G’Z UP - Denzel Curry, 2 Chainz & Mike Dimes


God rest his soul. My deepest condolences to you and your family.


no, i mean the legal entity.

thanks though


has anyone who can see this note ever set up a family investment office?

looking to learn more about the process & would appreciate any advice, recommendations, resources, etc.

thanks in advance,
dern-cat 😽


some good suggestions from a bottom up perspective. though, i am skeptical that regular people will take the time to learn about stablecoins and understand the attack vectors.

seems to me like lobbying might be more effective. make the case that SCs are a distraction and accumulating bitty is the real task. something along those lines.


any ideas as to how the momentum can be stopped or diverted?

mainstream media outlets running propaganda pieces about viruses in Africa, "what to do if you get covid in 2024", and assorted orange man BAD drivel

NOTHING about FEMA's blocking of aid, NOTHING about NC/TN, NOTHING about real issues that Americans care about

the propaganda isn't even creative anymore, it's blatant AND it's poorly written, too.

fuck this shit man i am so mad. God bless America, God bless Americans--no disrespect to those in other countries but for fucks sake we need to take care of our own right now.


TIME IS OUR MOST SCARCE ASSET BUT WE CONSTANTLY WASTE IT.


such is the nature of man's duality, my friend


such poor form, kinda unreal. israel is where they are weakest with their base--not that their base cares about America or rural NC/TN--but man... you would have thought they'd be a little sneakier about it right?

FEMA $$$ --> STRAIGHT TO MIDDLE EAST


fack me man.


i really think the dems might lose because of the hurricane fiasco (sending all that $$$ to israel and "ukraine")

and by lose, i mean, lose past the "margin of error" (mail ins and illegal vote scamming)

but wat do me know, am just a CAT 🤷♂


lmfao plus unrealized cap gains bc of currency devaluation or some shit


I’ve been blown away by the firsthand accounts of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and surrounding areas. There is so much footage from users on TikTok, so I started downloading clips as I came across them and put them into a single video since MSM was so slow to begin covering the disaster. It turned out to be 3.5 hours long, and this merely scratches the surface of what people are posting.

As a side note, I tried to find a way to put this on Nostr directly but even after compressing the video it was like 7.5GB (3.5 hrs of video). Satellite.earth payment system is broken and it would have cost like $40 worth of sats for a 10GB nostr.build, with just this one video using most of that. Flare limits to 2GB files. So I settled on Rumble.

hell yeah!


was thinking something similar when i first saw the story. we could be wrong, but it will be interesting to see how much leverage they have!


I have the feeling this video will be taken down swiftly for mentioning the d-word (💀) so I’m putting it here for posterity and so that folks know what’s actually happening in East TN / West NC… https://video.nostr.build/57f5ab21ab06ced44df47126e9991bef4196e22c15c7cb2cd73c99e6f4f457fe.mp4

the biggest benefit of distance running for me is the self-confidence you gain from pushing your perceived limits

the mind gives up LONG before the body does; you don't need to be extremely athletic to run a half-marathon without much training.

you just need to believe that you can do it and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

straight up, if you can run 3 miles at a decent pace, you could run a half-marathon right now. try it!


In the room where it happens.

i think fiat is a component, but disagree with "short term profit chasing"

those who benefit from the subsidies have benefitted for a LONG time.


i agree with the sentiment. but practically speaking, its a political problem of incentives and inadequate knowledge about the problem by the layperson.

if more people knew how good we COULD have it in this country, they might start to question why the fuck they drive by so many corn/soy/rapeseed plots.


respect for putting this out there, brother. sometimes its healthy to take a step away from our passions (even bitty) and take stock of what we have, and where we want to go.

much love to you, your wife, and children. you have so much my friend! all the best!


it has rubbed me the wrong way for years how poor america's food supply is (ON AVERAGE) compared to, say, europe.

i was recently in italy and was fucking blown away by the quality--even the cheap street food is decent and doesn't nuke your guts.

america has so much potential: we have so much available space to raise high-quality crops, ruminants, hogs, chickens, literally anything we want.

our limiting factors are: corn/soy subsidies which over time have drastically depleted our top soil quantity and quality.

(not going to get into corporate interests here, but IMO those are aligned with/lobby for the shitty subsidies)

BUT there is hope. there are regen ag operations responsibly running ruminants and completely revitalizing formerly bastardized crop fields.

it is possible to restore our glory and live up to the land's potential--we simlpy need to harness and activate the collective will to do so.

ok, so it seems like his parents & the school are positioning him as the victim even after he has credibly threatened severe violence to your son?

if that is indeed the case, I would escalate to LE. if nothing else, it creates a legal paper trail, and puts liability on his parents.

i really hope things turn around and/or this kid is dealt with appropriately.


(i would be just as livid, i think) and I might try getting in touch with the kid's parents. if the parents are unreceptive, then I would get in touch with LE

would be hard for me to contain my anger though, honestly.

