100% agree with you because of the way that passkeys are currently implemented on mobile. I don't believe you can export the keys from an iPhone or Android phone. No thank you!

Passkeys are great but the vendor implamantation is terrible. Apple and Google only know how to make vendor lockin as pervasive as possible so they do it even with open standards.

Passkeys are brilliant but ONLY with a hardware key like a Yubikey. Also the site should support adding multiple keys.

Works from my self hosted core lightning node.

Just took my daughter to the range for the first time. She was a very good shot! What a great way to do some father daughter bonding.

Watching that makes me feel like we all hit a block.

You have a fair point. IMO trusting Coinbase with custody of of your #Bitcoin makes you a LARPer.

From The Ramsey Show on January 29th, 2025.

A kid in his mid 20's managed to DCA a 200K #Bitcoin position and these goofs more or less tell him he was lucky and that he needs to sell, pay off his student loans, and buy conventional investments. What absoluetely terrible advice! These Ramsey guys have gotten so many people absolutely rekt with advice like this. I assume he was able to consolidate that student loan debt down to a reasonable interest rate so I'm not sure selling any Bitcoin to pay that down makes sense.

These guys are so out of touch. It's great for middle aged folks that the conventional investing strategy worked for them but time has passed these Ramsey Show folks by.

Fortunantly I'm pretty sure Anthony was just trolling and has no intention of selling any Corn. Before Delony and Kamel hung up on him (so they could get in the last word) Anthony did get get in a good dig about how he had outperformed every hedge fund on the planet for the last 4 years!

The male cardinal to be more specific. Female birds don't get the pretty bright colored feathers 😔

At this point it's only interesting from a standpoint of how far they'll go. Pretty far in the case of that obvious incompletion.

The NFL is pretty brazen, I think the calls keep going in the Chiefs favor with the world watching in 2 weeks.

There were 2 pretty obvious bad calls that were reviewed and went in the Chiefs favor. The completion where the ball clearly hit the ground and the Allen 4th down play, in my eyes he made it (one official marked that he had indeed made it).

The personal foul when Mahomes was running into the endzone was also trash. If that was a running back no one would think twice about that being a penalty, that is just regular football.

I feel a bit ill watching this game between the #Chiefs and the #Bills. If it's a close call, and sometimes even if it's not, the refs are giving the call to the Chiefs!

Looks like he has been very busy on #libbitcoin. I was unable to get the current release running on an up to date distro but I'll give it another try following a new release.

It works.

Agree. #Bitcoin succeedes with a friendly or hostile state. However, if the state is hostile there will be consciences for some hodlers. If the state just leaves us alone I will be happy.

I run a mainnet Dojo and have for years on Fedora. It hasn't been too bad. The biggest problem has been Fedora updates changing Docker behavior.

You can use my Dojo if it doesn't work out but then you are trusting your xpub to me which isn't the preferred setup.

I just setup a testnet Dojo and was thinking about putting the QR up on Nostr so that people that wanted to play around with Ashigaru could try it out with minimal effort.

A more complete summary of events:

I can only say that the investigation was not on the up and up. This was the guy that received the payment from who ever operated the Dread Pirate Roberts account (possibly even himself):

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-dea-agent-sentenced-extortion-money-laundering-and-obstruction-related-silk-road

There are logs showing that the Dread Pirate Roberts account tried to hire a hitman. There were known to be multiple people who had access to the account including possibly the corrupt DEA agent who was put in prision for embezzling Bitcoin related to this investigation. There was a login to the account after Ross was in custody.

It would have been impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ross was the one who ordered the hit however the judge did reference the ordered hit during the sentencing. His sentence seemed intentionally punitive in an attempt to scare people away from Bitcoin.

Ross was never tried for this and it was almost certainly a baseless acusation to destroy his reputation. Obviously these acusations still follow him today. This is how these people opperate. Potentially these acusations had some affect on Ross receiving his insanely long sentance for running a website.

Here is an article discussing this in further detail after the charges were dropped:
