The baby Bitcoiner boom has me thinking about my favorite tips for visiting someone with a newborn. In no particular order, they are:

- Surprises are lovely but now is not the time. When in doubt, ask what the family needs. For me it was a shower, a nap, and a DoorDash gift card.

- Bring diapers! One small pack of sizes 1, 2, and 3 each. Growth spurts happen so quickly. They outgrow diapers fast and it’s nice to have the next size on hand.

- Don’t bring anything that could potentially create more work. For example, don’t bring a bouquet of flowers unless they are already cut and in a vase.

- Hold the baby during the witching hour. In the late afternoon and evening there is a block of time where newborns are often inconsolable and screeching their heads off. Instead of visiting when the baby is taking a nice long nap and mom could be catching up on sleep, offer to come give everyone a break later in the day.

- Bring your own snacks. Better yet, bring snacks for everyone, especially if mom is breastfeeding.

- if there are siblings, don’t just bring a gift for the baby! Be sure to include them too. It doesn’t have to be anything special. Someone once told me even a granola bar is an acceptable toddler gift, hah!

That’s my list, but everyone is different! Shoutout to my girl Quay who just became an aunt and asked about many of these things. What did I miss? What are your favorite do’s and don’ts?

Depends on whether or not you have any reason to think the seed could be compromised. The question is about forward secrecy. Do you feel confident that the device will never (until you someday move the funds) be compromised? Maybe a flaw in an MDU or secure element is found some day.

Ledger? Probably a good idea now. Don't trust them. Trezor? Doesn't have a secure element so also probably a good idea. Coldcard and you destroyed the secure elements? Probably fine. Is it one key of a multisig? Also probably fine.

Creating a new keys is more secure. For extremely secure, think about creating the keys, using a coin or a dice.

Here is my guide, based on what I did in an experiment of sample size 1:

Do high protein, extremely low carb (keto). Eat plenty of salt and whole food low carb, high protein things like beef, broccoli, fish, eggs, soybeans, spinach, organ meats, almonds, whatever, to get you into the fasted state. You can also eat these during your fast as a crutch if full-on fasting is too much (this food actually keeps you in the fasted state and does not break the fast, so it's not a cheat). Track everything with an app called cronometer, and set your protein requirement high. It's fine if you don't hit the target since the goal is to fast.

Drink water and have some salt with every meal and through the day. You will lose a lot of water weight for the first week or so. Fast or do keto for at least 10 days for a good solid benefit. I would recommend a month. When you eat keto and are in the fasted state, you will barely even feel like eating. Makes it easier to jump to a full-blown fast. If while fasting you start to get a headache or have strong cravings for greens or fish or almonds or beef or whatever, eat it. Your body knows what you need. Headache can also come from a lack of salts and water.

You can also do things like one meal a day, but I don't recommend that unless you're eating high protein low carb. It's not very beneficial otherwise and can lead to headaches and metabolic swings if you eat a lot of carbs and not enough protein, and you get no benefit out of that. I got into a rhythm of eating 2 to 3 meals one day with about 2200 Calories, and 1 meal the next with only 1500 Calories, on repeat. My maintenance Caloric intake is considerably above 2200. I lost about a kilogram of fat per week and actually gained muscle, gained better mood, better energy, better focus, gained all kinds of things.

At the end of your fast, if you feel like you want to eat carbs again, and you don't want to watch Black Tie Kitchen on YouTube for lower carb recipes for the same foods, then simply gradually introduce a little complex carbs into the mix and eat whenever you are hungry, which will start being more often again. Introduce sugar last.

Hava and DietDoctor.com on YouTube have the best stuff out there regarding nutrition science for fasting, low carb, and high satiety eating. They were both founded by the same guy, and they take two different but related appraoches to eating healthy. DietDoctor is more geared toward being in the fasted state.

"since B already has a seed" - Confirm you have set the seed on your own, please.

"I cannot just recover sats from A into B" - if wallet B is still empty (zero sats) you can factory reset the device and restore wallet A seed words in it.

"However, if I never set up B, I could setup and just recover using the A seed phrase on a nee device, but then any other sats would need to be sent to B" - in that case, device A & device B are showing the same wallet. Both devices will receive the sats, sent to one of the addresses. It works similar to your email. You can send/read/write emails on your phone or laptop, using the same email address.

The main question is: why are you changing the devices? If it's because you don't trust the wallet A, restoring the wallet in device B doesn't make sense. It's always much more secure to always generate new keys (seed words).

There is one. It's called fasting. Nobody want to take it seriously because it doesn't make money.

Damus is dropping relays from my list. I keep having to add relays back from list I keep.

Anybody else?

Some people do not understand absolute scarcity and it shows.

People saying the ETF is a sell the news event seem highly regarded

Thanks man, let us know how we did!

WE NOTE IN CAPS.

WE LIKE THE COIN.

WE STACK THE SATS. 🫡

Super excited today. Just tee'd up a bulk purchase of milk with my local convenience store/restaurant/espetada/talho/bar guy. I am cursing myself that I asked his name and forgot it before I was 5 metres out the door. I need to learn my portuguese better, but I'll get to that soon.

Full fat milk is a huge pain to get at most retailers, they always have predominantly half fat, skim, lactose free, and then whole/fat milk, in approximately that order of volume on the shelf.

Milk without at least 3.6% fat is not milk. I might be interested in the lactose free, maybe, but it's not full fat milk.

So, I'm gonna have my whole month's supply stacked up in a few days time.

It's Mimosa brand, at this point, but I have found it to be tolerable. Probably the majority of them are all the same and actually most of the Azores milk is grass fed - the place rains a lot so it makes sense, why bring in grain on a ship when you can just let the ladies wander in the paddocks. I'm not sure now, I forget whether Mimosa's is Azores but most of it here is. I think in fact only the supermarket brands Continente and Pingo Doce are from the mainland.

Makes sense, really, why would people in this place want to pay for more transport than they need to? Property prices are so inflated here, due to the tourist industry and the subject of autonomy from Portugal is so frequent on newspapers I could take a photo of a pile of them thrown on the side of a concrete wall just 50m from my place with the word "autonomia" loudly screaming at me. The terrain demands everyone have their own cars and motorcycles, and the fuel costs are pretty high these days. As if madeirans are gonna be ok with expensive food as well. There's plenty of poor people here. This is latin europe after all. Egalitarian and all that.

I say what I see. Fight me.
