#gm nostr. I have developed an idea to drop my bitcoin to my wife automatically if I get unalived by some crazy USA shit or a sudden stroke, and looking for opinions on my plan to see if I’ve missed any pitfalls. I would create a signed PBST file that transfers my #bitcoin to the family wallet (currently empty), which my wife has access to in multiple backups. So I would create a scheduled email to go out a few months into the future containing the signed PBST file, then set an email reminder to myself to reset the schedule a week or so before the email goes out. If I’m not respirating at that time, the email will go out to her with simple instructions on how to use an app to broadcast the tx, quite a dead-simple process actually that any noob could pull off - it’s a one step process. In my scenario, the PBST file need not be protected very strongly at all, because nobody could change the destination of the coins. What am I missing?

Nobody watched Andreas’ video on this obviously. You can protect yourself with perfect privacy by simply creating, timestamping and securely storing the files showing your stack and how it’s held. You can set these files aside safely and delete them later if you want. You don’t have to give them to ANYONE unless YOU want to use it later to fight an audit. This is a GIFT from the IRS people. The safe harbor situation does NOT require you to file anything now. If you sell a bunch of bitcoin in an exchange next year or the next and subsequently get audited sometime in the future over it, you can just pull out your time stamped files and they can’t pursue you any longer after showing them that. Everyone seems to think the only way this works is to fill out the wallet info and send it in to the IRS before yesterday but THAT’S NOT HOW THIS WORKS! #tax #taxes #safeharbor #bitcoin

reposting this blurb from one of my replies to #asknostr because I’m curious about any thoughts on key security or updates in key management to help avoid loss/theft of nostr keys. I feel like nostr needs a signing device that can generate your key offline, airgapped and hold the keys and sign events only onboard like a bitcoin HW. I think it’s that important. This is probably where someone tells me this already exists! There’s https://nostrtool.com developed by @npub1tv8…7wn2 of the seedsigner project, which lets you create a #nostr key offline from a standard seed phrase, so the software already exists. Perhaps this could just be added to the seedsigner interface in the future?? That would be amazing. Anyway:
“The one fear I have is the single point of failure in the nsec key, and what happens if someone gets a hold of yours. Is there a permissionless 2FA that can be introduced to the login process? I saw Damus has the ability to sign some kind of termination event on your account if, say, someone started rogue posting with your stolen key, but I don’t know how the relays handle this or if other clients would still let them post as you. Someone could decrypt all your DMs with your key, etc. I suppose signing apps are one answer, where you only import your nsec key once, then use that app to sign an event that proves it’s you in order to log into other apps, but this key slinging is a bit scary, and should be treated with the same seriousness as guarding a seed phrase to a cold wallet. More is needed here to protect nostriches from key loss/theft.”

That’s why every sat-stacking ape is a hero right now, because we are all diminishing the possibility of that future, or at least creating a resistance, by hodling as much as possible for as long as possible. But we’re such a small group of people compared to the nocoiners out there. Listen, I enjoy imagining a utopian bitcoin future with rolling green hills and unimaginably tall buildings as much as the next pleb, but in my heart, I feel certain that the rich are figuring this all out right now, and will hoard the bitcoin any way they can to keep the nocoiners as their slaves in the future. One way to do this is with notes like above, like they could just overprint. I just read online that the SEC is going to open up an option for ETF holders to withdraw their bitcoin to their own wallets, which would put down a lot of FUD about the ETFs trying to do this and run off with all the coin. Hopefully that is not a taxable event.

Most people can’t be helped and yes, I think you’re right and they’ll create a paper bitcoin-backed currency like was done with gold. This currency will be used by all who are not actively stacking right now, which is almost everyone. And then, after long enough, some politician will come along a-la-Nixon, take us off the bitcoin standard, and we’ll be back to square one

I tested it to its limits, but I couldn’t find an easy backup method that wasn’t a half page of text, couldn’t find one that I was certain I wouldn’t fail to recover in 10 or 20 years. We forget stuff over time and so the password to your fortune has to be both really complex and super simple to backup. I see no competitor to the seed phrase for this. It’s so perfect, and any complexity added beyond a 25th word is asking for trouble. The superiority and dominance of the basic seed phrase reminds me of what someone recently said about Spotify: “its only real competition is silence”

Multisig backups are a mess. The BSMS standard exists, but in my experience, the BSMS files are not compatible 100% from wallet to wallet. I’ve tried and some wallets fail to load BSMS files created by others. Period. This leaves me feeling like I would need to rely on one wallet vendor for recovery instead of the basic and universal, uncomplicated seed phrase. So for long term storage, it’s frightening to feel like you might have problems later if your chosen wallet vendor vanishes. You need to be concerned with derivation paths, key fingerprints and all that mess. My question is: has anyone simplified multisig (self-custody) backups to the fool-proof level of seed phrase simplicity? #asknostr #multisig

I made the same mistake you made here in Damus, and have made it a few times now. I see what happened now and I always want to foster peace, so I’ll explain: my original comment was actually in reply to stargirl’s question (I hadn’t even seen your question yet when I was answering her), but because of how damus displays the threads, I keep mixing up people’s responses. So when you snarked at me about being too wordy with my answer, I was like wtf is this? I think you saw the thread and replied to me as if my response to stargirl was actually to you, which it wasn’t. So we both read it wrong. Merry Christmas and thank you for the lesson. I’ll be more careful about who is responding to whom, and I’ll try other clients that maybe make it easier for my Reddit brain to see what’s happening. Apologies anon!

complex 25th word on your standard seed does a damn good job. I’ve seen people post their seed phrases online as a challenge but because their 25th word was too complex for a brute force crack nobody ever got the money. Another option is single vendor, single seed multisig wallet created by using the same seed/HW but different 25th words on each key you add to the multisig setup using your HW

ha! one day countries will realize that the more bitcoin mines they operate, the less likely that bombs will fall from the sky, because the eventual economy will value bitcoin’s decentralization as its core value and when mining is so distributed because of each country’s efforts, each will protect each other’s mining operations as their own, because that operation is helping the network for everyone.

First and foremost, and undying dedication to optimism, whether you were born with it or not. Also, a bit of nonconformity, some courage, the ability to tune out haters, the instant belief in the technology once you understoodd it (but you’d have to be a natural-born bitcoiner to even bother do the homework). It takes patience, resolve and an absence of doubt. It takes a sense of humor (when charts drop) and it takes staying humble and not gloating or selling when prices soar. We’re not all the same, for sure, but we get along pretty well because the qualities it takes to become a bitcoiner make us all fairly compatible. I’m especially enjoying my conversations with those on the opposite side of the political spectrum from me, because I believe a new circular bitcoin economy will enable left and right to unite once we break the fiat chains and see that, to steal a line from the great movie Bulworth, “republicans have more in common with democrats than they do with rich people”
