Moments before dropping another “Bitcoin fixes this” on the group chat 
Okie GN Nostr
#GN #catstr
Okay if you're so smart, how would you perform geographically dispersed multisig under these constraints:
- You own no real estate
- You have limited trusted connections to store or protect a backup
- You resist the notion of a safety deposit box for backup storage
What then, toxic maxi anon?

I got there, I flinched once but I got there.
One day I'm gonna go more than 48 hours being fully satisfied with my bitcoin maxi setup.
Someday. But that is clearly not today.
I had no idea what a seedsigner is until this response. LOLing at myself, I should know better by now than to doubt that if it should exist - it either does or will with bitcoiners involved.
Thank you 🙇♂️

Okay on second thought, this was the cop out response to avoid the crosshairs. But I should keep the discussion alive, it's valuable. This is Nostr.
I think there's a part of me that favors those that have done a lot of the heavy lifting for me - like Coinkite - because the convenience of their product is, at least at first glance, worth sacrificing that visibility into the code.
I can verify the dice roll algorithm.
I can never plug this thing in to anything, ever. Me likey.
I can transact cleanly.
I get the paranoid security that I think a lot of maxis look for.
So perhaps my brain is seeking to protect my peace in knowing that this avenue exists - I don't have to worry about recreating it myself. I'm giving up that last little bit of ownership of the design to this custodian, Coinkite, because in turn they give me something that I get warm fuzzies from.
But if I'm brave here, I can't help but submit that... were a great hardware list to exist... and the software was FOSS... there's nothing stopping me from being able to give myself what I'm given by my Coldcard.
Perhaps what I worry about - what I'm hesitating on - is the destruction of the enterprising incentive for such conveniences to be invented. I worry that if there's no promise of likely profit, would such hardware/software companion lists ever even be devised?
It's a leap of faith to trust that they would.
Perhaps I just need to learn to trust this community.
I suppose I just don't have the answers 😵💫
Demanding FOSS with no exception makes the capital expenditure to assemble/deliver a physical wallet a daunting proposition... disincentivizes places like Coinkite to exist since it forces them into a race to do it the cheapest until the DIYer method just wins out with COTS options.
I can understand their decision to protect a portion of their code in the name of protecting the part of their business that assembles/delivers physical products.
I be buying 🤷♂️

The #bitcoin miners cleaning out every single geriatric transaction in the mempool this last week.
Before I posted this I was in a Youtube hole rewatching this and 'All Eyes On Me'. Think I had forgotten just how good INSIDE was.
The lost hope of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, replaced with a shitcoin stockpile instead.
The homie when I walk him through his first on-chain #bitcoin transaction and together watch it get mined on mempool.space 😎😳
Humbled, price agnostic stackers to the haters in their lives that fuss/reject/hesitate on #bitcoin.
Rejoice, you can convert your fiat currency for #bitcoin and transact on the base layer at your leisure.
You still know something the world does not know.
