 I will never stop saying this. ALL elections are rigged as far as I’m concerned because of this... 
 Even if the machines were open source, free from bugs, and we all voted for one candidate, they still might not get the electoral college votes. 
 What's your most carried multitool?

And what do you hate about it? 
 Leatherman. It's a bit heavy, but I don't edc it. 
 I voted for the first time in my life. This one's for Ross Ulbricht. 
 Also Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. 
 At least he has an end date. In USA, and I assume many other countries, you are held indefinitely until you give up the pass. 
 BITCOIN - OPEN PROTOCOL FOR MONEY

LIGHTNING - OPEN PROTOCOL FOR BATCHED BITCOIN PAYMENTS

ECASH ... 
 JOINMARKET - OPEN PROTOCOL FOR COINJOIN 
 So much air time. 
 TIME IS OUR MOST SCARCE ASSET BUT WE CONSTANTLY WASTE IT. 
 Some will say waste, others will say use. Often it's a matter of perspective.

 Congrats! Next leap is to Qubes. 
 That's what I thought when I first moved to Linux too. 
 How about disposable email address?

 How do you delete an email address? 
 Plug the numbers you expect they could afford into dcabtc.com and show them. That helped me convince some fam.

 They don't call it Uptober for nothing.

 I would say Qubes is a better OS than TAILS for compartmentalization and isolation. Disposable VMs can accomplish the amnesiac part of TAILS  
 If Elon cared about users he would have a .onion address. 
 What kind of moron would invite nostr:nprofile1qqs9038vj9tev9vvhc9hwclkm586mjchf9dglkxm35nlqy3pzegyyvspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7hm7c5e to speak in the first place?

Obvious loser. 
 #asknostr I read somewhere that relays leak or have access to your IP address when using #nostr ... 
 Anything you access on the internet has your IP, unless you do something to actively hide it. 
 Run nodes.

Run relays.

Run mints.

Run meetups.

Run something.

Just don’t sit still. 
 Mid take. 
 TRAVEL DAY.

AMA. 
 How many coinjoins have you done this month? 
 "I've been a part of 100 coinjoin this month." 
C'mon, that's just retarded.

 GM. If you're looking for a good pocket knife, Benchmade is amazing. 
 I have the Griptilian too. 👊 
 TIL the woman who created my OS coined the term "evil maid attack."

 Secure elements and hardware wallets

Why are secure elements used in Hardware Wallets?

Plain an... 
 What do you suggest for someone who doesn't know anything about security to do long term cold storage? 
 Your takes are always so retarded. 
 Am I too old school to add my credit card to my password manager? 

Are there valid risks to this? 
 Your password manager should be able to hold any secret, or you should put none in there. If you cannot store any secret in your password manager then you are doing it wrong. 
 It’s past time to buy a chest freezer for the basement. Recommendations welcome. #asknostr 
 Get a manual defrost, frost free will give you freezer burn. I've been using a Frigidaire 14 cu ft for just under 2 years with no complaints. 
 Anyone who uses "is a convicted felon" as an argument for not liking or discrediting someone is a loser. Always has been.

 Update your software and chill. 
 Are those pirate boots? 
 Can I use UDP over Tor? #asknostr #tor 
 You don't know how to use search engines? The last link I gave you was the first result from searching "tor udp". I'm not going to spoon feed you. 
 Ok, so I have always been on the side of #Apple when it comes to policies that most people hate. ... 
 Have you decided if you are self entitled or ignorant because of your age? 
 Hello Nostr!

 Satoshi? How do you know your distance from the web? 
 Why does my bio say that I recommend highlighter, and how do I remove that? #asknostr 
 Yes, on Amethyst. 
 It definitely showed up right after I used highlighter for the first time, but I can't find anything in their settings to remove it. 
 Well now I'm afraid if I login to listr I might start recommending them too. 
 If you would have to send me an encrypted email and you had no other way of communicating with me... 
 Is that rhetorical? You've made this hard for people. It's your fault.  If you at least signed commits one could encrypt to you using that key. https://github.com/callebtc.gpg

The truth is I wouldn't email you. I would move on with my life after not finding a pgp key for you easily. 
 Any guides on opening channels with lnd using #joinmarket utxos?

#asknostr 
 When I ran a lnd node I would just coinjoin to lnds wallet and then open channels. 
 Don’t rugg your ancestors - have kids.

 The best decision of my life was having a kid. Wish I had a bunch more and started earlier.  
 If Russell Brand is speaking about freedom of speech at the Bitcoin Conference, why isn't he on N... 
 Nostr isn't the only place with freedim of speach. You can host anything you want on a .onion. 
 It's just like his npub, you have to ask him or trust someone else. 
 The premise of the question is wrong (which is what I was pointing out), why would I answer it? 
 Bruce Fenton is a shitcoiner larping as a bitcoiner. Why does anyone care about his opinion? 
 It's relying on trust in Primal that they do what they say. Better to not trust and hide your own IP. 
 Pretty sure you muzzled your friend during mag load, and grip strength will help you with recoil control. 
 Anyone got a review of a Starbook? #asknostr
