TailsOS + KeePassXC + VeraCrypt = true digital sovereignty! Let me walk you through how paranoid anons and high-threat-model users actually encrypt and protect sensitive data. 1) Buy a used ThinkPad X270 (~$150). Great Linux support, removable RAM, easy teardown. 2) Remove all radios & persistent storage: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, WWAN/LTE, SSD, webcam/mic, battery (optional). You now have a fully air-gapped, non-persistent machine. 3/ Flash TailsOS to a USB drive from an internet‑connected machine, then boot the ThinkPad. Now you have completely air-gapped and stateless hardware + an amnesiac operating system (TailsOS) Store the KeePassXC database inside a VeraCrypt container for real defense-in-depth against software flaws and supply-chain compromise. Congratulations, you’ve built a setup designed to withstand nation-state-level capabilities, with encrypted data easily portable to microSD and suitable for secure, redundant backups.

XmrBazaar is down. @1984Hosting Co shut us down. We received no warning we know of. We are not sure why yet. We are trying to make contact with them to resolve this. Apologies for the inconvenience. Like and share to spread the word.

I love my new Seedsigner from @btc_hardware Paid with bitcoin over ⚡️ @COLDCARDwallet @nvk this is what you get for saying that your customer's opinions don't matter. BIP-110 summer coming ☀️

@1914ad Zcash was never anything to begin with, so it can't be "finished."

Zcash is finished. 💀 Either someone secretly minted near-infinite coins in the shielded pool that can be dumped on buyers, or the team uses a backdoor to prove the supply is auditable and destroys the privacy promise that was the whole point.

We tend to overlook them and fail to thank them enough, I wanted to acknowledge the wisdom of the Monero developers: thanks to them, we aren't making headlines due to an inflation bug.

zcash's privacy pool is down maybe criminal activity has been detected lol

@monerobull I am sometimes so dumbfounded by such absurdities that I try to question myself to see if I am not the problem. But it is actually inevitable, as the community grows, the average intelligence of the community is diluted downward.

Shitting on true cypherpunk software to plug CEX and your sponsor is honestly disgusting. Massive grifter.

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help. Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now. For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck. Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now. If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us. - Keonne

Why do I not trust secure elements? I once saw, first hand, a device that could instantly read the data inside any secure element we could get our hands on. It may sound unbelievable, but I saw it with my own eyes. This device exists. It is not in the open market (obviously). Surprisingly, it wasn't a black market tool either. This was a device used for testing. The manufacturers know about it. They are the ones that provided the keys. No, I don't personally have access to it, and I truthfully don't know where to find it. The only person I knew that knew where to get it has long since retired. It is a closely guarded secret. But one day, it was on my desk. If you are using a secure element as part of your bitcoin storage, I would encourage you to include a stateless or blind oracle device as part of a minimum quorum so you aren't able to sign a transaction with a secure element wallet alone. A recommended 2-of-3 multisig setup might look like this: SE wallet = ColdCard Stateless = Seed Signer Blind oracle = Jade That way there is no single point of failure. Btw, there are only a very few (maybe 2 total) companies that make these secure elements. Most of them come from the same manufacturer. Secure elements are definitely a requirement in today's world, and I'm not saying they are worthless. Just want you all to know that there are still vulnerabilities with them.

Well, well, well… what do we have here? 👀 Battery-powered smartcard model? Same design and power delivery as the regular SeedSigner+ battery model. Just… smarter (pun intended)

Escorted out of the @TheBitcoinConf for holding #freesamourai signs. @DavidFBailey

Faced with a little money, the docility of some will lead them to accept, as a next step, an entry authorization into Monero.

@monerify @bishco9 you're a scammer who would do anything for a little money puppet

@MoneroTime @bishco9 that's a really cool approach to the conversation not a single logical argument besides insults and dumb claims

@monerify @bishco9 fuck you

@MoneroTime @bishco9 elaborate

@monerify @bishco9 Are you a retard?

@bishco9 @MoneroTime you help launder funds and you go to jail everyone has seen what governments have done to developers in this space

@monerify What's so wrong with being someone's puppet? Don't be so cheap. You know what I'm talking about.

@MoneroTime how is this something bad? care to explain
