SOC2 feels like a Trojan Horse.

After a considerable upgrade in security, the WesternBTC mint is back up and in action.
@JeffG hmm


Bitchat is great. I think the next step is a transfer protocol for apps over BlueTooth.

Anyone willing to open a channel to me? I would appreciate it greatly. I'm starting from scratch after everything.

Just pay people you know will do a better job than you.
In my mind, when I see a YouTube video that's 10 years old, I think "Wow this must have been when YouTube was still new". Nope. That was 2016.

"Just wait until..."
My wife and I have been hearing this negative sentiment towards the future ever since we started dating.
"Just wait until you're married 5 years", "Just wait until you have kids", "Just wait until they're toddlers", "Oh you're doing RV life? Just wait until you're boxed in together 24/7"
Guess what? My wife and I have not only survived all of these phases of life, but thrived. Our marriage has gotten happier with more trust established. Maybe it's not the phase of life that contributes to success or failure, but the people involved? 🤯
Rant over.
@0xchat is there a way to enable notifications on my phone when I receive a NIP-17 message? That would be incredibly helpful for npubs that alert me to certain services I have.
This will be significant. Make centralized sources obsolete. If you know the signing key of the developer, you can audit apps transferred to you via bluetooth. If you don't have the developer keys, you should be able to trust the person you're side loading the app from.

UPDATE:
Regarding my loss of ~0.2 bitcoin, I believe I found the attack vector used by the perpetrator.
In March of 2025, a K8 vulnerability was disclosed: IngressNightmare (CVE-2025-1974). This allows an attacker to gain full RCE of a pod, and therefor, gain access and control of the internal network. A CVSS 9.8 vulnerability.
I feel slight relief knowing that this is *likely* how the attacker gained access to my internal network.
There were many mistakes on my part, and those will be what I focus on significantly improving.
What do you use for your personal laptop and personal phone? I'm contemplating switching.
