coyote (/kaɪ(j)oʊt(i)/, KY-(y)oh-t(ee)) (Canis latrans) is a species of canine also known as the American jackal, prairie wolf, and brush wolf. But I think they are adorable dogs 🐶 #Genetic studies show that most North American #wolves contain some level of #coyote #DNA 🧫🧬 The coyote is a prominent character in Native American #folklore mainly in #Aridoamerica , usually depicted as a #trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions. The animal was especially respected in #Mesoamerican #cosmology as a symbol of military might. After the European colonization of the Americas, it was seen in Anglo-American culture as a cowardly and untrustworthy animal. Unlike wolves, which have seen their public image improve, attitudes towards the coyote remain largely negative. image

#LOVE 💜 & am missing #3Chi #Tangerine #Dream. Used to mix it in Moscow Mules but haven’t drank any alcohol since 32 April 2026 Typo intended 🧐🤓 Below 👇 that is a beautiful notepad holder … sadly I can’t find maker name anywhere 🔮 @Purple Painter Yo, do you have a corn crib? They are common where I grew up. ⬆️ image

My review of #bitcoin #history of hardware wallets 📝 not including #NVK #ColdCard #BTC #Veterans please check & update me where applicable please 📘 AFTER ACTION REVIEW #AAR #Bitcoin #Self-Custody (2009–Present) Mission Enable ordinary people to securely own and control digital money without relying on a trusted third party. ⸻ 1. What was the mission? Give individuals direct ownership of money while maintaining: * Security * Privacy * Recovery * Usability * Long-term resilience ⸻ 2. What actually happened? Bitcoin succeeded. Self-custody proved possible. Hardware wallets dramatically reduced malware theft. But new threats emerged: * Human error * Phishing * Lost backups * Privacy breaches * Complex recovery * Poor user understanding The battlefield changed. ⸻ 3. What went well? ✅ Private keys became dramatically harder to steal remotely. ✅ Hardware wallets became inexpensive. ✅ Open-source security improved. ✅ QR and air-gapped signing reduced attack surfaces. ✅ Multisignature matured. ✅ Recovery options expanded. ✅ Bitcoin-only devices reduced unnecessary complexity. ✅ Documentation and education improved. ⸻ 4. What went wrong? ❌ Users still approved malicious transactions. ❌ Recovery phrases were lost. ❌ Customer databases leaked. ❌ Supply-chain attacks occurred. ❌ Firmware transparency was misunderstood. ❌ Marketing often exceeded reality. ❌ Too many products assumed expert users. ❌ Families remained unprepared for inheritance. ⸻ 5. Why? Technology evolved faster than human understanding. The industry optimized for cryptography. The public needed education. Security is only as strong as the person using it. ⸻ 6. Sustains Continue doing: 🟢 Hardware signing 🟢 Open standards 🟢 Human-readable verification 🟢 Bitcoin-only firmware 🟢 Independent audits 🟢 Air-gapped options 🟢 Privacy-first purchasing 🟢 Clear documentation ⸻ 7. Improves Focus future effort on: 🔵 Better recovery 🔵 Simpler interfaces 🔵 Family inheritance 🔵 Scam resistance 🔵 Clearer transaction signing 🔵 Less jargon 🔵 Beginner-first design 🔵 Interoperability ⸻ 8. Enemy Tactics Observed 🎣 Phishing 🧠 Social engineering 📦 Fake devices 💻 Malware 📱 Malicious apps 📧 Fake firmware 👀 User confusion 🪤 Blind signing ⸻ 9. Friendly Strengths 🛡️ Strong cryptography 🔐 Hardware isolation 👥 Open-source communities 📚 Documentation 🔎 Independent researchers 🌎 Global developer ecosystem ⸻ 10. Battlefield Changed 2009 Protect the key. ↓ 2013 Protect the computer. ↓ 2016 Protect the device. ↓ 2020 Protect the recovery. ↓ 2025 Protect the human. ⸻ Commander’s Assessment The mission has not changed. The environment has. The greatest remaining vulnerability is no longer cryptographic. It is human comprehension. Future success depends less on stronger encryption and more on making secure ownership understandable, recoverable, and practical for ordinary people. ⸻ Lessons Learned 1. Trust mathematics. Verify people. 2. Recovery is part of security. 3. The private key is only one link in the chain. 4. Privacy begins before purchase. 5. Every solution introduces new trade-offs. 6. The simplest secure system people will actually use beats the perfect system they abandon. 7. Education is security. 8. No device can compensate for poor decisions. ⸻ End State The objective is not to build the world’s most secure hardware wallet. The objective is to enable ordinary people to securely own their money with confidence, dignity, and resilience. image

I’m literally listening to the forest birds tweeting and I had this moment of clarity and then I was like wait I’m just really high right now
