Exactly. We don't need "No Kings", we need to all rise to be sovereigns in our own realms, Kings of our own Kingdoms. This is why I'm calling my latest collection of projects "Rebuilding Camelot".

Only Strong Families, ruled by strong self-sovereign leaders who themselves 'bend the knee' only to higher power, will rebuild goods times for us all.

That's right, ALL they manage to create in a lifetime that can be transmitted to future generations is cow dung huts with thatched roofs and maybe a well, IF they're lucky they don't have to transport it in buckets very far. They still must produce ALL of their essential daily consumable needs themselves, food, clothing, water, tools, clothes, etc.

They knowledge only passes on in limited capacity, they don't accumulate much wealth to pass on, and their entire neighborhood is pigeonholed into multi-generational poverty. You are literally wishing to devolve society.

I'm not saying society as it stands is healthy. It is obviously corrupted, broken, and needing an upgrade. Life is hard. None of us deserve anything we don't earn for ourselves. No one is coming to save anyone. Being a Man, not a man-boy, means accepting this burden as a challenge to be risen to, not to be whined about.

Save yourself. Make yourself useful to your peers. Contribute value and be grateful for the opportunity to do so. This is how mature men behave.

Being of service in the marketplace is how one earns the money to purchase all of that. That's what marketplaces are for.

You don't 'have to' play societies games if you're prepared to:

-grow, harvest, preserve, and prepare your own food

-build your own shelter out of raw materials with tools made yourself out of raw materials

-craft your own clothes out of raw materials with hand crafted tools

-teach yourself how to do all these things

How exhausted would you be then..?

Society does all this for us so everyone doesn't have to start from scratch in every generation.

Perhaps, what you need is some gratitude and to realize that service to others is the highest of callings. You might not be so sick of society, instead happily contributing to it...

Check your DMs, I've sent you resources that enable this in a far more secure manner than normal NFC tags can do. Also, sharing what I'm building to solve these same issues.

She's obviously ignorant of both history and the present!

Hawaii actually had its sovereign government overthrown in large part by businesses like Dole, who didn't want to pay tariffs on bananas and pineapples. They are currently doing exactly that right now and are not being hit with these current tariffs.

I am still interested in feedback on the tool from more experienced Devs, search for it and check it out yourself. My deep research through Perplexity suggested this as the most state of the art security auditing tool for our apps. As a new vibe-code I don't know what I don't know and don't have the funds to pay professional Devs to help audit my code for weaknesses I'm not qualified to assess.

I do know enough to not trust myself, any AI coding agent, or platforms like that one, without multiple experiences Devs also confirming the coding is secure. I'm building something that manges both identity and LN/eCash credentials, so am waiting to use it with actual private keys/Nsecs until it's been more thoroughly assessed.

I have implemented a privacy-first protocol that creates unique user IDs rather than storing anyone's Npubs or NIP05 IDs. For initial deployment I'm using Supabase I don't want to trust them with anything that may Dox anyone. I believe my handling of Nostr credentials is rock solid, but am far less certain about LN and eCash integrations in my codebase.

As a rule I think we should all assume at all times that IF it can be hacked, it eventually will be.

Where do you get that idea... This is a security audit tool I have no affiliation with and am legitimately looking for feedback from a more experienced Dev. As the topic here IS security auditing, your accusation of 'spam' is unfounded!

I'm about to sign up for a free trial of this security auditing platform. Would love your thoughts on it, https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarqube/advanced-security/free-trial/

Also, check your DMs for the links to my GitHub repo and AI vibe-coding hack entry, as well as some info on using 424 Ntag NFCs. I look forward to getting your feedback, few others see what we see and your perspective on what I'm building I expect to be more informed and useful than almost anyone else.

These are the same NFC tags as used for the Boltcard wallets. I believe these make the ideal Nostr event tap-2-sign solution possible, that should also be able to provide tap-2-pay with LN, or even eCash, too.

Using a pin protected 424 Ntag NFC sticker/card provides far superior security and user experience. Functionally the same as my security badge/pin # that was necessary for me to gain ramp entry when I worked as a ramp agent for United Airlines. My photo on the badge was all the biometric verification needed, but that wasn't essential for access control.

Biometrics are bad security measures, providing a false sense of security trading convenience for real security. Something you are cannot be changed, just ask anyone who's had their SSN exposed how bad that experience can be. This has the same lack of key rotation problem that our Nostr Nsecs do, only worse, as your fingerprints don't even need you to be conscious or alive for a physical attack to succeed in stealing your sats.

Biometrics can be hacked and can never be changed. These are NOT secure sign on solutions. You can be unconscious or a corpse and your device can still be hacked. Like your Social Security Number, if/when your biometric data gets leaked to the dark web there's nothing can do about it.

It's FAR more secure to simply use MFA that requires both something you know AND something you have. The something you have prevents online hacks and the something you know prevents physical hacking of your accounts.

