What would you recommend instead of using Supabase for auth, database and storage?
Even better: build a network of people you trust, where you can buy and sell your bitcoin in-person.
I wonder if merchants, that pay with fiat, understand how to acquire and buy with Bitcoin.

Great tip! I didn't know about this one. Many great projects have been shared :-)
I knew about Lynx, but not about Dillo. Thank you for sharing! I'm currently using it to just read articles without all the tracking scripts and other nonsense involved.
It's a great question, but I wonder if such a browser can exist, even with enough donations, when evil company X gives money to change the roadmap.
Can you expand on the arbitrary data downloaded by browsers?
True, the opposite is also true: in large groups, people become very stupid, no matter how smart they are.
They're working together with Blitz wallet:

Is the cheapest paid tier a beter option when you want to use the Supabase database.
Self-host services you need, as much as possible.
So the only way to sell Kyc bitcoin is to sell it where you bought it.
Every hardware wallet has this issue at some point. Can your heirs use your hardware wallet in 15 years? They'll need so many firmware updates that the device will probably be unusable. So they'll need to buy a new one, anonymously, if the product still exists or it doesn't have a "feature" that "conveniently" separates your seed into 3 parts and shares it Edith3 different companies, like Ledger did.
Seems something like a SeedSigner is much more future proof and doesn't have firmware vulnerabilities issues.
Bitcoin's simple monetary rules vs government's complex monetary rules.
Very good move!
My main concern is when you sell parts of your bitcoin, e.g. for cash, are you required to explain where and who the money went to? You can't do this when selling it for cash. I haven't heard anyone taking about this.
Let's say you've sold, that means you have less bitcoin. When doing the yearly income taxes the number of bitcoin you enter has decreased. Will that give issues, inquiries or not?
The whole thing is bullshit because when you've sent it to another address, you could have sold it or you could have sent it to your own wallet.
What is your strategy for this? Would love to haar your thoughts on this.
I would say buy bitcoin in-person for cash. Don't use the banks! Build a network of people you trust to buy and sell amongst each other.
Thanks for sharing these. This should never be forgotten and should be saved. Ideally with the full article. They could rewrite history by deleting Google cache, deleting articles and archive sites.
It's probably financial privilege and not knowing anything about Bitcoin, other than the price, that they won't buy it, except for all the crash coins.
The government isn’t trying to kill #Bitcoin, they’re trying to CONTROL it.

Maybe a massive increase in solo miners would decentralize it more and those would be kyc free, no bs government regulation.

One important lesson learnt: developers should work anonymous
Congratulations to miner bc1q~aalj with ~200TH for solving the 310th solo block on the eusolo.ckpool.org server! A miner of this size has a 1 in ~35K chance of solving a block each day.

Anyone knows if there is a list of all solo miners who mined a block? #asknostr
"It's not money" is interesting. Banks hof claims on currency rather than money, where currency does not have a store of value.
Instead of a salary job you could create online Bitcoin courses that could provide extra income unrelated to your time spend on it.
E. g. a course on how to live on a Bitcoin standard has your name written all over it :-)
It's a big tradeoff to make. You get privacy but you also get custodial, so you have to completely trust the ones running the mint. What if you run the mint with people you completely trust or it's inside a community? On the other hand, people could just join a mint and could end up losing their bitcoin because of scamming of the ones running the mint.
It would be great if we didn't need to run a cashu mint or a mixing service but just with a bitcoin transaction e.g. or another simpler development to come.
I missed all the criticism on cashu. What is the case against it or do have don't references?
That is interesting. Thank you for explaining. Is it a cdn-like setup with caching?
I'm not familiar with Blossom servers, but I know they're used to serve media from for Nostr. In the slide it mentions distributed blobs. Does this means it uses the bitTorrent protocol?
The development for the Linux kernel uses git and email. That is also aan option if or when Github goes rogue.
When discussing the Bitcoin blockchain and its implementation, the terms legal, government or compliance are to be ignored completely, in my opinion. It was created to operate outside government control. Seems an attack to me.
And the whole of EU included.
How does that work? Let's say you have an internet connection and bluetooth on in a country that is not Jamaica, how would you be able to connect with people in Jamaica with Bitchat?
i want each meetup to run their own mining pool
And I see the path to get us there.

Many clients respect user reports and will adjust content and timelines accordingly. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/56.md
Clients? I thought this was something for the relays?
Filtering spam is also censoring. Now the censoring is present, it's waiting for the next thing to censor. Maybe transactions that use too much co2, that are not inclusive? Sounds absurd, but I would not be surprised.
You are conflating terms and misusing English. You even do it in the question itself when you say “possession of the seed phrase”.
You can understand that if you steal a car, you don’t own that car; similarly knowing a secret doesn’t mean you own it.
The problem here is that if you start using the correct language, and accurately, your whole mental framework that’s been handed to you to contextualise bitcoin is destroyed.
No Bitcoin user owns UTXOs. UTXOs are database entries that your private key can be used on to make a signature using someone else’s public key. All UTXO’s are copied in tens of thousands of places; by no stretch of the imagination does anyone own them.
This is like saying because you have a copy of “The Godfather” on your hard drive that you own the copy. You have a copy, you don’t own the film. It’s exactly the same with Bitcoin. You control your private keys that are strings of characters. That string can be used in a mathematical function to produce a mathematical result. Information works differently to physical matter.
No one “owns” math or any string of characters; exclusive use of a secret string of characters is not “ownership”.
https://medium.com/@beautyon_/the-bitlicense-is-a-bad-idea-that-must-die-cb413c076d85
Bitcoin is special because it makes it trivially easy to conflate and superimpose ownership analogies on mathematically generated strings that have utility in a single context. Normal people need analogies to interface with almost everything in modern life, especially where software is concerned.
“Self Custody” is a multi layered analogy set, designed to help you understand how a Private Key works in the Bitcoin context without referring at any time to math or signing processes or the chain of blocks, or databases other people’s Public Keys or anything to do with the actual processes involved with who gets to sign messages and their in context meaning.
Bitcoin is never owned; it’s an entry in a massively replicated public database.
Bitcoin is never sent or received. It is reflected in the public database.
Bitcoin is not money. It is a database.
None of these absolute facts have any bearing on Bitcoin’s utility; analogies are used to help you understand and accept bitcoin as a full replacement for fiat currency and banking services.
Without this contextual help, no member of the public would accept Bitcoin, and in the end, if people can’t use Bitcoin without the need to understand it, it will never change the world at scale.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive answer. Your examples has made it clear to me that you indeed can't own bitcoin. If you can't own it, how can you take self-custody of it?
Maybe you can say that you have access to a specific set of UTXOs and nobody else has.
Then I hope apk and PWA will become much more popular then kyc-ing an app into the app store.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Sen. Bernie Sanders on Gaza: “Genocide is a legal term. What is going on now clearly is absolutely horrific…But the important point is not what you call it — it is horror — the answer is what the hell do we do about it? Should the United States taxpayer, should your taxpayer dollars, go to support a government that is doing it? That is the most important issue.”