For Bitcoin to succeed, it doesn't need everyone to turn into a cypherpunk, run nodes and hold keys

Just the fact that there is the OPTION to self custody forces custodians to be honest or the market will sniff them out and quickly blow them up.

And in fact trying to pretend like there is enough block space for everyone to self custody and have channels is already delusional even if the whole world wanted to do so.

The brutal, but best advice I have to offer builders/engineers/developers In Bitcoin, as with any emerging technology, is this: "Nobody cares." If you operate from this default assumption, you get out of the weeds and learn to focus on what truly matters to your customers and users, and that's getting a job done.

There is at minimum one person who can hurt you in this world, and that’s YOU. Especially when you act like a child.


Sounds like he really hurt you bro, maybe you should tell him how you feel 😉


i mean i understand where you are coming from.


what is on me?


and you know i aint nobody's puppet 😽


you can tell me whatever you want man, i got love for you.

you might not care about NGU/balance sheets, but businesses and states/countries do.

you know deep down that "bitcoiners" are not homogenous; we're not all interested in the same things 🤷♂


nah Yegor is a good dude, we just disagree on this in particular


businesses will put bitcoin on their balance sheets if they are smart, so will states/countries

idk what to tell you big dawg. writing is on the wall


bro


hahahahahahahaha


good points.

speculation here, but i feel like the donor class/Obamas made a deal with Biden (or handlers) to allow him to serve out the term and clean up remaining messes (e.g. pardoning his son)

i think we will know more after the DNC, but still tons of questions

Hey nostr, I have some nodes to sell!

Not only could you get some solid hardware (even nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll started selling some of these), but you also get my time & expertise. We’ll figure out how you need me to spend my time to help you - I am looking to be a resource to plebs trying to navigate migrating away from a rpi, devs looking to cleanup their digital environment, or enterprises looking to scale their solutions.

Laptop & desktop purchasers will be guided on installation, setup, & maintenance of their new physical & virtual servers! Proxmox is FOSS software we will use to allow for the commoditization of all of your machine’s resources, allowing you to get the most out of your purchase. With one physical machine, you'll be able to cram a dozen virtual ones inside while I'll show you how to manage their compute/memory/storage requirements and interactions.

These are used ebay purchases, I'm not trying to profit off the hardware, just stacking sats with my time. Shipping or pickup at #chibitdevs included. Until I offload this hardware and complete the hourlies, I’ll be restricting my assistance to these buyers. But, I'll likely eventually offer support for byo hw/sw.

https://btcpay.dimi.gg is now live, please chat with me before a purchase if you have any questions. Payjoin enabled.


congrats to you both! also, well done on the S-tier username #bin #boiz

i borrowed a ton, and went to a really fun school. i wanted to party and go to big football games at 18yo tbh, never thought of the consequences for borrowing so much

thankfully my dad suggested i shoot for a well-paying job after graduating. i took his advice and worked in trad-fi for years.

not the most fun jobs, but they paid well & i was able to pay off my loans


yeah, definitely not easy to make over 100k unless you are well-connected.

i would imagine that's a similar characteristic in high-earners anywhere in the world


yeah i think that's fair, the folks who i am thinking of are definitively in the laptop class.

agree with you that they seem to be accelerating the obviousness of this situation.


i dont think its as obvious as you think it is. i know tons of normies who are still looking for any reason to vote for mushroom brains

normies who i would consider very intelligent despite that leaning. propaganda is a hell of a drug!


right this is sort of what I had in mind WRT building credit on top of bitcoin; if you don't have the corn, you cant issue the credit.

and to my earlier point: idgaf how its implemented, but the UX has to be stellar. not just for normies, but for ME too. I WANT NICE UX lol

also, lmk if you got that zap. had to send stright to ur lnaddress... mutiny x primal zaps used to work for me, but can't get them to go thru now

have heard about using ecash in for this purpose, but would a merchant have to be willing to accept it?

its gotta be done in such a way that merchants dont need to know/be involved with what's happening on the backend

Great Note on this topic. Calle is being way too sensitive about anyone shitting on his passion project that is going nowhere for obvious reasons.

i've spent the last year or so trying to get my exercise routine in check.

fighter training is a great way to get in shape, and an equally great way to red-line your adrenal and hormonal systems. WAYYYY too much cardio and not enough rest. plus weight cuts... FACKED

been mixing in a ton more weights this year, and its nice. BUT there is absolutely nothing like letting the legs go and ripping a nice and easy run on a summer day.

Unpopular opinion, but here it goes: UX is the most important problem we need to solve for Bitcoin Privacy.

We can hate on KYC exchanges all we want, but they've got UX nailed down. We cannot expect privacy to become the norm when I have to take an hour out of my day to make a P2P trade.

