As such we now have a wide swath of educated, above-average IQ, ostensibly otherwise sensible Americans cheering on the fomenting of World War III in Ukraine, justifying ideological censorship contra the very First Amendment of the United States Constitution, unchecked illegal immigration irrespective of financial and social cost, among other insane policies of which virtually no one had been in favor when they identified as garden-variety liberals 10 years ago.

While evil ideas are the root of evil actions, it's monetary monopoly that makes the most evil ideas actionable.

The Running Bitcoin Challenge fundraiser Fran runs for ALS every year is my favorite.  Join/support us next year even if you don't run!


We don't have a PR budget or a marketing department, so it's up to me and our users to refute false claims made by established, or aspiring, hardware wallet makers.

If I have not been as clear on this as I could have been, or emphasized it enough: Our model has not changed since the outset of the project. Our software intentionally runs on simple, inexpensive, widely available commodity hardware with no software authenticity mechanisms.

This means that our users are responsible for verifying the integrity of the code they run on their SeedSigner, because you can run any code that you would want to on the device (with great power comes great responsibility). If maliciously modified software is run on a signer, there are exploits that can be attempted. Dark skippy is an optimization of an already known attack approach, but does not expose any new fundamental weakness to our approach to cold storage. If users verify they are running our released code (which is a quick and simple process) our security model remains robust and one that myself and all of our contributors fully stand behind.

Instructions to verify our releases are available in the repo, and if you haven't used your signer in a while, or if you have any concerns about who has had access to it, just re-verify and re-deploy our software and you are all set.

I will continue to beat the drum about this as best I can. Our L1 storage model is by design intended to be as trustless and permissionless as possible, for those who want to minimize their reliance on or trust in third parties, and also as a fallback for people in parts of the world where hardware wallets are unavailable or the attempted acquisition of them could come with personal risk.

If you love bitcoin and love freedom, even though our project may not be your preferred approach to cold storage, you should want SeedSigner and projects similar to it to not only exist, but to grow and flourish. https://image.nostr.build/71696a8100ed74f3e27d2e7c30b7553fda887a118b6dfee4964a0758dbec6840.jpg

🤔

> According to a supplemental expert report conducted by the Mastercard-owned blockchain analysis firm Ciphertrace, Ciphertrace had found "discrepancy rates between Ciphertrace and Chainalysis attribution data upwards of 60%", and an error rate "upwards of 64%" for the behavioral heuristic. Ciphertrace noted that, in the Sterlingov case, "over 527,000 Bitcoin Fog addresses" were clustered by Chainalysis using the behavioral heuristic, and that "Ciphertrace does not utilize Heuristic 2 (behavioral) because it is inaccurate, error-prone, and over inclusive".
Ciphertrace's report concluded that "Chainalysis attribution data should not be used in court for this case nor any other case: it has not been audited, the model has not been validated, nor has the collection trail been identified".

Some notes on this:

Every morning I get up and work for bitcoin, but this is a a bit more literal... 😜 As many of you know I build and sell signers as a way to get them into more people's hands, and to support my individual work on our project. The revenue from the signers and other things I sell in my online shop (https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site; Entropia, Go Kits, SeedKeepers, etc.) is how I'm able to cover expenses related to the project, and to travel to conferences and meetups where I can share information on SeedSigner and what I've learned during my personal bitcoin journey relative to cold storage, given my unique background. Here and there I'm also able to help cover some of our family's expenses.

When we recently transitioned to a new approach to user donations at https://donate.seedsigner.com I intentionally withdrew myself as a donation recipient. I wanted our most active technical contributors to be the ones benefitting from donations, directly receiving periodic digital monetary expressions of gratitude over time as the project grows and reaches more and more bitcoiners. (As a side note -- if you're a user or otherwise receiving value from our project, I'd encourage you to send some sats their way via the above URL.)

