Now you've mentioned one of my passions... Waves are very special to me... Do you like to surf?🤔🧐😄💜🫂💖😁❔
I LOVE libraries...
My Mom started taking me at the age of two.😃 Your photo and prose capture that mystical ambiance very well...🫂😄💖😁🎇
I usually take a billion photos of everything, so i can't believe this is the *only* shot I got at the SeedSigner booth.🤔🧐😮
Maybe it was because I was having such a good time chatting with the man who came up with the SeedSigner architecture?😆 (NOTE: He's right here on nostr). nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uwarz0u has created a brilliant tool that DOESN'T do a lot of things.
The SeedSigner *doesn't* connect to the internet. It doesn't store your bitcoin private keys. It doesn't cost a fortune, or hide any secrets of how it works. It doesn't take an expert to build it at home from off-the-shelf parts (I've built three so far). And it *doesn't* store your private keys in some device or memory or format that's questionably secure. In fact, it doesn't store your private keys at all! When you disconnect the power, your private keys disappear with the vanishing electricity.
What DOES this amazing device do? I'll let you explore that for yourself at https://SeedSigner.com , but I will say I've been blown away by how easy it is to use and how capably it secures my bitcoin.
I was blessed by my brief visit with nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uwarz0u . He's still learning and inventing, and is a keen observer of the world of bitcoin. We tried exchanging Cashu tokens, but perhaps our eCash wallets weren't quite in tune?🤔
Prolific SeedSigner dev Keith Mukai was also at the booth, but I missed my chance to chat with him... Shoutout to nostr:nprofile1qqs9kr5d5m7lhfnrqwrfpvmay9kcx3dxy0xr8cg34lg0ww8dw7ftc4qprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyt8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndd9kx7afwd3hkctc0axsam, and thanks for all you're doing.🙏🏻
I've even heard rumors that the SeedSigner might one day support signing "notes and other stuff."
Now for a brief parentheses in my collection of short bitcoin2024 tales...
How is it that I ended up in Nashville attending this amazing conference to begin with?🤔
Unbeknownst to me, it all started when I entered a songwriting contest sponsored by the event. Presumably because of the Nashville venue, a "Bitcoin Record" was in the works, and I submitted "Asymmetric Liberty" in the hope of seeing it chosen for the special platter.

I was quite surprised when, even though my song didn't make it "on the record," the conference comped me an Industry ticket to the event...
I just HAD to go, and I'm so glad I did.🙏🏻💖😁
Sounds like a skill I need to learn from you, Brother. 🤔😁🙏🏻💖
And everyone still participating in this ritual HAS to be under a spell, in abject denial of what your sarcasm reveals...😳
Or worse, knowingly complicit in the oppressive deception.🤬
Thanks for the added word...
I think of nostr as the new "wild, wild West" of the internet; plenty of excitement to go around, lots of work needed, and something interesting for everyone to do who's willing to pitch in.😃
Hey, it was nice to meet you guys in Nashville. Thanks for answering my questions!🙏🏻😁💖👍
Will be passed along to those who need to hear.🙏🏻😁👍💖
#asknostr.... ...
Who's working on a nostr version of Kickstarter?🤔🧐😁😄❔❓💖
Hmmm...
Although I was present, I was studiously avoiding everything about this whole statist debacle. I'm only now learning about this amusing conference sidelight.🤣😂😁
Note the flying car in the background...🤔 And, that we don't have THOSE yet?🧐
The state LOVES the Portable Surveillance Devices, but HATES anything that would give us individual, unrestricted global mobility...
Nevertheless, we are on the threshold of that capability:

Awesome!
THANKS!!!😁💜🫂💖😆🚀🎇🙏🏻
It's not surprising that I forgot the final result of our test...😜 There was so much going on that day!😃
Friend, a bit of advice; try to avoid getting old! It does a number on your memory!😜🤣😂
nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv A few days ago I had a problem with the latest OTA update with Minibits, it now shows zero balance on all the three mints I had, plus the icon/avatar of the profile went back on using the first image it had when I installed the app the first time (the LN address seems to be correct), the app also forgot the mints. The transactions list is also displaying duplicated transactions with an error status (the actual correct transactions I had before are present). Then I tried to increase the index and also delete transactions with errors, but the balances are still zero. Today I tried to receive a LN payment using the minibits LN address and it completed successfully (sats is showing, yet no previous tokens are there), but I am getting a duplicated transaction in the list, with an error status saying "Error: Token already spent.". Sending also works and with no duplicated tx in the list.
Some other notes:
- For a brief time the wallet loaded everything and I could see the balances (with no changes on my side), but now is back into forget land
- I may have activated and deactivated local storage and encryption multiple time while I was playing around with the app in the recent days
Is anyone else experiencing this problem, is there a standard recovery process from here?
It was just a bunch of sats, so not a big deal, but I would like to solve this issue, Thanks.
Not exactly that, but I've had mixed results with Minibits...
One particular thing was LONG delays when receiving SATs... like they went to Mars and back on the way? Maybe half an hor or more?🤔
Digital Volt Meter?🤔
(Sorry, EE background...😜🤣)
Thanks for the Amen chorus... SeedSigner is truly a blessing to the bitcoin world.🙏🏻💖😆
And I should mention, BECAUSE it hodls no keys, when you're done using and unplug it, you can fearlessly loan it to the guy next to you to secure his bitcoin with.💖😆
You are more than welcome, Friend.🙏🏻😁💜🫂💖😆👍
For a fantastic explanation of pagan gods as demons, read Michael Heiser's book "The Unseen Realm."
It explains the proliferation of all the sick stuff we're seeing these days.
PS: I'm thankful for you, too. It was good meeting you at the show, and I hope we'll be able to have some online conversations as well.🙏🏻😆
