Running Bitcoin and Nostr

I was approached for a position at Ledger related to my fiat job some years ago.

I told the recruiter the position was an interesting one , but I would have only joined if I could work on a bitcoin-only signing device. I tried to orangepill the guy and told him how Ledger would become irrelevant without such a product, that crypto is a scam, that new multi-sig was coming, that new promising hardware was coming, that competition was getting fiercer, and that it was a good moment for ledger to make a move and retain their number 1 spot for years to come.

The guy patiently listened to me, then started laughing and told me he bought an apartment in Paris thanks to Shiba Inu.

There, I understood Ledger is like Coinbase. They will never support bitcoin because their interests are elsewhere. They focus on shitcoins, they focus on staking, they focus on shiny new products to show off to your friends. They are the opposite of our culture and all that is so rooted into their core, they can’t change anymore.

Look at Ledger’s new hardware designed by the iPod Apple guy and that allows you to SHOW YOUR NFT TO EVERYBODY, without unlocking your device. I mean, who would do that?! That’s where Ledger is going, and that’s why it shouldn’t be proposed to people interested in bitcoin, despite all the money they throw at you (that’s for you nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx ) nostr:note1zyp8y87g37l8khk9wkmzfk0hf3vuhxacervy4esyg0f7ygu5zqgqecggzq

Are there workarounds to enable zaps for Damus on iphones? I think I read something but can’t find it anymore.

Always double check where you install Wasabi from. Fake domains are popping up like 🍄 nostr:note1v329plvfxmnwjw488jjsp9ncyqlfv7jm5e7at98llmanat0xj69sr4e4zc

Welcome new bitcoiners.

You will transition from “when should I buy” to “should I ever sell” sooner than you realize.

Even a companion app like the shitcoin friendly Ledger Live limits the collection of identifiable data. Today it is possible to collect high quality data points to improve your products while minimizing the impact on your users.

I’ll DM you and help you out achieve it.

Just to clarify: peer to peer transactions are NOT illegal and non custodial wallets, self-hosted software and signing devices are excluded from the new AML Regulation.

We might face restrictions paying with non KYCed funds to established businesses, but that was to be expected (and there will be some workarounds).

Looking forward to trying the #bitkey, but are all these trackers really necessary?

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m or anyone in the Bitkey team, can some of the data below at least NOT be linked to an identifiable ID?

Thanks for the cheap sats folks

Bitcoin at $70k is massively undervalued

Looking forward to testing a proper Firefox browser on iPhone. #iOS17.4

Or any kind of system security/ security assurance. I want to see you all succeed.

Reminder:

Invest in signing devices done by companies that DON’T waste their resources on compatibility with cRyPtO.

#Bitcoin is hard enough,100% of the effort should be dedicated to it.