As for myself, I've always offered to sell signers p2p for bitcoin via DMs / email, but for a long time I've been wanting to level up in that regard. Over the last weeks I've finally gotten a proper LN node set up, where I also run nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg and a modest (for now) web presence. I need to express a lot of gratitude to nostr:npub1l5pxvjzhw77h86tu0sml2gxg8jpwxch7fsj6d05n7vuqpq75v34syk4q0n, nostr:npub1r7psmkr4zv93xnal8un6d8hvmpsn5jvhfzn3kk38rfcel6awznks7znspg and nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for their help as I've worked to become more of a 1st class bitcoin citizen.

With planned trips to Nashville, Atlanta, and Amsterdam to represent the project on the horizon, I'm looking to stack some sats that will help me continue to spread the SeedSigner gospel of a more trustless, more self-reliant approach to saving with bitcoin. So I've set up this small online store where I'll be selling some of the items from my Square shop for sats. I'm starting with milled aluminum signers (kudos to nostr:npub1l2xfcjd8k5l3c6mkpd95uptdnxcqw5yms0pz57l7v46qzgdju0msy96ndl for his continued amazing work on these enclosures) and I'm offering a small discount and free protective case for paying with bitcoin.

If you've been looking for the right opportunity to upgrade your SeedSigner experience, or if you've been waiting for a decent deal on one, please consider supporting my work in this way -- the URL is below.

Otherwise, a big thank you all for the kindness and support that so many bitcoiners have shown me over the last couple of years -- I hope to get to shake your hand at an event soon. 🧡🙏

AML/CFT laws make you less safe. Not more.

In 2022, 78% of European banks experienced a data breach. Yet AML/CFT laws continue to attempt to mandate increasing amounts of data collection, from IP Addresses to social media activities. This data is routinely targeted, exploited, and sold on dark markets.

In honor of gigabrain takes like "We NeEd SuRrVeiLlAnCe To FiGhT CrImE", this Rage Weekly I compiled a list of 40+ recent data breaches involving the leak of personal data – just in case anyone tries to tell you that increased surveillance leads to an increase in security.

What about the rights of the property owner? Small Mom & Pop landlords might have their entire life savings dumped into a rental property and their retirement relies on the passive income from operating a short term rental business. Now the government just gets to decide they have the right to defy free market forces and crush their savings vehicle!? That's fucked. 4 years notice is respectable but its not going to lower prices. Maintenance & upkeep costs, utilities, property taxes, INSURANCE,  mortgage interest rates....all these have have gone up at least 40% with no signs of slowing down.. I have no clue if tourists are the real problem here but my guess is they're just the scapegoat.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” - Alexander Tytler

Right now:

Fiat= From apathy to dependence
Bitcoin= From bondage to spiritual faith.

JUST IN: Peer-to-Peer Rights Fund Launched to Protect Open-Source Devs, Starting with Samourai Case

The P2P Rights Fund will provide resources to subsidize defense counsel and sponsor amicus briefs in pivotal cases, support and finance affirmative impact litigation to secure crucial legal precedents, and offer free or subsidized regulatory advice to developers of non-custodial Bitcoin tools.

Loved your broken money video! Sent it to all the people I gave a copy of your book to because I know they probably didn't read it (yet). Its so fucking hard to break thru people despite their unuitively knowing the money is broken (e.g. a dollar won't buy them a chicken wing anymore when it only used to be .25 every Wednesday! )

GM, Have a great day


GOOD MORNING SIR. GREAT SERIES OF CD RIPS. ONWARD


Hey Dan(s)


10 ways to support ZEUS in 2024

1. Download and try out the app

ZEUS is mobile bitcoin lightning for Android and iOS. It lets you spin up a self-custodial lightning wallet on your phone, or connect to a remote node that you may have at home (Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz, myNode etc.) or in the cloud (Voltage).

You can onboard to lightning with ease using our LSP, or open up lightning channels on your own to anyone you want on the network. The app also feature a self-custodial lightning address (ZEUS Pay), a Nostr-powered contact book, a standalone and Square-integrated point of sale system, and countless other features.

