I will be teaching a class on Decentralized Identity at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. We will learn about Nostr and Polygon ID.

Take a unique photo of me in class, create a Nostr profile with a nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm bitcoin lightning wallet, reply to this post or message me in a post, and I (and maybe even others…) will pay you to complete your homework with a zap.

Happy 25th anniversary to Wei Dai’s b-money paper which was credited as one of the inspirations for #Bitcoin 10 years later by Satoshi http://www.weidai.com/bmoney.txt

Im hopeful that alby and Zeus keep going. nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is not a mobile app and has no App Store requirement. Zeus provides no inherent service. The combination of the two seem like the “best possible decentralized option.” I still miss nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq because I found the retail user experience for a custodial wallet as close to perfect as one could hope (although highly risky… as any custodial experience is!) However nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 gives me more hope that some users will graduate beyond custodial wallets and may run their own node… one day :)

Looking forward to presenting on “The Future of Money” at the first meeting of #ACTI in #HongKong this Thursday 2023/11/30 at 6:30PM. Please register. Looks like an interesting mix of government, #TradFi and #Bitcoin #Web3 community attending to talk about #CBDC, #stablecoins, RWA #tokenization.

Figured out how to make my nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg stop advertising a tor connection but still allowing it to connect via tor by modifying the docker fragment in a custom version. Managed to get TEOS working reliably with CLN (change the default folder to ~/.lightning/watchtower). Encrypted backup rsync solution is in place.

It’s too bad I can’t get paid for this at work. These types of projects are the only way to learn.

Biking with the family yesterday

Trezor model T with touchscreen but no secure element or trezor safe 3 with secure element? I’m leaning towards model T - and recommending everyone should use a mandatory passphrase anyways. I’ve used the Trezor One for years and agree with your reasons. Cheers!

You have an opportunity to show a room full of billionaires how to set up a cold wallet in 20 minutes. Which guide would you use? Which hardware would you pick?

Happy Thanksgiving. Here is your dinner discussion cheat sheet.
