GM, I have been busy, FavillaKEY now has an enterprise grade passkey mode. Its own locked PASSKEY door, its own PIN, fully offline while it's in use. Check out the demo below. The first login attempt fails on purpose: the KEY refuses until the passkey PIN is entered on the device. Once it's unlocked, the login goes through. Next up is restorable passkeys for everyday users. Lose the KEY, restore from your seed, and your passkeys come back with it. No company in the middle. There's also something else in testing that I'm really excited about. Results have been good so far. More soon 👀

Meet, Morris. Favilla’s new COM (Chief of mischief). 😈 🐶 While his mum is on holidays he’s increasing security at our office.

Are there any eBay or marketplace style Nostr app/apps out there ? #asknostr

One day Nostr will be much more than anonymous shitposting. It's ownership and encryption, with a transport nobody controls. But only if you own your keys. #nostr #bitcoin

Bitcoin's proof of work is the only clock that can't be lied to. A Nostr signature is the only proof of life that can't be faked. Put them together and you get inheritance with no lawyer, no custodian, no seed split, and nothing to remember except living your life. Working on it. #bitcoin #nostr #plebchain #selfcustody #devstr

GM, Favilla KEY at the EMC Lab for RF testing. Exciting !

GM, GE I've published the Favilla KEY two-door mode latch as a defensive publication: how the secure element keeps the bitcoin seed shut to everything but a physically fresh boot while the same device stays online as a Nostr signer. Full technical note, every object id and policy, so nobody can patent it.

The two-door mode latch — Favilla KEY notes

One device, two lives. A secure-element latch that only a physical power cycle can reopen, published as prior art so nobody can patent it.

GM. Big thanks to everyone behind the Bitcoin Bush Bash in Busselton. Best bunch of people I have spent a weekend with in a long time. Got talking to Brett from @GreenBit Technology about AI, mining and where the energy and capital end up, and could not stop thinking about it. My take is that mining chips are nearly done improving while AI chips are nowhere near it, and that is good news for bitcoin, not bad. Wrote it up properly here.

Why bitcoin mining outlasts the AI build-out — Favilla KEY notes

Mining hardware is within a generation or two of a practical ceiling. AI hardware is not. That is the reason the capital comes back around.

GM, Had an amazing time yesterday at the #bussobushbash . I didn’t know what to expect but I highly recommend it to any bitcoiner or person interested in bitcoin. Looking forward to another great day! 🧡 It’s also happened to be located in a beautiful part of the world.

@White Noise GM. Favilla KEY now speaks Marmot, the MLS protocol behind White Noise. Message sent from White Noise, lands in the Favilla KEY app as a forward-secret chat, reply goes back. Each message has its own disposable key so one leak never opens the lot. Nostr key lives in the isolated signing MCU, chats on the phone stay encrypted, and the only thing that can read them is a Favilla KEY that is unlocked and in reach. Confiscate the phone at the border and all you have confiscated is, noise.
