How good are you at recognizing HARDWARE #WALLETS?

Would you bet you know all of these below?

We bet 21M #sats, that no one recognizes them all from this image until 6/1/24 10PM CET.

We’d bet 21M #Bitcoin but we don’t have them, sorry :)

Rules of THE Game:

How to win #sats by guessing the name of the wallets?

a) Everyone can participate. Name them with numbers, like 1) wallet vendor, wallet model, 2) wallet vendor, model… 19) wallet… etc, like they are numbered on the image.

b) The game is live on Nostr and X: https://twitter.com/DaKript/status/1743380806288990627

c) The sats will be zapped on Nostr

d) The max reward is 21M sats or 0,21 #Bitcoin and can be won in the first 24 hours after publishing the post. After every 24h reward is halved as there will be less and less HWWs to guess.

e) Hints: 1 hint will be given on day one. Every next hint halves the reward even further. Hint is given when at least 3 contestants request for it. We will publish an image with names of guessed wallets here and there.

Have fun.

Can I knock a few off or wait until I know them all?

As I enter my 4th year in #Bitcoin I reflect back and am so appreciative of all that it’s taught me, from economics to energy, ethics to politics, software to hardware, tinkering and problem solving, self sovereign to self custody to central banks, history, philosophy, proof of work, time preference, community & family.

This was a fantastic podcast by nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx to start the year. Amazing conversation, and salient points. The huge difference our small community can make in so many areas. And, not necessarily looking for jobs in Bitcoin, but staying where you are, making a difference where you are - doing what you’re good at or passionate about.

I feel so blessed to be in the US practicing ophthalmology, especially here in the great state of Texas. Feel a profound sense of gratitude everyday for this gift and wondering how best to make a more tangible contribution in 2024.

#docchain, we should keep the chat & conversation alive this year. Should be the best one yet!

Wishing all my #nostr fam all the best and excited to see where the road takes us! ⚡️

GN #nostr fam. Tomorrow should be interesting. Or not. Still gonna stack. 🧱

Oh awesome! You’ll have to let us know how you like it!

And yup! Currently ophthalmology in the AF in San Antonio, but will be separating in the spring. I will miss my active and retired military patients quite a bit. 🇺🇸

Ya you don’t necessary have to do that…but I was offline for a week and another device nabbed the IP, so could no longer connect to it. Even trying the new DHCP leased IP it gave it didn’t work when I tried to connect.

So, had to allocate a fixed / static IP of my choosing (there were a bunch of options), reset the router, and it worked⚡️ just took me forever to figure out how to do that because I’m technically challenged lol

That’s wild. Great insight! I just talked to my buddy (also ophtho) with 475k in loans. The interest alone on those was terrifying. Hard to say if I’d recommend it. Being on the other end I do absolutely love what I do, as I’m sure most docs do. Went into this because I enjoy helping people and vision is a profound gift to be able to give.

Also, I don’t need to be exceedingly rich, but need to keep the lights on and make sure I can support my family. Luckily (depending on how you look at it), I joined the military to pay for med school so have zero debt. Military medicine is a whole different convo, and will be interesting to see how private practice is this spring when I’m done with my commitment. Luckily it’s a nice little practice in a small town and there are no shortage of old retired folks with eye issues!

This is wild. Sad. And terrible. Reimbursements for us keep getting slashed year after year. We train for years and years to be able to stick sharp instruments into peoples eyes under a microscope, assume all the risk and liability and stress, and get paid a few bucks after overhead. Almost not worth it.

Amazing! Mind me asking how you scaled? Like having an electrician set up/modify to be able to run that many miners/220V outlets?
