I see their blog says they’re working on a way to export keys if you want to move to a different wallet. That should be a requirement before they begin filling orders.

When I roll my own node in a VM, I prefer to use Bitcoin-Qt and Fulcrum in a live terminal window, rather than installing either or both as daemons.
I just like seeing the information and any issues in realtime without needing to check log files or use additional front-end software. Am I stupid?

Bundled node distros are great, but there’s just something about the simplicity of Bitcoin Core and Fulcrum SPV running on a plain Debian instance that just feels… right.

The muddy legal wake of Prime Trust imploding should worry you if you keep Bitcoin in a self-directed IRA.
Even if you hold the keys in a multisig setup, how sure are you that the protections extended to securities will apply to your stack if the IRA firm goes belly-up? Will you be able to transfer to a new firm without tax penalties if the current one folds?
All that uncertainty paid for with high onboarding and maintenance fees. Hard pass.

Bitcoin taught me how to plan for the future, and tolerate volatility in the meantime. Learning about, and tinkering with, the technology itself is a hobby that reaps benefits.
Gold taught me how to save for the now, diverting disposable income into a (relatively) stable-value asset, versus the things I otherwise would’ve wasted my money on.
Yes, the shiny yellow rock is inferior to Bitcoin in all technical aspects. But as with fixed income vs. equity allocations, sometimes you need a psychological anchor to stick to your plan.
And it is sticking. 😎 https://nostr.build/i/6c780b7ed6057f75f225ed49369df3b4680c7d9739ac5a9a314c835243fe38e6.jpg

Got a bunch of wallets with about 300ish UTXOs in total.
Loading them while connected to my old Kaby Lake PC running Fulcrum: 3 seconds, if that.
Loading them while connected to my Pi 4 running Electrs: Sparrow stalls out, BlueWallet still says “updating” after my phone’s screen goes to sleep.
Is it the hardware? The Electrum server software? The volume of data? All three? Is there a single thing that can be changed that would significantly improve things?

2023-06-01 09:51:10

Mullvad getting rid of port forwarding sucks balls, if you’re running both a node and Sparrow for CoinJoining on the same machine.

Yeah, it’s a great way to continue micro-stacking without leaving sats on an exchange or in LN (I don’t like keeping too much in a stateful system reliant on frequent backups).
