Encryption today mostly means trusting apps, update pipelines, and centralized infrastructure. Even “end-to-end” systems still depend on vendors, app stores, and forced updates.
Timeseed v2 is an attempt to remove that dependency entirely.
It’s a lightweight, open-source, client-side encryption tool that runs as a standalone HTML file (online or fully offline, air-gapped if you want). No accounts, no servers, no key exchange.
Instead of contacts and key servers, Timeseed uses deterministic time-based key derivation:
Generate a high-entropy TimeSeed root
Optionally add a secret pepper
Derive reproducible passkeys scoped to daily, monthly, or long-term periods
Rotate keys simply by advancing the date — no coordination required
Crypto stack:
Argon2id (memory-hard KDF)
AES-GCM (authenticated encryption)
Per-operation random salts and IVs
All encryption happens locally before any network touch
You can share a TimeSeed publicly if it’s pepper-protected, or keep everything private. Re-keying is trivial. No identifiers tied to phone numbers, emails, or IPs.
Timeseed v2 also includes LockIt, a companion encrypt/decrypt tool for text and files using derived passkeys — useful on desktop or mobile in constrained situations.
This isn’t a messaging app. It’s pre-network encryption you control.
If you believe sovereignty means owning your keys and your tooling, this may be useful.

After a few years on nostr: I see little to no improvement.
Super bad clients, unstable connection, relays are cra*, the NIP05 name thing is a disaster to work with (only one provider actually really works), and the feed is a chaotic mess of memes and old charts or ads for some gimmicks.
If I post something real (like a tool or some insight / blogpost) it gets zero to 5 views/reactions at best.
This is so dead.
I can't understand how people in the bitcoin space keep raving about this complete failure of a network. (and yes, it had potential, but it's now nothing more than a glorified pub/sec key authenticator with bad implementations.
my nostr feed is total garbage... wtf is this ? 😟
I present the BIP39 word stream.
What it does
It displays one random word from the official BIP39 word list (the 2048 words used for cryptocurrency seed phrases) at a time, in large text on screen. Every few seconds (default 10s), the current word fades out and a new one appears with a smooth pop animation.
The key feature is the "pepper" field:
You can type any extra passphrase (locally only — never sent anywhere).
This pepper is mixed with strong cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues) and a counter to generate each word.
The result is a cryptographically biased-random selection of BIP39 words, useful for people who want to add personal entropy to a seed-generation process while watching words appear slowly.

I'm building a next level encryption method for messages and files that can be used outside of the surveillance network.
So far, I found zero bitcoiners or encryption loving people that want to test along with me on this.
Is there anyone out there willing to test or work together on something cool and proof of work?
Maybe someone in the bitcoin community can help me.
I'm ready to alpha-test the new timeseed v2 (encryption system).
However, I need people that know something about encryption algos.
So far, I couldn't find anyone knowing about crypto (not the s***coins, but the cryptography) :)
I think it's very important to have a standalone, open-source, decentral way of having quantum resistant encryption that works before it hits any client, network or centralized system. In other words: real offline, decentral systems that generate code.
The main thing is: as usual bitcoin projects get released even before testing, and leave the users with all kinds of problems, I want to do the opposite: test and learn BEFORE release.
DM me if:
- you want to spent time
- want to deliver proof of work
- know something about encryption
- want to be part of the timeseed gang (of 1;)
nostr web apps .. so bad... for real.
primal is absolute s***, doesn't load properly, snort.social: feed always empty auth failing after a while, and so many others just fail fail fail.
No wonder less and less people even want to try to use it day by day.
Is there no good usable fast nostr webapp out there? (don't get me started on android app, it's also bad, with Amethyst as the only mildly usable one).
(finally, after 5 minutes managed to get this out on primal...:)
EU Bitcoiners don't understand how f'd they are. They're sitting ducks in a prison that's been erected around them for years now.
The EU enemy knows you are the real way to make them crumble. They're faster, they scale and they're at the same time controlling the narrative to the 90% NPC and goons.
You can't eliminate monsters with flyers and stickers.
Organize, adapt. Be brutal.
Be relentless.
And read / hear this.

