hyperbitcoinization > paperbitcoinization someone pls make a catchy meme out of this

Most blocks on Ocean already use already a template managed by the miner and not the pool (using Datum). Bullish.

GitHub is giving free test build runs for open source project, they must spend a lot for all those servers running them. It's free and unmetered and conveniently integrated into the GitHub workflow. Now nice of them, isn't it? Is it though? Never underestimate the risk of GitHub (Microsoft) using its massive leverage against some open source projects. nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uqzp5zweue6xqa9npf0md5pak95zgsph2za35sentk88jmzdqwk925stvkf52

Confession: I mixed up Cove wallet and Cake wallet... COVE is relatively new, modern, simple mobile wallet (for now for ios but android is coming). Simple UX, but good HW wallet support. At BtcPrague, at the cake wallet stand I mistakenly thought that it's the same project. I was impressed that such a new project has a nice stand, I even accepted a free tshirt. I've realized later that they are unrelated, the latter is multi-coin wallet. So COVE is the one I'm excited about, not the other `C??e` :) #CoveWallet https://github.com/bitcoinppl/cove

Ocean's DATUM is a quick'n'dirty hack to a real problem; it's a hack but it works, and one can relatively easily mine his own template in a pool with it. The Datum Gateway is written in old school C, and it's an unusal feeling that you can clone the repo, configure and build all in less then 30 seconds! Overall I consider it a positive development, however, in the long run I would put my bet on Stratum v2.

It was a letdown to find that https://bitcointreasuries.net doesn't show you the full list unless you log on with email. What a shitcoin! Furtunately a 10-minute temp email does the job. Plus, individual entity pages are show without login, if you have the link.

My Cashu.me PWA app keeps disappearing from time-to-time. I suspect it's due to some automatic update of the web browser component (vanadium, graphene). Is this common? Opening it in the browser shows my sats fortunately (all 800 of them), and I can put it back again to the home screen.

Aging and death is nature is not an imperfection. It's a crucial component of evolution. Without it, we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't even be single-cell protozoans.

The LONGEVITY freaks are some extraordinary bright people -- putting their energy and talent to the WRONG problem

When Hyperbitcoinization will be complete, governments will no longer have any money printer.

Things I type A LOT these days: and sometimes I mix them oc

Bitkey is nice, but keep in mind: Seedless == Privacyless

|| Announcement: New Cashu wallet project || As a learning exercise, I've put together a Cashu wallet. It is build on CDK, written in Rust, and uses the Iced UI library. The basic use cases work -- Receive/Send x Lightning/Ecash -- but it's prototype stage. Find it here: https://github.com/optout21/parakesh

/// Announcement! ||| Announcement! ||| New Side-Project Announcement \\\ SeedStore: store bitcoin-related secret in an encrypted file. While tinkering with various bitcoin-related projects, I often had the need to store some secret config for my program. Eventually I put together a small library just for that: storing a small secret in a password-protected, encrypted config file. Not the seedphrase for your valuable bitcoin wallet, but maybe a private key for a test wallet, or a Cashu wallet, or similar. Not a replacement for secure hardware devices, but better than using plain files. Feature overview: - Store a BIP39 entropy (or other similar secret) in a password-protected encrypted config file - Treat the secret sensitively, e.g. store it scrambled in the process memory - Perform basic operations like child key and address derivation, and signing, so that there is no need to propagate the secret at all to other components for basic use cases (it's possible though).

CASHU Mint on MUTINYNET: https://cashu.mutinynet.com It works! Took me one minute to find it, and two minutes to try it.

Rust is a modern programming language. Which also means it uses a lot of memory (and disk). Which occasionally makes my laptop stuck with OOM for a while. And then I have some time to check Nostr 😂 #RustLang

Satoshi chose DOUBLE Sha256 hash, as it offers some extra security over simple Sha256. In my simple, XOR-based encryption project I chose DOUBLE XOR-ing for extra security :D
