It seems that the term "woke" has become a catch-all phrase that's tossed around with abandon in today's cultural discussions. It's as if the moment a piece of media dares to step outside the most conventional boundaries, it's slapped with the "woke" label. The irony is that this term, which originally signified awareness and sensitivity to social issues, has been co-opted into a sort of dismissive eye-roll. It's curious how, not so long ago, the stories we celebrated were praised for their innovation and depth, without the need for such labels. Characters were embraced for their complexity and narratives were enjoyed for their richness, without the cacophony of "woke" cries in the background. It's a peculiar shift that seems to reflect less on the media itself and more on the lens through which we view it. Perhaps it's time to retire the overuse of "woke" and return to appreciating storytelling for the art that it is. After all, isn't the point of art to challenge, reflect, and inspire, rather than fit neatly into pre-labeled boxes?

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. The Shamir Secret Sharing, is entirely open-source and offers versatility by allowing integration with passphrases and multisig configurations as needed. For instance, one can restore a Shamir Backup using Electrum, not just Trezor.
My preference for Shamir Backup over multisig is due to its operation at the wallet level, ensuring the security of all assets within, not limited to Bitcoin, whereas multisig typically secures only Bitcoin transactions. While combining both is possible to enhance key management strategies, it is not a common practice.
Many of the people that consult me hold various digital assets (ugh yes but I don't judge), which are also protected by Shamir's method. The choice to exclusively use Satoshilabs as a wallet provider is based on their established reputation as pioneers in hardware wallets and pooled mining. Although minor vulnerabilities exist that may necessitate wallet recovery, a simple factory reset can address these issues and curb hasty financial decisions.
Shamir Backup is favored for its straightforward approach to digital legacy planning, allowing each family member to possess a unique key, with an additional key safeguarded by a legal professional.

Looks very nice! 😍 🛒 One question though, is the seedsafe compatible with the SSS wallets created by the Trezor wallet? The Shamir Split Seed uses 20 or 33 words.
Whenever I guide people to create their own wallet I always recommend using the Shamir Backup on the Trezor as it is the easiest and safest way to store your bitcoin. A compromise of a single key 🗝 won't result in theft or loss of your coins.

Check out a doctor,don't rely on advice on #Nostr. Peripheral cyanosis is when your hands, fingertips, or feet turn blue due to a lack of oxygen-rich blood. Some causes include Raynaud's disease, cardiovascular problems, and hypothermia. All organs and tissues need oxygen to function. A person's body absorbs oxygen from the air that they breathe.
It's important to find out the cause because it may need quick treatment to prevent permanent injury.

Today marks a significant milestone as I announce my retirement. Over a decade ago, I embarked on an adventure with #Bitcoin ATMs, a journey that began with its fair share of challenges. My experience as an operator was fraught with difficulties, dealing with manufacturers who failed to meet expectations in delivery, stability, and features. This led me to join the team at generalbytes.com, which at the time was a small but ambitious group. Our goal was clear: to establish the company as the premier Bitcoin ATM platform by providing the best features at the most competitive prices.
Through dedication and innovation, we have expanded globally, boasting over 11,000 installed machines, claiming more than 30 percent of the market share, and growing our team to over 60 employees. Today, GENERAL BYTES stands as the leading #BitcoinATM manufacturer in the industry.
As I transition into retirement, I look forward to cherishing moments with family and friends, embracing a period of relaxation that has been long overdue—save for a memorable week spent in California in the mid-2000s. The adjustment to a slower pace of life will be new to me, but it's a change I welcome with open arms and a hint of humor.
The plan for my immediate future involves indulging in the vast array of entertainment that Netflix has to offer. Once I've explored the depths of its library, I'll turn my attention to seeking new ventures that will contribute to the enhancement and fortification of Bitcoin.
I am always on the lookout for fresh challenges and innovative ideas, so feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments—I thrive on engaging with creative minds.
Below, I've shared some charts that illustrate the remarkable growth of GENERAL BYTES. Reflecting on these achievements fills me with a sense of pride, and I am grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary journey.
The mission I set out to accomplish has been fulfilled, and I step back with a sense of completion and anticipation for what the future holds.

