I met and had a nice conversation with @jb55, creator of the nostr Damus client for iOS. I don't use #Damus, but I've followed Will's Apple adventures with considerable interest.
Will kindly engaged in a wide-ranging conversation with me, which included a brief excursion into my personal fantasy plans to build a spaceship...
Not 100% fantasy, as you'll discover if you watch the video embedded in my article:

Recent developments in reactionless propulsion have prompted me to design a practical spaceship to build in my driveway.... by creatr
I usually take a billion photos of everything, so i can't believe this is the *only* shot I got at the SeedSigner booth.🤔🧐😮
Maybe it was because I was having such a good time chatting with the man who came up with the SeedSigner architecture?😆 (NOTE: He's right here on nostr). @npub17tyk...3mgl has created a brilliant tool that DOESN'T do a lot of things.
The SeedSigner *doesn't* connect to the internet. It doesn't store your bitcoin private keys. It doesn't cost a fortune, or hide any secrets of how it works. It doesn't take an expert to build it at home from off-the-shelf parts (I've built three so far). And it *doesn't* store your private keys in some device or memory or format that's questionably secure. In fact, it doesn't store your private keys at all! When you disconnect the power, your private keys disappear with the vanishing electricity.
What DOES this amazing device do? I'll let you explore that for yourself at https://SeedSigner.com , but I will say I've been blown away by how easy it is to use and how capably it secures my bitcoin.
I was blessed by my brief visit with @npub17tyk...3mgl . He's still learning and inventing, and is a keen observer of the world of bitcoin. We tried exchanging Cashu tokens, but perhaps our eCash wallets weren't quite in tune?🤔
Prolific SeedSigner dev Keith Mukai was also at the booth, but I missed my chance to chat with him... Shoutout to @npub1tv8g...7wn2, and thanks for all you're doing.🙏🏻
I've even heard rumors that the SeedSigner might one day support signing "notes and other stuff."
