Could a slight variation in this theme be used to designate disposable child keys for private messaging?

As illustration, I DM someone a child key w/ validation which opens a private message channel where they reply to that validated child key with a message and a new child key & validation of their own and we continue replying — each time designating/validating a new key for reply. As the messages are encrypted to the users disposable keys, no one need know that the child keys exist or that we have continued our conversation.

3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ORDERING A COLDCARD, TODAY.

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1. IT'S THE PREFERRED DEVICE FOR BITCOINERS

Quality of the users, not quantity, is most important. The smartest people in bitcoin trust the COLDCARD.

Their focus on security is second to none. The reason guys like #[1]​ vouch for the COLDCARD is because of it's security features.

Other devices require a connection to a laptop. The reality is that even if the device is clean, the laptop it's being plugged into is likely corrupted.

The COLDCARD uses airgapped technology which means that it doesn't need to be plugged into a laptop.

2. DEMAND IS STABLE RIGHT NOW

We're in the middle of the longest "bear" market in bitcoin history. Coinkite is quite busy now (I would assume) but wait until the price starts ripping.

Will they be able to keep up with the demand at that point? How long will the delay be for new orders? I don't know. But I'm sure as shit not waiting to find out.

Think of it like a burning building. As soon as you smell smoke, you start heading toward the exit. You're not going to wait to see the fire before making a move. Things get really dicey when everyone is trying to get through the same exit.

3. THE SCAMMERS DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS... YET

Any company who is shipping these devices is at risk. The risk is that someone will intercept the device, tamper with it, and steal customer bitcoin.

First of all, Coinkite has a great way to ensure no one has messed with the device (3-way audit of the serial # on the exterior package, inside the package, and within the device itself).

Secondly, no one has figured out how to crack this yet.

As the value of bitcoin continues to increase, the number of scammers will increase alongside. I'm sure Coinkite will monitor and continue improving the security to prevent this. But I would not want to be the case study for that one.

4. BONUS - THEY ARE BADASS

Look at this thing. Low tech, high security. Exactly what you need.

You can even get a steel plate to make sure your 24 words survive anything, including fire.

You worked hard to earn those SATS. Make sure they're protected to the highest degree.

Grab a COLDCARD and thank #[2]​ later!

I second nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 the cold card mk4 is a great device. It made me retire my less sovereign hww devices. Looking forward to the Q1 when it ships, too, for more on-the-go usability with the QR features. Also I can keep up with firmware releases just by listening to nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 Bitcoin Review podcasts.

In fairness, Biden is a great liar. He says it like he truly believes it.

Commerce, people conducting business want to conclude it and FOMO, ordinals (a sort of on chain layer 2) degenerates want to make sure they get their trinket, token, or jpeg. The next block may also have high fees, too. As fees peak people have to bump their fee with RBF or CPFP or wait a very long time for the fee market or die down. In general, high fees are a positive sign that bitcoin interest and utility is increasing.

In this case, the user paid over two orders of magnitude (100X) over what is required to get a miner to pick their transaction.

Transactions are charged a fee in sats/vbyte. Miners are incentivized to choose transactions based on how many fees they can fit into

How to sell sats to Ordinals degens? I have some high quality vintage sats still in original UTXOs.

$200/sat

DM me

When we start printing those $100,000 dollar Obama bills and $1,000,000 dollar trump notes, $1T/sat will be right around the corner.

Hard goods : hard money (2/n)

=========================

All transactions would take place in BTC. For example , a customer loans a car for 1 BTC, then returns the car 2 years later expecting to receive the 1 BTC minus the pre-negotiated terms for damage and depreciation. The customer will expect that contract to be honored and paid out in bitcoin and not the fiat value of the depreciated car. Similarly, the depreciation and damage withheld under the contract should be valued in BTC and NOT in the new fiat value of the damage and depreciation. For both parties it should be as if fiat simply does not exist.

This requires a high level of trust that the business will hold the bitcoin as bitcoin not fiat during the length of the contract. The bitcoin should be dutifully and visibly held as a UTXO during the life of the contract.

Next time… what security protocols should be in place to reduce counterparty risk?
