When i found out i had been walking for years in the wrong direction i immediately changed course. It was the only sensible thing to do given the overwhelming evidence. A bruised ego can be mended. Thank you #Bitcoin [774.170]

i noticed a simple GET request to a nostr.json file shows a list of all verified nostr keys mapped to that DNS name. This behaviour is by design according to NIP-05. I am not sure i am happy with this, but do not have a good solution. https://{example.com}/.well-known/nostr.json example: https://nostrplebs.com/.well-known/nostr.json [772.777]

There is probably a parallel universe where the gift of #Bitcoin has not yet been invented. Don't waste your privilege. [772.681]

At some point in the past, most schools were homeschools. At some point in the future, most Bitcoin will be custodial Bitcoin. [772.030]

One could say there is no #BTC, there are only 2.1 quadrillion (2.1E+15) units of "Satoshis". And one would be both wrong and right at the same time. [771.886]

To the SINGLE people over 21 years old, are you looking for a normie that you feel will eventually convert, or is being a bitcoiner top of your list and contributing towards you still being SINGLE? To those already hooked up, are mixed relationships sustainable? [771.548]

What is a good length random character passphrase to add to a 12/24 word seed to secure against a potential future where a popular hardware wallet does a recall?

You will never need a watch-only Bitcoin wallet on your phone that directs to your offline signing device holding your entire stack of sats. While it could be convenient to create addresses on the go, mobile watch-only wallets introduce real world privacy risks. Don’t do it.

With SSH keys, if someone gains access to your computer/server, the attacker can gain access to every system that uses that key. To add an extra layer of security, you would add a passphrase to your SSH key. The same is true for your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase. This is a list of words which store all the information needed to recover Bitcoin funds on-chain. Protect your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase with a passphrase. 12/24 words + passphrase = 🔑🧡 However, forgetting this passphrase will result in the bitcoin wallet and any contained UTXO being lost. It is therefore important that you document your passphrase and store seperate to your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase.

Today is a good day to re-read the #Bitcoin whitepaper 🧡 $ bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 0 00000000000000ecbbff6bafb7efa2f7df05b227d5c73dca8f2635af32a2e949  | sed 's/0100000000000000/\n/g' | tail -n +2 | cut -c7-136,139-268,271-400 | tr -d '\n' | cut -c17-368600 | xxd -p -r > bitcoin.pdf

If you are a prominent figure, even an OG, and you have a physical server at a hosting facility it is probably best you enable Full Disk Encryption and lock BIOS access, even while having your server in a locked cage at the facility. Problem with this setup is that you would need to drive to the hosting facility to put in your password each time the server reboots. One option to counter this is to host your server at home, as the OpenBSD folks do. Another option would be to go the secure public Cloud route using AWS, GCP or Azure. There are ways to design, build and operate workloads in the public cloud using well-architedted frameworks. [OpenBSD rack](https://www.openbsd.org/images/rack2009.jpg)
