I usually use Nostrudel on desktop. But the majority of my Nost'ing is on Android via Amethyst. I'm allergic to Apple products, so I can't use Damus.

*still can't

I still get on board with Primal. I want to like it, but everytime I try I just end up feeling out of place. I always end up going back to Amethyst, which feels like home

What is this? A surfboard for ants?!

It has *partial* ecash support. You can generate tokens, and redeem tokens created by their mint, but you cannot redeem tokens created by outside mints like every other ecash wallet. This significantly limits its usefulness because most ecash is created by outside mints.

Is there any way to sign up for one these pallets of cash?

That's not really the same thing as StealthEX. With StealthEX, you just select the currency you want to exchange, and the currency you want it converted to. Then you set the amount you want to exchange, plug in the receiving you want your converted currency to go to, and click go. It provides you an address to send your established amount to, and you just send your bitcoin or whatever currency you're exchanging. As soon as the transaction is confirmed, the currency you converted to is automatically sent to the address you provided. There's no KYC involved.

Well, well, well...

Has anyone used StealthEX to exchange currencies? How was the experience? I'm thinking of exchanging some sats for XMR, but I'd like to hear from some people who have used the service before I initiate the exchange.

I'm glad to others are using a similar system to structure the savings process. I think when you have a clearly-defined system that you abide by, it relieves the pressure of constantly thinking about when and how to effectively stack their sats. You follow the process, and everything just happens!

They're like, "What can do that will ensure we never receive donations? I know! We'll only support Polygon! Nobody uses that shit! And nobody is going to go through the hassle of acquiring it just to make a donation! It's perfect! "

That's kinda harsh.

I'm somewhat similar. My DCA purchases go to my Nunchuk wallet, and when a certain threshold is reached, coins are transferred to my offline, watch-only wallet. I make seperate, occasional purchases of lightning sats which go to my Minibits wallet for use in zaps and small-value purchases. Sats I earn through zaps and thrifting & flipping also go to the Minibits Wallet. When the Minibits Wallet reaches a certain threshold, I'll transfer the sats to my Nunchuk wallet, where they sit until it's time to transfer them to the offline wallet. This process has been very helpful in maintaining liquidity, and automatically saving.

It's not just the KYC issue. Anyone can look at the blockchain, and see which addresses are engaged in which transactions. Mapping out these records can reveal a lot of about the people behind them. Consolidation makes this arduous process exponentially easier. The principal of security through obscurity, which is often the only thing protecting the identity and behavior of bitcoin users is essentially obliterated as a result of consolidation.

You should also consider the effect consolidation will have on your privacy because once you consolidate, all your various coins and transactions will be associated with the one address you consolidate to.

I'm a big fan of putting stuff like this in my Proton Calendar, and setting appropriate reminders. Then, I can flush it from my mind, and forget all about it until my phone reminds me. I think that's a good use of technology.

I think it depends on how much you're holding. Consolidation may not make sense if you've got less than $10-15k, but over that it could make sense depending on the cost of the consolidation. But it also might be more trouble than it's worth. Say, if you have 1btc, what you save by consolidating may not be worth the hassle. It really depends on if you're trying to eek out as much value as possible, or if you're OK with just writing the expense off as just another inconsequential fee. This is all to say there's no single right answer, and it depends on your personal style and priorities.

You should change both your keyfob batteries every 6mo, even if they're not dead. Same goes for changing headlight bulbs, tail-light bulbs, license plate bulbs, and your smoke and CO detector batteries (if they're not running off house electricity). Change all of them every 6mo, and you'll never have to worry about being locked out, pulled over, or dying in a house fire. A little work 2 times a year will save you a LOT of hassle and traffic tickets, and could save your family's life.

Do you move your sats to your on-chain wallet once you accumulate a certain amount? Or do you just keep your lightning sats seperate from your long-term savings? I move my lightning sats to my on-chain hot wallet when I reach a predetermined amount, and I move BTC from my hot wallet to cold storage when the hot wallet reaches a certain amount. This method has worked out really well for me in maintaining an active spending wallet, while also continuously increasing my long-term stack. #bitcoin
