Listen

I had never even heard of this one. Their mailing list got pwned too. If you are tempted to buy this crap maybe you should just custody with @Strike instead. At least you can sue an exchange if it goes under; if you lose in self-custody… you just lose.

I heard Blockstream just released a … checks notes … tarot card ritual for creating entropy. This is the most foolish thing I could think of a company doing. You should want the favor of God, not His wrath.

Reminder that Bitkey is no longer available to buy with cash in a brick and mortar store, to the best of my knowledge. Needs your real address or a pickup point (which requires your real name and photo ID).

In theory with the Pixel 11 1TB you could run Bitcoin Core full node and have a mobile phone wallet. Maybe run a little server interface localhost to make it a little more friendly.

mqtt is fun. So lightweight. Much message. Wow.

People are not good. Accepting this truth with 1) open your eyes and 2) given you peace

I almost got caught in this dragnet. True story.

Heyyyyy

BIP110 reminds me of when people try to force change in a church without building consensus and instead resorting to manipulation. It just divides.

Security is pretty neat; I run security for a place in a bad area of town. First, I acknowledge that God is the one who keeps us safe, not my skill or strength. What Ive found is that if you make an area uncomfortable to trespassers, the area becomes 10x safer. Sirens, trespass orders, escorting them off the premises etc. But if you let just one hang out because they “arent bothering anyone” it’s like a secret signal gets sent out to all the tweaking addicts and prostitutes to come running down to your place. It is really something to see. The broken window theory is 100% true.

Remind me never to piss @Laser off
