Catching up on finalizing and listing some of my design/product ideas -- this one has been in the queue for some time. A static setup like this can make capturing QR frames with your laptop a breeze. 🧡

If you accept sponsorship money from HWW companies that act aggressively towards open source projects... AND aren’t sharing your podcast or conference platform with those building DIY/FOSS cold storage tools... There's a question you should maybe be asking yourself.

I have to give Odell props for this — today I learned that he still lists SeedSigner as a recommended cold storage option on his personal odell.xyz website.

Several people have reached out about this. There are apparently at least 10 URLs that were purchased on 5 separate days over a period of 3.5 years, all appear to have the same owner. Some of them seem intended to interfere with our ability to fundraise or accept donations? I honestly could see this sort of thing as a one-off or as a mean joke if you're having a bad day, but the pattern here comes across as something different. Given how many podcasts and conferences his sponsorships touch it feels like behaving this way towards a FOSS project should be a bigger deal? If Nostr is indeed legit with regard to wanting open source to flourish, it seems like this would be of interest here especially.

This is a big part of why I don’t engage much on Nostr, and some of the “cult leaders” are my most prominent personal critics, so it just doesn’t make sense to be around. View quoted note →

Seedsigner - Nintendo case? \ stacker news

Yoooo, has anyone on here made a SeedSigner and, in particular, gotten their hands on this retro Nintendo case? I've been snooping around to find t...

Wonder if we could get @BlackCoffee to do another limited production run…

Just FYI, these are the details for anyone who is curious. Hoping they’ll be available in a couple of months.

No… it’s blocking FOSS grants for a project that you see as competing with your for-profit products that might be considered “evil”. Someone who profits primarily from non-FOSS products should not have a say in how millions of dollars of FOSS funding is awarded.

This is exactly why I've been less interested in using Nostr -- the influencer cults are everywhere and the OpenSats/Ten31/Primal cabal does all they can to channel as many new users into the cult, resulting in this kind of cringe stuff. 🤮 View quoted note →
