Happy new year!

My fiat job sucks, I've got no passion for it. I will work for a Bitcoin company/project this decade no doubt.

perform trustless swaps with nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 from your kyc exchange to your custody (preferably a lightning wallet; imagine cash app to alby) then Boltz Exchange to swap to liquid, then on liquid boltz exchange to cold storage or peg out to cold storage using an elements node or sideswap. viola kyc free sats in cold storage from cash app spending less than 1k sats.

Pretty good tip, it would work better if there was more than transactions on Liquid. Right now, there's unfortunately not much of a crowd to have privacy.

BTC/USD pumping harder on Coinbase vs Bitfinex. Flight to the safety of BTC

Care to expand? Does covenant do something similar to Liana or obsoletes it?

Once we reach mass adoption, if the majority of Bitcoiners use something like Liana for store their coins, where you need to move your coins once a year to reset the timelock, I think you'd have enough block space demand for a healthy fee market.

### Huge COLDCARD Mk4 Release! Version 5.1.0

## New Features

- "MicroSD card as Second Factor". Specially marked MicroSD card must be

already inserted when (true) PIN is entered, or else seed is wiped. Add, remove and check

cards in menu: `Settings -> Login Settings -> MicroSD 2FA`

- Import TAPSIGNER encrypted backup as main or ephemeral seed, for PSBT signing.

This is a great way to **safely** use the key previously held inside a TAPSIGNER, because

the COLDCARD can take over the signing that used to be done by the card.

- Detached Bitcoin signature files for most exports.

- Files exported are now signed with a detached signature. Look for a `.sig` file

with the same name, and verify signature with your favourite Bitcoin tools.

See "Signed Exports" in `docs/msg-signing.md` for more information.

- Coldcard can now verify signed files:

- SD card and Virtual disk `Advanced/Tools -> File Management -> Verify Sig File`

- NFC `Advanced/Tools -> NFC Tools -> Verify Sig File`

- [Learn more here](https://coldcard.com/docs/sign-text-file#signed-exports)

- Related new website: [Check your Bitcoin signatures here](https://checkmsg.org/)

## Enhancements

- Address Explorer:

- Application-specific derivation paths in `Address Explorer -> Applications`

- Bugfix: Change value was ignored when generating addresses file

- Imports:

- Add import multisig wallet via Virtual Disk

- Add import extended private key via Virtual Disk and via NFC

- Import seed in compact/truncated form (just 3-4 letters of each seed word)

- Import extended private key as ephemeral seed

- Export:

- Samourai POST-MIX and PRE-MIX descriptor export options added

- Lily Wallet added

- Ability to export all supported wallets via NFC (instead of SD card only)

- Change electrum export file name from 'new-wallet.json' to 'new-electrum.json'

- Allow export of Wasabi skeleton for Bitcoin Regtest.

- Backup Enhancement:

- Option to save the backup file's encryption password for next backup. Then next

backup is quick and simple: no need to record yet another 12 words.

- During seed generation from dice rolls, enforce at least 50 rolls

for 12 word seeds, and 99 rolls for 24 word seeds. Statistical distribution check

- Single signature wallet generic descriptor export

`Advanced -> Export Wallet -> Descriptor`. Both new format with internal/external

in one descriptor `<0;1>` and standard with two descriptors are supported.

added to prevent users from generating low-entropy seeds by rolling same value repeatedly.

- Docs: Add `docs/rolls12.py` script for verifying dice rolls math for 12 word seeds.

## Bug Fixes

- Offer import/export from/to Virtual Disk in UI even if SD Card is inserted.

- Recalculate extended key saved in settings upon chain change (BTC, XTN, XRT).

- Provide correct derivation path (m/84'/1'/0') for testnet Wasabi export.

- Properly display UX checkmark only if testnet (XTN, XRT) is enabled

in `Settings- > Danger Zone -> Testnet Mode`.

Thx Craig Raw ✌️

Absolutely. Feeling like I got more out of eden than what I paid too. 😎

I'm a nobody and I want to keep it that way I guess.

I see people talk about no-KYC BTC purchase, but it always seemed so complicated. Either you are sending money via fiat rails to randoms and will likely get flagged or you do a F2F which brings physical risk. If you on-ramp via an exchange, I feel that you'd be hiding more with the crowd.

As for spending, I probably want to pull out as much fiat as I put in. Just don't want to deal with spreadsheets for all my expenses, possible exit tax, and/or EO-6102.

What do you guys think about using an exchange to buy USDT and then USDT to buy BTC via hodlhodl/bisq/atomicswaps? Is that a more private way to acquire BTC? 🤔

I hear stories of companies offering their retired workers 5x their old hourly rate to implement new features in COBOL.

#[0] bought me a nostrplebs NIP-05. Happy customer 😁

This is a neat idea. I need to figure out how do I find people to follow.
