You want to try out CoinJoin and PayJoin, but don't know where to start?

Uncle got you covered! Here is an easy going video demoing how to use your nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg to CJ+PJ in like 5 minutes.

Now you can easily increase privacy of your #Bitcoin stash.

Questions?

https://youtu.be/84BHF0JzerQ

Just had to show off trailer first. Below is the complete video where I walk you through everything step-by-step.

Use 40 sats/vbyte environment to give CoinJoins a try.

A big shout-out to nostr:npub1y24gz5gwucl79vtv4ctwpysl0r5m4xyzu2rgulnr44ks3t5mt92q4nz2ad for coding everything necessary to make this video possible.

https://youtu.be/Qwo8qcfnZ14

This all started a couple months ago with drama on not being able to withdraw from exchanges to certain addresses.

With this setup, you can now easily withdraw to nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg, and your coins will be auto-forwarded to your cold storage in the end.

### Where to from here?

Leave your comments and questions, and I'll do my best to answer.

Reshare and like for visibility; thanks for supporting Uncle! 🫂

Huge thanks to nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2 for all the editing, follow the guy and subscribe to our YouTube channel where he publishes a lot of goodies: https://www.youtube.com/@BTCPayServer

Also, while recording this video, I discovered some fantastic content creators. I highly recommend checking out their videos:

First off @N8hanWilliams offers a wealth of excellent Bitcoin related tutorials, including a course on Wasabiwallet.

I highly recommend subscribing to his YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9hdav36WAo

Then there's IanMajor, who not only featured one of my memes in his Twitter header, but also runs awesome YouTube channel.

Also - a recommendation to subscribe to his YouTube.

welcome, set up your wallet for welcome zaps


if you haven't experienced a bull market while hodling #Bitcoin ...

prepare yourself mentally. Get your self custody in order. Whatever you're anticipating will probably not be the case.

A good goal is to end the cycle with more BTC in COLD STORAGE than you began it with. The euphoria of 5-10k candles will test your conviction.

Proceed with caution. Don't succumb to high time preference scams & don't leave your BTC in someone else's hands for illusory "yield".

When you self custody BTC, life is yield. Where we're going, nothing is worth the security trade off of 3rd party custody.

Don't get reckless. Security is not one and done solution. Spend time setting up a node and self custody solution that works for your situation.

Set stacking goals & don't let off the gas when things start to go parabolic.

Patience & diligence can set you free.

PS. the laws that will make us all criminals haven't been written yet...

Have you considered a remote citadel in another country anon?

🎉 HRF is excited to announce its Q4 round of Bitcoin Development Fund grants 🎁

💰 $500,000 to 18 projects across areas such as global education, Bitcoin Core, mining decentralization, and support for devs in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

One grantee is Mostro, a peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange created by Venezuelan developer Francisco Calderon. It is designed to facilitate censorship-resistant financial transactions under authoritarian regimes.

📚 MyFirstBitcoin, a non-profit in Central America, is another recipient. They offer an open-source Bitcoin education program. With HRF’s support, they’ll be able to increase their international expansion, bringing crucial knowledge to more closed societies.

Arabic Hodl is making Bitcoin education more accessible to the more than 400 million Arabic-speaking people worldwide. Hodl’s project includes creating how-to guides, privacy tutorials, educational podcasts, and foundational Bitcoin literature in Arabic.

🌐🔍 Netblocks receives support for their vital work in monitoring global internet restrictions. Continuous internet monitoring is crucial for activists and journalists to maintain their freedom of expression, access to information, and safety. Strong internet is also important for financial freedom.

HRF is funding developer Lorban for his work on StratumV2. Stratum V2 enables mining pool users to select transactions for proposed blocks, instead of relying on templates from pools, increasing Bitcoin’s censorship resistance. ⛏

John Carlson's efforts to improve the Bitcoin Core App project is also receiving support. Through this work, he hopes to lower technical barriers and make Bitcoin transactions more accessible to a wider audience, starting with users on Android devices.

