Lots of memories. Getting old, LoL. nostr:note1rwnsqna4h2n0wmhezrwaf2h56jueggyap0ayy2gsq6gpvqdzdwhq094ylp

Is there an end-to-end solution to sell digital products on Nostr as of yet? #asknostr

Anytime, anywhere.

Nostr confession: Having witnessed the rise and fall of dogecoin & platforms like ChangeTip, I am skeptical about the sustainability and usefulness of social micro-tipping. I'd love to be proven wrong over time; but if the value being given is real, the cognitive load for continually, arbitrarily & voluntarily giving away many, many tiny chunks of money is just too high to sustain after the novelty wears off. Less-frequent, higher value tips offered for exceptional circumstances or content may be more sustainable, but penny-shaving "like" equivalents don't make sense to me.

Indeed...

I was contacted by an individual asking about a Chinese-language version of SeedSigner. The individual also shared some insights about the current legal status of bitcoin in China:

SeedSigner is all about getting people to that cold storage finish line; I *love* seeing messages like this.

Love it. nostr:note1t6e26t90266zqqdkw6x52krx58087lqsfx4cfamae22cqjf3e68scl963f

Is there a strong case against only using nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl as your signing devices? So far I can't see no downside. Supply chain attack = unlilely + nowbody knows you even have it. Anything I'am overlooking?

Everything has tradeoffs, but if you're comfortable verifying the authenticity of the software and know what safeguards make sense to protect your key(s), myself and many others see this as a very reasonable approach. With reproducible builds coming very soon, the assurances get even better.

We do make periodic updates to our software to release new features & fix bugs, but those are 100% optional. Many are happy with the functionality after they've built a signer and familiarized themselves with it, and may not choose to update until newly released features are compelling to them, if ever.

This is good perspective and some nuance that even those who are new to bitcoin can grasp.

If you think trusted third parties are security holes, corporate hardware wallets also have to fall into that category.

IMHO, it's just tradeoffs all the way down.
