GM NOSTRVerse. Hope all is well and your coffee is warm. For a laugh, I want to share something. I just created a backup security key for a new app I’m running and when I looked at it before storing, the key has the word GaY in it. 😂😂😂😂

Love all you guys and gals here and gonna beat everyone else to the punch. I’m thankful for each of you this Thanksgiving for what you’ve shared with me, taught to me, and allowed me to share with you. Have a blessed day, be kind to your family that’s never listens to you about ₿itcoin, and stay humble and keep stacking.🫂

No problem! Im working on little guides like this on my website BTCforPlebs.com

To be clear, I am speaking truth, but sometimes there is "secure enough". If you strive to only ever use the best security you can find, you would become paralised and would never secure what you needed to secure.

If you apply security beyond your own understanding, there is a good chance you could compromise the security or end up in a situation where you can't figure out how to get access to your protected thing because it is too secure for you.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

You can.

Just generate your own keys with entropy and use a seedsigner

Thanks my friend, mean what nostr? App name is Damus ? Whats mean nostr pls ?

Any device or software that you use to create, store and/or secure your keys has full access to your keys.

Anyone's best bet against falling victim is to use open hardware and open software that can be audited and signed.

This would mean even the Coinkite hardware is untrustable.

Good morning

Hi evryone . Where we are ? Yep its my first post 😅

#introductions

true story and this is why we don't ledger

No commercial signing device.

Seedsigner

Bitkey is pretty simplified. The tradeoff:

1. They can surveil you (but they can't steal from you)

2. If the business goes under, you will need to be able to follow some technical instructions to recover your funds to a new product.

They front doored it. You technically have to opt in to using their recovery feature to become subject to this.

But most people won't know this. Or care about it... not until it is too late.

Fyi, don't use Ledger Restore. As long as you never use that feature, you'll be fine.

If you don't even want to be tempted, I suggest looking into Coinkite's products or a SeedSigner.

Glad they are finally being transparent about this.

FYI, this applies to custodial accounts too. I wonder if this is enough to convince a few more normies to self custody from exchanges?

Remember Truckers Convoy protest? Some people got caught in the tailwind without having anything to do with it.

Suspect of terrorism? Remember this is not being CONVICTED of terrorism.

If a hardware wallet setup can be warranted to give up the key which gives full unrestricted access to your bitcoin, then an exchange can be warranted to freeze and then transfer your bitcoin to them also.

Could "buying and/or using bitcoin" become an act of terrorism? One that they only apply to middle class and not their friends?

that company is bent over to comply with any government and make it easy for them, I assume that in ecchange their business gets favors.

that feature only works if you are ignorant enough or stupid to sign in for the recovery service. If you have this bad quality HW as your default just don't sign for that service, if you did, revoke it and move your SATs to a brand new wallet
