@BitcoinBrabant @VandelayBTC @MrHodl @Adelgary @PakoVM @SeanObud111 @w_s_bitcoin @BAcct8 I absolutely don't use, and advise against using, KYC cosigning services! And I'm indeed wary of shotgun-KYC risk for the non-KYC ones.

The person who named the cypherpunks is the one nobody can name. Judith Milhon called herself St. Jude. She was a self-taught programmer in Berkeley, and in the early 1990s she coined the word cypherpunk, stitching together cyberpunk and cipher. It was in print within months. Every person who has ever used the word is quoting her. Twenty years before that, in 1973, she helped build Community Memory. A public terminal in a Berkeley record store that anyone could walk up to and post on. No account, no permission, no gatekeeper deciding whose message counted. She died in 2003, five years before the white paper. She never saw a block get mined but she lived life on her own terms and would have made a killer Bitcoiner.

My codex32 CLI tool is Finished. It checks backups, recovers secrets, derives new shares, error corrects damaged backups, adds checksums, creates new backups, reshares existing secrets, and exports xpubs for multisig wallets, and descriptors for Bitcoin Core wallets, and more.

@VandelayBTC @MrHodl @Adelgary @PakoVM @SeanObud111 @w_s_bitcoin @BAcct8 I'm a multisig maxi. Hardware fuckup prevention, physical attack mitigation, sound backup scheme included, inheritance included. Can't beat it.

The difference is: DHH isn’t out to make Linux political. He’s out to make it apolitical. And that’s really pissing off the entrenched Linux clowns. Also he and the people working with him are generally a) way better programmers, b) better people and c) adjusted individuals with families, friends and a life full of joy.

I think I now understand the concept of Swissmaxxing. Next time with better setup. Grateful for paracetamol. This was the first time I spent more than a day in Switzerland and I'm starting to understand what you swissmaxers are talking about. The only downside - I had to refill my fiat debit card twice, it's quite expensive. I've also tried Bitblik with TWINT but the problem is I'm supposed to confirm the other party received the funds. I don't know if they did though, I tried paying a printed static QR code and the paper has no feedback about received payments.

Did you know you can run your own Bitcoin node? A node helps verify the rules and transactions of the network. At CUBO+ students learn how to deploy and operate it… because having your own infrastructure increases your sovereignty.

RGB as a meta asset protocol on Bitcoin. Client-side validation makes RGB the best way to issue assets on Bitcoin, But RGB is more than that. Every Bitcoin layer2 is building its own token standard: TA, Ark tokens, Spark tokens, Liquid assets. None of them compatible: Fragmented liquidity, bridges everywhere. RGB inverts that: assets follow UTXOs, so any layer that moves Bitcoin moves them. Issue once, users take the asset anywhere. No bridges: the bridge is Bitcoin itself.

Some of the additional comments I get in email responses from customers are so nice. "Thank you for hanging in there." "Thank you for all that you do." "Have a great rest of your weekend!" Bitcoiners are the best kind of people.

Bug on ColdCard. BitBox-sponsored influencers: "BitcoiN maximaLism is DEAD! BitcoiN-oNLy wAs ALwAys A DistRaActioN"! Bug on BitBox shitcoin-firmware (Bitcoin-only firmware unaffected). BitBox-sponsored influencers: 🦗 🦗 (Tweeted with max love for BitBox builders, who aren't culpable for their sponsored influencer hypocrisy, and who didn't fucked up even remotely as bad as ColdCard did, not even comparable. Update your BitBox firmware people, there's also another thing relevant for Bitcoin as well.)
