Maybe decoys. Keep the locks on them and say “hey my signers are in a sdb at the bank but you can have these.”

Random thoughts. It’s a challenge to be both hopeful and thankful. Many days it is easier just to be thankful. Hope seems kind of empty without a plan and the time to execute it. Almost like kidding oneself. How long can someone go without hoping and dreaming of “more”? More freedom. More sovereignty. More autonomy. #asknostr

Jack Spirko has some good episodes on composting that cover worm composting. Easy to kill them with the temps generated in a hot compost.

I was thinking of creative ways I could ensure the addresses get picked up and used by someone but knowing my luck, the addresses would end up showing up on some terrorist financing investigation linked to my KYC lol

I’m considering creative ways to use several sets of stamped seed plates that are now useless. Any ideas? #asknostr

After three years of growing beautiful tomato seedlings from seed I’ve finally recognized that regardless of pot size, tomatoes in open ground or very deep beds open to the earth will always outperform those in pots. They need way more legroom and temperature moderation in the root zone then even a very large pot can provide. Plus I’m certain that the actual connection to the Earth is part of the equation.  In year one, I got 80 pounds of tomatoes off seven plants that all reached almost 6 feet in height, in an open-bottomed 8’x4’ bed that currently holds my cucumber and squash trellises. This year the only tomato plant that is thriving is the one whose roots are free to go anywhere they like. The ones in pots, even very large 5 gallon containers, are visibly stressed the same as the ones in 3 gallon pots were last year. At first I thought it was a soil problem, but I’ve done everything right in that regard in these pots and they just don’t like it.  when these black pots get irradiated by sun all day, the temperature in the root zone can easily reach 80°F and it’s amazing how quickly they become root bound. I will still get some yield off of these but their big brother in the bed is going to put them to shame.  It’s all part of the process of working out the kinks in a small setting so that when we move to a space with some serious production capability, I’ll have figured many of these things out. On Sunday we are going to look at a nearly 6 acre partially forested place with animal corrals, fencing around the perimeter and loads of growing space. Lord willing, we will be building our vision for self sufficiency there. I just love growing things and doing these experiments a year at a time. #gardenstr #homesteading

I think it’s just the raw reiterative power of machines that caught it. Their competitors have been doing penetration tests on their Hardware for years and no one has ever cracked it. Humans just don’t have enough time 

River day

Our recent getaway with two of our best normie couple/friends was filled with laughs and we made some great memories. But I made a few comments during talks on the beach and around the fire about the importance of hard assets, transactional freedom, communications privacy, free speech and the whole fiat currency/melting ice cube thing, and was met a few times with the usual look as if I had two heads lol. “Like, why do you even think about this stuff?” I swear the same % of people that couldn’t see through the Covid lies are sleepwalking straight through the gates into the control grid without questioning a thing. Gosh I’m glad I found Nostr #grownostr

Hamilton absolutely blazing in Practice

I distinctly remember NVK saying on a podcast that their competitors, including Ledger, have spent huge sums penetration testing Cold Cards, to no avail. Something stinks about this whole deal.

I have some similar thoughts initially but this isn’t a protocol problem. It’s a lack of engineering rigour problem. 

Things that didn’t happen today that could have been issues but somehow weren’t: - laptop didn’t act up or have driver issues on a poorly timed “forced” Linux update right before the SHTF - didn’t get called in for a bullshit managers’ meeting - didn’t have any critical customer calls for 3-4 hours - didn’t have any node or network issues that would affect Electrs connectivity - didn’t have to answer for bailing off work for four hours to do techy shit, thanks to having my work phone (and its gaytarded, GPS’ed anti-human timekeeping digital leash app) in an SLNT faraday bag. Track this motherfuckers 🖕🏽 Today made me realize the gossamer threads that hold up the technological architecture that we use to store and transact value. Being your own bank is no joke. It struck me that our setups and redundancy plans are what really need to be antifragile. I see more hardware purchases in our futures. Nodes, file servers and storage. Mesh hardware. Satellite services. I hope computer parts prices come back to earth soon.

When I got into Bitcoin, I thought they meant this Rolls

Man I bet those fucks at chainalysis are gonna be data mining like a motherfucker over the next several weeks. 

I don’t know why anyone follows flash. Rage bait and stories often with no references. No thanks, that’s why I left X. This account gives these bullshit politicians’ mind control narratives, life. Don’t feed that wolf. Just my humble opinion.

I can’t stop thinking about what would’ve happened to my inheritance plan today if I had died at work, while my best efforts at a treasure map and a succession plan were being rendered useless while I was fighting a million other fires. What’s next? For a short time today I found myself questioning Bitcoin’s value proposition. But then I gave my head a shake. And decided not to be a bitch. I’m not playing with anything I wouldn’t intentionally burn to stick it to the banks anyway. #bitcoin

Many of the same thoughts. It feels like an op. But then again I’ve been brain damaged by 30+ years of cognitive dissonance from all sides. Fourth turning vibes these days. Caligula 2028

I don’t know why, but today when I was doing some critical, time sensitive things for hours on no sleep, I couldn’t stop thinking about a families escaping evil regimes and war torn countries, on foot for days, for far greater stakes. We are pretty blessed to even have the worries that today brought. Peace Nostr ✌🏽❤️

Well, I certainly know more about signers, entropy, passphrases and manual wallet recovery than I did 36 hours ago, the last time I slept. Can’t believe I didn’t make any mistakes. I can hardly see straight right now lol.

I’m glad I’m not having to call 50 marginally technical people this morning that I uncle Jim’ed into Bitcoin self custody over the past couple years. Grim.