Working hard on 2 projects now:
- the upgraden 8rack seed generation system (it's finished, just ironing out smaller UI bugs now)
- the next generation of timeseed
Working on a second, more slick version of the timeseed.io encryption page.
The next version will need more testing.
The problem is, we have no real community with channels with active people in Europe. Most of them are even too lazy to click a link.
so I'm calling on the real proof of work people to help me test this thing properly in v2. The main reason is to have an unstoppable, decentralized, standalone way of doing encryption with time-based seeds.
This time, in v2. the focus will be the usability for non-tech users.
We'll need it.
Primal bist client, after 1 week if use (trying again after a few months) it's just empty, you can't even refresh.
I don't get why everyone likes this so much, it's a memory hog, and most messages don't get through. Even with 6 or whatever relais.
Is saying GM to everyone here still a thing or am I living in 2023?
Most people in this space reward the name recognition, not always the content or effort. There are exceptions, but most V4V is rather low.
The lower the price, the more I get this remark :)
So where are all the Belgian and Dutch people at over here?
#phoenix client (I can't find their handle... it's a mess ) your web client completely sux
It's a complex feeling I have about bitcoin right now. And I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this love/hate relationship with the whole space. On the one hand you have bitcoin as a mathematical property, the network we all love for the scarcity and zo forth. We trust in that. We know it.
On the other hand there's the real you, the daily you, the one that needs to take out the trash, talk with people, have some friendships, occupation, daily habits and get your stuff in order (however your situations is from struggling poor to mega rich in fiat terms). The question remains for me personally if bitcoin still helps me personally.
I'm struggling just to see how I can navigate this all. As the connections I have with other bitcoiners is rather poor in quantity (but luckily good in quality).
And yes, that's also in fiat-world, I know... but our expectations should be a more close community with the knowledge we have.
Hi there
From a march 2025:
About the Ssecond Saylor theory... And his vogue poses'
https://allesvoorbitcoin.substack.com/p/strategy-is-in-vogue
(Also audio version available for those who want to listen to the piece)
Primal blows... try to use it with nos2x and see what happens: bloated page, extremely long load-times and image posting that's often failing.
It's no good (but yeah, they try).
onboarding -> customization -> getting new users -> scale
time to wind down the nostr posts, it's more dead here every day
Nostr feels so dead these days.
Is er eigenlijk ooit iemand veroordeeld geweest voor de Bit4You scam in België?
Almost never happes in Bitcoin, unfortunately.
We have to invent a name for doing a 9 to 5 fiat job where one knows that the person can replace themselves by a few A.I prompts, but doesn't say anything until the hammer falls.
#FiatYieldWork ?
Anyone ?
I’ve reached a point in life where I’m just counting down the hours to escape the office and dive into building useful things with AI.
Without nosebleed coworkers watching over my shoulder foe anything useful they could latch on to
I tested my TimeSeed.io foe 6 weeks before release
And I see people vibe code stuff for 4 hours and count on 'the communitry' to spent their time on it because e they were too lazy to test ...
So from here onwards I suggest everyone that doesn't test at least the basics of what they release, I'll get no support, help or testing anymore. It's a bout respecting your users instead of using them as modern slave labour to test your crap
Testing something before you release it to the public saves everyone a lot of time and energy. It's z decent thing to do when you're in software.
In Bitcoin hardly any companies or builders do any decent testing.
It poisoned the well, as many people are sick of the bad apps, unresponsive features, bugs and overal crappy experiences dumped on our head like it's the latest sh__coin.
Instead of releasing 20 apps where 80% of things don't work, try to create, test and release something that's 95% done.
And yes, there will always be small bugs, but no gaping holes and downright obvious pre-alpha stuff.
Smze hoes for Bitcoin wallets, nostr apps and all these new tools being dumped on us...
It also overwhelms the decent apps that do testing the right way as they het 'oveegroN' by the weeds of untested AI garbage.
Encrypts/Decrypts like a charm!
Nice work 👍

Thank you!
It was tested for weeks on end, should work flawlessly

Check out my open source TimeSeed.io it's decentralized encryption for msg and files, all time based.
TimeSeed.io is the way to delf-encrypt and sync passwords without any central authority.
I made a quick start guide.

presenting my hobbyproject: the "MCOR" :
"Message Compressor for OP_Return"
This allows you to use OP_return (with the current 80 bytes limit 😉 ) as a message relayer, with compressed text.
https://allesvoorbitcoin.be/toolsguides/MCOR/
All part of the tools-set I'm building.
If you like my work, ideas and proof-of-work, please contribute.
I'm "Mr21" I can be hired as a senior bitcoin-centric QA engineer. I think out of the box, and like to invent stuff.
as requested, this is the screenshot you get when you simple do a login on stacker news through keychat without knowing you need to signup on their service first.
Found by trial and error... apparently you need to double sign up.
The error I got was "cannot sign in". This came from stacker news as I wans't signed up. This seems "obvious" for us, but not for end users.
Once you're logged in to keychat and then go to stacker news, you can assume your nostr account gives access to such services.
The small "signup" option I tried just to see if the interaction was going ok, sloved the problem, as then the stacker news signup allowed me to log in with extenstion from keychat itself. So, not your side , but the interaction between services on nostr and user-expecations.
(might sound dumb, but I see nostr login as a way to login, like "login with google"... so the fact that I need to signup on services before that works, seems odd
Let me help you with that
