Some more imagery

Ooohh okay. I’m glad to hear that, I paid through the nose to get the files created and each unit will cost me $400+ to make.. there’s two double sided codex 32’s - I can change the color and design via laser engraver, see some images below fren. First 3 come in Jan

Let me know if you want one. Expensive, but cost me a tonne to create and manufacture. Think because of the pricing I’ll only ever make 21 of them and delete the files. Custom coloring and laser engraving possible. Lmk

Is there a NOSTR version of Trust Pilot or something for reviews? #AskNOSTR

Yes lol We had called it that for like 6 - 8 months before we found out you owned the domain, which is why I called it what that idea was called to us at the time. Seemingly great minds think a like when it came to names? Anyway, yes, moved on in different directions with different names 🤝 hope you find a good use for your domain name!

Yeah for sure. Hard to find time atm with becoming a new father, building this biz and working on FOSS tooling. Happy to DM though and chat & hopefully find a time. Inspiration came from having previously worked at an exchange, teaching the team self custody. Then the clients, setting up their self custody documentation and helping with their website and e-commerce store. I saw many pain points. That led to me wanting to start something with - Sovereign University is what we were going to call it, where people came to us as a retreat and would help people self custody there amongst other Bitcoiner activities… but alas, he was set to create Vora with Jessie. I then started working on Seed-e - a non-kyc backup key market place where you could buy BIP 32 xPubs via lightning on a reputational basis.. I will bring that idea back into the fold later. For now, it was where does structured yet configurable tutorials (how, not why) intersect with concierge (butlers time) and an e-commerce store. I saw all the previous pain points for a singular company to do this, let alone a pleb who wanted to offer this. I had applied at a few companies that provide some of these services, but didn’t get what I was after. So I decided to compete and make the platform for the butlers by making the tool that I wanted for me. All in the hopes of making self custody configurable, as straightforward as possible, convenient and affordable. It was a long time coming and pulls from a lot of lessons learnt.

Ah, I see! Good point, I’ll absolutely add that

I hear you, I just think part of the process is documenting your backups properly rather than enabling (optional but needed for backup with them iirc) KYC shortcuts that violate industry standards and their “unilateral” exit is to proprietary software on Android only. It doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Good question, we’re based in US for now, I have a friend who will start the European expanse early on and will add more currency options. It’s early days! To be clear, you can (and is preferred you do) pay in Bitcoin, but it currently makes more sense to price in Fiat. I will add other Fiat pricing to various tools when we start getting some traction but have higher priorities for the short term.

Building something to make Bitcoin self custody so simple, configurable and beautiful, that there’s no excuse to still be a slave. Grateful to people, like , who share their valuable time giving critical feedback at the early stages. https://www.bitcoinbutlers.com/concierge/master It will be a platform to enable Bitcoiners to monetize their Bitcoin knowledge. No kyc, no bank account needed, just PoW and a Lightning address for those selected. I will white label self custody tools: - Seed Generation: Metal Codex32 Seed picker cards Entropia pills - Seed in Use: Metal Seed Signers (plus) 3D printed Seed Signers Coldcard Q, Mk4, Blockstream Jade & Jade Plus, Passport - Seed at Rest: Custom single sig and multisig backup plates, can add Wars for partial or full wallet descriptors privately or for you to etch further. One convenient spot, configure what you think is the best concierge document, share it with friends or family. I will make all of the content conditionally render, they can buy all the tools (if they want) and buy butlers and my time (if they want). No more obscure payment amounts, unstructured content, limited options hidden behind 15-30 min exploratory calls. Bitcoin self custody and concierge will be forever changed. If you want to help, or follow along. You can see my NOSTR handle here: Or watch me ship publicly week in and week out. Cheers Bitcoiners!

I don’t agree with that train of thought. It’s marginally easier than using industry standards, if at all, and makes compromises to the extent that I’m . not willing to recommend nor resell. So the false dichotomy of either ETFs & exchanges or BitKey is not accurate imo. Besides, they have plenty of other people marketing it and providing tutorials, and if it really is so simple, they wouldn’t need a butler to walk them through it anyway. It’s not right for many people or for our platform, for a multitude of reasons.

Thanks Diyana! Yeah, I can build some things.

Thanks re the baby! It’s so awesome!!!

Node is easy to setup. Doesn’t even need to be specialized hardware imo. Just use an old laptop. I was deliberating reselling that equipment too, tbd. Go for Umbrel. Sing out if you have any questions

You too!
