Single income mom friend just got laid off. The hard times are here, just not widely recognized.
Check out our latest Frostsnap prototypes.

Welcome to the future of #bitcoin self-custody β
https://frostsnap.com/demo.mp4
Frostsnap is a mobile-first hardware wallet π²
Begin your self-custody journey by plugging Frostsnap devices into your phone and naming them via the Frostsnap app.
Choose a security threshold and begin key generation to easily set up a multisig wallet in a matter of seconds.
In this demo we create a 2-of-3 multisig between the devices. A threshold of two means we need any two of the three devices to sign in order to spend funds from the wallet. βοΈπ
Daisy-chained Frostsnap devices participate in distributed key generation, each contributing entropy to a joint secret shared across multiple devices.
No single device knows the overall secret, only a fragment.
You, the user, can easily verify the key was created securely β
After creating a new key, you can hide your Frostsnap devices in different locations or share them among people you trust. ποΈποΈπ¨ββοΈ
When it comes time to make a bitcoin transaction or sign a Nostr post under your Frostsnap key, you must sign on multiple devices.
Frostsnap is crafting a whole new Bitcoin experience,
And we're fixing the problems of self-custody today:
security, accessibility, cost, and privacy.
Frostsnap is making #bitcoin ownership easy, personalized, and secure.
Stay Frosty βοΈ
During the message signing part, it looks like there is only a cancel button option on the screen. Will users be able to sign the PSBT with one device, save it, and close out the app while they travel to the location of the next signing device?
They switched to FPPS from PPLNS due to market pressure because all other large miners uses FPPS. This is a move away from transparency.
Actually, nostr:npub1gm7tuvr9atc6u7q3gevjfeyfyvmrlul4y67k7u7hcxztz67ceexs078rf6 said it best. More pools, especially with low switching costs, is the big win. BTW with OCEAN you need to stick around for 8 blocks to get the full payout iirc. So the switching costs are not that low...
Braiins used to talk big about open source then they did a 180 and quietly closed their source code. They also use FPPS which lets them do shit like keep out of band fees for themselves w/o compensating the miners. I don't know if they have abused this power but nothing is stopping them.
DEMAND also recently announced they will launch with Sv2 support like the same day OCEAN went live and everyone collectively shrugged and started yelling about OCEAN. All the other pools are more or less the same: KYC & FPPS. More pools presenting more options is better, exactly like Luke said.
Ocean does a lot of things different from most miners. They use PPLNS (tweaked and renamed TIDES) which makes payouts transparent and fair. You can mine directly to a bitcoin address (no account, no kyc).
Everybody is angry about censoring inscriptions. Big whoop, who cares? Y'all don't even like inscriptions.
I am genuinely confused by the coinjoin censoring. Why does whirlpool need an 80 byte op_return? (Apparently they don't.) Why does knots censor it? (Luke just stonewalls everyone on this point.) Seems like dumb decisions all around.
Overall, a kyc free mining pool with fair and transparent payouts is a massive win. Everybody else uses PPS which reduces miner payout variance and gives the pool full control over blocks and profits. Censorship is a big problem if all pools censor the same stuff. If they all censor different stuff it is not really a problem. Ocean is a net positive. With Sv2 the censorship will be a non issue.
Its very helpful. But you can't trust it.
I like to walk around and look at Christmas lights. They seem more muted this year.
I'm just trying to earn an honest day's wages by getting this LLM to write my code for me but it just keeps cranking out buggy code! (β―Β°β‘Β°)β―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
antennapod works pretty well
The cleanup operation after the parade is equally impressive. There is no cleanup operation for brc20s. That trash sits in the utxo set forever.
There are religious nutjobs in charge of hospitals that are hell bent on male genital mutilation. I don't doubt it.
When we were in the maternity ward the nurses asked us about a dozen times if we were ABSOLUTELY sure we didn't want a circumcision. Every shift rotation they tried to mutilate my son's penis. I came π€ this close to shouting the nurses out of the room. Fortunately, we escaped the hospital without incident.
I was just joking. I published a duplicate article and was also unable to delete it. #justnostrthings
I accidentally plagiarized nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv today π
I didnβt write that Lightning article, I did copy paste it as a demo for a client Iβm building and wanted to have real content instead of Loren Ipsums,
I accidentally published the article beyond my test relay ππ
just use the delete button
tfw you finally get a 26.0 peer but they haven't enabled encrypted messaging
I'm really hoping to catch a BIP324 node so we can share encrypted p2p data. Y'all need to upgrade ur nodes!