It's 100% free and open source software.

Website: https://zeusln.com/

Download: https://zeusln.com/download

2. Leave a review

If you like the app, leave a positive review on the app store! Positive reviews increase visibility on the store and help us get more users.

Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zeus-ln/id1456038895

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.zeusln.zeus

2. Write and review code

If you're a coder we could always use more code contributors and reviews of our open pull requests. Almost 50 people have contributed so far. Let's get to 100!

GitHub: https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus

3. Feedback, issues, feature requests

Not everyone can code. That's OK, you can still have a massive impact. Let us know if you find a bug, have an idea for a new feature, or have any feedback.

GitHub Issues: https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/issues

Telegram chat: https://t.me/zeusLN

4. Give us a star on GitHub

If you have a Github account consider throwing us a star. It improves our visibility on GitHub and helps attract new coders to the project.

GitHub: https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus

5. Translations

We're trying to make ZEUS accessible to everyone in the world. Join our 100+ translators and help add or review translations. There are a ton of languages we've started on but need to complete.

Transifex translation portal: https://explore.transifex.com/ZeusLN/zeus/

6. Documentation

ZEUS is a powerful but often complex tool - with many ways to use it (we have both a built-in, embedded node + wallet, and also support remote connections). We need a lot more help on our docs to help newcomers get started and get connected to the Lightning Network with ZEUS.

Docs site: https://docs.zeusln.app

Docs GitHub repo: https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus-docs

7. Use the LSP

OLYMPUS by ZEUS is our LSP, and is quickly climbing up the lightning node rankings. You can buy a channel from us in the app using wrapped invoices and just-in-time channels that will onboard you to lightning without the hassle of manually opening up channels. Just pay an invoice generated in ZEUS from any other lightning wallet and you're onboarded in seconds.

The LSP now also works in-app with remote LND nodes, so you can get these just-in-time channels from us if you're using a remote or cloud node.

More LSP services will be launching soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

LSP documentation: https://docs.zeusln.app/lsp/intro

Tor URI: 031b301307574bbe9b9ac7b79cbe1700e31e544513eae0b5d7497483083f99e581@r46dwvxcdri754hf6n3rwexmc53h5x4natg5g6hidnxfzejm5xrqn2id.onion:9735

8. Buy some merch

We have a bunch of different merch options available for purchase with Bitcoin on our store.

We think the designs are pretty good, and they're opsec-friendly too, so you don't have to worry too much about those $15 wrench attacks.

ZEUS store: https://store.zeusln.com/

9. Donate some sats / become and community sponsor

Those who donate over 100k sats get featured on our About page on our website and in our app. You can also donate anonymously. No amount is too small. Proceeds go towards development and bounties to help make the ZEUS app even better.

ZEUS donation portal: https://zeusln.com/sponsor

ZEUS About page: https://zeusln.com/about

10. Spread the word, use Bitcoin, and build the circular economy

Lastly, and most importantly, be sure you continue use Bitcoin and help onboard other people to the network. Let your friends know not only about ZEUS, but also about Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and the importance of running your own node and of holding your own keys.

We're going to win with strength in numbers. Orange pilling can be exhausting - both to the shillers and newcomers - so instead of just jumping into what's so great about Bitcoin, take the time within your community to shake hands with local merchants and the people you buy your food from and actually listen to the problems they have and try to empathize with them. Then you'll surely be able to identify at least one way Bitcoin can help them in our current environment that's rife with inflation, surveillance, censorship, and financial predation.

This not only helps ZEUS but also helps fortify the Bitcoin community.

Thanks for reading. We appreciate every bit of support, no matter how you decide to provide it.

Cheers.

Prophetic


Not long ago it was the Tornado Cash case but that was on Ethereum and largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners. Then it was the Bitcoin Fog case but that was custodial and again largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners.

To some, the trajectory has been clear for several years. Often times those warning of real and present dangers are met with skepticism and dismissed as FUDsters.

