Haven't tried Jade yet. Will collect them all at this rate :)
Sparrow is amazing for sure.
My personal favorite. But maybe not for everyone. There are more user friendly options out there.
If they use Android: Minibits
If they use iPhone: Primal
Optimizing for them having a ready to go Nostr receive address to spend and receive zaps and bootstrap themselves into the bitcoin ecosystem. Can worry about on-chain, cold storage, multisig etc LONG after they orange pill themselves with Nostr zaps.
Maybe the sats button should be that orange colour that you used, and the USD side of the toggle should maybe be a green colour? ( for the "greenback")? So you can tell if you are in digital gold mode or digital fiat mode.
Looks great to me.
Is it VHDL?
Hardware description language?
Braiins pool just enabled lightning withdrawals for everyone.
I was able to withdraw (less than the usual payout threshold) to my ecash/nostr powered minibits.cash address!
This Ecash wallet is already improving the overall experience for this super small scale home miner! Where it might take years to hit the normal payout threshold with a few winter-only space heaters.
With inspiration from nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx we finally got our show splits working! Every time you listen to our show on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 and stream or boost sats to nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld, 10% goes straight to nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f node 🧡

Looks cool. Zapped.
PSA:
The non-KYC way to buy bitcoin with physical cash at any Canada Post ends when the post offices close today at (Sunday April 14th)
The service (loadhub->bullbitcoin) will still be there, but you will have to show ID starting April 15th.
2hrs left on central time (UTC-6).
Ok some areas for you to look at first:
1. Digital Modes: Have you explored digital modes like PSK31, JT65, or FT8? These modes involve encoding data into audio signals for transmission, which you can decode using software on your computer. It’s a great way to marry your programming skills with radio communication.
2. Software-Defined Radio (SDR): SDR technology opens up a world of possibilities. Consider tinkering with SDR hardware like RTL-SDR dongles and developing software to analyze and process radio signals. There’s so much you can do in terms of signal processing and visualization.
3. DIY and Homebrewing: Building your own radios, antennas, and accessories is a fantastic way to learn and experiment. Whether you’re designing custom circuits or optimizing antenna performance, there’s no shortage of projects.
4. Satellite Communication: Ever thought about reaching out to satellites? Satellite communication involves tracking satellites, designing antennas, and mastering operating techniques.
To get started
ARRL Technicians License HandBook
ARRL General License Handbooks
“Ham radio crash course” on YouTube
1. Radio recommendations are hard, if your interests fall into the above at your cost points I would look at xeigu G90 or other Xeigu models.
2. Plus Digirig cables.
3. Make your own antenna with a wire soldered to coax connectors.
4. Coax
I think that would be about $500, a little over
For $200ish I would do
1. the ARRL handbooks
2. QDX Transceiver http://qrp-labs.com/qdx Or other from qrp labs.
3. Make your own antennas
4. Coax
Final bits:
RTL Dongles and that genre are good for listening across the bands before you have your license to transmit and pretty cheap. Check out SDR++
Get plugged into a nearby club membership may get you loner equipment and regular participation will speed up learning.
Thank you very much! That is a tonne of great places to start.
I am very interested in what I've seen of software defined radio for sure. But most of those other acronyms I will have to lookup.
Thanks again. Bookmarking this thread for future reference.
If you are Evan dot best,
I will be Evan dot third best,
(because there is no second best) 🥁
School: Going back to school for computer science.
Fiat day job: Tech support.
Hobbies: Home pleb miner. Electronics tinkerer.
When I was a kid, my grandfather had a room full of ham radio equipment and a huge tower antenna in the yard. We could talk to people from all over the world. Years before we internet. Didn't appreciate how cool that technology really was as a 5 year old.
Emergency communication method?
Fun?
Learn a new skill?
Want to finally get into ham radio this year. What's a $200 starter kit look like? Or a $500 starter kit.
Shill me books to read, educators to subscribe to.
