I’ve reached a point in life where I’m just counting down the hours to escape the office and dive into building useful things with AI. Without nosebleed coworkers watching over my shoulder foe anything useful they could latch on to

Testing something before you release it to the public saves everyone a lot of time and energy. It's z decent thing to do when you're in software. In Bitcoin hardly any companies or builders do any decent testing. It poisoned the well, as many people are sick of the bad apps, unresponsive features, bugs and overal crappy experiences dumped on our head like it's the latest sh__coin. Instead of releasing 20 apps where 80% of things don't work, try to create, test and release something that's 95% done. And yes, there will always be small bugs, but no gaping holes and downright obvious pre-alpha stuff. Smze hoes for Bitcoin wallets, nostr apps and all these new tools being dumped on us... It also overwhelms the decent apps that do testing the right way as they het 'oveegroN' by the weeds of untested AI garbage.

Nostr has a lot of people making noise and doing marketing, but when you actually are grassroots, on your own, building for the community, you're getting close to zero reach/reaction. That's a pity. But ok. You can't complain either ... that's bad as well. Maybe I'd start hiring influencer women to make it all look nice or something.... seems the be the only way to get attention these days. A few years ago you were admired for trying to be useful. In 2025 you need to sell paper bitcoin, look good on camera or run some fake organisation to get tickets for corporate events. Let's build more. Let's overrule the "10 voices" garbage in bitcoin because I'm tired of it all. Build or perish.

I believe my zero-knowledge time-differentiated, open-source encryption can help the #BitChat project. @jack It's also standalone, no middlemen and can handle text, small files and large files (10MB to 10 GB) seamlessly. You can find it at timeseed.io and the source is on github. It can be adapted easily to serve as a a client-side encryptor, although it's specifically made to run online or offline standalone. I'm here to help or give explanation. #bitchat #timessed #encryption image

Encryption with high flexibility, low learning curve, and ease of use? Free, without a server, without central services and standalone, secure and with high entropy? All synched so you don't have to share new passwords all the time? It's now possible with If you value my work, please keep me going and /donate.... If innovation from grassroots persons is the way forward, then support it.

Did you know there's a simple "since block" clock? It's the little brother of the "Say le Clock" . Since clock: displays the time since last block and becomes more red and vibing in display when the time goes over 10 minutes. Say-le-clock : A clock that keeps track of the new bitcoin blocks found, displays the price in € and $ but the main feature is an audio alert when a block is found, along with a price move audio indicator ever 5 minutes. Every 3rd block, there's a bitcoiner bringing an audio quote. (this is super handig to "hear" what's going on at the bitcoin level while not staring at a screen). You can also set soothing background music while doing so. I play it all day

How timeseed.io works? Decentralized, local/online, offline/online, without central server, without synching "authority" and secured by AES (Galois/Counter mode). Above all: you don't need a private/public key pair anymore. This is like PGP, but with time itself as a decentralized encryption timer. (I worked in VPN/IPsec for years, and build this FREE tool for the community). This is art for me. if you like to support my work ... image

TimeSeed.io is the way to delf-encrypt and sync passwords without any central authority. I made a quick start guide. #encrypt

Seemingly simple tool, randomly picks BIP39 word and self-tests its own entropy quality, rejects anything that is medium or lower quality.

For a crowd obsessed with a cryptocurrency, shockingly few understand èncryption.

Encrypting anything is difficult for most average users. But even for more advanced users it's sometimes a challenge between complexity and security. Moet of them use private and public keys. I solved all of that with the multi level approach on timeseed.io One seed, no central sever, and secure cyphers on an easy to use interface. Can work offline and standalone.

Nostr has not one good client. What a sad state of affairs if devs can't even see that you need profile plus a USERname that just works as wallet and username at the same time. NiP05 providers 4/5 fail miserable at onboarding.

Hey#amethyst why is there no 'zaps' or 'wallet' option in your menu? That's like the first thing normal users will look foe after customizing their profile Hi to configure zap sending?

Engagement on nostr for me (with about 330 followers) is close to 1 to 5 people. It's incredible high-effort and low return (return as : real signal and engagement). Still trying, but wondering if others feel the same nose-dive in interactions last could or weeks?

Probably the inventor of the wheel, was laughed at, because something round was too much work in order to having to roll it around yourself. Technical NIH syndrome is at all time high.

First RELEASE : v1.13 is LIVE now. You have your TimeSeed? Then you can communicate securely. Derive secure passwords from a single seed with "TimeSeed.io". An Open-source, standalone, no middlemen, no tracking, no central server, no pub/private key — just pure privacy & control. Development is pure Value4Value (if you want this to expand and continue, please contribute, we're grassroots).Read the Quick start or How it works guide to get your (small) learning curve going.
