Starting a Self Managed Super Fund (smsf) this week in Australia. Any advice for holding Bitcoin through an Australian smsf is greatly welcomed. I will provide what I find out as I work through the process…I assume it’s going to be difficult knowing our banks. #investing #smsf #AUStrch #forthekids

We have 2 beautiful, smart, whitty funny little boys.

My wife desperately wanted more. A little girl to round out the family.

I always said no because I didn’t think we could afford it.

I worried about sacrificing too much to provide for another.

I worried about schooling, I worried about travel, I worried about having an affordable and comfortable lifestyle for all of us.

I had a fiat mindset, because I didn’t know any different.

I didn’t realise there was a solution that would enable everything we wanted through hard work and time preference.

Now, I fear we have left it too late to safely go after what we want due to age.

Fiat robbed me and my family of something truly beautiful and I will never forgive or forget.

much appreciated... forgot to check github 👍

Swipe feature is hidden well though can't see how to enable it... still better than default keyboard

‘ "The Establishment" has come to mean: net zero, ESG scores, DEI ideology, CBDCs, climate scare mongering, increased costs of energy and living expenses, moneyprinting via high degrees of government spending, abandonment of merit in favor of ideology, and so on, with carbon allowances and social credit scores on the establishment horizon. ‘

couldn't find... got a link?

Can anyone recommend a keyboard for graphene OS?

The default keyboard feels basic or old... Takes a lot longer to type anything

I have been using Nostr for two years now, and the lack of a NIP-09 (event delete) or its equivalent standard on Nostr is, more than ever, a significant privacy and safety issue built into the current version of the protocol.

Snowden warned us of the dangers of a permanent record. Have we not learned anything?

Nostr, as it is right now, is a permanent record that seeks to tie all of your apps and your coin transactions to one key pair.

If that key pair is ever compromised, EVERYTHING is compromised.

If you accidentally doxx yourself, you are HOSED.

It's bad OPSEC. And it sounds like a honeypot waiting to happen.

Amber (event signer) is a decent workaround, but it has not passed a third-party security audit, and I still believe a parent/child key system is the way to go as it does not expand your attack surface by having to depend on a third party to keep all of your Nostr business safe.

Now back to event deletion...

The protocol is the protocol. Relays must use the protocol to participate in the network.

If the protocol requires honoring event deletion requests to participate in the network, then Nostr will have avoided this festering security and safety issue.

If certain #Nostr devs don't stop saying universal post deletes can't happen because of xyz (insert biased limiting belief/excuse here), and start figuring out how it can be done... it's a protocol design that's dead in the water to anything but mostly nameless, faceless anons.

The future is privacy-first, client-side computing, not relays. The clock is ticking.

Milton would know - he helped setup income tax withholding for the US Gov.

I once abandoned one on the side of the road.

A few years later I remembered that, at some point, I had stashed within the car a tiny encrypted USB drive. It contained a backup of my BIP38 encrypted private keys. 😧

Thankfully I had moved the funds not too long after the car was abandoned, though I doubt anyone could have gotten past two encryption layers. 😂

Who is the most widely heard musician in all of history, with songs that almost every person on earth can recognize?

(hint: “no, it’s John Williams”)

this pixel8a is smaller than the pixel6 pro, i can feel the dopamine comedown 😅

i also really like it tho cause that screen was too big and despite looking better, i (used to) prefer small where my fingers can actually reach acros. 🫠 will take some adjusting.

also finding a good keyboard, i am now autocorrectless on florisboard, loottta backspacing goin on 🦍
