I'm in Mauritius and getting my classic African rite of passage of playing frogger to cross the road and using locals as human shields to avoid death by crazy cars

My Zurich–Mauritius flight got canceled. I entered Switzerland, went to the rebooking desk, they offered a hotel and a 24-hour delay—no thanks! I rebooked a same-night flight, grabbed my bag, rechecked it, and exited Switzerland after just 1 hour. See you in Mauritius! 
I have to give it to Swiss engineers, the KYC wifi machine at Zurich airport is way more beautiful than the Chinese or Turkish ones 
Pre flight selfie before Africa Bitcoin Conference see you in Mauritius! 
Zurich airport requires KYC for wifi AND rations it to four hours. Is wifi some expensive resource that the swiss can't afford??? 
One of the greatest feelings in the world is flashing a new Pixel with Graphene OS 
Lmao what a joke 
Pura Vida 
Forgot to take my traditional pre flight selfie, here is a post flight selfie from the Museu do Ipiranga rooftop!

I feel super safe with the CCP's surveillance cameras tracking everyone who enters a Tibetan monastery 
ShangriLa, China is gorgeous 
One day Europeans can join China and figure out how AC works. 
Not really, the lights are optimized for traffic and light lengths change depending on traffic levels.
The billions of cameras that use AI and facial recognition to track your every move is Orwellian.
Chinese highways have cameras every couple of minutes that check if you are wearing your seatbelt, texting and driving, or speeding. They text you a ticket immediately if they detect a violation. They also upload your location to a database so they can track where you are. https://video.nostr.build/c65c62e60d23f98ab5ab1ca530826b9d6226be0210c1525c9355d8de796696b0.mp4
I'm in a buttfuck nowhere Chinese city and the city's traffic lights are internet connected and tell your car's navigation system if the light is green, yellow, or red and how long the light is

My greatest battle with my in laws are the AC settings. It's 40C (105F) outside with 75% humidity. They want the AC set to 25C (77F) and I want it set at 18C (65F). I'm currently in a suspended state where everything I do is 0.5x speed because it's too damn hot.
I was the only foreigner on my packed HK - HangZhou flight to mainland China, immigration in the foreigner lane was super fast! 🤣
Losing my brain cells listening to a member of the Trump con man family gonna go hang out with FOSS devs instead

Oops almost stumbled into the wrong conference 
Looking forward to being at Bitcoin Design Week!
People laugh at Bitcoin but central banking is an even bigger joke

BIP 353 is a huge leap forward in security and UX for common payments from hardware wallets. Yet, sadly, its stuck in a three-w
ay chicken-and-egg problem between the software wallets that people use, the hardware wallet firmware, and recipients.
No one wants to do the work to be a first-mover when the other two legs don't exist yet.
So, to get off zero, lets try a bounty.
I'm offering $1000 (payable only in Bitcoin to a BIP 353 HRN) each for the first hardware wallet and (on-chain, hardware wallet-supporting) software wallet to support sending to BIP 353 HRNs.
For a hardware wallet, this should be easy, just detect the PSBT field for a DNSSEC proof, validate it, and display the HRN for verification instead of (or in addition to) the actual address. You don't have to use https://docs.rs/dnssec-prover to do the validation, but I imagine it will be easy. The feature has to exist in the released default firmware for the hardware wallet.
For a software wallet, there's only a few more steps, support detecting a BIP 353 HRN in the send-to UI, do the DNS lookup (again, dnssec-prover should make this easy, if you want), build the proof, and include it in the PSBT you provide to hardware wall
ets. Also store the HRN (and maybe DNSSEC proof) so that the transaction history shows it. The default sending methods (GUI/CLI/whatever) have to support accepting HRNs and should handle them just like regular addresses. You don't have to support silent
payments, but of course its good to as well. Support has to be in an official release.
A hardware wallet that also provides a software wallet doesn't get to claim both bounties. Releases which satisfy the bounty must be made before December 31, 2025.
HRF is happy to match this bounty for $1000. Freedom Go Up!
