I'm sick of dealing with Nostr apps. I just don't have the energy to keep fucking with broken stuff. I'm stepping away for a while. I hope it improves and wish everyone the best. Peace and love. If anyone is interested in keeping in touch, Signal: matt17.76

I assume it's a standard because it works between the various tools I've used. I assume it's a standard for the psbt and then that data is stored in a QR or on an SD.

It does on my SeedSigner. You can go back and forth

QR or card are the only two I've ever seen. Trezor has Bluetooth but it isnt airgapped

Thanks for doing nothing! There, if you're being Matt today, I'm being Beave.

Yeah one of my big issues is that it's hard to have meaningful security when hardware and firmware is a black box.

Yeah I tend to take a fairly reasonable approach: sell an ad read. Cool. Where I have a problem is when a specific person tells me HW 1 is their favorite, the best, etc but then you hear that for three different wallets that have all existed for the same period. At that point they are selling their opinion, so I lose trust in them and just don't listen anymore. An ad read is selling your time on your podcast, not your opinion. That's where I draw the line anyway

This is what we did when I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. We also have them in the hospital. Critical if you freeze a lot of money

I get that. And I don't use it either. I have considered a special purpose machine running it though. Like for financial stuff. But honestly even something like Tails would probably be easier

Has anyone gotten Amethyst desktop to connect to Amber?

I almost deleted the email but it's legit. They're really sorry, so it's all good! https://trezor.io/blog/news/recent-customer-data-exposed-in-shipping-provider-incident

The YouTube algorithm just suggested a C++ documentary... No idea how I've ever been laid.

Is anyone thinking about ways to repurpose ColdCard hardware? I don't mean for security of Bitcoin. I think that ship has sailed, even if they aren't actually totally useless at that. So that aside, other uses.

One of my biggest issues with Bitkey is that if my phone and Bitkey device are destroyed in a house fire (who isnt keeping both at home, realistically?), I'm basically at the mercy of some emergency contact, if I set them up. I'm relying on these people to not get new phones or even understand the importance of what I'm asking of them. I just don't see the safety here. Maybe most people are storing their phone and Bitkey device separately (in ways they won't degrade or break) but I'm skeptical. Is it better than ColdCard was? Probably. But my fear is that all the podcasts are just doing the same shit all over again in a slightly different way. Bitkey! It's the best! It's the safest! Maybe this is fine for low sat holdings but I think Luke Broyles made some good points in his recent custody video.

Casa shit the bed on the account creation screen. Don't give a fuck to figure out which privacy tool is likely the culprit. VPN, Brave Shield, long random Bitwarden password, or SimpleLogin email address are usually the issue when this happens. If one or more of these are the issue, it isn't much of a security company. If it's just a technical issue on their end, still concerning given the product.

I love my wife very much. She's such a good woman. She doesn't even know my npub and will probably never see this.

One thing I'm disgruntled about with the US is that we are sold freedom but it's a lie. We have all the accountability that comes with freedom but few of the benefits and little power. I'm willing to accept the harder and riskier life for the opportunity to be free, but that isn't the trade anymore. Now I'm robbed at probably around the same rate as other nations in our class (all sources considered). I get none of the social benefits and still carry the harder life and all the risk that comes with it. I think the difference lies in who is subsidized. I'm not asking to be. I'm just asking for the opportunity and freedom I was supposed to get for all the shit on my shoulders. It's really no wonder the productive class is checking out here. Everything is broken, corrupt, and one sided.
