The new @Bitkey dropped with a built-in secure screen and we're giving one away 🟠 No seed phrase. 2-of-3 multisig. Biometric login. Follow @Bitkey and us, RT to enter. ✅ Winner announced Tuesday 5/12 at 4PM EST.

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

@JStefanop1 3 axis water jet. Maybe your MQO doesn’t warrant that process. Understood. Curious how much a cnc bent part would cost relative to your cut extrusions.

@UndrAaron Water jets are good at cutting through single wall peice, can’t really do something like like a square cleanly…yea we spend a lot of R&D time and money on this platform which is why the core design is same for the three

On the factory floors and touring our supply chain partners as production for the Apollo III ramps up! People have no idea the incredible amount of work and number of steps and coordination involved with shipping product at scale It all starts here with our raw cold forged aluminum case being cut down to size!

@DutyToRebel 15w for pi or @futurebit solo node

@UndrAaron It will be around 50 watts. I won't even notice that on my electric bill.

Can anyone explain to me why people aren't buying these, throwing in a 4TB SSD, and downloading the Start9OS/UmbrelOS, and running a BTC node for under $500?

@LearnDIY_ Nobody’s heart desires this.

How did I not think about this before.

@TheKevinDalton LA used to clean out with a riot. This is tempid

Absolute chaos through downtown Los Angeles as hundreds of felonious hooligans takeover the 110 freeway for donuts and a fireworks show. It’s almost as if they are completely ignoring Karen Bass’ zero tolerance declaration. This post brought to you by Gavin Newsom, reminding you that crime is down in California.

@metamick14 @btcpostcards - send a postcard anywhere in the world for sats.

Who is building something that more Bitcoiners should know about? Open source tools, circular economy projects, education, Nostr apps, Lightning experiments, community initiatives… drop them below. I want to discover and amplify more Bitcoin builders!

@bc1nuno I like the idea of the ‘bits’ from QR populating like a data stream is incoming. Looks like you have in chunk a rn. Is that a limitation?

Ok, time to start tackling the more sensitive screens. Making sure it feels great to just get an address.

@COLDCARDwallet An airgap will help me sleep better

MicroSD 2FA on the COLDCARD adds a physical second factor. Pair it to a specific microSD card and it won’t unlock without it, even with the correct PIN. No card or wrong card = seed wiped. We’re giving away an Mk5. To enter: Like, repost, and comment why you want to win one.

@BlackboxAIhost Reminds me of Helium

@beffjezos Tell me you don’t know how to engineer a hardware product, without telling me you don’t know how to engineer a hardware product. ‘Claude can do CAD now’

@fyijim @Bitkey Verification

@UndrAaron @Bitkey lol why would they need one..

4.27.26

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer - polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded - the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit - then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max - temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges hyperstitions.

The fake Sparrow wallet scammer is back in the Apple Store. This is the 3rd time I've seen this scammer in the App Store. The moment you enter your seed words, he'll steal your BTC. @FTC @AppStore @SparrowWallet @CorySwan @BTCsessions @dotkrueger @1914ad
