So many stores and restaurants say they can't hire enough help, and at the same time I've never seen this many homeless people panhandling at highway exits and intersections where I live. Some important aspects of our culture are fundamentally broken.

It's super challenging to acquire conventional HWWs in places like Russia, China & parts of the Middle East. But what DO bitcoiners in these places have access to? Raspberry Pi Zero and the other basic components you need to build a SeedSigner. Our project is grossly under-funded when it comes to grants. We immensely appreciate all of the everyday bitcoiners who have told others about SeedSigner, pitched in to contribute their time & talent, or donated some sats to our development fund. 🙏

Holy heck -- lots of updates and improvements coming in our next release, and this is just one PR...

Our Telegram community touched 1,800 members today... 🤯 It's a great place to learn more about SeedSigner, ask questions about a build, and interact with our project's contributors.

One of the coolest things we can do as bitcoiners is supporting the things other bitcoiners are building and creating. Really enjoying the artwork in this piece from @Change this if you want and @eomirx. 🔥

Bitcoiners generally build & use a SeedSigner for the same reasons they build & use a full node -- greater privacy, less trust, higher security.

Not a great idea at all for private keys, but still fun. 🙂 View quoted note →

High signal take, geo-distributed multisig is mucho resistant to theft & tyrannical overreach. View quoted note →

Is there an end-to-end solution to sell digital products on Nostr as of yet? #asknostr

Anytime, anywhere.

Nostr confession: Having witnessed the rise and fall of dogecoin & platforms like ChangeTip, I am skeptical about the sustainability and usefulness of social micro-tipping. I'd love to be proven wrong over time; but if the value being given is real, the cognitive load for continually, arbitrarily & voluntarily giving away many, many tiny chunks of money is just too high to sustain after the novelty wears off. Less-frequent, higher value tips offered for exceptional circumstances or content may be more sustainable, but penny-shaving "like" equivalents don't make sense to me.

I was contacted by an individual asking about a Chinese-language version of SeedSigner. The individual also shared some insights about the current legal status of bitcoin in China:

SeedSigner is all about getting people to that cold storage finish line; I *love* seeing messages like this. (As always, shared with permission.)
