nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Jade has been my go-to single-sig device for years. Solid enough, minor UX gripes, nothing major. But after watching Adam Back’s stance on the op_return debate, I’m done buying Blockstream products. I’ll be sticking with my Keystone (Bitcoin-only firmware), which frankly leaves Jade in the dust anyway.

Glad I never touched nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en and won’t in the future. Even if they pivot (and they eventually will), I’ve got a long memory and don’t compromise on who I support or boycott. Downplaying the importance of spam issue isn’t just bad optics - it’s arrogance, blindness to second-order effects, or outright malice.

On the flip side, I’ll keep backing companies like nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll who took the right side of this fight long before it was safe to say it. Their servers are what I’ll be recommending to friends and family.

With Knots adoption already nearing 20% of the network, any Bitcoin company doubling down on spam-apologist behavior is playing with fire - it’s likely to be a costly marketing move. FAFO
