Alternatively, you can just buy a cold card and let it generate its own seed phrase and take the first few/several words for a passphrase.

Even better, did you know you can let the cold card generate a seed phrase and then roll die to mix your own entropy into the machine-based entropy?

What is this painting about? There’s clearly a complex story here…

What I’d do: roll a die. If odd, write a 1, if even write 0. Repeat this process until you get 11 bits. Then look up the corresponding word in the bip 39 wordlist (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Seed_phrase).

Repeat this process to get as many words as desired. 12 is almost certainly too many for a password/phrase on a seed phrase.

If only we had met before I lost my private keys in a tragic boating accident.

I haven’t followed the Gox issue other than 1) withdrawing all my coins well before they had problems and 2) following the trustee address balance on my blockclock

I won’t dox myself :)

Don’t forget! The Mt Gox coins and US Marshall service coins will be coming to market/returned to old bitcoiners eventually. That’s like 250,000 bitcoin or so.

This is roughly 280 days of mining rewards at current production rate. 560 days of mining rewards post halving.

This will have a substantial effect on price.

Indeed. It is different.

I’ve used essentially every bitcoin device made ever since the beginning.

I prefer coldcard. A lot. But I didn’t start there, not by a long shot.

I’ve built up around me a community of normies who have bitcoin, some of whom have achieved self custody status. I’ve seen the struggles and problems and mistakes…I pre-ordered a bitkey as my next welcome to bitcoin gift for a newbie.

There’s only one thing more important than stacking sats: stacking a community of local folks who stack sats.

You didn’t see my video shooting mine with a Desert Eagle .50 cal…hits way harder than that.

I remember Luke being very early to understand the unintended network split…and to propose the new and unexpectedly hard forking “rule” be rejected.

I like Luke a lot. He’s not great at expressing himself but if you understand what he’s really saying, he’s rarely “wrong.”

You do realize they printed a shit ton more dollars than you can possibly imagine, right? Selling bitcoin is great, so long as you get the right price. What’s being offered now is not reflective of how much money the powers that be really have printed.

Use your income/capital to buy bitcoin, use your bitcoin to buy things you can’t otherwise get. But trading bitcoins for dollars in hopes of someday getting more bitcoin is a very tricky thing to do.

I’m in. I’ve been in bitcoin since the laptop mining days of July 2010 and I’ve used essentially every type of hardware wallet since the beginning of hardware wallets. And I can tell this is different. Different security model but cleverly designed to protect the user from the most common danger: themselves.

I haven’t had time to fully review the cloud private key backup white paper but y’all seem to be on the right path for the masses. Kudos 👊

I doubt it. Civil war in the kinetic sense requires partisans on two or more sides to have arms. While not impossible for >=2 parties to obtain arms, as best I can tell only one side has arms.

With World War III coming to a theater near you soon, it makes one wonder where the best place for a military age male to be to watch the show rather than be in the show…

If a US citizen, college, graduate school, or prison come to mind…but where else? I’m not keen on small places like Tuvalu that are ripe for the picking during global chaos…

What’s your strategy for avoiding the meat grinder? Remember, even the US murdered a not-quite-countlessly large number of non-combatant European and Japanese civilians during the last global war. And a considerably smaller number in the conflicts since.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, our currency/debt problems require a global war…or at least such war has been the only solution to the problem since time immemorial.

Gen X is responsible for financialization of the economy. Lazy boomers will lead us to war.

I started with the same dish. Worked hard to get it pointed at G18, which wasn’t my best choice, but at the time I didn’t know how to look up expected power at my location.

These are stationary. But being even a small amount off has a pretty significant impact on signal to noise ratio, especially for a small dish.

The service is very tolerant of outages. I have to look into this again, but new transaction data is transmitted real time and last six blocks are retransmitted hourly or something like that.

Yeah, but where I live 45 cm is marginal. But being an over achiever, I went with a 1.2 m dish (there is essentially no advantage over a 60 cm dish given how the data is redundantly transmitted…it’s fairly tolerant of outages).

Think of the condition as the bodies reaction to long impaired sleep due to excess alcohol consumption. These patients suffer somewhere in between consciousness and sleep and the lines between the two are blurred. Hallucinations are common. Seizures too. Tax free ethanol is available at your local hospital in an emergency.
