Pay attention. Bitcoin is a clear signal from the future. The rest is noise.

@ProofOfMoney @Puncher522 Exploring the proof-of-non-existence. Beautiful!

Anyone can own Bitcoin because (drumroll)... it doesn't exist! You can't see it or touch it. That's both a criticism and a secret superpower. 👇540 beach-floating seconds about the magical gift of UTXOs.

@DrJackKruse @BTCPrague Beautiful! ❤️

Let me say this. If Andreas is open to it I will clear my schedule open my clinic to him now and get him here and fix him by @BTCPrague. If he doubts me, he is wise. But when I show him the truth he owes me one thing. Tell the world what happened by zoom in Prague. I can do it that fast. I would NEVER offer this to anyone else but him. It is my duty to what he did for humanity and Bitcoin. If he wants my help, I will do it no questions asked. He just needs to ASK.

Private money is not the future. It is the firewall. Study Bitcoin.

@ProofOfMoney Great post Terence. Render unto 316 what entropy would otherwise claim.

Nerd Alert! 🤓🧑‍🎓 A string of 256 1s and 0s is a PRIVATE KEY. That's it. You're looking at one👇 01110101001011100101 11100101011101010010 11010100101110010101 10100101110010101110 01110101001011100101 10101001011100101011 1000011001110101001 011100101111001010111 01010010110101001011 10010101101001011100 101011100111010100101 110010110101001011100 10101110000110 But it's easier to secure just 12 words especially for storage and recovery. 12 Words give you 128 bits of randomness. 24 Words give you 256 bits of randomness. 24 Words are more random than 12. But 12 words are just as SECURE as 24. Regardless of how many words you use, those words create a 512 "Master Seed." That Master Seed hashes your Private Key (and as many private keys as you want). This is why just one 12-word seed phrase can secure all the Bitcoin in the world. All Private Keys end up with 256 1s and 0s. Those are "bits" (short for "binary digits"). If you lose your Private Key, your 12 words can regenerate that Master Seed which regenerates your Private Key(s) to send or spend your Bitcoin day or night.

@elonmusk @elonmusk, When Baby Grok for Mac Mini? Local, private, air-gapped, decentralised, unstoppable, truth-seeking. History stored encrypted in the cloud in case the Mac gets fried using a BIP-0039 twelve word key. I asked Daddy Grok he agreed it is a good idea and it is time.

Predicting the future accurately is the best measure of intelligence

@annieevincent Love this, and lovely to meet with you at the fabulous CMH earlier! Such a lovely place!

The cage is open. Study Bitcoin.

@bitcoinbeefbits @Pleb_Style Happy Birthday Pleb.Style!!! Keep up the good work!

@Pleb_Style Happy third birthday! 🥳

Woohooo, PlebStyle is turning 3 years old! 🥳🎉🎂 Huge thank you to everyone who supported us, ordered, shared our stuff, sent kind messages, and followed us. You’re the reason this keeps growing 🙏🧡 To many more years of PlebStyle! ❤️🔥

@btcbenchmark @btchelevent Will do!!!

@dataresilience @btchelevent Thank you come again!

BTCHEL Hub is back from the holidays! Stop by for a cup of hot coffee during these freezing winter days ❄️☕️

@BitcoinBrabant @FractalEncrypt There is great value gained from the human effort converting the word to the index, punching the number positions, and then directly reverse the process to verify. A human a CRC, mitigating the risk of introducing errors that when found years later is sometimes impossible to fix.

Would prefer to not store seedqrs or naked 24 words. In the long term future cameras will be everywhere and your 24 words might be directly compromised. Serious bitcoiners are using a seedsafe so their words are always covered and only manually readable 1 by 1, punched hole by punched hole.

