For all those 'mericans that are in "panic mode" using Phoenix, here is what you should do:

1. Save you phoenix seed.

2. Uninstall from app store (because is linked to your account)

3. Install app from their github, without any fucking app store

https://github.com/ACINQ/phoenix/releases

4. Restore from seed.

Done, be happy and ignore all the shit.

If you still use an apple shit, drop it now and take an android, de-googled and do those steps.

If you still want to use your fancy apple crap... sorry but you have been warned.

perfect time for people to switch to grapheneos and fk app stores off

no physical sim but rather an esim. I don't provide this number to anyone and use a handful of VoIP numbers to silo government / friends and family / throwaway

update: using an Australian VOIP provider with Groundwire, working well for calls and sms.

Beef up your #bitcoin security with a private home network to interact with the bitcoin network 🥷

Self custody is important, now ensure you can always transact without censorship ⚡️

Below is the hardware and software I chose for my simple private home bitcoin network 🧶

1) APC 1500 surge protection and battery backup for loss of power without downtime to the network & allowing for proper shutdown of hardware/software

Plug all your hardware into this.

2) Arris Surfboard SVB3202

This is just a modem, no wifi, no bullshit. Just a nice, but stupid modem.

Stop using your ISP gateway. Take back control of your internet.

Screw your incoming internet cable into this and plug your WAN ethernet line out.

3) Protectli Vault fw4b

This is a four port firewall router plus an auxiliary wifi interface.

This device runs FOSS OPNsense firewall software with everything essential to protect your home network.

Plug your WAN ethernet from the modem into the WAN port. Run your LAN ethernet out

You can decide what comes in and out, separate devices on the network and so much more.

Free Open Source Software runs on this dedicated micro computer to control your internet flow.

This is bad ass hardware and Protectli has been rock solid customer support.

4) GliNet Flint 1800 WiFi router

This sleek piece of hardware is the ultimate wifi router!

Take complete control of your home internet with the web based GUI.

This has four ports and four separate wifi networks each with own password protection.

Easy to add VPN with wiregaurd on the router and run tor on router. Cover every device connected.

Too many features to list including Adguard & DNS.

Plug the LAN ethernet from vault into the LAN port on this wifi router.

5) Ronindojo Tanto bitcoin full node

Sovereignty in bitcoin is to have your own copy of the blockchain and verify your uxto sets against it.

This is the ultimate FOSS plug and play bitcoin full node in the game.

Dedicated rockpro hardware and solid metal fan less case!

No bullshit pure sovereign full node:

Runs debian based RoninOS

Bitcoin core

Fulcrum

Ronindojo

Whirlpool

Mempool

Tor

Web based GUI

Pair with Samourai Wallet and Sparrow Wallet.

The ultimate user created and supported hardware community!

Plug this into the port on the GliNET WiFi router

6) Classic X Thinkpad

This is a Bitcoin only dedicated laptop with Intel ME removed by MiniFree

Debian

Sparrow Wallet

Tor

Terminal

OPNsense GUI

GLiNET GUI

Ronin Dojo GUI

This is the work station you interact with the Bitcoin network on... behind a fire wall, behind a VPN and over TOR!

All on hardware you own running FOSS in your own home.

Plug Thinkpad into router so as to be on the same local network as your node.

Everything in and out is over Tor or VPN

7) De googled Pixel

Purchase unlocked with cash so as to not have identity tied to an ime number.

Run CalyxOS or Graphene.

A secure private mobile device simply for running your dedicated Samourai Wallet and pair with your Ronindojo Tanto full node for complete sovereign transactions on the go!

Now is the time to take back control of your home network. Build a private home network that is representative of the value of what you hold. Ensure you can always transact without censorship.

Use Freedom Tech to your advantage #nostr

similar setup;

Protectli 4WC with Beryl AX w/ wireguard configured using protonvpn per MichaelBazzell's guide.

Thinkpad T480s w/ Linux mint Debian and sparrow as a watch wallet as my daily.

RaspberryPi4 w/ umbrel running Bitcoin core, Tor, Mempool,etc.

Multisig setup with coldcard.

Goggle Pixel 7a w/ GOS

Just need to clean some KYC sats and via Whurlpool.

Finally running Grapheneos, just need to sort a VOIP client app.

We are not in a late stage capitalism cycle, we are in a late stage debt cycle. Marxism has such an influence on how most people think about capital, economics and political ideologies, only if they knew he was a complete bum, socialism and communism degrade human civilization and plummet us back to the dark ages.
