of it must be curtailed" can be dangerous.

How to recover your funds on Samourai Wallet using Sparrow Wallet in 2 minutes. Clipped from today's Simply Sessions with  nostr:npub1gu47n7fxfm4py48jktmu6tdqcvva4e87fntynuzzf62zxnw2e7tsc6907g

They are coming for self custody


Still nothing would happen 😂


How is @SamouraiWallet a "money transmitting business" if users never surrender their private keys? How is there a "transfer" if users retain custody?

Otherwise, why isn't an ISP a MTB? Or a miner? Or a node operator?

Announcing new law by imprisonment is disgusting. https://image.nostr.build/2ab1f7b29ab44eede4d5c3b9afca07071617c1e4c6832413c45077d8593d6729.jpg

Copied form sethforprivacy:

Everything actionable you need to know about what this indictment means for you as a @SamouraiWallet (SW) or Whirlpool user 👇

As a Samourai Wallet user (no Dojo)

Unfortunately, the architecture of SW meant that your xpub (a master public key, allowing anyone holding it to derive all your past/present/future Bitcoin addresses) was at some point in time held by Samourai, and could now possible in the hands of the DOJ.

Though it's a worst-case scenario, you should assume that your xpub was compromised, and thus all previous mixes you have done have been unwound and are now traceable. You should also assume that the gov can now derive all past/present/future addresses of yours and track movement of funds if so desired.

In addition, Samourai's coordinator and backend sync server was seized, and so SW will no longer sync, show received funds, or allow sending funds out. As such, you have to migrate funds to another wallet like @SparrowWallet following the docs here:

docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore…

In addition, I would recommend migrating funds to a new seed phrase to prevent anyone holding the xpub from seeing all future received/spent funds.

You should also disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.

As a Samourai Wallet user (using your own Dojo)

Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo users xpubs were compromised.

You will still be able to sync/send/receive from your Samourai Wallet app, but should also migrate funds eventually as no further updates will come out for Samourai Wallet. If you want to migrate, use the docs below:

docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore…

You should, however, disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.

As a Sparrow Wallet user

Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised as well. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo/Sparrow users xpubs were compromised.

There is no real need to rotate to a new wallet etc, and Sparrow is still an excellent option. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to mix in Sparrow as the Samourai coordinator was seized.


Privacy is not a crime.

But apparently if you dare to earn money by helping others improve their financial privacy, that's a crime. 😐


Fuck him


Today is a bad day for Bitcoin.


Feels like the end of an era.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.


wtf man


Since the fee spike, it feels a bit like the real-world economic capacity of Bitcoin has dropped from 21M to whatever is left in Lightning channels.


I'm not here on Nostr because I run away from Twitter. I'm here because I'm in search for an internet as it once used to be.

I'm a hacker who fucking hates that social media is in the hands of private companies. I remember using IRC and meeting likeminded anons online. I remember what the internet utopia felt like. People who didn't care what your name or status is, people who aren't interested in sharing their boring holiday pics with random strangers online. I'm not interested in what politicians and influencers have to say. I don't care about the latest mainstream trend that's going viral.

I want random weird interesting smart people around me who share their ideas in a free and open space that isn't controlled by anyone.

That's all I'm looking for. There aren't many such spaces on the internet.

Wokeism:

Whenever politicians clutch pearls or attempt to brow beat bitcoiners about money laundering it is important to remind them that the US government is the biggest money launderer on the planet.

The Treasury issues debt out of thin air, the money gets handed to the Department of Defense and they overpay defense contractors 900x for commonplace nuts and bolts, among other things. This leads to obscene profits for the war industry and they shave off a small chunk of those profits to ensure the politicians that will vote for bigger defense budgets stay in power. Rinse and repeat.

This isn’t confined to the war industry either. It happens across the spectrum. Another example is Operation Warp Speed, which was an example of the Federal government directly funding and obscenely overpaying for a COVID vaccine that poisoned people.

What we’re witnessing is the largest “looting of the treasury” in human history. Politicians and the corporate interests that back them are robbing the American people blind. Taking their money directly via taxes, indirectly via inflation and at the same time running up the biggest government debt bill the world has ever seen.

The politicians who enable this and then clutch pearls about bitcoin’s potential to enable money laundering are the scum of the Earth.

We are all being robbed in broad daylight and the thieves are making you out to be the criminal. Truly diabolical

The government is not your friend. It exist to strip you of your wealth and your freedom.

Your elected representatives are waving the flag of a foreign nation as they cheer for the billions they will send to fund a war you never agreed to pay for.

So far we’ve copied most of Twitter. They have decades of learning what’s best for a microblogging product.

We’d be fools to ignore it.

But zaps are a new concept.

Presenting them as highlighted zaps like this, as envisioned by nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q , makes them stand out massively.

The UI follows what a new-comer would expect. Except zaps.

One of the distinct features of nostr stands out immediately igniting curiosity.

There will be many more opportunities like this, to represent a unique feature of nostr, not as a weird obscure thing to hide, but as something to be put front and center, to lean-in into what makes nostr special.

I’ve developed an oddly specific routine, all the more interesting for it being more or less accidental and organic. I post more on twitter, but it is almost exclusively shitposting, because the wider reach frankly just makes it funnier. but I spend considerably more time on nostr (while posting less) because the content is undeniably better. and when I do post here I tend to have a higher standard for myself, lean towards longer form, etc, as I see it more as contributing to discourse than just cracking jokes and trolling people. there’s no conclusion here (from me at least) but interesting to chew on …
