Tell All the People What You See (Bench Continuum)

Whip It Out Wednesday (WOW)

I think whomever is president in each election for as long as the process continues should on national TV read out loud the constitution and what it means from their own perspective. Just a reading. The Constitution, spoken aloud, by the person who swore to uphold it—with their own interpretation laid bare for the nation to hear.

Tiny tweak. I let the empty sign sit for a moment before the title appears. Sometimes the pause says as much as the words.

A workflow some people choose is: Generate entropy using a method they trust (for example, physical dice or another independently verifiable process). Derive the BIP-39 mnemonic from that entropy. Import the mnemonic into a hardware wallet. From then on, let the hardware wallet protect the private keys and sign transactions. In that workflow, the hardware wallet never generated the original seed—it simply becomes the secure signing device.

No Time for Toxic Riders

Matt, There's an important distinction between: recommending a product in good faith based on the information available at the time, and being responsible for an undiscovered engineering flaw inside that product. Those aren't the same thing. If someone knowingly ignores a published vulnerability and continues recommending it without mentioning the risk, that's one situation. But if a flaw is genuinely unknown to the community—including reviewers, users, and many experts—then it's hard to say that every person who ever recommended the product bears personal responsibility for the bug. I can also understand why you feel bad. If you've spent years helping people with self-custody, and then a significant vulnerability is disclosed in a wallet you recommended, it's natural to think: "Did I steer someone into harm's way?" That emotional response is understandable. But it doesn't automatically mean you was negligent.
