„Bitcoin is emancipation from financial patriarchy.“
Waiting for the 51% attack and wondering how Ocean pays its bills now that the „BIPcoin“ has no buyers.
Since I have onboarded many people to Aqua and Misty @Breez ⚡️ I wrote this article and sent a newsletter about what the temporary disablement of @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Exchange means and what to do next:
Aqua, Misty Breez, Bull Bitcoin and other wallets - Money temporarily unspendable
Your funds are secure, only Lightning payments and swaps are stuck. Here is what the error means and what to do while Boltz stays offline.
Coldcard hack, scammers and so-called lawyers exploiting victims, Boltz down, AI attacks and a hardfork all while I'm on a road trip through south western USA.
I just wanted to have some time off!
This field of work never gets boring. I wish the dull, tranquil times back.
Coldcard hack, sent an emergency newsletter to my subscribers on what to do if they use a Coldcard and that Bitcoin itself is safe.
I am on vacation so it's rather short.
Coldcard Bug - Bitcoin being stolen by AI attacker
Bitcoin itself is safe - only Coldcard affected
Fantastic news! It matters where data is expensive and in case of governmental internet shut downs.

Good bye @Amethyst, hello Dark Wisp @utxo the webmaster 🧑💻
It also works with Aegis, not Amber only 🤙
Fed up with nostr devs who think they can fix Bitcoin. I need an @Amethyst alternative that does not advertise on chain zaps out of principle!

After all the discussions we had about on-chain privacy and the negative effects on the privacy of ALL users when identities are tied to a BTC address you have to put it on the front of the profile?
I want to be able to at least opt out of this!!
“This case is the ultimate irony of Europe’s spyware crisis. Someone on the very committee tasked with investigating Pegasus gets infected by it. And what has happened since? The parliament looks the other way when new European spyware abuses emerge" @npub1vz03...ttwj

Researchers say Stelios Kouloglou’s device was compromised after he joined European parliamentary committee
A good and needed step. Usernames for WhatsApp. For real privacy and censorship resistance use @SimpleX Chat (no phone number needed) or at least get off Meta and use @Signal
WhatsApp to let people chat with usernames - how to reserve one
The app's new usernames feature will be rolled out globally over the next few months.
Dangerous open-source, runs locally 👀

I am not reading / using Nostr DMs as long as they are not encrypted.
Correct me if that has changed.
