Building https://npub.cash 🥜 Working on awesome nostr, cashu and Lightning stuff 💜⚡️

GM! Beautiful morning at Bitcoin Zitadelle 🏰☀️

Day 0 is over, will try to share some more impressions from Day 1 today 🤙

Happy to kick off Bitcoin Zitadelle 24 with a beer paid for using Cashu / nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj

Mhhhh sooo nutty 🥜

Yep. 🙌🏻 No need to register. It’s gonna be a chill workshop / open conversation so feel free to bring some questions as well

Coming to Bitcoin Zitadelle next week and want to learn more about Cashu? I will be hosting a 1 hour workshop there, covering the protocol, its details and its roots 🙌🏻

It’s going to be nuts 🥜💜

Even better: a CLI tool that takes in your nsec, gets an ansible config from your profile and sets up your dev machine for you. nostr:note18tp3qvuzelnndlvp5ll4z7lq008vhfut6y53e0skc44p7cldr6dsmpurlp

Right now I am using Cherry browns, but I have not started to experiment around yet. Can you recommend some?

Actually I thought I could never build a keyboard myself, but soldering it turned out to be pretty easy and so much fun!

However there are many enthusiasts around the world who sell prebuilt keyboards as well. I ordered in the EU from 42keebs. They do offer a soldering service too.

I switched to a ortho/ergo split keyboard with 36 keys two weeks ago and I absolutely love it.

It forced me to drastically improved my touch typing. After two weeks I am now back at 55 wpm, but I feel like the ceiling got raised quite a bit and I should be able to hit 70wpm soon. Navigation is also quicker because mods are very easily reachable and even harder combos like Option + CTRL + Shift + 2 (My window manager uses that one) are a breeze.

My posture has improved greatly. It’s way easier to sit straight when your arms are body wide apart and not cramped right in front of you. Of course my wrists are straight and there is no reach (I use a reduced layout where the outer most column is unused so every key is maximum one key away).

The best thing about it? It’s DIY and open source. I learned about keyboards, matrixes, and soldering along the way. It’s a big big W

Everywhere I go I see little banners advertising financing for “regular purchases”… no wonder people have an ill relationship to money.

If you can not afford it, you can not afford it…

I would argue that the key that deterministicly derives all your other keys can not have “enough” entropy

GM 💜 touch grass and enjoy it ☀️

This is true for every single derived key, yes. However if your parent key is the source for many different key sets (as it is the case with bip-85) the strength of the parent is most important

How do you define “enough”? If anyone where to use BIP-85 for their whole key setup i would definitely recommend getting 24 words

Yes! Usually I do not recommend using a passphrase, but if you do this you should have one IMHO

It can be used to encrypt / decrypt messages (for e2ee messages like email), but also for signing data. For example code I commit to repositories is signed using my gpg key. If you want to verify that a commit was indeed pushed by me, you can verify the signature on it.

Many developers sign their releases as well. For example when you download Sparrow Wallet you can get an additional signature file to verify that the release was indeed created by nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2
