When I hear the phrase "opt out", I sometimes think of this scene from Merlin: https://youtu.be/LxiLUEgN6vQ

What disappears are, among other things, state-funded journalists and academics.

Watch out for the fakes:

Vim: "Why would you ever want to leave?!"

Wow

Context? He was only allowed to pay digitally?

Haven't been active here for a little while. Been pre-occupied with adjusting to my switch to Fedora and i3.

However, I have been gathering more data on seed phrase memorization. Will post more on that relatively soon.

Thanks! Yes, I'm aware. I intentionally used 24 words for demonstration purposes. A memory technique that works with 24 words should obviously work for 12 as well. One difference though is that you will probably not need the vertical lines with 12 words – just dividing up the seed in 3 groups of 4 words each should be enough.

A simple way to memorize a 24 word seed.

Write your words like this:

Cover up all words with a paper and slide it to the right, revealing 4 words at a time. Only work with groups of 8 words at the time, as indicated by the vertical lines. For each group, try saying the next 4 words in your head before revealing them. If you can't, reveal them anyway by moving the paper, say them, and then cover up all words in the group of 8 again. You will likely have to move the paper back and fourth a lot during the first practice round.

Do 3 trials a day – not more, cramming is a waste of time. One trial means that you have worked with each group of 8 until you have recalled the words just once when covered up by the paper. The first trial should take less than 3 minutes if done right! Speed will grow proportionally from that. You want to be able to remember the words at least as fast as you are able to read them.

I'm still doing some testing and will provide more data later. The preliminary results suggests that total practice time should be less than 15 minutes if spread out over a week.

Note: I'm not suggesting that anyone only store their seed in memory. I view this as one backup among several, and whether it's a good idea to memorize a seed depends on personal circumstances.

What lightning wallet would you recommend when using RoboSats?

Horrible OpSec, but I can't resist sometimes.

Can they remember their address and social security number?

Coinjoining when moving in and out of Bisq is such a pain. I really like the idea of just buying L-BTC instead. That said, I just checked and there are no current offers to buy L-BTC. Not sure if anyone would take an offer if created. Also, seems like you can't buy L-BTC directly with fiat. You have to get BTC first.

They are affiliated with the Samourai team. If you don't like them, Ronin Dojo is not a suitable option for you.

A few weeks ago I made a bet with a no-coiner over 1 gram of gold that #bitcoin will be greater than $30K in 5 years. I should have raised the stakes.

I run Ronin Dojo on my Pi4. Very reliable in my experience. But it's only for on-chain transactions.

Here's something I've found helpful for staying focused. I divide up the day into different 'time zones' or windows where I'm only allowed to use the computer for certain tasks. Each window is signaled by a different desktop background.

For example, I have a two-hour window in the morning where I'm only allowed to use my computer for creating stuff – writing, coding, and so on. In that window, I use this background:

Not many of those where I live. Tempted to get some stickers and fix that.