Area Bitcoin, founded by Carol Souza and Kaka Furlan, is expanding its Brazilian educational content across Latin America. The HRF funding will enable translations of their resources into Spanish and English. 📚🌎

🇳🇮In Nicaragua, Berta Valle is focusing on Bitcoin education for human rights defenders in Latin America. Her project will empower dissidents and civil society leaders with Bitcoin to help them become financially resilient against oppressive regimes.

Bitshala in India is creating a hub of Bitcoin knowledge and community. With HRF's support, they'll provide tutorials, technical training, and resources for budding Bitcoin developers in the country. 🇮🇳🌱💡

HRF is supporting hack.bs in Italy. With the grant, hack.bs is establishing a cypherpunk hackerspace that will bring together locals and global experts in the areas of financial freedom and the defense of privacy. 🇮🇹🛡

Bitcoin Deepa is nurturing the Bitcoin community in Sri Lanka. HRF funding will enhance their educational efforts and promote Bitcoin adoption among local merchants. 🇱🇰💼

🌍Exonumia translates Bitcoin educational content into African languages like Shona, Malagasy, Amharic, Kiswahili, and Lingala. Funding will support their efforts to expand to more languages, raise awareness of Bitcoin, and grow financial-freedom oriented communities.

HRF is supporting L0la L33tz’s efforts to create a Bitcoin privacy guide for beginners, with a special focus on activists, dissidents, and NGOs in hostile environments. We look forward to publishing and sharing this document in 2024. 🌐🛡

HRF is awarding a grant to Groundswell in the UK. Groundswell supports Bitcoin education for refugees and diaspora communities, particularly from the Middle East. The project will host workshops, practical training, and help refugees (plus their families) receive their first Bitcoin. 🇬🇧🌍

⛏HRF is supporting Kulpreet Singh's work on Braidpool, a proposed peer-to-peer mining pool. By allowing miners to build their blocks and reducing pool operators’ grip on payouts, Braidpool is designed to enhance Bitcoin’s censorship resistance and decentralized nature.

HRF is proud to support SeedSigner developer Keith Mukai. Funds will facilitate MicroPython research and development to enable operations on affordable microcontrollers. This will eliminate Raspberry Pi dependencies, making SeedSigner more robust and accessible. 🔐

Bitcoin++, a developer-focused conference series around the world. Funding will cover educational efforts, general conference expenses, as well as travel expenses for developers from authoritarian countries.

Bitcoin Atlantis, a conference in Madeira. HRF funding will help human rights defenders, civil society leaders, and educators working in dictatorships to attend the event to share their experiences with thousands of Bitcoin builders, creators, and educators. 🇵🇹🌊

With these grants, HRF continues to push the boundaries of financial freedom, privacy, and human rights through Bitcoin. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting initiatives. We’re looking forward to greater innovation in 2024! 🚀🔐

No, still happening. Weird


It started with one…

#[0] planted the seed of change alone…

#[1], #[2], #[3], #[4], #[5], and many skillful others gave their time and energy, nurturing the young sapling, which began to grow…

Some of us lucky enough to stumble upon this young marvel stood in awe, amazed by the beauty and power of something so small but with so much potential…

#[6], #[7], #[8], #[9], #[10], #[11], #[12], #[13], #[14], #[15], #[16], #[17], #[18], #[19], #[20], #[21], #[22], #[23], #[24], #[25], #[26], myself and many others did whatever we could, using our different talents to share our newly found love with anyone who would listen…

#[27] and #[28] used the great power and reach of their voices to spread the good word; something miraculous was growing…

Now thousands upon thousands gather together to marvel at this incredible creation, with more joining every day.

We are *here* and we are everywhere. We will fight for this, for what it is, and for what it can become.

Now, the tree of change stands tall, and it is growing faster each day.

It started with one. It ends with everyone.
