Bitcoin Stealth Seed Guard and other.

Punch those dots! #bitcoin #selfcustody #byob "be your own bank"

How to read the Bitcoin Stealth Seed Guard:

- dots can be made with pressure operated punch tool (hammer and a nail is the cheapest way).

- one dot out of the grid indicates the list of words

- two dots out of the grid indicate the side of which have numbers

Introducing https://gg.lovable.app/ - a client I hacked together over this weekend purely with an LLM tool called lovable. Later will move to gg dot social. 

Zero code was written. It’s buggy and probably very slow at times!

Currently living on a subdomain https://gg.lovable.app/ , because I need to take some extra steps to publish it to gg.social.

This is a hobby project, without any serious intenion to make it super good. I am merely testing the limits of this LLM, but I do plan on hacking on it over weekends and maybe some nights if time allows. I do have a full time job so I can’t dedicate too much time to this. Please keep in mind this is just an alpha with mostly everything broken! You’ll be lucky if someo things work well haha. 

Current features I was able to hack together:

- Sign in with extension

- Light mode and a buggy dark mode

- PWA (though you cannot sign in on mobile pwa yet, but you can on desktop)

- Custom fonts

- Custom font size

- Notifications (buggy still)

- Video feed (buggy)

- Bookmarks (may be buggy… seeing the trend? haha).

- Settings - optional zaps (zaps currently broken even if toggled on, off by default)

- Muting works

- Following should work

- Special snow mode just for holidays, totally optional of course.

- Uploads do not work yet. Nor do gifs.

- Truncating doesnt work yet


What I plan adding in my spare time:

- Uploads

- Gifs

- Possibly AI prompting to generate images or text right into your note

- Multi uploads

- More cool customizations

- Possibly oauth login. I promoted the hell out of an LLM and it told me it should be possible. We’ll see.

- Opt in ads (you will get paid for seeing ads.

- Ad choice - you can choose which types of ads you want to see, down to very specific keywords, for example: products that help me become a better developer.

- Dynamic ad marketplace. ad spots will rotate based on your payment rate (all done in sats of course)

- Better mobile experience

- search

- Translations

- Geographic note support - see notes from your local area only

- Reaction choices

- Fully working zaps

- NWC

- performance optimizations

- gg.social domain!

- Better branding down the road

- Polls

- Image effects on mobile (upload an image, add effects, filters, text, emojs, etc…)

- Possibly stripe subscriptions / premium tier

- Delighful animations

- Your cool ideas. Just tag your ideas with #gg

- Beefier severs

- Onboarding

- Discovery

- Basically, I will add all the awesome features you wish you had that other devs won’t bother with, because I want this to be a fun client and one I want to use the most.

Feedback welcome! It’s almost 2 am now, so I will go to bed haha. Forgive me if I don’t see your reply right away!

when I click on the log in button, I get "Login failed. please try again." is this a feature or a bug?

Who else is scaring central bankers tonight? #halloweenstr #debankstr #haloween #homeminerstr

The crypto anarchist manifesto

A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.

Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.

The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies.

The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be trade freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy.

Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property.

Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!

1. Don’t work for money:

Rich don’t work for money. If you work for money, your mind will start thinking like an employee. If you start thinking differently like a rich man, you will see things differently. Rich works on their asset column, every dollar in their asset column is their hard-working employee.

2. Don’t be controlled by emotions:

Some people’s lives are always controlled by the two emotions of fear and greed. Fear keeps people in this trap of working hard, earning money, working hard, earning money, and hoping that it will reduce their fear. Secondly, most of us have the greed to get rich quickly. Yes, many people become rich overnight, but they have no financial education. So educate yourself and don’t be greedy or fearful.

3. Acquire assets:

Don’t buy liabilities on your way to financial freedom. People buy liabilities and think these are assets, but they are not. Many people buy luxuries first, like big cars, heavy bikes, or big houses to live in. But the rich buy assets and their assets buy luxuries. The rich buy houses and rent them, and they pay them for their Lamborghinis. The poor or middle class buy luxuries first, and the rich buy luxuries last.

4. Remember the KISS principle:

KISS stands for keeping it simple, and stupid. Don’t be too overloaded your mind when you are going to start your way to financial freedom. Things are simple and keep them simple. The simple thing to remember is assets put money in pocket and liabilities take money out of pocket. Always buy assets so they put money into your pocket.

5. Know the difference between assets and liabilities:

Assets are anything that puts money in your pocket, like stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, rental properties, etc. Liabilities are anything that pulls money out of your pocket, like your house, your car, debt, etc. People think their home is their biggest asset, but it is not. A house is an asset when it generates money like when you rent a house, it generates money, and when your life in that house becomes a liability.

6. Don’t be a financial illiterate:

A person can be highly educated and become successful in their profession, but financially illiterate. Financial education is very important for any individual. Our schools and colleges did not teach us financial education. Many financial problems arise as a result of a lack of financial education. Start learning financial education and I suggest you read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

7. Increase your Wealth:

Wealth is defined as a person's ability to survive for a certain number of days in the future, or how long they could survive if they stopped working today. Consider your wealth and whether you would survive if you stopped working today for a year.

8. Mind your own business:

If you have a job, keep your job and start a part-time business and work it. Use the time that you spend on your iPhone, parties, or any other activity, to build your business. Never leave your job until you build your own business. Don’t struggle all of your life for someone else. Start your own business and grow your business.

9. Train your mind:

Your biggest asset is your mind. Many individuals watch opportunities with their eyes, but if you train your mind, you can see opportunities with your mind. If you train your mind well, it can create enormous wealth.

10. Learn technical skills:

Your financial IQ will be raised by learning these four technical skills:

Accounting is defined as the ability to read numbers. If you want to build an empire, then this is an essential skill. By learning this skill, you will be able to understand the strength and weaknesses of a business.

Investing: It is the science of making money.

Understanding markets: It is the science of supply and demand.

The Law: A person who has knowledge of the law of tax advantages and corporations can get rich faster than others.

11. Find opportunities that everyone else missed:

"Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes. They are seen with your mind. "

You can see many more opportunities with your mind than many people miss with their eyes. It is not rocket science, you just need to train your mind.

12. Learn to manage risk:

Investment is not risky, not knowing the investment is risky. If you want to reduce the risk, then increase your knowledge. This knowledge will not come by going to college, it will come by reading books or sitting with people who know the investment.

13. Learn management:

The main management skills are:

Management of cash flow

Management of system

Management of people

Sales and marketing are the most essential skills. The ability to sell and the ability to communicate with another human being, be it a customer, employee, fiancé, friend, or child, is a basic skill of personal success.

14. Manage fear:

“Failure inspires winners. Failure defeats losers.”

Everyone has a fear of losing money.

I have one doing exactly that! Still need to build a case for it, but after fitting with 140mm fans from Arctic for my S9 and fitting PSU with NoiseBlocker 60mm, life can't be better. Running one third of it's power, it's dead silent. Awesome 👍 😎! And it's winter coming up on this side of the world, so it also makes me cozy.
