Is this useful to you? How can we make it better?

Spy on your own wallets network activity.
Some essential characteristics of Branta.
Alignment:
- Open Source
- Helps users be sovereign by safely getting into Cold Storage
- Wallets supported are all nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f funded projects, in line with ethos
Uniqueness:
- Branta acts as Guardrails for being a Sovereign Individual
- Does not touch private keys or make transactions
- At the Nexus of Wallets, Exchanges, and Signing devices
Finally, Bitcoin is either in motion or at rest.
At Rest / In Custody:
Phase 1: Hardcoded PGP-verified SHAs: Good for offline devices only.
Phase 2: API based SHAs. Okay for short term.
Phase 3: NOSTR Web of Trust integration. Likely can endure.
In Motion:
Where are you sending your #Bitcoin? We're solving this next.
We're building Branta for the Bitcoiners (we are all satoshi).
1. Launch Sparrow; instant notification of wallet PGP status
2. Monitor inbound/outbound IP connection Sparrow is making:
170.75.162.55 --> Lunanode Hosting Inc.
104.22.78.164 --> Cloudflare, Inc.
103.165.192.203 --> Mempool Space K.K.
93.95.231.89 --> RIPE NCC
Information is your friend.
Security & convenience are usually tradeoffs
#Branta is unique because it's designed to optimize both at the same time
