My wife will occasionally offer something similar for my Birthday. My favorite “complex” meal is usually a savory pie of some kind. I especially love hand pies, like a curry chicken and butternut squash/leek combination. It’s just so much work that I hate asking for it.

SeedSigner v0.8.5 has reproducible builds from source. This means sole trust in SeedSigner the person (or any other SeedSigner contributors) isn’t needed for the image that most people run on thier SeedSigner. This trust can be distributed through others attesting they to can produce the same image byte for byte.
If you have docker installed, a few hours of CPU cycles available, then you too can contribute and attest that all 4 device images built from source match the released binaries.
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner-os.git

RHR (and many other pods) unfortunately get turned off when my kids are around mainly because of profanity. Mostly an issue in the car. In the house I wear earbuds.

“Most secure” will greatly depend on configuration in addition to the hardware/software of the router. Usually dedicated routing devices like pfsense will have better security/reliability features over something like a netgear/d-link router. I’m a big fan of ubiquity/UniFi but it’s a bit like getting into the apple ecosystem for routers/wifi/network equipment.

Culturally around me, I see a cultural shift where folks actually feel relieved to be diagnosed as diabetic or pre-diabetic. They desire affirmation that their health issues are beyond the their control. Wanting a way to explain to family and friends why they are overweight. Doctors are also incentivized to give out these diagnoses based on lab results slightly outside normal ranges and prescribe medications. It’s not a great direction for humanity.

@npub1qny…95gx in the most recent @npub10ut…xdlq you spend a few minutes addressing accusations regarding your integrity around simultaneously supporting @npub17ty…3mgl and having a vested financial interest in the success of Cold Card. You said the SeedSigner project is “incredibly important” but continue in the same breath to deny they are competitors and described SeedSigner as only reasonable to be used as a fallback if we lived in a world where devices like Cold Card don’t exist. Far from an endorsement.
You have historically supported the SeedSigner project and I appreciate the support. There’s 100+ ways the SeedSigner project could be better. Your most notable grievance of SeedSigner seems to be solely focused on physical security attributes when comparing the two air gapped Bitcoin signing devices. Specifically you don’t like that SeedSigner doesn’t have a secure element.
Secure elements are great tech, but you never cover the actual trade offs on RHR. You gloss over how Cold Card is verifying firmware at boot on behalf of the user. You don’t discuss the trade offs at all. The verification of firmware at boot on a Cold Card requires trust in Coinkite. The user isn’t verifying, Coinkite is. You also make it sound like it’s an impossible task to verify firmware for SeedSigner.
IMO you’re getting sucked into stupid polarizing debates around Cold Card vs SeedSigner. I think Cold Card and SeedSigner are both great in their own ways. They make different trade offs and actually complement each other really well in a multisig setup with Sparrow Wallet. I personally have no issue with you recommending a Cold Card over a SeedSigner if you prefer the trade offs. Totally reasonable if you asked me. It’s way more important people self custody Bitcoin using cold storage.

Interesting incentives to think through.
I would have a hard time knowing if my nsec leaked unless someone straight up started posting/signing notes that gained attention from others.

IMO the issue isn’t ecash zaps. It’s how will nostr users identify trustworthy mints without everyone just consolidating to a small handful of custodial mints. We’ll come full circle.

You probably already know this, but LN implementations need improvements to provide real privacy gains for receiving sats. For example I can look at these 3 addresses and in seconds have a good guess about what node stack/implementations you’re using for each and even see UTXO history in same cases.
1) Phoenix Wallet bolt12
2) bolt12 CLN on startOS w/ an announced channel w/ visible on chain UTXO history.
3) BTCPay LNURL with LND? … maybe the same startOS server. Again with an announced channel w/ visible on chain history.

The config experimental-onion-messages maybe?

I think I figured out my bolt12 offer includes my node pubkey. Now I need to figure out if I can create an offer in CLN that includes a blinded path? Lots to learn.

This contradicts what I’m seeing.
Seems like my offer/invoice from CLN doesn’t include blinded routes?
@npub1tr4…2y5g have you figured out if CLN has blinded routes by default for bolt12 offers/invoices?
When I pay a bolt12 from CLN using Phoenix wallet, I can see my CLN node pubkey in the Phoenix app.
