Interested in bitcoin and physics and their intersection. https://github.com/machuPikacchuBTC/bitcoin

Haven’t scrolled Twitter/X in almost a decade, but if the Bitcoin subreddit is anything to go by all the signal was drowned out by NGU enthusiasts and propaganda bots long ago.

It feels like Nostr, which ironically is the friendliest to bots, is the only place to have real discussion anymore.

Thanks for sharing; I’ll give that a listen this week.

I love Nostr and agree it’ll play a role, but even then a lot of signal comes from zaps and with OpenTimestamps we have more integrity built into the ecosystem.

Without bitcoin we couldn’t solve the “ordering of events” problem which I think will become more important for high stakes communication.

Bitcoin isn’t just a revolution in money. It’s a revolution in communication which itself is a basis for money.

A digital network that naturally rejects spam, censorship, and forgery is the cornerstone of the communication stack of the next century.

🚀 Today we’re supporting nostr:npub1q67f4d7qdja237us384ryeekxsz88lz5kaawrcynwe4hqsnufr6s27up0e

from Bitcoin-Safe.Org with 1,000,000 satoshis for his work on Bitcoin Safe – a beginner-friendly multisig wallet for Mac, Windows, Linux, or anywhere Python runs. Why this matters 🧵👇

🔧 Development of Specter Desktop is no longer a priority at Swan. A vital open-source wallet has essentially become abandonware – leaving a painful gap in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

💡 Andreas, a former Specter developer himself, recognized this gap – and with Bitcoin Safe created a brand-new solution that already goes beyond what Specter offered.

🔒 What makes Bitcoin Safe special:

An open-source wallet focused on multisig and hardware wallet integration. It combines the strengths of Electrum, Specter, and @mempool – with Nostr functionality added in.

🧙 The beginner-friendly multisig wizard makes secure Bitcoin self-custody accessible – even for non-technical users.

🖼️ The graphical transaction display isn’t just functional, it’s beautiful. Even better than Sparrow! For Bitcoin artists like Fractal_Encrypt and nostr:npub1yp7wfa7msdpusf4vupzttttu2mx3cns7whx5cgkt4yr9pkpvujus2mzys7 it can be exported as vector graphics.

🌐 But the real gamechanger is the Nostr integration – enabling secure, decentralized PSBT exchange between cosigners.

🌐 It’s comparable to Electrum’s Cosigner Pool or nunchuk's proprietary chat – but here: fully open source, set up in seconds, and run via encrypted Nostr DMs.

🔗 Not just PSBTs – UTXO labels can be shared via Nostr too. A key building block for collaboration in multisig setups.

🌍 We’d love to see other wallet clients adopt this Nostr sync functionality as well – to increase client diversity, especially for organizations with varying needs.

🛠️ Bitcoin Safe delivers this critical workflow entirely open source – built on the decentralized Nostr protocol. A milestone for sovereignty in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

🤝 Open-source Bitcoin projects are chronically underfunded. That’s why it’s so important to support developers like Andreas who push boundaries and define new standards. Bitcoin Safe 💪

📣 Our support of 1,000,000 satoshis is meant to send a message:

High-quality open-source development deserves funding.

2 out of 5 cosigners signed this transaction using Bitcoin Safe. Who’s next?

🌱 Follow nostr:npub1q67f4d7qdja237us384ryeekxsz88lz5kaawrcynwe4hqsnufr6s27up0e and check out the project.

Join the Einundzwanzig Association and suggest other projects worth funding.

Open source stays alive – with your help.

Congrats, Andreas! Thank you for all of your hard work 🙏

For all the devs out there vibe coding outside of a sandbox just keep in mind that these agents are reading files and environment variables.

They can accidentally (or “accidentally”) read keys, passwords, and other sensitive data and stream it back to headquarters.

Expect them to go sniffing around on your machine. Even a locally running agent isn’t safe because they often reach out to the internet and can exfiltrate any number of ways.

At the very least you’ll need something like little snitch but even that’s not sufficient.

Like an email client with every post having a prefix like “re: fwd: fwd:”

Nostr turned into GhibliHub

That’s not very step-brotherly of him

Sometimes I pay Claude $0.30 to cat and sed the same few files over and over. I’m not even mad because I’ve had jobs in past pay me more for the same thing.

If you run a #cashu #mint where only your web of trust can redeem is that a minimum viable form of covenants?

nostr:note1lqfmc3ff2lq8x4rqjkjfh7mrc27nx97m87l27fgd6a4eerpwm8gqvqvfg8

For example: put your nuts in emojis and your mint behind a private relay

nostr:note1przrljsvxee4gwywv4y530rfx4rmtf8g0540anz7ckf2vh2lm3yq3fynpp

If you post notes to a set of private relays and reference them in notes posted to public relays then you’ve got a Nostr native redaction system.
