Please message with questions or concerns! Happy to help, have been a happy user for over a year now, and going on 3y w/ Calyx/Graphene
Google Play.
I'd only use Aurora if I couldn't use Google Play properly, like with CalyxOS.
I think something with your setup is borked, that is not at all my experience (though I don't care about gpay support and know that's currently missing (but WIP!)).
Simplify your setup:
- Always on VPN
- Google Play compat
- Use the Google Play store as much as possible (more secure, but of course FOSS tradeoffs)
- Use Google Camera w/ network disabled
- Use Google Keyboard w/ network disabled
Whittle down from there if you don't need all that functionality. That still provides excellent privacy and security if you limit apps.
I have practically *zero* issues on GrapheneOS - what are your core issues? Mine just works pretty much as well as stock Android.
Have you tried the Google Play compatibility layer? I've been testing that and highly recommend it if you want a more seamless experience.
Adding it today and announcing that it's open for anyone to use!

Aside from Twitter and Telegram, https://gateway.nostr.com/ and https://nostr.guru/ also support useful previews of notes and profiles on Mattermost, Slack and Discord now.
Add https://nostr-gw.sethforprivacy.com to the list 😉
What's this 🤔
10,000 sat zap to the person who guesses correctly first ⚡

Curious to see who can chime in with the right guess first 😉

Sadly no, Trezor is the best right now IMO.
Tor nodes are easier to Sybil attack/eclipse attack but would at least protect your source IP, protecting rough geography etc.
We'll go into detail for sure on prevention mechanisms 🙂
Barely use Twitter anymore, haven't scrolled that feed in weeks 🤯
Thrilled to have research legend and Spiral BTC grantee 0xB10C join us to dig into an attack against the privacy of Bitcoin nodes happening *right now* that most don't know about🎙️
https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1ZkKzXdwAkaJv?s=20
Not only will we unpack what the attack is and how it's happening, we'll talk about next steps for how you can protect yourself against it and preserve your privacy when running a Bitcoin node.
If you run a node you'll want to tune in live or listen to the podcast feed later if you can't make it:
0x is an amazing person and has been doing fantastic work behind the scenes on Bitcoin, so I can't wait to learn from him and figure out more about an attack happening against our Bitcoin nodes.
Good evidence that a new entity is surveilling all transactions and tying originating node IPs to them, but I'll let 0x get into the details Tuesday 👀

How do bounties work, especially custody? Would love more info on that!
Old laptop is great! Usually better hardware than a Pi and gets a battery backup as well 🙂
Just be sure you have enough storage. Would highly recommend running something like RaspiBlitz by @openoms
💯
Love seeing more people actually apply high time preference to *using Bitcoin* and putting in the work, rather than just "stacking sats".
I hear ya, parent and working at a startup too! Hard to find time but it's well worth the rub.
Then run a lightning node and learn the tools 🙂
Zaps *should* be a great prompt for people to explore doing things properly and cutting out the middle man (which was one of the most important reasons Bitcoin was created!)
