Well, free Americans, how does it feel to live in the land of the free?

GrapheneOS duress PIN could land a man in prison

A US man is being prosecuted after allegedly using a GrapheneOS duress PIN to wipe his Pixel during a border search.

I stopped using Spark in favor of a non-custodial LN (with an LSP) + a Cashu/ecash wallet. Yeah, it's a workaround, but it works.

Who did this?

I have a few friends who urged me to support Codeberg financially. But I had "that" feeling that my values probably didn't align with Codeberg's. And I'm glad I was right again.

I've been a GrapheneOS user ever since the Pixel 6. And I'm surprised by people who are outraged that Volkswagen has blocked its app from running on GrapheneOS. Why don't people “vote” with their actions? For example, maybe you shouldn't buy modern crap - mistakenly called a car - that requires a proprietary app to track you?

The best Monero hardware wallet.

There are some things that no amount of marketing can overcome. The wallet has a good goal - to be UX/UI-friendly. But a goal alone isn't enough. #CakeWallet Thread: https://xcancel.com/originalexbrou/status/2078562078780997903

For advanced Monero users only. Fast AF. Cool UX/UI. Fast AF. This wallet is simply fantastic.

Android Monero wallet

I'm uninstalling Cake Wallet. I'm tired of all the bugs in the wallet. And that was just the last straw - I couldn't send any XMR. I restarted the app and cleared the cache (which usually helps), but this time even that didn't work. I've been switching between different Monero nodes. Didn't work. I’ll be restoring access to my funds through the Monero Feather Wallet. And that’s not what I planned to be doing this morning.

I'm just curious - when you buy Bitcoin and/or Monero for the long term, do you write down the purchase price somewhere, or do you just buy them without paying attention to the price?

The FOSS community is very fragile. First and foremost, this is because many FOSS developers have a mental block about making money from their projects. Another group of FOSS developers either fears cryptocurrencies or despises them for religious/political reasons. As a result, we have great FOSS that survives on a bowl of rice (without butter - that's for the bourgeoisie) and a slice of 3 days old bread. In my lifetime, I've paid more for FOSS than some people have paid for proprietary apps. I'm not complaining. I'm proud of it. But, it's not always easy… I have to go to GitHub, open an issue, and directly ask them to add a Monero and/or Bitcoin wallet - and offer to make the first donation myself… And how pleased I was (and at the same time surprised) to see that some of the FOSS developers whose work I use were happy to receive a ~200 USD donation via XMR! So, if you're a FOSS developer for Linux/Android, please don't make me waste my time asking you to accept a donation from me! First things first, publish your FOSS on @Zapstore and be sure to add your Monero wallet address to the README - trust me, people will donate to you! A colorful meme that sums up most of the FOSS community (unfortunately). p.s. Thanks @Max for shilling to me ZapStore. I'll keep shilling it to others.

I shill Nostr to everyone I can. But people still tell me that "there are few eyes there." The people don't understand that quality > quantity.

Kids, don't do drugs, so you don't end up adding Monero addresses to the sanctions list. https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/isis-designation-crypto-addresses-july-2026/

Banks keep watch on how you pay interest on the money they lent you after printing it out of thin air.

I'm reposting this for the sake of a bright future for Bitcoin maxis. [https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/2071035898611867805]

It was very funny to see a few people standing and talking about Monero, then Saifedean Ammous joined the group, and as soon as he heard them talking about XMR, he got scared and walked away.