Now that CASPs will start delisting privacy assets like Monero and blocking coinjoined btc with the EU's new AMLR, we're being stripped of using regulated exchanges even semi-privately. This makes P2P exchanges like BISQ Network even more important, but its of no use to regular users when you need an introductory course in computer science before understanding what's going on in the app.

Privacy will only become the norm when we make it usable for everybody. **If you're a UX designer, copywriter, or in any other way have expertise in UX design, please consider contributing BISQ:** https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq

ℹ If you're not a developer, contributing to GitHub projects can be scary. It really doesn't have to be. I can't tell my asshole from a python script either, and if I can do it, you can too.

Here's how to get started:

If you find a UX issue in the BISQ app that could be improved, start by opening an issue in the BISQ github repository. Give it a clear title describing the problem you want to solve.

Add screenshots or videos to your issue showing what the problem is. If you can, add a proposal for a potential solution. Bonus points if you can add wireframes, layouts or clickdummy documentation. For reference, see npub1zqsu3ys4fragn2a5e3lgv69r4rwwhts2fserll402uzr3qeddxfsffcqrs 's work on eNuts: https://github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/issues/341 (I don't know how to tag people here but you get the idea).

In open source projects, questions are your friends. I've spent countless hours asking every dev i know absolutely insufferable questions, and I still dont know how the fuck to get out of VIM. Everybody starts somewhere, and most people are happy to help.

If you already know how to use git or github and can code a little, ask where you could find the corresponding code for your problem in your issue and offer to do a PR. If you can't, ask what assets would be needed to implement your proposal. Remember that people are nice and generally happy about new contributors, even if you're a beginner.

If you have any questions on contributing to open source projects as a non-coder, feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are open (I think).

OH!!! unrelated to last #poast , but i strongly recommend that you DO NOT advise/tell people to "use their common sense"

it comes across patronizing as shit, especially when the person/people you are talking to perceive you to be smarter than they are.

if you think an argument is simple, SERVE it simply.


was gonna #poast this specifically for my fellas, but tbh, its good advice for both sexes-- if you want to attract a partner and don't know where to start, here are three simple tips:

- get in shape (does not mean get fkin JACKED, just in shape)
- breathe through your nose
- be (generally) pleasant to be around

do those three things, and you outcompete ~85% of your mate's other potential choices


What’s something you learned that completely changed how you saw everything?

I’ll start:
When I found out that being healthy and losing weight wasn’t about spending hours exercising & running miles every day, but that 90% of the battle was just about removing horrifically unhealthy (and very normalized) chemical substitute, grain heavy, “fat free”, and sugar packed foods - but was just about getting back to the basics and animal based fats. Everything else is crazy easy after you do that.

Then to add, that your mood, depression, energy levels, are also SO insanely dependent on that same problem.

What was one of yours?


lets fucking go bro


not saying it doesn't happen, i am saying that I don't believe 50+% of woman-targeting-trolls on nostr are other ladies pretending to be dudes.

on this here protocol? hard disagree, aint nowhere near 50.

When I say "Law of the Jungle" I am referring to a strictly hierarchical system where the biggest, strongest, and most violent are the de-facto rulers.

My point is that, while we can agree that modern government officials are corrupt, I do not believe that a return to anarchy would serve the vast majority of people poasting on purple bird protocol.


Anarchy brings us back to the Law of the Jungle. Might sound good compared to what we have now, but reality is that unless you are skilled in violence, you’ll get torn to bits. Even if you are skilled, numbers are not on your side when SHTF

Ok since the coin join implementations are pretty much gone. Here's a privacy technique that could work.

- Get Zeus or Blixt Wallet. Buy inbound via LSP. They open a private Taproot channel.
- Stack sats on lightning.
- When balance is all on your side, close it. It's a Taproot channel so nobody would know it's a channel close.
- move funds to cold storage when fees are low.
- once you think your pubkey has been exposed enough, delete the wallet and start over with a new pubkey.


IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE DIRECTION THINGS ARE HEADING. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I've seen people saying "lol, obviously" in response to the Roger Ver news.

It wasn't obvious to me.

The guy went through the absurdly unpleasant/ expensive process (from what I've heard) of renouncing citizenship 10 years ago, part of his reason was (afaik) to avoid the worldwide taxation imposed on US citizens. IIRC he principally lived in Japan during all those years. And to state the obvious, he was already *very* rich by 2014, even during that bear market.

Given that he went through that exit tax process, how much sense would it have made to forge and defraud in his filings. Maybe it's just me, but I would have bent over backwards to do everything 100% by the book so I could finally put this behind me. Say you lose 20 or 30% at that point ... it's clearly worth it if you're that rich, and you've gone that far down the road.

Maybe he acted stupidly or sneakily, I'm not discounting it, but I would not take the US 3 letter agencies at their word here; just look at the modus operandi of the SEC as an example - "you didn't follow the rules" - "but we hired a lawyer and there were no clearly written rules" - "lol you got it wrong, your pet gerbil is a security" etc.

