BitBox02, but I'm obviously biased as I'm working on it.
Open source, has Anti-Klepto, Miniscript, Taproot, advanced multisig and is super easy to use.
This is my last week fiat mining.
In January 2023 Breez open sourced their SDK and I was so excited about its potential. I had heard about Greenlight for the first time at Bitcoin Honeybadger 2022 and know first hand the limitations of running a non-custodial node in a mobile application.
I spoke with nostr:npub1ey6qdmvzcgcsr883m9nspzz0mm037l26xtardzcskfsvc6gc7jssm9szvp for the first time in February, his ideals and approach towards Bitcoin and free markets resonated with me so strongly I wanted to help.
I began implementing the framework for their React Native support, pulling together their swift and kotlin bindings and bridging it to typescript for mobile hybrid applications. Within a month the module was finished and fully integrated into nostr:npub1yvjfcngw8hk9u2fyph7zfrhekk2y2kzyrcekxyuudran7krlrv7quh0z5d.
It was an absolute treat to work with the Breez team and I continued to contribute, next figuring out how to package their bindings for Go and being more involved in reviewing PRs.
To my absolute surprise and joy, three months ago I was offered a developer position at Breez.
It's been a whirlwind of a year and I'm so excited to start next week at Breez!
Congrats, Ross!

Ukrainian Omega Company reportedly destroying a Russian BMP using a Javelin ATGM.
The types and dates also coincide with the aircrafts Russia lost in Bryansk in June, allegedly through friendly fire. This confirms the theory of Patriot being used to shoot down aircraft much further away than previously expected.
Ukrainian Patriot System with claimed kill count marked on the side. Interestingly contains multiple jets and helicopters, which means it's used for more than the protection of bigger cities from missile barrages.
Some Shahed markings can also be seen. Shooting these cheap drones down with a multi-million dollar patriot interceptor is probably their least favorite way of getting rid of them.
Russian Lancet strike on a Ukrainian P18 radar station. It appears that the anti-drone nets weren't high enough. Damage unknown.

Destroyed Russian Su-34. This appears to be an older loss that hasn't been seen up close yet.

Translation:
POW: Don’t exchange me, let me serve a sentence and I’ll stay.
Ukr: what you gonna do over here ?
POW: I’ll help, I can build houses.
Ukr: what about fighting.
POW: I’m the type of person I can’t kill anybody. Even when my commander gave me a gun I told him I wouldn’t shoot at anybody. I hid in the forest with 6 magazines and when I surrendered the guys checked me and I really did have 6 full magazines.
Ukr: you say you don’t want to go home, but your wife and kid is there what about them?
POW: I’ll figure a way to contact them through the internet tell them everything is ok.
Ukr: but they’re gonna say you are a traitor (to the government).
POW: no she won’t.
Ukr: but the kid will.
POW: no he wont
Ukr: maybe better go home?
POW: better with you guys. If I go back to the motherland everything will start bad.
Ukr: why?
POW: I’ll just start drinking.
Ukr: like you won’t do that here?
POW: no here you can work, and make money! I won’t drink. You can make money and buy a house.
Ukr: well you say you don’t know anything about Ukraine! And you say you can get work.
POW: you guys will have plenty of work! Even won’t need to search for it they’ll be tons.
Ukr: why will there be plenty of work?
POW: rebuilding everything.
Ukr: you know everything is fucked, ruined.
POW: yes the boys showed me the videos.
Ukr: what video?
POW: that everything got bombarded, certain cities there’s no houses no nothing.
Ukr: which cities?
POW: artemovski, Mariupol.
Ukr: there is a practice where the POWs rebuild what they destroyed?
POW: well if the possibility exists why wouldn’t there be?
Ukr: because we need to exchange for our own POWs back.
POW: even if you exchange me I’ll run away from Russia back to you guys.
Ukr: that’s a problem…
