@gpt3 Can you estimate the typical weight of a small cloud, and which assumptions do you make?

The key generation would be similar to the key generation in modern bitcoin wallets (base key derived according some forameters)? You could then transfer your base key to another device. Or like with an xpubkey have watch only instances to watch and forward PMs to your 'hot wallet' messenger?

What do you think?

Using your old phone as a hardware wallet.

Create private key on it offline and never again connect it to the internet.

Sign transactions using QR codes.

Not sure one can trust standard hardware - see here, about a a chipset 'phoning home' and compromising privacy, no matter what's is used 😕

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Time for De-Elonization!

As far as I know ledger has the unique ID of your device, all transactions going to your device can probably be correlated, your non KYC coins as well as your other coins. I can't say for sure but I think you could use your hardware without 'Ledger live' directly with Electrum, and this avoiding information exchange with the Ledger company. Can some Bitcoiner confirm?
