Monthly #bitcoin meet up next week! We'll be in Fayetteville at Fossil Cove Brewing. Wicked Wood Fired Pizza is there and we have a lot to talk about. Come on out and bring your spouse, kids and friends along! #Fayetteville #Arkansas #meetup #community
A special thanks to @Blockstream and their Blockstream Local initiative for sponsoring our meetup this past weekend! They provided hardware, LBTC practice and a slide outline. The workshop covered all things Jade and self-custody best practices. We're excited to share more free educational material with our attendees in the future! In addition, we're now official Jade resellers, so if you're in the Fayetteville area and interested in purchasing a hardware wallet with sats or cash, shoot us a DM! All the profits will go towards improving the NWA Bitcoin meetup and hosting other cool events!
We are hosting Hardware 101 feat. Blockstream Jade this Saturday, October 5, at 11:00 am at the Fayetteville Public Library! We'll improve our stack security, build our community and have a good time doing it. Additional details can be found in the usual places; NOSTR feed, Meet Up page, Telegram chat and X. See y'all there! -Northwest Arkansas Bitcoin View quoted note →
"A hardware wallet is a special type of bitcoin wallet which stores the user's private keys in a secure hardware device. They have major advantages over standard software wallets: A. Private keys are often stored in a protected area of a microcontroller, and cannot be transferred out of the device in plaintext B. Immune to computer viruses that steal from software wallets can be used securely and interactively, private keys never need to touch potentially-vulnerable software C. Much of the time, the software is open source, allowing a user to validate the entire operation of the device."
"I don't believe we shall ever have good money again before we take it out of the hands of government. We can't take it violently. All we can do is by some sly, roundabout way introduce something they can't stop" - Friedrich Hayek, 05-01-1984
