Here is the recording of my keynote from Bitcoin Amsterdam earlier this month -- it covers a good amount of my back story & the "why" that underlies our project. A big thank you to @mcshane & Bitcoin Magazine for the opportunity.

@Djuri really has done some *great* work with this.

Need to thank the Noderunners for their hospitality -- a few of the members were particularly helpful as I was planning my trip to Amsterdam.

Bee-yoo-tee-ful day in Zaandam.

Love these observations voiced by one of our most prolific contributors: Original post:

[feature] USB Smartcard reader support · Issue #231 · SeedSigner/seedsigner

There are only so many Specter Shileds around, but storing secrets on smartcards has become my favourite method. Consider the convenience of the ch...

Really happy to report that it looks like we're going to be able to make these new precision-milled aluminum enclosures more widely available. It will take several weeks to get things in place, but it is being actively worked on. 🧡 Another big thank you to @MoneroTime (Twitter) for his work on these.

Multiple people have privately reached out about the latest RHR -- just so it's out there publicly, I don't agree that SEs are always additive, and I think there is a lot more nuance to this subject than most people appreciate. Someone in our community designed this sticker and it generally sums up my feelings. Given different life experiences, people are going to have different opinions, and that's OK. 🙂

We have a new release out! There's soooo much to cover with this release. Going to try to point out as many of the big details as I can while keeping this post brief-ish. First thing: Please show our contributors some love AND demonstrate the power of Nostr and zap the crap out of this post. All zaps are forwarded to our development fund that goes to reward our contributors. General note: Our release cadence tends to be less frequent than other tools -- this is a natural facet of our work as a volunteer project, and that we have a more technically conservative posture given the importance of what we're helping bitcoiners safeguard. Headline feature: reproducible builds. Anyone in the world should be able to reproduce and validate that the software we're releasing is in line with what is in our relevant code repositories. Big quality of life improvements: . Power-to-Splash: ~12 seconds . Vastly improved live camera preview . Noticeably more responsive controls . Brightness adjustment reminder . MicroSD removal reminder Something big for the Uncle Jim SeedSigner maxis out there: Formalized support for SettingsQR! Transform SeedSigner from a featureful, more technical device into a dead-simple signer for grandma, and then back again with a couple of non-private QR codes. For devs and everyone else who is on-mission to preach and teach the SeedSigner gospel: Screenshot generator! Create pixel-perfect renderings of most UI screens for explainers, tutorials and even development use cases. All of these updates have come from more contributors than we've had involved in any previous release. If you are receiving value directly from SeedSigner; or if you simply understand the importance of a discreet, DIY, non-corporate, FOSS, cold storage signing tool for the global bitcoin ecosystem -- please make a donation to our development fund. I will be digging into the above features and updates in the coming weeks to provide more detail on their value, but for now grab your signer and give 0.7.0 a try! 1 SeedSigner = ♾ Cosigners Thank you everyone!

SeedSigner: Air-gapped DIY Bitcoin Signing Device

Donate - SeedSigner: Air-gapped DIY Bitcoin Signing Device

It is jointly managed by 5 key stakeholders in the SeedSigner project and earmarked to support the work of our developers!

As more HWWs / signers adopt workflows and features similar to ours (airgapped QR exchange, SeedQR, statelessness / "ephemerality") our focus for differentiation will continue to be privacy, supply chain risk mitigation & overall trust minimization.

Tomorrow at TABconf we will be showing off our forthcoming, massive v0.7.0 release! * Live walkthrough of our new reproducible build process! * Demo of the headline features and improvements. * Q&A w/the @Keith Mukai, @Nick Klockenga & @SeedSigner . 1:15pm, BitDevs village.
