Some essential characteristics of Branta.
Alignment:
- Open Source
- Helps users be sovereign by safely getting into Cold Storage
- Wallets supported are all @npub10pe…n34f funded projects, in line with ethos
Uniqueness:
- Branta acts as Guardrails for being a Sovereign Individual
- Does not touch private keys or make transactions
- At the Nexus of Wallets, Exchanges, and Signing devices
Finally, Bitcoin is either in motion or at rest.
At Rest / In Custody:
Phase 1: Hardcoded PGP-verified SHAs: Good for offline devices only.
Phase 2: API based SHAs. Okay for short term.
Phase 3: NOSTR Web of Trust integration. Likely can endure.
In Motion:
Where are you sending your #Bitcoin? We're solving this next.

2024-06-18 16:16:54

We're building Branta for the Bitcoiners (we are all satoshi).
1. Launch Sparrow; instant notification of wallet PGP status
2. Monitor inbound/outbound IP connection Sparrow is making:
170.75.162.55 --> Lunanode Hosting Inc.
104.22.78.164 --> Cloudflare, Inc.
103.165.192.203 --> Mempool Space K.K.
93.95.231.89 --> RIPE NCC
Information is your friend.

Sparrow makes only a handful of network connections, one's you would expect:

- Fees
- Wallet Updates
Guess how many connections commercial wallets make?

These are the three states Branta will show:
1. Verified
2. Branta is out of date (this will be automated very soon, we only have 1.2.9 support on Mac/Windows - https://github.com/BrantaOps/branta-mac/blob/main/branta/Automations/Helpers/Wallets/BlockstreamGreen.swift#L26 / https://github.com/BrantaOps/branta-windows/blob/main/Branta/Automation/Wallets/BlockStreamGreen.cs#L9-L11)
3. Branta knows the wallet version but the checksum doesn't match
Do you remember which text Branta showed you?
