Easy is an amazing designer, contributor to our project, and a solid dude besides. Can’t wait for this. View quoted note →

Appreciate Max having me on the @Ungovernable Misfits pod for a chat. 🧡 https://ungovernablemisfits.com/podcast/confab-09-bitcoin-paradise/

I just created a brand new Nostr account with Primal, selected “bitcoin“ as my interest, and the new account was automatically configured to follow 56 people, which included Pavlenex (who is an awesome dude). It’s good to be in the club if you’re in the club, but I'm also left wondering if Primal can be or is used to de-emphasize some voices or topics as well. View quoted note →

Giving people the opportunity to put less trust in centralized third parties is not "UX regression". When a commercial HWW verifies firmware/software at power-on, users are trusting they're using authentic hardware, and they're outsourcing the verification process to the same entity that produces both the hardware and the software. For many users these choices will make sense, but for some they won't -- it's good for people to have options to choose from.

The read-only CD backup is a clever idea. The shelf-life of optical discs isn't terribly long but could be a good fit for this use case. 🧡 View quoted note →

TLDR for those who missed this: . RPi 0, 0W, 02W, 2 & 3 have permanent ROM that is burned in at the factory . "Firmware" is split between the Pi AND the microSD . Verifying the code on the microSD is authentic is vital, but simple . Sharing a signer is not ideal, but can be viable w/ trusted 3rd parties View quoted note →

For clarity, the SeedSigner only stores keys temporarily until power is disconnected, but it does make getting comfortable with multisig a lot easier. ☺️ View quoted note →

Last few have been a little jarring -- really appreciate my ride-or-die SeedSigner peeps, you know who you are. 🧡

This made me LoL. In seriousness, I appreciate all of the pods who have had me or someone else from the project on as a guest, especially those who have a HWW sponsor and are still willing to talk about other options. 🧡 View quoted note →

Nominal amt of sats to post seems like it would go a long way to resolve the spam issue. Pretty painful right now.

SMH, LoL.

Yup. And we will continue to be here with a compelling alternative model, that requires much less trust in manufacturers and distributors.
