Maybe Plato idealised Sparta, which is a template for many regimes. Or is that just one side of humanity that come out with too much power? Either way the entrenchment of Plato's word are seen everywhere today, in Bible texts, Government laws and even failry tales.
My two cents. Don't get offended if I can only zap you 2 sats. I am still learning how to robustly maintain a lightning node properly. Some kind #nostr zapped me . This technology is eye opening. Thank to all FOSSi
It's been some time in the making, but our latest major release, SeedSigner v0.6.0, dropped last night and it's a monster...

This release has been ~8 months in the making and includes work from more contributors than any other previous release.
0.6.0's marquee feature is SeedSigner OS, that includes a custom Linux kernel created using Buildroot (https://buildroot.org).
(big kudos to #[0] & #[1] for all of their work on this amazing leap forward for our project!)
SeedSigner OS's key features include:
. Remove microSD after start-up
. Networking/BT/swap/usb removed from kernel
. Deployment image is ~100x smaller
. Build from scratch with minimal commands
Other new features in 0.6.0 include:
. Receive/change address explorer
. BIP-85 deterministic seed derivation
. p2tr (taproot) signing
. Compact SeedQR enabled by default
. MicroSD removal & reinsertion notification
. Keeper coordinator option
. Various UI tweaks & minor bugfixes
SeedSigner OS may also open the door for some interesting new features down the road, possibly including reproducible builds, PSBT transfer via MicroSD, and others... 🤞
Many of us are also very excited about #[2] ’s work on NIP-26 delegated signing using SeedSigner — many of the improvements to our current feature set will serve to enhance that functionality if/when it is introduced.
If you are receiving value from SeedSigner, or just appreciate the importance of the things we’re working on, please consider zapping this note. This Nostr profile is configured to route lightning payments to our development fund, the proceeds from which are distributed to our contributors:

Btw, I’ll be making an announcement soon on our next disbursement from the development fund for our contributors, stay tuned.
In the meantime, a big thank you to ALL of our contributors -- SeedSigner is an amazing FOSS tool that's been built for, and by, the bitcoin community.

BIG🧡 to all of you!
This is a great application of technology. I appreciate all your work
turn it into a nursey rhyme for the kids to sing
I like the word distributed better than decentralized. To me decentralized means fragemented, whereas distributed means all sharing on a common goal.
Have they always been so consistently corrupt or is it just they are getting bolder ?
The internet allows for such wild communication anyone can say anything.
Do you think the parasitic overlords see the distributed quality of information and take advantage of this?
Why u always yellen? nice 180
Why are central bankers so fat? They are storing their shit for the future without bitcoin.
I wish to learn lightning, and contribute. Stuff that works.
If you self host you're having the hot wallet risk plus other risks. See here and DYOR: https://bitcoiner.guide/lightning/
But imo the advantage of instant, cash final settlements and economically sensible microtransactions due to tx volume based fees outweight the risks of funds in the range of pocket money in a lighning wallet many times.
Thanks, anonymity is king.
I wish I knew this before downloading it, trying to fiqure it out, then uninstalling it just a few hours ago. Tis all a journey. 😀
How about when I already agree with what the person writes, and wish to repost it, It turns into a race of typing ideas before anyone. It might cost me physical energy to walk to the mailbox, but I don't need to exchange it for bitcoin first.
