I finally have a workflow that I'm really comfortable with for my spendable utxos. First I withdraw them to a Samourai wallet on an old Android phone. I let them sit there for various, non-uniform amounts of time. After letting them age, I use paynym to transfer them to a different Samourai wallet that's connected to the Ronin back end. From there I mix them in Whirlpool and keep mixing them until it's time to spend.

Servers I have running at home:

RoninDojo Tanto (Samourai wallet)

Umbrel

Urbit

Synology

and of course Bitcoin Core on my windows desktop.

The ones I use the most on a day to day basis are the Synology and the Samourai servers.

I'm getting some sweet new hardware for the Urbit server today courtesy of my dear friend #[0] and https://www.nativeplanet.io/. It looks completely rad. Photos to come.

My wife let me buy my dream gun for my birthday. Kriss Vector. I'm still pretty new to firearms, btw, so when I showed up at the rifle range and kept missing the target I didn't think the sights might be the problem. Then a nice dude at the range offered to help get them lined up if I came back another day. I'm hoping to do that this week.

I used to blame religion for mass warfare, and I'm sure that before the 20th century they were an effective tool for organized violence. But it seems that once we hit WW1, way more death was wrought by appeals to national identity, statehood, and complex interjurisdictional treaties.

After a few months of playing around with anonaddy.com, I finally have my anonymous email forwarding the way I like it. They key for me was setting up a custom domain, and I can create new aliases on the fly for that domain. I'm not affiliated with anonaddy. I just like how it has worked for me. You can pay in Bitcoin. I highly recommend this service.

I'm an atheist and I have been since I was 18. Yet a huge percentage of the people I spend time listening to are hardcore Bitcoiners and religiously devout. It's interesting.

I just tried to zap you but your LNurl still isn't working. Get a Wallet Of Satoshi address and call it a day till you and I can get our LN nodes configured.

Check out this passage from "Twilight Of Gold"

"The international gold standard was, historically, one of the most important adjuncts to the opening of the world to settlement and development. This creation of a world economy constituted one of the great and beneficial turning points in the history of mankind. The outstanding feature of that period was the unity of the economic world... There was freedom of travel without passports, freedom of migration, and freedom from exchange control and other monetary restrictions. Citizenship was freely granted to immigrants … capital would move unsupervised in any direction, and these movements could take any form."

And then this passage from Lyn Alden's latest article..

"The combination of an open monetary network and an open information network is pretty interesting. Programmable bearer asset money can move around frictionlessly across borders, and between platforms. Platforms can be interoperable with each other without directly working with each other to make it happen, simply because they are interfacing with the same underlying protocols."

Conclusion: Bitcoin is fostering a unified economic world that it will extend beyond the information economy and into every aspect of global economy.

Nunchuk wallet and tapsigner is quickly becoming my favorite wallet platform. I wanted to test what would happen if the original tapsigner was lost. I restored the "lost" tapsigner key using backup+password, and Nunchuk seamlessly swapped the restored key into the quorum, but as a software key.

Then, as if I "found" the lost key, I re-imported the tapsigner into the key library as a new NFC key, and Nunchuk automagically re-swapped the original tapsigner key back into the quorum, replacing the previously restored software key.

Tres impressive!

I have zero channels and I'm looking for my first hookup. I'd be much obliged to anyone willing to open with me.
