A #CBDC is a rationing system.

Imagine fixing multisig, or time locking Bitcoin. Instead of putting stickers on a lantern post.

Working hard on tools foe Bitcoin and encryption. I don't sell chairs. I invent tables.

Some stupid nostr app deleted all my followers. Don't know how. If I don't follow you, feel free to reply or like and I'll refollow you. Nostr needs better apps.

All my follows and followers are gone... How can that be? I don't get why nostra never seems to work properly. ;(

Encryption today mostly means trusting apps, update pipelines, and centralized infrastructure. Even “end-to-end” systems still depend on vendors, app stores, and forced updates. Timeseed v2 is an attempt to remove that dependency entirely. It’s a lightweight, open-source, client-side encryption tool that runs as a standalone HTML file (online or fully offline, air-gapped if you want). No accounts, no servers, no key exchange. Instead of contacts and key servers, Timeseed uses deterministic time-based key derivation: Generate a high-entropy TimeSeed root Optionally add a secret pepper Derive reproducible passkeys scoped to daily, monthly, or long-term periods Rotate keys simply by advancing the date — no coordination required Crypto stack: Argon2id (memory-hard KDF) AES-GCM (authenticated encryption) Per-operation random salts and IVs All encryption happens locally before any network touch You can share a TimeSeed publicly if it’s pepper-protected, or keep everything private. Re-keying is trivial. No identifiers tied to phone numbers, emails, or IPs. Timeseed v2 also includes LockIt, a companion encrypt/decrypt tool for text and files using derived passkeys — useful on desktop or mobile in constrained situations. This isn’t a messaging app. It’s pre-network encryption you control. If you believe sovereignty means owning your keys and your tooling, this may be useful.

After a few years on nostr: I see little to no improvement. Super bad clients, unstable connection, relays are cra*, the NIP05 name thing is a disaster to work with (only one provider actually really works), and the feed is a chaotic mess of memes and old charts or ads for some gimmicks. If I post something real (like a tool or some insight / blogpost) it gets zero to 5 views/reactions at best. This is so dead. I can't understand how people in the bitcoin space keep raving about this complete failure of a network. (and yes, it had potential, but it's now nothing more than a glorified pub/sec key authenticator with bad implementations.

my nostr feed is total garbage... wtf is this ? 😟

I present the BIP39 word stream. What it does It displays one random word from the official BIP39 word list (the 2048 words used for cryptocurrency seed phrases) at a time, in large text on screen. Every few seconds (default 10s), the current word fades out and a new one appears with a smooth pop animation. The key feature is the "pepper" field: You can type any extra passphrase (locally only — never sent anywhere). This pepper is mixed with strong cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues) and a counter to generate each word. The result is a cryptographically biased-random selection of BIP39 words, useful for people who want to add personal entropy to a seed-generation process while watching words appear slowly.

I'm building a next level encryption method for messages and files that can be used outside of the surveillance network. So far, I found zero bitcoiners or encryption loving people that want to test along with me on this. Is there anyone out there willing to test or work together on something cool and proof of work?

Maybe someone in the bitcoin community can help me. I'm ready to alpha-test the new timeseed v2 (encryption system). However, I need people that know something about encryption algos. So far, I couldn't find anyone knowing about crypto (not the s***coins, but the cryptography) :) I think it's very important to have a standalone, open-source, decentral way of having quantum resistant encryption that works before it hits any client, network or centralized system. In other words: real offline, decentral systems that generate code. The main thing is: as usual bitcoin projects get released even before testing, and leave the users with all kinds of problems, I want to do the opposite: test and learn BEFORE release. DM me if: - you want to spent time - want to deliver proof of work - know something about encryption - want to be part of the timeseed gang (of 1;)

nostr web apps .. so bad... for real. primal is absolute s***, doesn't load properly, snort.social: feed always empty auth failing after a while, and so many others just fail fail fail. No wonder less and less people even want to try to use it day by day. Is there no good usable fast nostr webapp out there? (don't get me started on android app, it's also bad, with Amethyst as the only mildly usable one). (finally, after 5 minutes managed to get this out on primal...:)

EU Bitcoiners don't understand how f'd they are. They're sitting ducks in a prison that's been erected around them for years now. The EU enemy knows you are the real way to make them crumble. They're faster, they scale and they're at the same time controlling the narrative to the 90% NPC and goons. You can't eliminate monsters with flyers and stickers. Organize, adapt. Be brutal. Be relentless. And read / hear this.

Bitcoin needs to slay monsters

Working hard on 2 projects now: - the upgraden 8rack seed generation system (it's finished, just ironing out smaller UI bugs now) - the next generation of timeseed

Working on a second, more slick version of the timeseed.io encryption page. The next version will need more testing. The problem is, we have no real community with channels with active people in Europe. Most of them are even too lazy to click a link. so I'm calling on the real proof of work people to help me test this thing properly in v2. The main reason is to have an unstoppable, decentralized, standalone way of doing encryption with time-based seeds. This time, in v2. the focus will be the usability for non-tech users. We'll need it.

Primal bist client, after 1 week if use (trying again after a few months) it's just empty, you can't even refresh. I don't get why everyone likes this so much, it's a memory hog, and most messages don't get through. Even with 6 or whatever relais.

Is saying GM to everyone here still a thing or am I living in 2023?

So where are all the Belgian and Dutch people at over here?
