If a Bitcoin company would create a perfect replacement for a 'well know service' , and it would be on a v4V model, would people pay? Or .. isn't that possible anymore in a Bitcoin space where grifters and marketing reign? I have hope, but curious what you all think ... (And yes, it depends on the service, I know, let's say foe giggles you replaced coldcard - hypothetically )

update on the 21tools page : - currently working on project "June" so most of the time goes into that - testing/finetuning the 2nd version of the 8rack system. I've decided to not make this public, and will only be shared with active contributors (security and timing reasons). The original v1 of 8rack can be found on the allesvoorbitcoin.be page of course. If you want that version 2, DM me and respect my work :)

There's no such thing as 'a bitcoiner'. There are only people at varying degrees of understanding the grasp on the universal principles underpinning it: the mathematics of energy, the mechanics of value transfer, and the wonders of entropy.

Probably will release 2 encryption tools coming days as well. As many people struggle with the correct use of timeseed.io (it's not for everyone, as "time" itself is your key exchange synchronization). The next tools will not have this time part, and just straight on encrypt messages. The ultimate goal will be to have codes like "AV108444" shared privately and then rotate quantum resistant encrypted files over any network. While also having an extremely low learning curve.

'Amulet': an open-source, 0-install, single file wallet generator. Under value4value model. offline, high-entropy, encrypted backup, Supports legacy, to taproot & silent payments payment codes.

Bitcoin in Berlin is as dead as can be from an outsider's perspective, ... No one advertises it, no one uses it, and there's no mention or even a hint for it. Just my opinion, we need other things than a Bitcoin map that's only used by 5 people.

So, are there any good #Bitcoin places in #Berlin? 2nd try...

Any #Berlin bitcoin places I need to see? Visiting someone and wondering if the Berlin bitcoin scene has already improved a bit since 2 years ago (where I was kicked out of an ice salon for even daring to ask to pay in bitcoin :)

So, having 24+ tools and a donation page with a Silient payment section. Of 1 year of having this address online (avb@....) it has receiver 4 donations. Two of which was myself testing the system. And two people that sat across a table from me and wanted to see how it worked (after I donated to them). There is close to zero real life organic adoption so far for silent payments. And that's just a damn shame. what's the main reason for this I ask myself. Too little use cases? (I don't believe that). Too small number of implementations in wallets? (sure) Too complex? In any case, I was wondering if other bitcoiners saw the same lack of action on the Silent Payments channel?