Yesterday it was Samourai Wallet, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with the ability to coordinate CoinJoins. If you brushed off Tornado Cash & Bitcoin Fog, don't make the same mistake this time.

The language used by the FBI is so broad and generalized in their PSA and their recent actions have been so over-reaching that it should now be crystal clear to any Bitcoiner that any Bitcoin wallet project not implementing KYC measures runs the risk of having the developers arrested for operating an unlicensed Money Services Business. Node projects and miners are not far behind.

The entire pretext to this narrative is false because Bitcoin is software, software is code, code is speech, and freedom of speech is a God-given right. Ask yourself, where do you draw the line? What rights are you willing to defend? And if push came to shove, how far are you willing to go to defend those rights?

"Give me liberty or give me death" are not hollow words because a life without liberty is not a life worth living. Many have already made the ultimate sacrifices and many more will follow in their foot steps. Every dialogue consists of a call and a response and right now the FBI is having a one-sided conversation. Make a stand and respond loudly and clearly that the erosion ends now.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

Sparrow Wallet v1.8.6: Wallet Search Improvements, Mix from Postmix & More

Sparrow is a free and open source desktop Bitcoin wallet focused on security and privacy. v1.8.6 comes with wallet search improvements, all open wallets summary, option to mix from the Postmix account, support for importing a Samourai backup file, and more.

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/sparrow-wallet-v1-8-6/


Some time after I built my first seedsigner, I was in such awe and wanted to support the project. I donated a coldcard+ worth of sats to the fund at the bottom of the last bear in hopes that at least a couple more seedsigners would find their way into the hands of new plebs. I built another and gave it to a coworker. Small gestures, but these are things I actually care about 🧡

Wouldn't $10k/1M sat utxo in hyperinflation world be "roughly" (within an order of magnitude) equivalent to today's  $700/1M sat utxo in purchasing power?

Why is the conviction of Roman Sterlingov for “Bitcoin Mixing” corrupt?

a. The ONLY evidence is Chainalysis software that’s proprietary with an unknown mechanism.  This ends “burden of proof”

b. Chainalysis sells services to the US government.  And to make the conflict of interest even worse, there’s a rotating door of employment with the government, with employees going back and forth.

c. The original prosecutor on Roman’s case literally joined Chainalysis mid-trial.

d. The only supposed Chainalysis evidence is from 2011.  This is past the statue of limitations. And mixing was considered legal in 2011.

e. The government gets to keep his Kraken funds that they had access to, because he didn’t hide legal funds.

f. There is no basis for someone from Sweden to be arrested in California but tried in DC, on the opposite side of the country.  They purposefully picked the corrupt Washington DC district where they could get a conviction.

g. Zero evidence was found on his personal devices or internet traffic.  And the FBI directly monitored him for 5 years. That's why they let it go so long [2011], to try to find real evidence.

I urge you for your own future freedoms to spread these words

A decade ago I was in my car at a stoplight, and there was a bunch of seagulls eating a discarded bag of fast food in the intersection.

When the light turned green, the car in front of me went slowly to give the seagulls a chance to fly away, but they didn't. Instead, the car's tire just slowly ran over a whole pile of seagulls, who just kept going after the fast food as they were run over. I just watched horrified as this played out.

Every once in a while, I just wonder why the seagulls never got out of the way despite how slow the threat was.

Anyway, looking at the bond market reminded me of this again today.

(BURGER + ODELL > Marty)


2.5 years ago I orange-pilled a journalist during a train journey into London. During that conversation, I showed him Lightning and sent him some sats.

Last night, he randomly turned up to a Bitcoin meet-up I was attending, and told the story of how he had used the sats I sent him to support the Canadian Truckers. That was when he realised the power of Bitcoin.

NGL, it felt good!

Keep pushing, fam - there's more of us out there waiting to be brought aboard.

🧡 this! Sending sats to the protesters was the first time I "felt" the power of FUCK YOU money, and it was glorious


A ton of good info here. I've only heard about CTV argued about by folks way above my technical understanding (for what seems like a really long time now) but haven't seen so neat and logically put together. Will study further & ask questions, seems worthy of a full length article imo

I am thrilled to share my new essay

"Stranded: How Bitcoin is Saving Wasted Energy and Expanding Financial Freedom in Africa"

I was profoundly moved by what I saw on a recent trip to Kenya and Malawi.

If this essay can show you even 1% of what inspired me, that's a win… here’s an overview:

We begin in Bondo, a small town in Malawi, a country where only 11% of the population has access to electricity.

The nation suffers 6-8 hours of blackouts a day, but the power in Bondo is consistent because of Bitcoin mining.

The town got its first electricity in 2016, and now is expanding its grid, thanks to Bitcoin, which is buying 100% of the electricity that the micro-hydro stations cannot sell, and giving precious capital to the power company so it can expand operations.

At night, demand dwindles, and in remote places like Bondo, there’s no one else to buy the consistent hydro power.

Enter Bitcoin, powered by internet services like Starlink. A datacenter from Gridless now saves the wasted energy and is powering the community forward.

The big realization: virtually all power generation, especially in rural places, wastes energy.

Bitcoin fixes this.

We are told Bitcoin is a waste of energy but the truth is the opposite.

NOT Bitcoin mining is a waste of energy.

And the kicker: Bitcoin miners create heat.

This heat will be used for productive uses.

General heating in cold climates, and in a place like Bondo? Drying tea, fruit, or cocoa.

Profit from mining won’t just be profit - cost, it will be (profit + profit from externality) - cost.

For context: Malawi is a country that just suffered an IMF-led 44% currency devaluation.

Already one of the poorest nations in the world, where most people save in cash, now citizens can only afford 56% of what they could a few months ago. Per the IMF, more devaluation is on the way.

The kwacha is a disastrous wage technology. Once again, enter Bitcoin, a vastly superior savings mechanism.

The first Bitcoin meetup is happening in the Malawi’s capital this month. We are very early with adoption in this region—2020 in El Salvador terms—but this adoption will turn from a trickle into a torrent.

Up north in Kenya, Gridless has geothermal mines, too. I visited one.

It’s a remarkable site: a humming hut on the site of a lake with a Starlink on top, eating all of the electricity that a water pump does not use: perfectly solarpunk.

Kenya is the world’s largest exporter of cut flowers. There are tons of sites like this, generating power for irrigation, all over the country. All of them waste energy.

Geothermal is beautifully consistent, but the demand is not. Bitcoin fixes this.

Gridless operations like these are generally profitable within the first two years. Now there's biomass, where the company has just launched data centers at sugar and sisal processing factories which before couldn't find buyers for excess electricity.

But now Bitcoin is buying.

This sounds great so far…

But for the hundreds of millions of Africans who don’t have internet access, how are they supposed to benefit?

Enter KG, whose company Machankura provides Bitcoin access to people with no internet.

This is done through USSD — a SMS-type protocol.

The user texts a number, then gets a decision tree, and can send, receive, barter, and purchase a variety of things, all without data.

This is a custodial service for now — but KG and team have plan to make SIM cards signing devices and even Lightning touch points so that people can self-custody and be their own bank without the internet.

A true civilizational leap forward.

Critical: there are 700 million women in Africa, but very very few use Bitcoin.

Marcel Lorraine aims to change that.

A Kenyan entrepreneur who has fearlessly helping schools in Kibera, two years ago she launched Bitcoin Dada, a program to educate women and girls about Bitcoin.

Marcel runs classes every week, with several cohorts per year.

The task is huge but she insists on pushing forward.

She argues Bitcoin can give macro freedom for communities and countries, yes, but also micro freedom at home for women who traditionally take a back seat in finance.

Finally: independence from dependence is a key concept

Femi Longe, director of BTrust Builders, is trying to make that happen.

He’s running a program to train African developers and help them contribute to Bitcoin, to take careers in the industry or become contributors to core.