All you motherfuckers rocking the lil shaggy mullet haircut gotta understand it’s STOLEN VALOR from us Canadians/hockey players

That said, keep rocking it tho, it’s a fucking DANK haircut 😎


Well said my dawg 💯


EL DERN and everyone who belives in the concept of money, by the people and for the people. Stay strong. If we stand together we can't be defeated. In my opinion bitcoin is the last stand for freedom. As some have voiced in this thread, the government is not going to act legaly in this fight but I believe that if we stand together, eventhough we may be miles apart, we can beat them, because they may get to us individually, but they don't have the manpower if we stand together. There are too many of us for them to deal with and their money buys less and less everyday.


In Boston for work today, you already KNOW that mean I’m boutta eat like fifty lobster rolls for dinner BOIIIIII 👀


I agree to the extent that they don’t want a really public (bloody) battle with bitcoiners… for now

We’ll see what the future holds. Best to stay strapped regardless. Good chatting with you brother- all the best to your family & ranch 🫡🤝

Lots of discussion on top zaps and primal. Question and dicussion is good, and the nostr way.

 I’d much rather have nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr  working on perpetuating Btc by way of an awesome nostr app (or more) rather than him doing a traditional SaaS startup, working for a bank, or retiring at the beach or the citadel as a successful entrepreneur, which I am sure he can do.

Miljan is transparent about taking VC, talks about this on pods, at conferences while shilling nostr. An extra 1, 10, or 100 users on Primal are not only Primal users - they are zappers on nostr, they are content creators on nostr, they are merchants on nostr! Let’s appreciate this, as each of these folk can then discover and play with highlighter, with shopstr, with nostrApp 2,100 etc.

Nostr is not for everyone today, and *needs* to find the next niche of users (with a niche use case) who will become early adopters after us.

If there is money to spend on experimentation on discovering and acquiring these future nostriches I welcome this.

Every team, and project will not have the same approach. We need to embrace the chaos, and be receptive to experimentation so we can #grownostr.


Agree

People are thinking about the Samourai situation the wrong way IMO.

They’re worried about hiding (KYC vs non-KYC) like it matters.

"Oh, I see you’ve bought a house, but we have no idea where you got the money for it and can’t trace it back to a sats purchase you made through your bank. We do see you paid taxes on $60K per year and have a $5M house, but we will leave you alone in this citadel since we can’t trace the specific sats to your bank account!”

FFS, if they’re coming after your property, they’re coming after your property. They don’t give a fuck about your rights, and they don’t really care how you got what you have. You think it matters they can’t *prove* you got it through sats appreciation? They can’t prove someone else didn’t lose his keys, either. They don’t care.

The beauty of the technology is they literally cannot seize this one asset unless you volunteer the keys. They can jail you, they can murder you, but they can’t take it from you, and more importantly they can’t do so remotely. They need to expend resources and be on camera, in person. This is a very big handicap and a huge advertisement to others to store their wealth out of their reach.

You have the strongest hand in the history of humanity. Stand up to the bully.


Fuck yeah 🔥


The indictment against the alleged Samourai Wallet (SW) operators was unsealed today. A few friends have been asking for my opinion on it and my channels are blowing up. I used to serve in law enforcement as a detective that specialized in cybercrime and blockchain analysis. The following information may be useful or interesting to some.

Reading through the Department of Justice’s press release and the indictment itself, here are my initial thoughts:

There are plenty of examples of past investigations resulting in arrests/convictions related to the operation of custodial mixing services, with Bitcoin Fog being the one in recent news. With a service taking custody of funds and moving funds between other people/users, they are likely going to be considered a money service business. And if a money service business doesn’t block Americans from using the service, the US Department of Treasury will require the operators of that service to register with them and follow their compliance regulations. Many foreigners have been arrested in foreign jurisdictions in order to be prosecuted in the US with an American judge and jury for allegedly violating federal American laws (read that sentence twice).

With these sorts of cases, you are typically dealing with the idea that a service didn’t register correctly and follow compliance regulations. And then the other idea is that the operator of the service knew and allowed funds to move through it that would be considered “illicit” or “sanctioned.”

Examples of illicit funds may be proceeds from illegal drug sales or funds stolen from someone. The sanction piece can involve entities, such as particular Bitcoin addresses, individuals, companies, or countries, using the service or receiving from the service. The US federal government maintains a sanction list.

The above summary has been an on-going fight on privacy, censorship, and regulatory overreach for a while. It isn’t new (and Roman Sterlingov should be free). SW’s indictment is different from the situation I summarized above though.

SW was a non-custodial service. This means that users controlled (their private keys to) their funds themselves and the service provider (SW) allowed the coordination between users through its infrastructure, such as the app, the server, the continued development, etc. This makes this case much more interesting and more concerning to me.

