My dream last night told me that this bit of code was overcomplicated when there's a much simpler way to do it

Hrm. 28 blocks in and specter wallet on my Start9 shows “Unconfirmed”. 🤔

Maybe I should stop using Specter…

Can someone summarize this for dummies like me?

Yes, you can use the two keys you control to sign and broadcast a transaction from Sparrow.

This is a huge part of our value proposition: interoperability means you aren’t reliant on Unchained to spend from your vault.

FYI: To create a parallel wallet in Sparrow (i.e. exact same wallet that can see all transactions and could be used to send txs on your own using your two keys):

* download the "Wallet configuration file" from Unchained

* import that json file into Sparrow via File -> Import Wallet -> "Caravan Multisig"

Last cycle pods had more thought leaders, this cycle they have more builders.

The ability to critically think on the subject of #China is no longer present. It is a highly emotive subject matter and one where biases exist and seek to be confirmed. Irony, though, is clearly not to be recognized as part of any such debate. Case in point; virtually everyone I speak with quickly stresses how China operates an increasingly centralised monitoring and control apparatus where all activities fall under the watchful eye of the CCP. This is very much a fact and actually has been for a long while. The difference today is simply that the digital world has made the process far more invasive and easier to execute on.

But here is what is never considered. You see, the average Chinese citizen is very well aware of the current environment. As noted above, it is nothing new. The system is in place and the citizenry know that their garden is well and truly walled. This then brings us to the need to address (mixing metaphors) the ironic elephant in the room.

Have these very same people asking me this question come to the realisation that the same walled garden exists in both American and Europe? You should see the reactions when I ask that question. Pure disdain. As an aside, this is normally were I am ad hominem attacked and called a “panda hugger”. Carrying on, clearly other jurisdictions are nowhere near (yet) the same dystopian level as China, but State “oversight” among these liberal democracies is no longer in doubt. Here’s the critical difference. Unlike their Chinese counterpart, the average American blithely chooses cognitive dissonance.

What is more frightening? Knowing openly the truth and working to navigate that system OR believing that a system operates one way when, in reality, that belief system couldn’t be further from the truth?

Either way, freedom tech for the win #[1]

Just did my annual recovery practice so I don’t forget how to access my coin with time.

Everyone should practice backing up their seed phrase(s) and recreating access to your Btc. My worst fear is to “forget” about it and end up losing it.