As Jack Dorsey says, if Bitcoin is going to be used around the world, it has to be made around the world.

Femi refuses to accept a future like today, where cars are made in the West and bought by Africans.

The Bitcoin infrastructure needs to be made in Africa.

The way these pieces could fit together is astonishing.

Unlike in the West, where adoption might mean centralized pools and ETFs, in Africa adoption will mean off-grid mining and potentially millions of self-custodying users, powered by SIM cards.

Africans need Bitcoin, yes.

But Bitcoin needs Africa.

That was blazing clear from my visit last month.

At the end of the day, who is going to help bring electricity and high-quality currency — the building blocks of progress — to hundreds of millions of Africans?

Bill Gates? The UN? The World Bank?

No, they won’t.

But Bitcoin might.

I couldn't think of a better day than today to launch nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582

Today is the 15th anniversary of the day Satoshi Nakamoto unleashed #Bitcoin on the world. The genesis block was mined, and the rest is immutable history.

Since that day, the network has grown dramatically. Now, millions of people all over Earth use Bitcoin. And while it's great to hear about other countries like El Salvador embracing Bitcoin, I can't help but wish my own country was embracing Bitcoin too.

I live in America. I use Bitcoin in America. I want more Americans to use Bitcoin.

nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582 represents a rare opportunity to capture the attention of America and refocus it on the benefits of Bitcoin.

Never before have Americans been so open to change, especially when it comes to their inflationary money.

Let's seize this opportunity and show Americans that Bitcoin is better money! Together, we can make a nationwide impact and dramatically change the landscape in America for the better.

Each and every one of us can make a huge impact. It's easy to get involved. And it's exhilarating to help broadcast the signal.

Appreciate each and every nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg monthly subscriber ❤

Not only for being an early user and dealing with the bugs but for signaling support without getting much in return yet. Hoping to ship a lot more premium only features next year once we get the foundation solid.

Being a consumer myself of this FOSS wallet, it's hard to separate what should be paid or not, especially when plenty of bugs still exist. Once we ship some more fedimint integrations to ease the pain of jumping straight into mobile self custody lightning, we can really start to focus on the actual UX.

Beyond the wallet, I'm even more excited to experiment with tangential apps or services using our same tech. I truly believe we have something special with how we are building Mutiny, there's so much more to it than being a wallet.

Also really appreciate our early supporters and angels. We've got more than enough for another year+ of development, so next year is gonna be killer.

Not always sure where we will end up, but having the opportunity to explore our crazy ideas for a few years is a huge blessing that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I ONCE WAS A SHEEP, NOW A RIDE OR DIE FREAK


A call to crypto flippers

Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.

You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.

I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.

But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.

I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.

So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.

We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.

Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.

Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.

So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!


Where can a humble pleb read up on it? Also aside, are there any plans to publish a DIY WFB-LARP kit or educational materials? Would love to learn/play it sometime.

Hello Nostr! Cream City is finally here 🤙

Had prior software version running perfectly for months without issue. Updated w/ latest version to resolve but was nice to see this error and imagine the dollar had completely collapsed.....someday we will win 😉

LFG! I appreciate and respect your work and notes, glad this alternative outlet exists without censorship


Great job, Keith- you are a legend. I need to come down to ChiBitdevs sometime, MKE feels lost


remaining sats on WoS are my rug gift to them. Don't use anymore but was an important beginner tool to gain exposure/learning/test experience


So close to realization of great call by nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx....Can't wait to hear Marcus eat his words 😆

Just got my First Edition, ready to dive in. Would love to hear a CD92 v2 with Lionel!


generating hundreds of small utxo's to the same address while burning most of it on fees- the opposite of utxo management?! I know I'm like 11 months late in asking as Honeybadger DGAF about ordinals,  but to sustain this long now I'm getting mempool curious wtf is this?