Regarding the first count against the men: Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering. The SW indictment alleges that SW was a service that provided “large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion.” So we are talking about users using illicit funds with the service and sanctioned entities using or receiving from the service. And we are talking about the SW coordinators “conspiring” with the relevant users to do this.

The indictment is constantly referring to SW as an “application” that is conducting or facilitating the mixing through a “centralized coordinator server.” Who controls the application and server? Allegedly the two men named in the indictment.

When it comes to SW’s Whirlpool service: Through their server, their application is selecting the inputs. Their application is communicating information between all users necessary for the mixing to occur. Their application is using the private keys on behalf of the users. Their application is broadcasting the mixing transactions to the Bitcoin network. The picture the indictment is painting is that the application and server are essentially doing the money laundering, as opposed to the users using the service. Similar verbiage and logic are used to describe SW’s Ricochet service too (adding hops to a send you intend to do).

The above summary is the most shocking piece of the indictment, in my opinion. The implications of this reach beyond Bitcoin-related apps and services. Think of the apps and services, just in general, that a user could use to engage in criminal behavior. Now think of arresting the developers/creators for what the user did.

Regarding the second indictment against the men: Conspiracy to Operate an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business. The indictment says the SW operators were “involved in the transportation and transmission of funds intended to be used to promote and support unlawful activity.” There isn’t any mention or consideration of custody of funds in this. The logic of the indictment: Some users may have used SW’s application and server for “unlawful activity” and therefore, SW was involved in the unlawful activity. Again, this is a scary precedent. Think of the applications and servers out there right now that users may be using for unlawful activity.

There are many mentions apparently from the coordinators themselves that address the knowledge and intent element (important for a criminal trial). The SW operators were obviously passionate about financial privacy and resisting compliance regulations. Their messages (especially with their style of messaging) will be easy to spin/take literally, even if the coordinators were just trying to be edgy with their marketing/brand. The SW coordinators did not help themselves in this regard.

I think the government will focus a lot on the coordinator’s knowledge and intent of the service being used for illegal activity. I believe this is how the government will “limit” the scope of the precedence and how it will try to differentiate the SW service from others.

Regarding the illicit funds/sanctions piece: The blockchain analysis showing funds from Dark Web markets that sell illegal drugs flowing into SW’s Whirlpool will be easy for the prosecution. The same goes with sanctioned entities sending to or receiving from SW’s Whirlpool. It will also be easy to show funds flowing from known hacks, exploits, and/or thefts flowing into SW’s Whirlpool. The government will need to prove the men knew this was happening and that they facilitated it by providing the SW application and server. Their mouths may be their downfall on this one, but I think it is pretty clear that the SW operators’ intent was to provide a neutral financial privacy tool that didn’t control user funds, leaving the responsibility of the use of those funds on the users themselves.

With the logic in this case, I wonder if it will be argued that blockchain analysis companies are also culpable since they surely had their own funds being mixed in SW’s Whirlpool to collect data points. Were their funds facilitating illegal activity? Or were their funds facilitating financial privacy in general? (Maybe facilitating privacy was just the byproduct of having the chance to trace through exclusions.)

Overall, the case leads to some interesting questions.

Is a wallet software and developer a money service business now? How about a full node? These both facilitate the transmission of funds too. The implications of this case are not good for privacy or code. I’m ready to donate to the defense.


Godspeed brother, get home safe 🙏

DAMN I WAS WRONG ABOUT GARCIA HE STRAIGHT UP BULLIED HANEY. LOOKED BIG FOR 143 AND STILL FAST.

PHENOMENAL TROLL JOB, CONGRATS TO HIM & BETTORS 🤝💯


Yes


The fact that some transactions are driven by arbitrary preferences rather than pure economic motives is a sign that there is currently an oversupply of blockspace relative to demand.

Transactions reflecting subjective values don't directly cause higher fees themselves. Higher demand relative to the inelastic supply is what drives fee increases through market pricing.

Those promoting "hyperbitcoinization" where Bitcoin is widely used must understand that successfully increasing demand while supply is constrained will necessarily lead to higher prevailing fees. Advocating for both universal adoption and low fees is inconsistent.

Lower fees require demand to be comfortably below the level of supply. Wanting widespread use of Bitcoin while also demanding low fees defies economic principles of supply and demand. As a scarce resource, blockspace will be priced accordingly by the market. The only way for low fees to persist is if demand cools off.

against Devin Haney? and he sound/look crazy?

idk man. im not a pro boxer, but i know a thing or two about combat sports... you SHOULD NOT get into a ring unless you are confident in your preparation.

just checked the odds, Haney is -900...

imma say Haney win by KO in round 4 🔮


I’ve reached an age where I now understand what, as kids, we think of as just old people disgruntled about modern life. It’s when you’ve lived long enough to have viscerally experienced the slow, unyielding decline of most every aspect of daily life.

