As the saying goes, it's those good intentions that keep the road-pavers in business...๐๐
I usually take a billion photos of everything, so i can't believe this is the *only* shot I got at the SeedSigner booth.๐ค๐ง๐ฎ
Maybe it was because I was having such a good time chatting with the man who came up with the SeedSigner architecture?๐ (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?๐ค
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.๐๐ป
I've even heard rumors that the SeedSigner might one day support signing "notes and other stuff."
I met and had a nice conversation with nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqcu9929, creator of the nostr Damus client for iOS. I don't use #Damus, but I've followed Will's Apple adventures with considerable interest.
Will kindly engaged in a wide-ranging conversation with me, which included a brief excursion into my personal fantasy plans to build a spaceship...

Not 100% fantasy, as you'll discover if you watch the video embedded in my article:
2nd, WITHOUT the shading on left and right (which makes it look smudged/dirty).
I prefer seeing the bottom horizontal line intersect the circle; this brackets the title better, and provides more of a foundation for the family tree planted in the earth.
I also (mostly) agree about the nested alternating tangent circles. They add to the foundation, but are mysterious...
" If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
Both better than "Suck it," amiright? ๐ค

What do you want to do with it?๐ค
I'm just fooling around with it, learning. I bought two different kinds of units in order to maximize my egimucation...๐๐ Got 'em on Amazon, but you can prolly do better pricewise if you shop around.
I've experimented a little sending Cashu over the mesh; I still have a lot to learn!

Good hot take, Friend!
Bitcoin is the BEST property EVER...
No inflation, no maintenance required, secure even from nation-states, unstoppable, peer to peer, transportable globally at lightspeed, untaxable when "done right."

I don't recall; are you the bar owner? Or, if you're "just" mixing and pouring, do you get a percentage?๐ค๐

Greetings, @august,
So nice to "meet" you here, and Thank You for your thoughtful interaction.๐๐ป๐
Much as I appreciate your reply (forgive me if I'm wrong about this), I suspect you have yet to read what I've written in either of the above articles?๐ง Thus drawing inaccurate conclusions about my position; not surprising because (if you've not yet read me) you've only encountered "the tip of the iceberg."๐
We actually AGREE that "nations" CLEARLY exist; that both Jesus and Paul speak of "governance;" and nations are CLEARLY a part of God's plan.
My use of the term "nation-state" is intentional. Are you aware that in most English translations of the New Testament, the Greek word แผฮธฮฝฮฟฯ (ethnos) is rather arbitrarily rendered either "nations" or "Gentiles?" (Please see the entry for "ethnos" in the article below).
https://peakd.com/conspiracy/@creatr/political-power-and-the-connotation-conspiracy
This flip-flop of terms has bent the theology of the English reader, causing most to conflate "the people" with "the government."
You and I are 100% in agreement that we see "the nations" (speaking of PEOPLE, elsewhere translated "Gentiles") worshipping God in the New Heavens and New Earth... It is "the governments," i.e. the "nation-states" that Scripture clearly and repeatedly tells us are satanically run organizations, and that Jesus is presently in the process of destroying.
> "I think you are reading the bible under the influence of ideology."
You know, I am tempted to conclude the same of you?๐คฃ But I would refer to your ideology as "traditions of men." As I've written about extensively, the traditional doctrines of most western churches are heavily biased by corrupt translations of the Scriptures toward unwarranted faith in nation-states.
> "This doesn't make sense in the full context of the New Testament."
Ah, but it ONLY makes sense in the full context. As I've studied the New Testament, it has become clear that it is actually a HANDBOOK for GOVERNMENT; just not for the KIND of governments we've grown up embedded in.
God has an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT governance structure in mind. Please compare and contrast "nation-states" with GOD's distributed, decentralized, government in which JESUS is "the blessed and ONLY Sovereign" as described here:
https://peakd.com/kingdom/@creatr/the-state-or-god-s-kingdom-a-comparison-chart
> "...clearly there's no intent to destroy them- at least not all of them."
Au contrare; please re-read Daniel 2? As well as several other passages cited in the above articles?๐ Jesus is destroying ALL the nations, except for the ONE nation Peter describes in his first letter:
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for Godโs own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." - 1 Peter 2:9
Thank you again--very sincerely--for responding. I'm more than glad to answer any additional questions you may have, especially after you've had a chance to read the above articles.๐๐ป๐๐
Mom, Sweetie, just walk up to them (whoever you might recognize?) and let 'em know that who you ARE from NOSTR... They'll be delighted to talk to you! If that doesn't work, tell'em your boy Duncan said they better treat you nice.๐ซ๐๐

Why Papal Bull Claiming Dominion Over You Still Matters https://kevskewl.wordpress.com/2016/02/06/why-papal-bull-claiming-dominion-over-you-still-matters/ via @kevskewl
No individual human or group of humans has any right to arbitrarily exercise dominion over other humans. Despite the false teaching of Catholicism and other apostate organizations claiming to be "Christian," Jesus and the entire Bible teach otherwise:

In fact, Jesus is in the process of dismantling and abolishing nation-states:
