Carpenter, fledgling bitcoiner.

Quitting the computer games is something I have recently started taking seriously after having played most days for 20 years. I've known for a long time that it was no longer giving me joy, except for when doing it with the wife or other friends.

It's been a process of many years realizing how it has shaped me into an extreme procrastinatinator, something which I'll have to deal with over time I reckon, but it feels like a switch has been flipped to where I can no longer play without feeling guilty if I haven't first accomplished my daily goals.

Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole last year really started me on the journey to where this was possible, and strangely enough it was listening to a book recommended by nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, Atomic Habits, that flipped said switch.

So good and thought provoking.

For those that are interested...

Ashigaru is a "fork" of Samourai wallet. It has been up and running quite a while and is even better than Samourai. You can download it here, https://ashigaru.rs/ but you will need TOR to do so.

You will also need a dojo. You can run your own, which is preferable, on a server like #Start9 or even #Umbrel. If you don't have your own you can use someone else's. A friend you trust is next or you can look here https://dojobay.pw/

The reason I'm writing this is... If you have an old phone that you don't use, download Ashigaru on that. Then download Sentinel watch only wallet on your daily driver phone, here https://github.com/wanderingking072/sentinel-android/releases.

Sentinal is a fantastic watch only wallet from the same arena as Ashigaru. You can then create your TXs on your Ashigaru wallet and sign it, whilst your phone is in airplane mode. It can't be sent as you are not online, safe from predictors. It can create a QR code which your Sentinel Watch Only wallet can scan and send.

Why? Well apart from being probably the most privacy minded wallet out there, you have just used your old phone as a seed signer. Airgapped. Free.

Thank me later

Awesome. Will look into this, thanks

Well done! I made progress on my indoor grow room today as well 🤩

I wonder how long after that Taiwan gets integrated, this is bullish news for Xi! Doubt the US will be as diligently protecting them for very long after that..

I don't disagree, but ultimately this kind of thing will have the most profound effect on wall street. Slightly less so on your average American, and far less so on the other 97% or whatever of the world's population. That said, the US obviously has a strong cultural influence, but I just don't think that will make much of a mark on bitcoin as a whole

This is a lesson that has to be relearned every generation of new bitcoiners until it sinks in. Bitcoin bank runs will happen and people will get rugged. Same dynamic as gold except we are far more free to hide our wealth from governments and other bad actors, which gives me a tremendous sense of hope.

In terms of sats, as every sat will be precious when ♾️/21M starts taking a hold.