The key is not to let it make us bitter; to take heart in knowing that it’s broken money that broke these things. And to know that, with Bitcoin, we can fix it.

Onward.

Exploring #Bitcoin Custody: From exchanges to dedicated hardware devices, learn how to choose the best option based on technical ability, capital investment, and security needs to safeguard your assets.  For more details, check out the article by
nostr:npub1s54cshfy6sgp7gajt97zpgdgxjcpumzwgu3x5zmhqa05krfxqrtsdl74y9 on Yakihonne:
https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qq24qvjzxd997kz2xedy77nev9m9y5fkxfjyzq3qs54cshfy6sgp7gajt97zpgdgxjcpumzwgu3x5zmhqa05krfxqrtsxpqqqp65wqhzzud


Custody is one of the most important aspects of bitcoin, and something that differentiates it from every other asset. By custody, I mean the processes by which we secure bitcoin private keys. You can think of private keys as the mechanism that enables someone to make Bitcoin transactions.

Public-private key pair cryptography is unknown to most, even though it underpins the entire network. That being the case, it is unreasonable to assume that the majority of people—including new participants—will have the desire to learn, practice, and understand how to use bitcoin at a fundamental level.

This article is intended to provide actionable bitcoin custody options in a manner that is accessible for beginners. The list of options is not exhaustive; it represents my opinions on which custody trade-offs make sense given:

1.  A person’s technical abilities.
2. The amount of capital (time & money) they are willing to dedicate to their custody.
3. Which level(s) of financial security and sovereignty they want to attain.

## Using an Exchange for Bitcoin Custody
Leaving your bitcoin on an exchange is not [self-custody](https://blog.kraken.com/crypto-education/self-custody-best-practices), and that is fine. It is a trade-off: you relinquish control of the bitcoin to the exchange, and in return, your bitcoin is custodied by professionals whom you trust.

If you intend to custody your bitcoin with an exchange, consider one that is focused solely on Bitcoin and actively maintains their own custody infrastructure. [CashApp](https://cash.app/), [River](https://river.com/), and [Strike](https://strike.me/) are all great options.

It could be that people don’t trust their technical abilities, they might not have free time to learn about and practice using the tools, or they might be comfortable with third-party custody. Regardless of the reason, it is likely that a large portion of bitcoin holders will not manage their own private keys—and that is fine.

### Benefits of Using an Exchange for Bitcoin Custody

Your funds should have a high security assurance as long as you use an exchange that [invests in its custody solution](https://blog.river.com/how-river-secures-client-funds/).

Exchanges operate in a manner that investors have come to expect: the user is shown an account balance, can buy or sell bitcoin, withdraw and deposit USD at their discretion.

Abstracting away details like UTXO management, and providing users with an easy-to-use backup and recovery methods (e.g. submitting a support ticket, or calling a help desk) leads to a better user-experience for more people—and especially for new users of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin-focused exchanges provide their users with additional features that enhance users’ ability to interact with the network. For example, all three exchanges mentioned offer instantly settling, cheap transactions (via the Lightning Network), are well-connected along that network, and have convenient features like automatically converting some or all of a direct-deposit paycheck into bitcoin.

### Drawbacks of Using an Exchange for Bitcoin Custody

In order to buy, sell, and custody bitcoin on an exchange, users in the United States (and elsewhere) must submit to onerous [KYC/AML](https://bitcoiner.guide/nokyconly/) procedures. This means that your personal information will be associated with your transactions, balances, and network activity.

Further, the internal policies of regulated exchanges are often unclear—withdrawal limits, peculiar transactions failing, long wait times for ACH deposits, how network (mining) fees are calculated—these and other considerations are solely determined by the exchange.

#### Who Are You Trusting?

You are trusting the exchange with your personal information, transaction and balance history, as well as other personally identifying data, such as IP addresses. You are also entrusting your connection to the Bitcoin Network to the exchange.

You cannot truly verify your holdings, nor are you in control of your funds because you do not control the private keys associated with the bitcoin. It is a permissioned Bitcoin experience—you can use the exchanges’ products and services as long as you follow their rules.

## Storing Bitcoin on an Old Device

By old device, I mean an old phone or laptop that still functions but is no longer used daily. You can also use a new device for this setup, but buying a new Bitcoin-specific device would increase the upfront costs.

On desktop, or laptop, I recommend [Sparrow Wallet](https://sparrowwallet.com/).

On mobile, I recommend using an Android device and [Samourai Wallet](https://samouraiwallet.com/).

It is critical to note that the above recommendations are both hot wallets—meaning that the wallets are connected to the internet. Keep this in mind before storing a significant amount of bitcoin on these set ups.

Be sure to take extra precautions if you are going this route:

1. Completely wipe your device; run malware detection software, factory-reset, etc.
2. Only use the device for Bitcoin-related activities.

