When polls on nostr? Bet there’s more engagement here than on dead x

What is the long term outlook? Will more or less than 1% of the global population hold their own keys? And more or less than 0.1% run their own node?

Bitcoin transactions being published on a the network through a third party are a risk. Bitcoin keys in someone else’s hands are a major risk. The perception of holding bitcoin through a third party that is using leverage to increase a (fictive?) bitcoin position where there are major risks is? A| Great, it brings in more liquidity via stock gambling accounts, investors in traditional markets that are not allowed or understand how to hold bitcoin B| Creates paper bitcoin and will control price C| Promises that will end up in tears for the masses D| A diversion from bitcoin being used as freedom money

Every day we sell nodes, signing devices, backup solutions, books, mining devices. Support for everything bitcoin. Over the years it’s strange to see how best selling articles shift. When you click through our webshop you can see what has been sold most recently. As the shop automatically puts best sellers on top per category. This basically pushes best selling articles to be sold even better. Until they are sold out of course 😂 we only list what we have in stock. And our stock is yuge. https://bitcoinbrabant.com/winkel/

No shitcoins, just Noderunners. Only a few tickets left. This will be the first Noderunners conference. If you run a node and hate shitcoins, this is a conference for you. HTTPS://NODERUNNERS.NETWORK

It’s been a long time since we sold a Tinyseed, but finally after many months, today was the day. The interesting thing about the Tinyseed is, we used to sell quite some multisig packs. Since they got individually listed we almost don’t sell them anymore. Should we list the multisig option (which is 3 individual Tinyseeds with different color wraps) separately? https://bitcoinbrabant.com/product/tinyseed/

On X we reached 5678, are we too late? We don’t follow anyone there anymore, just to make sure nobody knows who we adore. When dropping followers your timeline is ruined, it’s just engagement of which you can’t be bothered. It’s unfortunately too early to leave for nostr alone, almost zero engagement as posts feel long gone. What should we do to increase vibrance over here?

“(and "proper" wide-scale bitcoin adoption, for that matter)” this is something that we see. The amount of people that were on not your keys not your coins is, believe it or not, going down as a percentage of the total. The other issue is, that “taking self custody” through a surveillance ledger shitcoin shilling device for example might also not help. So what is “proper” adoption? It’s a definition for everyone to have a totally different meaning. For us, being around proper bitcoiners and supplying what they need is all that matters. In the end it’s about the proof of work and the friends we make along the way. nostr:note1e2tw4ymxrx9g8e4vxev9ymvqh6a2u9qqasy8h6u8qxqzjqrl8yaqxlfrzl

Which signing devices in its standard workflow connect to the manufacturer’s remote server? Out of our open source/source verifiable, bitcoin only choices on our website: nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j Passport core checks the authenticity of the device through their envoy app. When using envoy it connects to the foundation node as a standard. nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt connects to the bitbox node when using the bitbox software. nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Jade uses the blind oracle pin server. ….. nostr:npub19canpmsgykwumm43uxmp0l5sernavvnrf87mau9a6xnjfx6ajjhsh9qj29 has no “in house” companion app you use, the verification of authenticity is a number shown at startup of the device to check with a number on the sealed bag. You’re basically forced to make choices about your privacy.

There is no optimal choice. It’s all trade offs. That’s why we offer them all.

This concept is seriously interesting. A bet on hitting the block reward. If this scales sufficiently it could be multiple blocks in a six hour time frame, mined by “for rent” miners. Guaranteed income for miners, you either hit more or less than what you “gambled”. nostr:note1ey8rd0luysn099la0y27krcafmj2psqp3u52427957w94vq464gqpwl3dh

Together with nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 we recently installed a hydro addition to our bitcoin tulip project. Currently over 30 million tulip bulbs are being dried partially with bitcoin mining heat. This reduces the use of natural gas for drying. https://youtu.be/bf3ckRb5Gqw

After doing the book distribution for the Netherlands and Belgium for a couple years we recently said goodbye to it. The book distribution is now happening through the largest distributor of the country giving every bookshop and online bookshop direct access to great books like this. We decided to reduce our stock levels in Dutch books significantly because the majority of orders are actually broad EU. Our direct booksales were always originals in English. You can still order the Dutch books with bitcoin at consensus with a discount code “BitcoinBrabant”. Also the ebook. nostr:note1fagl63qh7464fpmedldu54ty0cj65yw2vwa07ajnmyzg7d75n0es6r6m32

Vandaag is het exact 1.3/4 jaar geleden dat Paul en Marina starten met hun nostr:npub1agyf7kae8nkxqrd7rvvxt6nh9vwpcqzen2mc9dl3u38a04awpjcq09n23f podcast. Eerlijke bitcoin educatie in het Nederlands, zonder shitcoin afleiding was haast niet vindbaar. De bitcoin community was sceptisch: “na een jaar gaan ze shitcoins shillen” “ze stoppen binnenkort wel, want bitcoin only is trekken aan een dood paard” en nog vele andere negatieve demotiverende passages. Nadat ze een jaar iedere week steevast een kwalitatief hoogwaardige bitcoinles hadden opgenomen troffen we elkaar tijden nostr:npub1uv2tr83c5y7k82af6zdzlqs8m0klcmndd8u5vmlg2eyrskld6uzsv4rmr8. Vanaf dat moment starte onze samenwerking. We hebben in de afgelopen 3/4 jaar honderden mensen mogen helpen op hun bitcoin reis. Doordat wij beginners doorverwijzen naar bitcoinschool en zij een kortingscode shillen, blijven mensen gegarandeerd bitcoin only. Voor degene die tot hier heeft gelezen en die 1 3/4 raar vindt. Het is 21 maanden. Paul en Marina gefeliciteerd, we zijn enorm trots op jullie proof of work. En dank voor alles!

It’s all so tiresome. Customs opens sealed signing device packages. People return steel plates without wanting to give a reason, no way we know how to improve to not have such a return in the future. Shipper loses a package. Customs refuses to let Bitaxes through. Shipper sends us major bill, while we have customs permits. We reject the bill and get confirmation that there is a problem in the customs IT system. Now we receive a bill from a bailiff because shipper pushed out old statements to a bailiff that were already closed. Shipper responds that it’s blocked again but bailiff removes shipper from all correspondence and pushes with even more draconian measures and cost. Another great day costing us >€1k… sigh There just might be a point that helping out people to get further into bitcoin just becomes too costly. With our high stock levels and direct shipment, we have lost many bitcoin on the way. But we are happy to supply thousands and thousands of plebs throughout Europe with freedom. So for now we persist. All this bullshit keeps us in the outer libertarian corner. Most of these problems are here because of bureaucracy.

We developed nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl packaging where we have lasered our logo nostr:npub1qvwdl9rp7a5ghrxv57wnml5ehg2whjh708vys6kaxpkgu0z3aclsuy2h4p and the seedsigner logo in the foam. Our aluminum, ₿B DIY kit & ₿B assembled fit exactly into this package. We are extremely excited to be delivering so many products across Europe every day. The pace of expansion of sovereign individuals is increasing. The video shows our family remote support with our optimised packaging for the first time 4 alu seedsigners for one client. All our packaging has been created modular so we can ship all counts optimally. In safety for the materials as weight and shipping size wise.

Great explanation of bitcoin “mining”. We were asked many times to explain, the issue in general is that there’s not sufficient time for the media to show a proper explanation. This video is great to refer to as an explainer. Also happy to see our proof of work is represented in it.
