👍🏻👍🏻. Hmm, I’ll have to test the new rebranded app. You’re right it’s definitely possible given the hardware, the last time I tried they had just never coded up and actually bothered to add it.
Makes me wonder if these old legacy wallets written from scratch on custom scripts such as Blockstream or Unchained will get beaten out by new competitors using stuff like BDK and Rust Bitcoin. Those newer wallets can safely move so much faster and add so much more functionality while these old legacy wallets feel old af and super clunky. Wild with how many people Unchained employs and how long they’ve been around that they only in 2025 enabled Segwit.

Gave up. Was shocked by the fees versus lightning. Really not great for ultra small payments. Probably best for payments that are at least 10k or more, otherwise fees are too high and need to use lightning or Cashu.

Zeus for small payments via lightning and Cashu. Clean, easy, FOSS, and reliable.

GM! Trust self custody with steel backups. Saylor and all his cronies just keep regurgitating that proof of reserves are a huge security problem… without giving any actual reasons. He says ask AI in deep think mode. If you are unwilling to even give a single reason I cannot take you seriously. The idea that an accountant’s opinion is stronger proof than cryptographic evidence is laughable.

Guys those many years of countless jokes that Bitcoiners are a bunch of socially retarded autists weren’t just jokes, it’s funny because it’s true. Many of the smartest engineers and scientists are socially inept and poor communicators who believe wild shit outside of their core competency. That’s not just Bitcoin, but consistent throughout history. Isaac Newton is one of the greatest scientists ever and his family suppressed his many writings on alchemy and the occult because of how insane it sounded and they didn’t want him to be discredited. In the modern age with social media nothing about people has changed, you’re just now more aware of reality.

Pensions by governments and large employers are largely just fraud to convince workers to accept lower salaries now in exchange for the promise of a higher future payout … which they then underfund and rug you

GM! I’m happy to pay in BTC and support BTC only companies. But static pricing in sats is not workable at this stage of adoption. For now we need dynamic pricing based on USD converted into sats. Almost everyone is still earning in USD and even when everyone gets paid in BTC, the amount of sats will likely decline over time. Expecting me to pay 40%+ more than a few months back when the good or service is essentially unchanged is a poor value proposition.

Strike loans are not available in my area of the USA, and even if they were higher rates and lack of proof of reserves are deal breakers.
As an alternate I have taken out a small 6 month loan via Lava.xyz (minimum loan size as low as a $1k) at 8% plus a 2% origination fee. Will report back on overall experience, but the origination took < 5 minutes and was super easy. So far so good.

2025-05-14 13:11:30

GM! A few months into Strike Bill Pay + Privacy.com to pay all bills and online purchases. Conclusion: pretty great and will keep using. I would love for BTC direct payment to become more widespread, but until then I think this is the best sovereignty minded personal finance combo out there.

Yeah you can always make a fair argument either way. However I think a new device with zero real world track record and whose features are still being developed and are ESP32 based should probably be cheaper. At least to start until all features are done and they have proven out more. If it’s this versus coldcard MK4,l for basically the same cost, I find this a tough sell until the Frost benefits prove out in the wild over time.

Man we went from Bitcoin is freedom money for enemies to trying to censor anyone we don’t like shockingly quickly…

2025-05-02 15:21:53

- reply

That’s true, but the consensus has always been Bitcoin is freedom money for enemies. Not you get banned as soon as we find your transaction type annoying. 🤷

2025-05-02 15:11:57

- reply

We also should not root for a world where miners can band together and block transactions as that means uncensorable money is gone, and that’s the whole premise of BTC. If miners hate me for whatever reason and can band together to block my transaction, then BTC has been rendered pointless. This is the very foundation of freedom money.

2025-05-02 15:10:19

- reply

That is I guess at least theoretically possible but objectively not currently happening and miners have every incentive to include them as they can extract extra revenue from the MEV opportunity this presents. In order for that to theoretically happen you have to assume every miner will be economically irrational.
Most miners and thus most hash rate currently accept out of band transactions. There are collective out of band systems like the mempool accelerator and mining pool specific ones such as those by Mara and ViaBTC.

2025-05-02 14:59:53

- reply

Slight correction: you objectively cannot stop data from getting in the chain. You can only make it slightly harder and thus only slightly delay it. That’s all the current transaction relay policy does. You can still submit transactions above the node relay limit directly to mempool.space or miners

@nprofile…zn5v co-signer is amazing! Feature request: have co-signer allow only sending coins to same wallet. Especially helpful for @nprofile…2wdm where you need to periodically refresh the miniscript based relative timelocks. Admittedly a niche use case and will have approximately ~100 users.

2025-05-01 19:04:20

- reply

Consensus around what is a valid transaction is not changing. What ultimately is changing whether MEV/MEVil is perpetuated or is decreased. The limit only serves to provide increased centralization pressure and revenue to mines for out of band payments and weakens the public mempool, which is critical to a healthy network.

2025-04-30 04:03:43

The concern is that aligning mempool transaction relay policy and consensus transaction policy is a backdoor for an op cat soft fork?

2025-03-26 14:49:26

- reply

Xpub and descriptor are different.
High level: for a multisig wallet you need ALL of the public keys for every spend, for a single signature wallet, you only need your private key. For anything more complex than a single signature wallet you need to understand how the wallet was set up. So even if it’s a 2 of 3 that means you only need 2 of the 3 private keys, but you still need all 3 public keys. So in this example you would need all 3 xpubs.
Here is a good primer https://blog.casa.io/introducing-wallet-https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePx5lBSI0es

2025-03-26 13:39:33

GM! If you have Bitcoin in a multisig wallet and you don’t understand what a descriptor is and have redundant backups of your descriptor then it’s only a matter of time until you lose your Bitcoin.
