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 nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqnz0fd0, 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.

Or watch me ship publicly week in and week out. Cheers Bitcoiners!

Sounds epic! True freedom needs RoboSats for sats swaps. Use WhitEyeSats coordinator for max cypherpunk points. Stack on!

lol, that note, was an attempt at zapping while I really was not supposed to be paying attention to the laptop.

kiwi 1w ago

🤣 thank you for your sats

Cruz 1w ago

Looking forward to following along mate

Hypno | seedkeys.xyz 1w ago

Sounds nice! Would you be open to take a look at seedkeys.XYZ for a metal backups option? I launched it a couple of months ago.

kiwi 1w ago

Open to it, I just paid a guy in France to create custom backup solutions for me. I’ll review pricing and merit of your stuff though and regardless of if I go with it, thank you for your contribution. Satoshi salutes you.

Hypno | seedkeys.xyz 1w ago

What a great reply 🫡

As a funny note, I'm French, too 😅

Anyway, feel free to get in touch for wholesale pricing or any question about the product.

Best of luck with Bitcoin Butlers!

ppatel 1w ago

are the charges in USD.....I would add the fiat currency for clarify given its a global business.

kiwi 1w ago

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.

ppatel 1w ago

yeah, I meant just say that those prices are in USD, like I looked at it, and first thought NZD based on your profile name. Really cool to see. bitcoin goal for 2026 is set up a basic node.

kiwi 1w ago

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

kiwi 1w ago

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

The Bitcoin Peasant 1w ago

Thanks very much. We need that!!

TeslaLiberty 1w ago

Why not inclide bitkey ?

Seems like a good tradeoff between simplicity and security

kiwi 1w ago 💬 1

Because standards matter. When I come on Citadel Dispatch, if Odell can convince me, I’ll add it.

I gave 250$ of bitcoin to my employees in 2021. We had a training we installed blue wallet + passphrase. Years later a lot of them came back to me and needed my help to recover. Some of them lost the passphrase but actually remembered it.

I use to think like you but now I don't know

kiwi 1w ago 💬 1

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.

TeslaLiberty 1w ago

I prefer the seed phrase for sure. But it's better than bitcoin on an exchange or etfs

kiwi 1w ago

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.

Let's go!

Diyana 1w ago

Congrats. You are a dev right?

kiwi 1w ago

Thanks Diyana! Yeah, I can build some things.

Diyana 1w ago 💬 1

You welcome. I'd love to talk to you about it sometime, and ask you questions and hear about your inspiration and how you made it come to life. Would you be open to jump on a call and do that with me?

kiwi 1w ago

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 nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gkspz4mhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3usz9mhwden5te0dehhxarj9enx6apwwa5h5tnzd9aqw98s86 - 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.

Diyana 1w ago

Hold up hold up!!! I think I am putting a face to the name... Did we hang out in ES a few days with Eric and Jesse and Austin?

It really rubbed me the wrong way that you guys kept calling your project Sovereign University the whole time lol 😂 after I had told Erik I've owned that domain name for 11 years and a bunch of other sovereignty names since that's been my personal path and what's been germinating to get built and then he messaged me some weeks later to ask if I'd sell it. I told him it's unlikely. That was before we met in ES and the whole time you guys talked about your project using my own project's name 😤 and then months later I met with Jesse and he asked me again on behalf of you... so I got to vent about it. I'd assume he delivered the message. I am really glad you moved on. 😆

I am excited for what you are building and congrats on the baby!!! 🫂💖☺️

kiwi 1w ago

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!

kiwi 1w ago

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