While in Nashville, I had the privilege of meeting nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0pyt0kr in person and expressing my deep and sincere appreciation for the work he and his team have done and continue to do on the spectacular air-gapped signing device.🙏🏻😀💜🫂💖😆🚀🎇
Some of the VERY BEST proof of work at bitcoin2024 was on display in a relatively small corner of the vast exhibit hall.
Space was reserved, and (as I best understand it) donated to open-sourced projects supporting the bitcoin ecosystem.
I'll be sharing some of those projects, along with a few photos and my opinions, in upcoming notes about the conference(s).😃
Did you eventually get the art working on Saturday?
Sorry I couldn’t help, the secret service wouldn’t let me take my laptop in 😅
Sorry for the delayed response; I think you're thinking of the guy in the photo (Rebel) working with BenArc, not me?🤔
I don't know for sure if he got it working, but I'd be surprised if he didn't; Ben's such a great guy, and very kindly persistent.🙏🏻😆💖
PS: I'm thankful for you, too. It was good meeting you at the show, and I hope we'll be able to have some online conversations as well.🙏🏻😆
I usually take a billion photos of everything, so i can't believe this is the *only* shot I got at the SeedSigner booth.🤔🧐😮
Maybe it was because I was having such a good time chatting with the man who came up with the SeedSigner architecture?😆 (NOTE: He's right here on nostr). nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uwarz0u has created a brilliant tool that DOESN'T do a lot of things.
The SeedSigner *doesn't* connect to the internet. It doesn't store your bitcoin private keys. It doesn't cost a fortune, or hide any secrets of how it works. It doesn't take an expert to build it at home from off-the-shelf parts (I've built three so far). And it *doesn't* store your private keys in some device or memory or format that's questionably secure. In fact, it doesn't store your private keys at all! When you disconnect the power, your private keys disappear with the vanishing electricity.
What DOES this amazing device do? I'll let you explore that for yourself at https://SeedSigner.com , but I will say I've been blown away by how easy it is to use and how capably it secures my bitcoin.
I was blessed by my brief visit with nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uwarz0u . He's still learning and inventing, and is a keen observer of the world of bitcoin. We tried exchanging Cashu tokens, but perhaps our eCash wallets weren't quite in tune?🤔
Prolific SeedSigner dev Keith Mukai was also at the booth, but I missed my chance to chat with him... Shoutout to nostr:nprofile1qqs9kr5d5m7lhfnrqwrfpvmay9kcx3dxy0xr8cg34lg0ww8dw7ftc4qprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyt8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndd9kx7afwd3hkctc0axsam, and thanks for all you're doing.🙏🏻
I've even heard rumors that the SeedSigner might one day support signing "notes and other stuff."
