Just a little PSA. #Aqua Wallet is fully functional again, including fully backed peg outs. If you have some L-BTC in limbo, you can just ship it to aqua wallet and peg it out for BTC.

Updated VPS (thanks PHP and #4). Lets see if the blossom server works.

That looney private key being used by the Indian CA that was essentially the number 4? The First Segwit address associated with that private key once held a bit of BTC. ;) Certainly nothing...

#Coinkite is allowing users to build and self-sign "unofficial" firmware. This is fantastic for people who like to live on the edge a little. :) I wonder if there are any 3rd party firmware repos yet? I will search.

@🤘🏻eve based on what I've seen you post, I thought you might appreciate this particular tune.

Is it just me or is Claude actually just a big floating butthole? View quoted note →

Man, I am definitely under the weather, achy, just feel ill, but I shouldn't complain because there's a good chance it's a "massage hangover". I got a massage and evidently must have been storing up some pretty poisonous stuff in some of my muscles.

It used to be the powerful could steer the American masses with a single narrative. Cronkite told all of us who to worry about, what to celebrate and what mattered. *But people noticed it didn't make sense and alternate viewpoints emerged.* Then the powerful realized they could corral the many into mostly two groups. Fox News emerged and was a rally point for the "other half" of the nation. *But people noticed though it was a different flavor the nutrition label and ingredients list read the same.* So then, over time, the powerful splintered the masses into dozens of polarized groups to fight each other. The women against the men. The black's against the whites. The rich against the poor. The millennials, the immigrants, the believers, the northerners, the educated, the patriots, the gays... Maybe next, people will be waking up and joining the remnant of the few who have known all along that we really share more than we are different. Including a common enemy.

I am no longer waiting for God to restore my sight. Instead, I have learned to thank Him for making me blind. In my weakness He has given me strength.
