Share your dog's son! (how tf do dog genes work?! @npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 had 3 black pups, 3 cow-spotted pups, a black & brown, and then this unexpected all-tan cutie) View quoted note →

Cool. Signed a tx the hard way* via the Unchained UI. * download the psbt * in Sparrow: File -> Open Transaction -> File * finalize the tx and do the normal @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl QR-based signing * File -> Save PSBT -> As Base 64 * upload signature to Unchained --- *(note that this approach is kind of dumb; I could have just constructed the entire tx in Sparrow, signed, and broadcast it from there without going through the Unchained UI at all. BUT... in the case where I need them to sign w/their key, I would have to go through their UI so it's good to know the steps!) View quoted note →

I have created my first Unchained vault! Two @SeedSigner keys, plus Unchained's collaborate custody key. First minor hiccup: for some reason they skip the first receive addr so for a moment I thought my parallel wallet in Sparrow was somehow wrong.

Going on 36 hrs with no house internet connection w/at least 12+ hrs more to go. Blerrg. Yet @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl dev is undeterred because: airgapped! Don't need an internet connection! Actually made some really great progress today!

Best option* for running your own bitcoin full node: * Used bare-bones used ThinkPad w/8GB RAM * Replace ssd w/cheap 2TB nvme * Run it as some flavor of linux For $220 you have a solid enough machine WITH a screen, a keyboard, and -- super-important -- a BATTERY (y'all underestimate what a power outage can do to your Raspi). Has enough storage onboard to not have to prune blocks. And enough RAM(?) to run more intense services like a Lightning node. In other words: @npub1pfezegswrn8lpt0aerp2hvyhj4lsuzln9kcccs5p7qch2m2sawxsxcelvf is right! --- *(best guess. I haven't built this combo myself but tempted to)

Keto + intermittent fasting (18/6) update: Since June 2nd: * 154 lbs -> 140.5 lbs * 20% body fat -> 14.5% Amazing. My stack of too-tight-for-comfort t-shirts now fit perfectly! (I gotta get better about not yo-yo-ing throughout the year. If you see me at a conf or meetup looking heavier, you 100% can just say, "bro, get back on keto!")

WHAT IF... you could use your @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl to set up a new Unchained Capital multisig?!! Whelp, this is just an experiment BUT... hell, that was easy!!

Okay, y'all, REALLY proud of this one! Current @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl dev builds are looking great, EXCEPT the frame rate in the live preview got worse in the new custom linux OS. Like "unacceptably bad" worse. I haven't really looked at the live preview code since like July 2021. But I did find some areas to optimize! Squeezing every bit out of it that I could think of yielded enough to make a substantial improvement to usability. Just enough to nudge it over the "okay, it's not terrible" threshold.

Some fun optimizations this morning! Our new custom @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl linux OS boots really fast (~14s) but the actual SeedSigner code was taking too long to get running. AND one of my big PRs added bad delays on some initial screens. Terrible. Here's the fix!

Day 3 of experimenting with 20/4 intermittent fasting with one large main meal at noon and then some cheese and almond snacking around 4pm. OMG I've never been this deep into ketosis! The evening and morning aren't bad, but the stretch to noon gets rougher. Not crazy-hungry, but just feeling drained and irritable (poor @npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 !). Gonna go back to 16/8 w/two meals.

New homeowner achievement! Didn't know it was so easy to replace a torn screen!

It is not possible to clone a Windows C: drive and boot from the clone. Oh, plenty of info will say it's possible, but it's not. It is not possible.

For those of you who have completely dropped twitter, here's what you're missing right now: nothing. Literally nothing.
