A lot of positive energy, we are early, there is much to be built, make UX better; let’s get to work.

Interesting to observe that Schnorr's protocol for proving knowledge of discrete log (which for the TLDR people is kind of the "primitive" behind the Schnorr signature) is really actually a tweak on a pre-existing idea from a paper by Chaum, Evertse and van de Graaf in '87.
https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/3-540-39118-5_13.pdf
Specifically the construction `s = k + ex` is already present in that work. The main tweak is that Schnorr proposes the variable `e` being a "full" random group element, whereas that paper proposes iterations with `e` being only a bit. It's the same basic thing.
Schnorr actually references it in his original paper on "Efficient Identification and Signatures for Smart Cards", and he also develops the idea more than that, so I'm not accusing of plagiarism or something; just pointing out yet another reason why having a patent on this is so stupid.
(I mean patent aside, it's also of historical interest. Yet another example of Chaum being "the GOAT" as the kids say).
Didn’t the patent expire already? So alls good, the genie doesn’t go back into the box.
NGL the M2 is awesome. 🫠
Saw the history of money in the Kunsthistorische Museum Vienna today. There was everything in there except Bitcoin—that’s the future. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_8868684459024324901691872702.webp
Started to ask at every place whether I can pay with $BTC—I am doing my part anon.
I hope everyone is safe out there. Make sure you double check your seed setup. https://milksad.info/ —and don’t roll your own crypto; if your UI is shite that may be less of a problem.
I always liked that when I did academic research. Either find fringe security issues and show what is possible or work on issues where the cost/benefit is heavily tilted towards making people more secure with simple methods.
Issues only arise if someone wants to sell their rare security issue to the masses through fear. I tend to liken it to an immune system. Yeah we might get sick from time to time, we even might get a serious illness, to optimize for a good life, one should focus on living their lives and not be stifled by fear over what might happen. Live healthy, and deal with the rest as it comes up—or have some basic security measures down, and that’ll protect against most threats.
What’s the use case for a mobile bitcoin node? Archiving? I have an unused drive but already run a BTC node on an Intel NUC so I don’t understand the benefit in that case.
Congrats sir, keep it going!
Have you heard of #worldcoin? Well watch our deep mine this Friday only on #Bitcoin Backstage https://nostr.build/av/0f20332cc1ac40276d47878c1f9c6ced1101a1d1e680c5d8b1f8710c95fec6b9.mov
You may not want to put your eyeball that close to a cam for free in public either. 🫡
Anyone wanna work on a FROST BTC wallet?
This will be coming to the friendly enslaved EU country near you as well. In some form it is already in place for Banking with even lower limits.
