Just watched a bit of the Strategy World event :) they should have put a laugh track under most of it. Never heard so much pseudo finance mumbo-jumbo in such a short time since the WorldCom general meetings :)

Yesterday I've released a system to use nostra ID's as a sort of IVQ number for encrypted communication. Even when not using the nostr network. View quoted note →

Fresh drops! Three new tools live on

AVB's Bitcoin & Encryption Projects

Revamped Bitcoin Time-Lock page – clean, user-friendly wizard to lock BTC until a set date (no more confusion). 🔐

Bitcoin Time-Lock | Satoshi Time Protocol

Locutus – standalone HTML-only Nostr client, instant onboarding, zero fluff. DENMS – distributed encrypted messaging via Nostr pubkeys. Ciphertext spreads over Nostr + Notify/IPFS/DPASTE/Blossom, with PNG stego fallback. Game-changer for emergencies or censored networks. 🕵️‍♂️ All open-source, value-for-value. If you vibe with the freedom tech, tip here:

Proof of work is life 🚀

Proud to announce the very firs release of Locutus, a simple html nostr client with all basic functionality, and above all: a 2-click way to onboard people in a blink of an eye. Assimilate new users like the Borg! Example implementation:

Maar vooral: waar zitten die 320 bitcoiners in België? :) View quoted note →

Belofte maakt schuld... eens we onder de 70.000 USD zouden gaan zou ik de podcast terug opstarten... Well... here goes EP164 .... Back to the Futures Voor de mensen die nog geabonneerd zijn komt de episode zodadelijk vanzelf binnen. De rest moet nog even wachten.

Nice Godzilla candle going on here :)

Today I've released a newer version of "Lucutus", to improve the mobile experience (sticky logged in accounts, language/region auto-selection, Timeline selection improvements). "You will be assimilated, centralization is futile"

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.

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. Online demo + offline HTML download Open source No tokens, no accounts, no telemetry 👉

TimeSeed creates a random 50-character key on your device and derives your encryption key from it, right in your browser and fully offline. Encrypt...

Today is the day. TS2

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;)
