BIP85 is making me reconsider how my setup is working. I think it is bringing a lot of opportunities to improve security.

A new version of @Bisq is available for Bisq1 and Bisq2. Who needs a CEX? Bitcoin is p2p.

Dojobay began as an idea that emerged when some individuals seized @SamouraiWallet's dojo. Many people may not know that during that time, a lot of individuals were assisting others to access their funds. That week was chaotic. I witnessed people getting scammed and losing their funds, and I spent late nights trying to help others regain access to their money. As a standard user of Samourai, it’s easy to think that resolving issues is simple and everything will turn out fine. However, many were panicking, and I realized countless individuals were relying on the Samourai Wallet Dojo. Dojobay is designed for those who do not have their own node, but it is essential for everyone using Bitcoin to set one up. This is a concept we continuously emphasize, but it's not the reality for most users. Dojobay is not a permanent solution; it is merely a temporary support system for beginners. The fact that dojos are located in different areas ensures that one will always be available if something happens to another. Dojobay does not operate any nodes; it simply serves as a directory where individuals offer their own nodes. #FreeSamourai

Whirlpool took a big hit, but there are still other privacy tools out there. Whenever you do a P2P transaction, you've got the chance to make those @chainalysis reports pretty much useless. Use the tools.

Nodes are now up and running on the mainnet and testnet4. A big concern is about the xpub, so I really recommend that everyone runs their own node. Don't trust!!! #FreeSamourai

Bring back the guillotines. #FreeSamourai I knew this would happen at one stage.

I spent most of the weekend with multisig. However, I still don’t see a use case for individuals; it seems too cumbersome. For companies, however, the benefits are obvious. For the record, @SamouraiWallet is the best wallet so far.

ATH? I don't mind; I'm more worried about what is happening at DOJ. Who cares about the price (price ≠ value) if our rights are taken away? #FreeSamourai Btw: Bitcoin isn’t smooth jazz; it's punk rock. Deal with it!!

Unpopular opinion: Avoid exchanges; eventually, any sats you have there will be inaccessible. Paper bitcoins are part of a game I’m not participating in.

Chain analysis isn't a science and often lacks accuracy. It's based on heuristics, making it prone to incorrect assumptions, even in simple cases, so there may be tricks involved in the transaction we're examining. Learn and use the tools. #FreeSamourai

I remember having a conversation with

X (formerly Twitter)

Gabriel Kurman (@GabrielKurman) on X

Co-author of Bitcoin Circular Economies book / Co-founder of Rootstock - IFEB - B4Humanity - LaBitcoineta - Koibanx

at @Watch out, Bitcoin! that opened my eyes. "The best thing that happened to Bitcoin during the blocksize war was the creation of BCash. There’s no need to bring up that topic anymore. If you want larger blocks, just move to BCash"

A coinjoin is not a mixer. #FreeSamourai

Two of my nodes are down, so I've decided to set up a new one next to me. However, Tanto by @RoninDojoNode is miles away and working flawlessly. It's frustrating that I can't reset the nodes, as I'm unable to SSH into them remotely (which was my choice).

I've read Ulrich Bindseil’s paper, and it’s not just about whether I agree or disagree; it’s one of the worst papers in content that I’ve read. A paper from an intern or something from ChatGPT would be better. PDF: https://tinyurl.com/2hwz9dz4 @ecb : bitcoin will make you obsolete, deal with it!! #FreeSamourai

The consensus is what makes Bitcoin resilient. Run a node to ensure adherence to consensus rules. #FreeSamourai

Bitcoin is for anyone, but NOT for everyone. Bitcoin is designed to render the current fiat system obsolete. It is p2p, eliminating the need for on/off ramps. @bisq_network @hodlhodl @RoboSats @lnp2pBot @peachbitcoin .... Don't forget #FreeSamourai
