Bought my daughter #EV #driving #lessons.

10years ago I’d have bought manual but circumstances have changed,

A - I refuse to buy #fossil fuels anymore

B - Even the “smokers” / hybrid smokers are automatic now.

Be the change #climate

The best whisky I ever had was Jura Elixir

They don’t make it anymore

I’ve been searching for the elixir ever since

But KYC comes from the trail of breadcrumbs back to where you bought it from.

WoS is great I use it.

I think 🧐Phoenix is custodial & No KYC

In the shed

In the dark

With 🍺

And single malt #whisky (Jura 15Yo)

Go here, there is nothing.

Mostly yes except last bit.

There is no possible way for Ledger/ government to edit the firmware of the Ledger hardware device to make it export your Private Keys (assuming it can’t do that already, we don’t know because not FOSS)

It could be a genius move on behalf of Ledger cos people don’t trust them selves with private keys or the creation of a huge point of centralised failure. I believe the latter b/c if it can be fucked with it will be fucked with by bad actors/ gov.

Bottom line.

Sparrow & Cold card good b/c both are FOSS

Trust no one

Anyone still thinks #hydrogen is a good way of making use of stranded wind or solar? Using it as #electricity in an #EV, #heatpump or to displace #coal reduces #emissions by 2-9x. Even if curtailment reaches *50%*, there is no #climate case for H2. Stop daydreaming, build #transmission!

Sparrow -on its own- used as a hot wallet is no safer than any other hot wallet because the Private Keys are stored on a computer connected to the internet.

Hardware wallets are considered safe(er) .The keys are on the hardware wallet cannot leave the device. Or that’s what we thought. Ledger announced it would be offering 3rd party key storage as a service. After previously denying it was even possible to export them.

Ledger live “could” be exporting the keys, or “could” force a firmware up grade that could export the PKs, but as it’s not Fully Open Source nobody can verify this. Unlike Cold card.

What if the government walked into Ledger head office and mandated exposing all Private Keys ?

Well now we don’t have to use Ledger Live - Sparrow (& others) can interact with Ledger hardware wallet without a forcing firmware upgrade.

I used the Sparrow / #Ledger combo last night, I think now I’m more used to it, it’s as easy as #LedgerLive / Ledger combo.

Not reusing addresses is always good practice. For example if you combine #KYC and No KYC coins you just KYC your No KYC stash.

I think the good thing about #Sparrow is you can use it for different hardware wallets, so you only need to learn a different interface every time.

I’m at the limits of my knowledge hear, so when I need tutorials I generally brush up by watching nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 tutorial vids.

Basically Ledger have lost a lot of trust because -

They’re are not Fully Open Source

There is a possibility they export your private keys🚩🚩🚩🚩 (as not Open Source we really don’t know)

They sometimes force you to upgrade the firmware when using Ledger Live.

They shitcoin big time.

Possibility of regulatory capture

No coin/utxo control (that I’ve seen)