By segregating your Bitcoin activities to this device, you reduce the risk of hacks and theft through the internet—from browsing the internet, and/or downloading software.

### Why You Should Use Sparrow and Samourai for Bitcoin Storage

These set ups empower users who want more control over their funds versus third-party custody; both wallets are non-custodial, meaning that users manage their own private keys.

If you have an old laptop or Android lying around, you can create a relatively secure bitcoin self-custody system without additional expenditure. Just download a free software application, and you can send and receive transactions without anyone’s permission.

#### Sparrow Wallet

Sparrow provides an elegant user-experience on desktop. The creator and maintainer, Craig Raw, built a wallet that guides users through their bitcoin custody journey step-by-step.

Power-users will enjoy advanced features like coin control, UTXO labeling, and a native Whirlpool client—all in a sleek desktop application. Stellar documentation, intuitive UX, and a helpful user-base makes Sparrow my favorite desktop Bitcoin wallet.

#### Samourai Wallet

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/852b885d24d4101f23b2597c20a1a834b01e6c4e47226a0b77075f4b0d2600d7/files/1706888760485-YAKIHONNES3.png)

The Samourai Wallet team are titans in the wallet space, and their Android-only mobile wallet reflects their years of experience.

Widely regarded as having the most extensive suite of privacy tools, users can leverage an offline mode for mobile cold storage, a CoinJoin service called Whirlpool, and a “stealth mode”, which transforms the wallet app tile into a calculator, VPN, or other dummy app.

In fact, the Samourai team developed the Whirlpool CoinJoin implementation which is leveraged by Sparrow Wallet.

### Drawbacks of Using Sparrow and Samourai for Bitcoin Storage

Both wallets are very capable of serving as your bitcoin storage solution, but there are some things to keep in mind.

With Sparrow, you can choose to connect your the wallet to a public Bitcoin node (e.g. Blockstream’s) or your own Bitcoin node. So, unless you are running and connected to your own node, you are trusting the Sparrow team’s judgment for your choice between public nodes.

Similarly, if you are not running your own Dojo node for your Samourai wallet, you are using the team’s node.

In either case, if you do not run your own node, you must trust the team behind it. Using a third-party node exposes your wallet's addresses, balance, and transaction history.

#### Who Are You Trusting?

You are trusting the Sparrow and/or Samourai teams. In addition, you are placing trust in yourself to:
- Ensure that you have completely wiped your device.
- [Verify the software](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaZ8_V-iveQ) for your chosen wallet before installing to the device.
- Secure your private key backups.

Running your own node minimizes some of the trust-dependencies, but unless you’ve written your own wallet software (which is not advisable for most), you will have to place your trust somewhere.

## Purpose-Built Bitcoin Hardware Devices

By purpose-built hardware device, I am referring to devices that were specifically designed to generate and/or secure bitcoin private keys—there are many such devices.

I recommend:

- [Coldcard](https://coldcard.com/)
- [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/)

These options are useful for securing a significant amount of funds and having a high degree of assurance in the security setup. Ideally, hardware devices use private keys in an air-gapped fashion; meaning, keys are not exposed to the internet. Both recommended devices can be used in this manner.

### Why You Should Use a Coldcard for Bitcoin Storage

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/852b885d24d4101f23b2597c20a1a834b01e6c4e47226a0b77075f4b0d2600d7/files/1706888916380-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

What exactly is a Coldcard? It is a hardware device programmed to generate and/or safeguard securely generated bitcoin private keys. Keys are stored on specialized microchips, and attempts to tamper with the device result in all information on the device being destroyed.

Coldcards offer robust security assurances thanks to their secure elements—microchips embedded in the device that provide dedicated, purpose-built secure storage for your seed words, physically separated from the MCU. The latest version of the Coldcard, the Mk4, has two secure elements, making it even more secure than previous models.

In short: it is the best, ready-made bitcoin hardware device on the market today. Coldcards are loaded with features, and Coinkite—the company that makes the device—have been at it for over a decade. Better still, the user-base of Coldcard is massive; there is no shortage of tutorials, guides, videos, and helpful users to answer any questions you have.

Note that Coldcards need a companion software wallet (such as Sparrow) to be operated properly.

##### Coldcard Additional Resources:

- [Ian Major’s Sparrow + Coldcard Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dNGdkeQ7ew&t=12s)
- [Southern Bitcoiner’s ColdCard Guide Series](https://www.southernbitcoiner.com/coldcard-guides/)

### Trade-Offs of Using a Coldcard for Bitcoin Storage

You are placing your trust in the Coinkite team to:

1. Not ship malicious software updates.
2. Not collude with the secure element manufacturers to steal user private keys.
3. Ensure that sensitive user information—like shipping addresses—is properly secured.
4. Generate a secure seed phrase (unless you already have one)—which encrypts all your funds.

While advanced users can leverage a bunch of features, newer users sometimes find the device intimidating.