Environmental Hardening and Burial Protocols For extreme disaster recovery, burial on private land provides a high level of security against both domestic burglary and government confiscation. However, burial requires a higher level of environmental engineering to prevent the recovery phase from becoming its own catastrophe. Construction of the PVC Vault Jameson @lopp's extensive stress testing has identified the PVC pipe container as the most effective low-cost method for protecting metal seed phrases from moisture, soil acidity, and root systems.[52] 1. Main Body: A 4-inch PVC drain coupling provides the core structure.[52] 2. Adapters and Plugs: Two 4-inch female adapters are pressed into the coupling, into which threaded drain plugs are screwed.[52] 3. Sealing: A liberal amount of waterproof silicone sealant should be applied to all joints and threads. For an even more permanent, airtight bond, PVC cement can be used, though this requires the pipe to be sawed open for retrieval.[52] 4. Curing: The sealant must be allowed to cure for at least 24 hours before the container is buried.[52] Tamper-Evident Protocols To ensure the backup has not been discovered or compromised by a third party, the metal seed plates or washers should be sealed inside a tamper-evident bag before being placed in the PVC pipe.[52] • Serial Number Verification: For this to be effective, the user must record the unique serial number of the bag in a separate location. This prevents an attacker from opening the container, recording the seed words, and resealing it in a fresh bag of the same brand.[52] • Vacuum Sealing: For additional moisture protection and a secondary layer of tamper evidence, the washers can be vacuum-sealed. If the seal is broken or the bag is no longer tight against the metal, it is an immediate indicator that the backup has been disturbed.[53] Mapping and Retrieval The primary risk associated with burial is the inability to find the container years or decades later. • Navigation: Users should not rely on temporary man-made structures or trees, which can be moved by storms or landscaping projects. Navigation must be based on permanent, immutable natural landmarks.[52] • Metal Detector Deflection: To hide the container from "treasure hunters" with metal detectors, it should be buried at a depth of more than 12 inches.[52] "Seeding" the burial site with scrap metal, such as bottle caps or rusty nails, can further frustrate anyone attempting to locate the container with unauthorized detection equipment.[52]

@ClavaStack @Pleb_Style @SpecterDIY Great to meet you! Keep building! ❤️

Thanks for showing me @dataresilience. Get Seedcards from @Pleb_Style: pleb.style/products/seed-… Get @SpecterDIY from @ClavaStack: clavastack.com/produkte/

I tested the Seed Poker Cards from @Pleb_Style for generating a Bitcoin Seedphrase at @LuganoPlanB. Honestly I'm not completely convinced, as you have too less entropy if you don't shuffle extremly carefully. In this demo we did not shuffled well enough and had a word twice.

@knutsvanholm @IoniAppelberg @TheGuySwann It has, please do!

Throwback Thursday™️ Here it is, the animated video by me, @IoniAppelberg, and @TheGuySwann. The one that spawned the ♾/21M meme and Bitcoin Infinity Day on Aug 21! Ioni and I have plans to do more stuff together. It's been too long, don't you think? ♾/21M forever!

@MolonLabeVC @onthebrinkie @BitcoinConfEUR @LCsign_tony @bit_fest_UK FOMO! Man…

@onthebrinkie @BitcoinConfEUR @LCsign_tony I am , @bit_fest_UK next week! Solarbit, BitSat, and a few more of my BTC hardware tools.

Although some Noderunners where sceptic about @BitcoinConfEUR.. as they always are (that’s a good thing) we are really thankful we could try to make a difference. Workshops, beertaps, self custody, meshtadel, arcades.. and of course the led signs from @LCsign_tony. It was great!

@efenigson @giacomozucco Lovely! Keep messing!

Not everyday I get to hang out at a royal palace with an honorary consul of El Salvador🇸🇻 in Switzerland🇨🇭, who’s actually an anti-state anarcho-capitalist bitcoiner. @giacomozucco, we’re messing with the matrix!! 😅🧡

@bitcoinbeefbits Crunchy!

Your snack can't hash 100 TH/s? Weak.

@MolonLabeVC Well, without the ”E” as in ethernet, but one could perhaps do a similar injector device, essentially it becomes a PoE switch, unless, you have TP ports at both the front (out) and the back (in) and that way offer multiple channel injectors for multiple miners in this case?

@dataresilience thats it a sort of poe power hub

@MolonLabeVC What comes to mind are these clever guitar effect power units for up to five pedals? You can hook up several in series at the ac end. harleybenton.com/product/powerp…

@dataresilience maybe a custom PoE injector array for muti cables ?

@MolonLabeVC I mean even that would make it an elegant setup, you keep the injectors in a pile in the corner and only one cable (net/power) reach the miners at the shelf. That’s nice. And if you have only one miner surely a typical PoE switch would be able to sustain just one.

@dataresilience technically its not hard to build a pcb that will buck down the poe Voltage to the 5 or 12v... its the switch side that has me worried .. UNLESS we go down the route of using a POE injector module ;-)

@MolonLabeVC Yeah, that’s the challenge…

@dataresilience Find me a PoE switch that can push that much continuous power down each port that can take more than one miner and not cost a few thousand $