Nice, now alternate view on 5 minute refresh cycles! Loving my orangeclock... the wife was gone for a week, came back and said, "why is your clock going down?"  🤣  I told her it's trending to zero forever


Double or nothing, lol "you're not gonna win shit!" Best call of 2023👊

15 years ago today the world first found out about Bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/391411e40d2f01527654b12b8d285c30b8d9a8d14ddd46c53d73bf8f1190c926.jpg


GREAT MORNING, SNOWING & 15YRS!

Good morning mempools


bitcoin is incredibly scarce...

#satsqueeze


Some have done our project a disservice by giving the impression that it is "too technical" for the average bitcoiner (Peter McCormack), but it really is this easy.

nostr:note17uu40dm5dqsna04xvulwjgan0mrejhqn297yj455r6utjsaz87jq5w0ugy


we should stay humble and stack sats


the payment is a distraction - verifying the identity of all users the goal

nostr fixes this 🫡

Fuckin' A, man


Very nice


Great advice, words to live by


I've purchased 5 copies, gave away to co-workers & friends. Plan to continue buying and dropping into free little libraries as I'm able to. Thank you for your efforts in this great work, it was most certainly "worth it" to your many appreciative fans


And the rest of the day to you, good sir


GM. Hear ya- keep sending that great hometown signal with global distribution


I want my sats back 😔


Good morning Matt 🤙


Illegal tender


Excited to try mutiny gifts


Ben -Roth IRA is the only reason


GM, thank you Odell & Rod et. al. for sharing the Bitcoin Park audio content as available- tough for me to travel with family situation, almost feels like I'm there with y'all great ppl when tuning in for these great conversations 👊


Good morning, thanks for the reminders to consolidate- got some Sunday night utxo's cleaned up on the cheap. Mempools will never clear

Yo nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy,

I think our huge nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl v0.7.0 release fell through the RHR software update cracks (was released just as everyone was descending on nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha for Grassroots and the HRF event).

Six months of work. Record number of contributors. REPRODUCIBLE BUILDS!!! Incredible quality-of-life usability improvements.

So proud of this release! 🎉🔥🔥

Shout out to nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl! Shout out to nostr:npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt! Shout out to myself 🤣!! And especially to our growing list of awesome FOSS contributors!

ps - we wrote the "Highlights" part of the release notes specifically for RHR!

Congratulations! please keep making THE BEST educational content.


Godfrey Bloom has been railing against central banking and the degradation of civil liberties for decades. He joins the show to explain why people need to break out of the "Right v. Left" frame and begin making moves to opt out of the uniparty system.

SeedSigner Independent Custody Guide

"I am assembling this guide as a living document to (hopefully) help people get to that self-custody finish line, using the custody framework that has evolved over time to make the most sense to me."

The ongoing narrative of Bitcoin remains an unfolding tale. As this groundbreaking economic innovation continues to mature, its precise trajectory remains an enigma, shaped by a multitude of unpredictable and diverse influences. While Bitcoin's decentralized structure precludes any single entity from wielding absolute control, the individuals operating nodes wield significant sway over its course. Their values, philosophies, and visions for Bitcoin's future will inevitably leave their mark on the protocols and systems they choose to embrace. What lies ahead for Bitcoin is a narrative yet to be written, and only time will reveal the direction it ultimately takes.

Sorry, not-sorry for poking the bear on this


I trust you like you're my younger, smarter, better looking brother- even though you tell me not to. Words can't fully express my gratitude, much love & respect for everything you've done for the public's benefit🧡


Seedsigner


RHR dunk on seedsigner was bullshit, I'll ignore it. Of course statelessness is not for routine spends. Freedom Tech for the win


I had to resist the urge to make my setup too difficult so my family can access my stack in the event of an early departure


sad to see the relative lack of engagement on this note. Respect you guys and your fallen peers, thanks for your service to others.


My most prized hat, too. Always a normie conversation starter

in some disbelief my favorite morning ritual is no more, but I guess this is the catalyst I needed to use nostr for the first time in 5 months. After verifying your canary was still posted, figured you'd be here:) Good afternoon, stay humble and stack sats
