Haven't touched a Pi in years, small form-factor used enterprise computers are light-years ahead in every way and often cheaper too these days.

Practically no one builds their own binaries or APKs either, that's not the point of FOSS.

The point is that you can at any time reproduce the resulting image or binary from the code and can choose to go the extra mile and compile it all yourself.

Using hosted images is well worth it the vast majority of the time for simplicity, but Docker also makes it trivial to compile locally as well.

Real server will definitely win, cannot hate Pi's enough for practically any Bitcoin-related purposes.

So bad.

Can't be solved, it's always possible but we can minimize the risk through audits, eyes on code, and being cautious with upgrades to that part of the protocol.

Have to remember though that as Lightning grows in usage it ultimately always relies on the base layer for security and thus inherits privacy issues from the base layer.

Need good privacy tools on both.

Added on quite a bit to my blog post, fleshed out the next steps for me a bit, and linked out properly to many of the resources and tools mentioned:

Have enjoyed the back and forth with everyone, has made for lively conversations 🙂

Would love to hear more from y'all what you're most excited or curious about in the Bitcoin privacy space in the replies 🤔

Glad to hear it, and happy to answer any questions you have!

For KYC'd users, it's pretty bad.

Thanks for the kind words, Andrew 👊

Huh, well that was my go-to client on desktop...

Guess its time to figure out Gossip.

Best "why" for Nostr out there so far.

Love it ♥️

Already working on a lot behind the scenes at Foundation, and working on speaking/education much more in Bitcoin circles this year.

Would love your thoughts on it, we've had a lot of good interactions over the years and you've been one of the good ones keeping me connected to Bitcoin!

It's high time I shared more on why I've shifted focus more to Bitcoin from Monero over the past several months, and my latest blog post is an attempt to do just that:

Happy to dive into more detail for any of the points given or my reasoning behind this shift 🙂

Zapped from Zeus, for Zeus 👀

Love the UX around this, very slick!

Losses are born by the taxpayer, most just don't realize it because inflation is a silent killer.

Can't say it helps allay fears 😅
