This is a slide of the "never to be seen presentation" that I would have shown in September. For those who don't believe it, don't believe it 😉

I've put the 4 entropy guides that were scattered deep in the avb website, all in one place for future reference: (yes I did this with AI, and read through it, the original guides were of course hand-made)

Entropy Guide — Create Your Own Bitcoin Entropy

Four proven physical methods to generate perfect 128/256-bit entropy for your Bitcoin seed phrase. No black-box hardware, no online tools.

Not much has changed since this blogpost... "The lightning network; our crazy high-maintenance ex"

Lightning Network : our high-maintenance crazy-ex

A third look at the state of the Lightning Network from and end-user perspective

(In Dutch) Found the deleted epsode EP 169 of the podcast, where I literally explain the attack that happened. And I though "I sound like a broken record, let's not release this" for those who want... from minute 9 onwards and after 40mins. (in Dutch)

deleted episode (april 2026) explaining hardware and entropy in bitcoin

(unedited) for future reference... I want to still put it online, I swear this was originally recorded beginning of April 2026

Another "told you so" ? 😟

Lightning Network : our high-maintenance crazy-ex

A third look at the state of the Lightning Network from and end-user perspective

This technical drawing paper with some words on it, pinned to a fridge by a magnetic flashlight, is outperforming your multi-vendor, multi-signature, overly complex setup for over 8 years straight.

AVB's Bitcoin & Encryption Projects

(find it at the bottom, along with the github link) fully reworked (non RNG) version is out now v.2.15 If you don't have dice, ... you surely have a deck of playing cards at home. With these tools, you can generate a seedphrase (if you shuffle +8 times or do casino-shuffle between runs!) if you have 1 deck.

I'm in the process of testing the new physical entropy with playing cards tool. I've removed all possibilities to "auto draw" at random... since no one (including me) likes random number generators anymore since last week 😉 It will be back online very soon, after proper testing (3 people and 2 AI's going over it a few hundred times to million times) allesvoorbitcoin.be/21tools

1 deck of good playing cards and you have more entropy than you'll ever need:

1-Deck Casino Card → BIP-39 Seed Generator (Physical Draws Only)

(you dan do this "auto generated" or you can do it yourself with a real physical card deck (recommended! )

When all bitcoiners would unite and fund something real, we would crush tge WEF eventually. And here we are , sticking sticker on a landpost or buying coffee from an Instagram woman.

Is every middleman a shitcoiner? Is every shitcoiner a middleman? Is every Bitcoin payable service other than mining fees a scam?

3+ years podcasting and 10 years in Bitcoin, yet I've never been asked for an interview outside the Dutch language area. The same 10 voices everywhere is apparently the norm? I'm on a crusade to help give information on encryption, enteopy, privacy and Bitcoin. I'm not shilling reflinks. No sponsors.

Got another 'newsletter' of a lovely woman 'love is bitcoin' trying to sell a jade toy-grade HWW At this point I have more respect for people slinging Time-Share condos at the Costa Blanca than HWW wallet peddling marketing persons.

The EU's Chat control is evil. It also makes the European Union a totalitarian regime. The moto is always : "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.” That line appears wherever privacy is discussed, and it works because it smuggles in a false definition before the argument even begins.2 It redefines privacy as concealment. Once that move succeeds, resistance to surveillance can be painted as suspicious from the start. The right response is not embarrassment, nor the weak claim that everyone has private shame he would prefer to keep off display. The right response is definitional: privacy is not the hiding of guilt but control over Privacy is control over disclosure, not concealment, the power to selectively reveal oneself. That definition separates privacy from two adjacent concepts. Secrecy is narrower, and anonymity concerns attribution. The “nothing to hide” argument works only by collapsing these three into one; once they are held apart, it loses its force. The political dimension is more direct. Surveillance enables control independent of prosecution. The opposition that can be monitored can be neutralized: donors identified and pressured, organizers tracked and harassed, plans discovered and preempted. Totalitarian regimes require surveillance not because all citizens are criminals but because surveillance enables control. “Nothing to hide” ignores that the watching itself is the threat. Above text from Max Hillebrand's "The Praxeology of Privacy" The people using that phrase are either naïve (and therefor the enemy of progress) or evil.

The number of people running a full Bitcoin node in your environment, entourage and immediate surroundings... Had it gone up or down or stayed the same past 6 months? With me: down.
