What would be the ultimate opening of our website? What kind of picture should we show? What would be the optimal text? “Freedom supplier since 2021 #700.000” Is it time to switch mining and security? We are supplying far more signing devices, faraday sleeves and backup solutions than miners. In doubt, time to reach out to the plebs.

It’s amazing to see what people create in the bitcoin space. @BitPopArt has just shaked this beauty out of his sleeve. Thanks for the proof of work!

You can just buy important privacy enhancing stuff for your bitcoin… View quoted note →

Please once again note that every payment you do with Fiat on our website, all your data goes into a central EU database.

So many years after the @Ledger hack… This is currently falling on the doormat of the people that were in that hack… The hack and shitcoin push by this company was one of the reasons to start supplying bitcoin only, open source devices to bitcoiners. Deleting data after shipment.

Where our company started. #700.000 20210911. Took off in a similar fashion 😉🚀

If you don’t use faraday yet, you’re late, but still on time. You can’t turn off your phone anymore. Your signing device is at risk. We have been testing different faraday solutions for over a year. This one came out best. We ordered several for our clients throughout the years. Now we are listing them in mass. Nice thing, the company SLNT actually produces useful stuff and has bitcoin on its balance sheet. And we could pay in bitcoin…

Received an order from France. Following comments per mail after order: - “couldn’t find the language switch button, made the order in Dutch…” Directly made it more apparent. Now it’s not just the Liquid Glass flag but also the NL/EN text to make it more expressive. - “now you responded and found the button, I found a location on your website where it is not translated and one of the page links on a picture click shows a 404” Holimoli, thanks for that, directly fixed it, we totally missed it. Bitcoiners are a different breed.

It’s interesting how extremely different engagement is on x. At least in nostr it’s continuously zero. 😂

We’re preparing to launch a new product line in cooperation with a company that holds a treasury in bitcoin that actually creates something bitcoiners need. That we believe will sell better than our seal bags (sold thousands). And its slogan is “silence the chaos”. Which company do you believe we will be the first official reseller in EU for? We actually bought the goods with bitcoin, directly settled. Manufactured and paid for to a different continent, zero cost, full privacy. Depending on customs, in stock next week. Excited.

We've spent the last weeks updating our product portfolio, updating our website and expanding the range of products and ease of use of our website. Security and theme updates on the backend, navigation, translation and design updates on the frontend. We've had over 40.000 views on our website. It's nice to see that the inception of the first page was on 2021-09-09. We went live two days after 2021-09-11. It was exactly at block #700.000. We've helped thousands of people with freedom and sovereignty throughout Europe. We are launching new products weekly currently. Products that bitcoiners will love. If you have any advice on our website please let us know. We love to build with and for the bitcoiners.

Spending is easy, saving is hard.

Just did a major overhaul of our website. We updated all our informative pages. We listed the Canaan miners, because people are requesting those. Also listed the seedsleeve, which we believe is going to be a really cypherpunk solution for one of your backups. We are working together with Mineracks in Australia and Hodling in Switzerland for this one. Please DM if you want to have more details.

It’s interesting to see the enormous surge of coinjoins. And when you spend, you might want to use a coinjoin. We had some fellow plebs that bought some stuff via our webshop. Just to check for our fellow Noderunners we decided to check on the UTXO, it came from a relatively large UTXO. On public open source block explorers like @bithypha and many others you can already check out the trace. In this particular case it was directly clear it came from a too large bitcoin number. For a lousy webshop buy. If you have larger UTXOs to spend from, make sure you coinjoin, otherwise if that data leaks or the shop has bad intentions you are at risk. Of course it’s best to use lightning, but if you use custodial lightning you might again use some additional privacy. It should for sure become best practice for on-chain spending. Another use case that is important is the data leakage and sharing risk. Your UTXO’s coming from KYC exchanges are linked to your personal data and put into many databases with government institutions. It’s a matter of time until they are leaked and your UTXO on your name not spend, or just moved one hop, is worth trying to knock on your door. You might not be as paranoid as many plebs, but once it becomes clear the data leakage has occurred you might simply be too late… View quoted note →

After polling, we are now releasing the NerdQAxe++ for the cheapest price in EU. Including stand and PSU.

GM if you look at bitcoin, one particular thing is interesting. The hashrate. We’ve passed 1 zetahash, we didn’t just pass it. We’re blasting over it. The amount of buildout is unbelievable. A large nuclear reactor of electricity generation equivalent just spun up in a few weeks. Proof of work done by over a billion chips distributed over millions of machines. Global game theory, global money, decentralized.

This seriously exploded. Not so much here, but our DM's and mailbox was spammed with stickers. Great to see. So we built the following for our fellow dutchies. As you all know the dutch community, with hundreds of locations accepting bitcoin for over a decade, is quite active. So we're going to support it in a special way. You can order a sticker directly with the businesses and people that are actively helping bitcoin adoption locally. We tried to explain the different options for bitcoin payments on a separate page too. We will actively update the page, but you can already order stickers and check how we setup the dutch page. It's only available in dutch as it is created to increase dutch adoption with local sticker shipping. When you click the english language button the homepage excludes the payments tab. In 2021 we shortly had this tab active, we now revived it again to support all the ongoing initiatives.

We want to list (as per request) this sticker on our website. It would be a double sided window sticker, so you can use it as a normal and window sticker. Issue, where is the source file for this logo? Can't find a high quality PDF or SVG ready for print. Anyone has an open source GitHub where the bitcoin stickers can be found so everyone can just print them?

As we exist for four years (one cycle) now, we will post some stuff that was utterly unsuccessful. Our beautiful wrapping paper. On our website we made wrapping paper a possibility to order. Apparently everyone orders stuff for themselves. We basically bought multiple roles of wrapping paper for ourself 😂

It’s 9/11 today. One cycle ago (4 years) @BitcoinBrabant started. At block #700.000. 2 years, half a cycle were given to make it work. It didn’t, conclusion: if you don’t borrow fiat, you keep on losing bitcoin. We do however persist and refuse to borrow fiat. A sovereign bitcoin company is still here, having supplied freedom and inspired tens of thousands of people. “Every person I meet is my superior in some way, in that, I learn”
