PrivacyTechPro tip:

Your router likely has proprietary software installed from a large company that has full access to your internet connection and can "call home" at any minute.

Use a hardware firewall and a VPN on your network.

Every IOT (Internet of Things) device you connect to your home network not only announces your IP address, but also expands your network attack surface to hackers.

I recommend #Protectli Vault Pro VP242 4x 2.5G as a hardware firewall for most client's home and small business networks.

I'm gonna finish up this proof-of-concept. It's going to rely on a slightly hacky design solution because I'm working with limitations in the API of OsmAnd. Later on, I can make a full version that uses their "SDK" instead. I think I can finish it this weekend.

That is becoming less true every day

Just buy small amounts of bitcoin. 1 sat = 1 satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC = less than a penny right now.

Of course people don't stack individual sats at such a price, they just buy as much as they can afford, as much as they feel comfortable with buying and make sure it is somewhere they think is safe.

If you are collecting your sats in an exchange, this is okay but once it is more than you might carry in your pocket, move it to a bitcoin wallet that you have full control over. Coinbase wallet, Binance wallet, Exchange XYZ wallet, these are not bitcoin wallets, BlueWallet, Sparrow Wallet, Phoenix Wallet, Samurai Wallet, these are Bitcoin wallets.

Do spend some time looking up the differences between the wallets, do ensure you are keeping "open source" and "self custodial" as the most important features before things you might want like "lightning payments", "coin joins", or "multiple accounts" etc.
