Oof. Managed to claim back most of my ecash! ☺️ I had to use @cashu/cashu-ts on my laptop to decode the big token, use JS to split it into individual json blocks and re encode. Some of the tokens (including the biggest ones) were recovered, others were already spent. I wonder if it's worth making a "recover from token" feature or if this should just be standard practice. Maybe it can be called "sweep recover from token" or something. Is this a good idea?

I assume you have watched towers setup. 🙂

I'm managing to recover some sats by keeping the minibits wallet offline and then copying "outputs" from my transaction history. I have a big one, if SOME of those tokens were spent but I reckon most is not, is there a way to recover whatever partial is left from the output?

Sadness. Lost a whole bunch of ecash. Kinda bummed, got paid via a lightning address, payments kept failing, and then the wallet stopped responding. Now all tokens spent apparently.

This is amazing work. I would however like to learn more about the tradeoffs when using blinded signing vs not, and what can and cannot be validated using zero knowledge proofs. If with ZKP, an unprivelleged signer can validate policy rules and sign for a transaction without seeing the transaction itself, then why even use non-blinded signing?

And here I thought that they were going to integrate nostr into rumble and also found a bit weird that it was announced on X and not on nostr.

No no. Statistics don't care that sinners made them to gaslight people. There is no way these shitcoins had more economic activity than bitcoin, they just had a lot of gambling and scamming. Plus it's almost guaranteed that you can't measure economic activity the same way across these products so it's just best guesses made by someone trying to push an agenda. But that's just me, I don't know.

Maybe this will grow enough to gradually funnel a mass of people to Nostr with nowhere else to turn to... Including eventually bluesky and Mastadon. AFAIK, Nostr relays have a certain anonymity and flippant arrogance about them that I think Mastodon and bluesky never will. Especially in light of how we already have onion relays and clients that natively support them. Compell them to shutdown or block IPs! I think this has the power to motivate people to shop around.

This is super insightful. 🙏

#asknostr What is the best tool for recovering crash from seed words? I find minibits to be a long and manual process as it makes you scan multiple times usually. I'm hoping there's a good web wallet that automates ecash recovery.

The only mark(s) on their brand are: 1. AFAIK, they have suffered a data leak similar to Ledger. 2. They insist on supporting other cryptos. Both are just things for a customer to consider before deciding to make a purchase. The only other thing is that after watching this video, it felt like they made a premium product with a heart disease. Beyond being hard to crack, it is also hard to break or damage, but any attempt to tamper and it is broken anyway. Feels pointless to make an expendable product premium.

Why? Enabling potentially high throughput applications over a low bandwidth transport layer feels like bad news.

Bruh, not cool. Be toxic to the scammers, not to the victims. I'm glad this guy is unlikely to see this response, but even having this type of attitude in private stinks.

Wait, I use citrine as well. On android. Do I have a tor address? Can I test this myself?

How exactly did anyone think this was a palintir ad?

Wait... Now I can't access goat videos?!??

Where can I read factual, from the source definitions of what digital ID is and is not and what constraints are there and how the constraints will upheld etc. I know by experience that this is bad, but I need evidential sources to back up my expectations.
