As btc goes mainstream, companies will get captured and products compromised. Nowadays, most who LARP "trust don't verify" are unable to interact with the bitcoin network without "help" from 3rd parties. Asserting your sovereignty is more important than ever! If you're not validating your own receiving tx privately, YNGMI. Visit my YT channel and get your shit together. So how much is a privacy preserving *budget* BTC node accessible from anywhere in the world through clearnet/tor/i2p that you can remotely manage and point your wallets to? Intel i5 8GB used mini-pc: 80€ (used) SSD 2TB: 100€ (new) anonymous VPS: 2€/month (lnvps)

Holy shit Proton Wallet

You'll love your CBDC

After completing my GPG videos, many of you have been emailing me encrypted messages over the years. Remember what I discussed about key rotation? Well, my subkeys expired this week, so here's how to update them if you already have them in your keyring. $ gpg --refresh-keys If it fails, specify a different key server: $ gpg --refresh-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu[dot]com If that doesn't work, download the public key manually from the key server providing the fingerprint of my master certifying key, and "--import" it If you cannot verify the following signature, it cannot be said that I'm responsible for this. LOL. Let's see who's first.

I've had some content removed from my YouTube channel due to violations of their Community Guidelines. LOL, listen to this... I must go through a "policy training" before I'm "allowed" to delete the offending content. So that's it. My channel will cease to exist in a few weeks I guess. All my content is available here:

⚡️ NUEVO VÍDEO ⚡️ Un Dispositivo de Hombre Muerto (Dead Man's Switch) basado en la aplicación NTFY. * Aprende a auto-hospedar un servidor NTFY para entregar mensajes en tu móvil con notificaciones PUSH funcionales.

⚡️ NEW VIDEO ⚡️ A Dead Man's Switch based on the NTFY app and (to a lesser extent) e-mail. * Even if you don't care about the DMS, you can learn how to self host a NTFY server, to deliver messages to your mobile with working push notifications. Enjoy!

I will probably make a video about setting up a Dead Man Switch. It must be easy, but I don't like email for this short of thing. You can do everything right with a Postfix server, and then Google (or whoever) can change their minds over the weekend and REKT your deliverability.

I've had the privilege of meeting Pupusas Game (@PupusasG in birdsite), a truly beautiful human being and 100% legit bitcoin educator. I am humbled by his personal story and convinced that his work and contributions will be paramount in moving El Salvador into a brighter future. No small feat.

For all you @syncthing fans out there, be aware that if you're not self-hosting your own Discovery Server, you're not preserving your privacy. Celebrity privacy LARPS unsurprisingly DGAF on their YouTube guides, so here's how to do it in a couple of minutes.

If you don't connect your wallets to your own node, you're using to somebody else's node to access the bitcoin network. In doing so you are disclosing bitcoin addresses, balances, IP addresses, and in some cases your public key to a third party. To preserve your financial privacy, you need to connect your wallets to YOUR full node through an electrum server that you run next to it. Some advice: 1. Make sure that your wallets connect to your node BEFORE creating a private key or importing a public key. 2. Avoid any wallet that you cannot point to your own electrum server. 3. Learn how to read your server's logs to verify that the clients are connecting to it. Don't trust the UI of the wallet (you'd be surprised...) 4. If you've already ruined the privacy of a wallet, ditch it, and coinjoin your old outputs into new private keys. 5. Actually, it is a good idea to use someone else's node. But only if you do it anonymously, and only to BROADCAST your transactions to the bitcoin network: mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion/tx/push explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/tx/push > Resources in both English and Spanish: youtube.com/40PaymentRequired