I read the Federal Mafie in 1991, chose to become a 'War Tax Resistor's, began boycotting banks and debt then, and have worked entirely in the cash economy ever since. I'd nearly died at 9yrs of age and wasn't gonna trade my blood, sweat, and creativity for what others print out of thin air and charge us for the privilege of doing so for us. Having already discovered the fundamentally immoral nature of fractional reserve banking two years before, I was primed to make this decision. I spent the next 22 yrs waiting to discover Bitcoin, living entirely in the moment without any hope for ever escaping the fiat plantation.

This personal history now drives me to spend every waking moment to create lasting value in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Only this year have I finally found a way to build what I see we all need. Vibe-coding has finally allowed me to become a true CypherPunk, I'm now writing code daily and can't wait to share what I'm building with the world.

No matter how much I may ever earn, or the sacrifices it may cost me, I will never pay taxes, take out a mortgage, finance a car, or use credit cards. Thanks to Bitcoin those sacrifices are less of an issue than they've ever been. I am more free, control more of my time, and have more hope than anyone I know. Few will ever climb the mountaintops I now reside on, but I don't need the company of serfs, only my Bitcoiner tribe distributed all around the world.

These true peers are who I'm called to serve. If you're seeing this message, you are likely one of them...

I'm working on a plan to integrate the Ntag424 NFC chips to create a pin protected Nostr event signer. There's room on those chips to also have them sign LN transactions and/or eCash payments. I think the Bolt wallet app can likely be forked to make a combo tap-2-sign/pay MFA solution. Think Yubikey for Nostr and LN.

This enables brings us something we have/something we know levels of state of the art security. I know all this is possible, just need to work it out.

Same here!

Moving fast often breaks things. Not really knowing what we're doing has risks, and often consequences.

Then you either are not operating from inside the US, or trying to do anything the centralized overlords don't approve of...

I rarely bother, but, the fact is US persons are undesirable peers in many international playgrounds. Because they don't want to have to deal with our overbearing Nanny-State.

For instance, lnmarkets.com

Not that I'm suggesting anyone gamble there, but it can also be used with 'covered short' hedge positions using leverage carefully to minimize the sats trusted to their custody.

I'm less concerned about China than the US overlords managing their fiat slave camps. I also only use the VPN to access content the US firewalls won't let me use. I've also been burned by the paid VPN service that I tested on Protonmail, cancelled, and when they continued to charge for services I didn't want to use, the locked me out of all my email accounts there.

So, yes I am VERY aware of all the risks we face when trying to freely navigate online services beyond government data firewalls.

Are YOU using fiat rails to pay for your VPN?

If using LN payment rails are you routing payments through your node directly, without using a prophylactic node to protect your IP address and identity?

Can you confirm they don't log and won't share your activity through them? Does anyone even care if they're just trying to access porn sites as those captive Frenchmen are?

Can you be certain they will cancel billing you for access to their sandbox?

Or be sure they won't someday decide to deplatform you for whatever reason they choose?

I've pivoted this idea to a family focused sovereign knowledge management system now. Vibe-coding my vision into reality, looking forward to launching a beta version in '2-weeks'.

I'm combining a fork of Amethyst with the Breez SDK, adding Fedimint signing/transacting, Zap streamed video (w/Zapped boosts and zap-streamed pay-as-consumed content), and Vida.io voice AI tutors. Am so focused and excited I'm now promoting AI agents in my dream state! This Dynastic.me client is gonna be so powerful, I can't wait to launch it into the wild...

Don't people know that the Opera browser has a free VPN built in...? No payments nor registrations required.

As he admitted, he effectively came out of a time capsule. It's not like he can be expected to know any better. It's gonna take time for Ross to become de-institutionalized and learn for himself that there is no 2nd best.

Many of us once thought there was a place for at least a few of the alt-coins. Experience teaches hard lessons that must be acquired oneself.

This is exactly why I'm working to build a Nostr credentialed Learning Management System to empower families to self-custody their intellectual capital. It's not who you know that matters, it's who knows what you know that matters. Proof of Knowledge is coming soon...

nostr:nprofile1qqsx2t2c4jh6zpd0s36upl5q9xjjulwmcvmm90vunza30gg3m3xducqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0ga3lev I am curious as to your thoughts on this. Are you familiar with Bau Biology? It's a German school of thought that has some powerful insights worth looking into. I have been applying their concept of our house as our '3rd skin', to treating the property line as the '4th skin' of a Macro-biome.

Also, I'm applying 'Pattern Language Design' from Christopy Alexander to scale down Bucky Fuller's idea of a 'World Game' to more of a 'Dynastic Family Wealth Game'. One that stacks an entire vertical of essential daily needs for our families in order to create a resilient enduring legacy. i.e. Private Family Citadels. Our homes can only become living centers by treating them as growing ecosystems, not merely dead boxes we reside in.

This design is the basic cellular unit of a scalable pattern with infinite variations. Laying out these patterns on a Pentagonal grid will also take advantage of the Phi ratio, Fibonacci ratio, mirroring the pattern layout nature uses.