Ah, I see. So the Boox essentially functions as an e-reader with the added capability to run Android apps, which is quite impressive.
I'm more in the market for a phone equipped with an e-ink display that can serve as a secondary e-reader device during leisure time by the pool. I already have two standard phones, a tablet, and an e-reader but my experience with the Kobo H2O reader has taught me that it's excellent for aquatic environments, but not against the harsher chemicals found in hot tubs, it highlighted the limits of water-resistant technology and am therefore currently looking for a new reader. 😂 🤣 To reduce the number of devices I need to charge, an e-reader with mobile radio and two SIM slots would be best for me. The search continues.

I'm not a home drinker, but sometimes I treat myself to a yummy espresso Martini. 🍸
Here's how I make it: I shake some ice, 50ml vodka, 40ml coffee liqueur, 15ml of vanilla infused simple syrup, and a shot of espresso in a cocktail shaker, then strain it into a chilled glass. Voilà, the perfect drink to perk me up! ☕
Don't forget to garnish with three coffee beans! Tradition holds that these three beans represent health, wealth and happiness.

#Portugal 🇵🇹 has changed its #tax policy for #Bitcoin enthusiasts and it is not good news 😢. The country used to be a tax-friendly jurisdiction for crypto investors, but now it is imposing capital gains tax and even an exit tax on them 😱. This means that if someone wants to leave Portugal and move their crypto assets to another country, they will have to pay a hefty tax on them 💸. This has discouraged many people from investing in Portugal's economy and some have decided to pack their bags and leave 🛫. One of them said: "I'm deleting the Idealista app from my phone because I don't want to put any more money into this country. I'm leaving, goodbye bitches!" 😡 #taxationistheft

Instead of 'running a node' becoming a hobby in itself, I suggest installing a distro like @npub1agh…mhct to make it a lot easier to set-up and be able to install other apps like #mempool, #electrum, #Nostr relay, and many others.
Tip: don't install on a raspberry pi but use a fanless industrial PC with a large SSD instead. If cost is not an option, they also sell pre-installed umbrel nodes but otherwise install #Ubuntu Linux on it, then install umbrel. This way you'll have enough space to run the other cool 😎 apps from the umbrel app store without running into performance issues. #bitcoin #node

I'm a fan of Breez because it lets me control my own funds and connect to my own node. However, it doesn't support LN Addresses, which I need to link to my Nostr profile. That's why I use GetAlby for that purpose, but I hope Breez will add LN Addresses soon.
I also appreciate that Breez has a simple backup option with Google drive.
I don't really care about LN Zaps, but I tried it out of curiosity. I don't think sending tiny dust transactions helps bitcoin adoption, but it's a fun feature anyway.

I use https://breez.technology/ Breez wallet as my lightning wallet of choice. For the LN Address sats on Nostr I use Alby but because that's custodial (custodial is 🤮) I occasionally send those sats to my breez wallet for longtime storage.

Just download the file from my site at https://m.rtijn.info/.well-known/nostr.json and between the quotes under names you type max
This is the part before the @ sign. Because I'm @m.rtijn.info, there is nothing there but you want max so put max between the quotes.
The hex code you replace with:
b7ed68b062de6b4a12e51fd5285c1e1e0ed0e5128cda93ab11b4150b55ed32fc
This is the hex of your npub. The one in the file is the hex of my npub so you'll need to replace it with the one listed above.
Create a directory on your website server root folder called .well-known and upload your new nostr file in it. You should be good to go. You can verify by going to https://towardsliberty.com/.well-known/nostr.json and it should display the file in your browser. It might take some time for clients to catch up (caching)