Price points on Coinkite’s devices are also higher than some other purpose-built bitcoin devices. But, when considering custody options for a significant amount of wealth, it is prudent not to skim on your security set up.

### Why You Should Use a SeedSigner for Bitcoin Storage

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/852b885d24d4101f23b2597c20a1a834b01e6c4e47226a0b77075f4b0d2600d7/files/1706888937058-YAKIHONNES3.png)

A SeedSigner is a "stateless" device, meaning it does not store your private key or any sensitive wallet information whatsoever. Every time you turn it on, it's blank, as if it had never been used before.

In order to use a SeedSigner, you have to load the private key that you want to work with. So you start by typing in the private key's standard 12- or 24-word mnemonic backup phrase.

Since that is somewhat laborious, you can then use the SeedSigner to guide you through transcribing your private key into a ["SeedQR" QR code](https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/10426338118169-What-is-a-SeedQR-).

Instead of typing in your mnemonic each time, just scan the SeedQR to instantly load that private key back into a SeedSigner.

Note that the SeedQR is your private key, so it should never be transmitted digitally, not even to a printer. The SeedSigner SeedQR transcription user-interface guides you through a fairly easy process to create the SeedQR by hand. You simply dot a paper template with a marker or you can even stamp it into a steel QR plate.

What I love about this device:

1. Because of SeedSigner's stateless design, if an attacker were to be in possession your device but did not have the SeedQR, they would not be able to steal your funds.
2. Users can generate private keys by simply taking random pictures with the built-in camera.

Private keys need a certain amount of randomness to be secure; pixels captured by the camera are more than sufficient for that purpose. The crucial guarantee here is that the exact same pixel-for-pixel image can never be captured twice, no matter how hard you try.

- [SeedSigner Custody Blog](https://seedsigner.com/seedsigner-independent-custody-guide/)
- [SeedSigner’s GitHub repository](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner)

### Trade-Offs of Using a SeedSigner for Bitcoin Storage

SeedSigner’s stateless design places responsibility on the user to ensure that their seed backups are secure—in word or QR format. This entails forethought from users: how and where will you store your seed? Will you make copies of the QR or list of words?

These are similar considerations for backing up any wallet, but keep in mind here that you need to load the seed each time you use the SeedSigner.

Consider, too, how you will source the hardware components and assemble the device. If you intend to construct the device with a minimal information footprint, you might consider purchasing components with cash at local vendors.

You will also need to make sure you know how to correctly assemble the device. For those willing to compromise here, there are vendors who have built up a good reputation who sell fully assembled SeedSigners.

Finally, as with any other software, you need to ensure that the files you download are cryptographically endorsed (signed) by the project’s maintainers prior to installation.

## Conclusion

If you find yourself worried about the route you chose to go down, know that there are many people who are willing to help if asked. Get advice from your local Bitcoin community: attend meetups, workshops, smaller conferences and meet bitcoiners in-person.

Experiment with different approaches—use different devices with a small amount of funds, and see what you find most intuitive. Bitcoin custody is not static, technologies and methodologies evolve, so it is wise to practice different custody setups in order to sharpen your skills.

There is no one-size-fits-all in bitcoin custody; each solution presented in this article makes trade-offs to deliver a certain experience. What is important is that you, the user, understand to the best of your abilities, what trade-offs are being made with your chosen solution and make informed decisions.

Which one of you fuckers isn’t running your own node? 🫵😐

https://btcpay.dimi.gg

If you’re not using your own node, you have no voice in any potential fork drama. No node, no choice.

I’m in the middle of standing up all my infra. It takes months of odd hour chipping away at things, and I’m not even close to where I want to be. Where are you?


circling back on this ---

*regarding bitcoin* the feedback that I hear from most farmers and ranchers is that, regardless if they're ideologically aligned with sound money, they are concerned with how to liquidate to cover operational expenses. plus, they don't really want to go through the trouble of learning bitcoin (for the most part).

The solutions I suggest in these cases are services like Strike, River and CashApp (on/off ramps + lightning). I figure that once they get their feet wet and find they like it, they can move on to non- or lesser- custodial solutions.

I also find that offering to literally hold their hand through whatever they decide is well-received.

*regarding nostr* I am much less familiar with the landscape of marketplace apps & services -- are there a good amount of them with decent user-bases?

I do think it would be powerful if a farmer/rancher could tap into a completely new customer base (nostr users, bitcoiners).

BUT, before proposing something like this to Barn2Door or an individual rancher, it's best to have something to show - a nice looking UI for the marketplace, for example.

Farmers/ranchers listen to my bitcoin elevator pitch, sure, but the real sell is ALWAYS when they have something tactile. Remember when you received your first sats?


nostr:npub1vwu67mezskm3q0yvr357jp3ghrhnlcq5v2pq22q6g4gezl4mrj5qqyljw0 knows about Barn2Door as well
