Greetings Central PA Bitcoiners!
We had a great educational meetup two Saturdays ago. I love seeing new faces at meetups, especially educational events! Curiosity and thirst for knowledge are wonderful virtues, and in my experience, largely determine one's trajectory down the bitcoin rabbit hole. Keep learning, and keep stacking skills!
Our next meetup is a coffee meetup this coming Sunday, September 28th, at 1pm. The venue is Denim Coffee in Mechanicsburg...come find us in the back room. Parking is plentiful; there is ample parking behind the café, and street parking out front is also available.
No op-ed this week. Instead, I'll share a blog article from a few years ago that was influential for me. Influential for my password/passphrase habits, anyway.
Trezor published this blog on passphrase strength in 2019 (AKA "the before time"), and was one of my introductions to diceware passphrases. Six years ago, Trezor was a bit more respected amongst bitcoiners than they are now. There weren't many viable options for bitcoin only hardware devices then (Mk1 Coldcard anyone?) and Trezor was the device that many used for their bitcoin cold storage. Many of the bitcoin only devices we use and love today run software that are descendant from Trezor's source code. Great content. https://blog.trezor.io/is-your-passphrase-strong-enough-d687f44c63af
Enjoy the rest of your week, and hope to see you at the meetup on Sunday!
Keep stacking sats, and keep stacking skills.
