@david_seroy please give it a trading account

🤖 My AI just got its own BTC credit line. I can give it limited spending power backed by BTC. Agentic payments + BTC-backed credit is coming. DM or join waitlist if you want access.

@milessuter @udiWertheimer is merchant not avoiding the ~3% discount rate from traditional payment networks? e.g. amex.

@udiWertheimer To depriotitize our own proprietary, internal rails in the spirit of promoting a global open payments network for the people? Somebody has to be first. Eventually when all wallets and all POS support this construct there is a dollars to dollars open source network.

Yes you can pay using your btc balance, but pro-move is to fund it with dollars: x.com/milessuter/sta…

@udiWertheimer @milessuter because the lightning network is a cheaper global payments network than visa/mastercard/amex (which are all extra steps as well).

@milessuter if customer is using cashapp and paying with usd, and merchant is using square and converting back to usd, why use btc in the middle it’s literally an extra step 😭

the end of privacy is the end of freewill.

@Enezator doing stepovers and everything

It turns out that this beautiful animal has been waiting to play ball for years

@Erikcason the community/family model is the target. has been for a while.

I think a lot about what denying access to affordable housing means not just for individuals, but for the collective development of society. I feel like this is largely responsible for the destruction of the notion of community, as few are truly invested where they live.

@sesi_the_man u mean FED'ing?

And you're telling me there isn't FUD'ing, sidelining, and suppression of info on DIY cold storage tools too? 🙄

one true indicator of character is whether or not you gatekeep knowledge.

@DoingFedTime dumping KeePassXC is crazy. also, why haven't they subbed sparrow wallet in for electrum... it's time.

Tails 7.6 uses domain fronting to hide Tor bridge requests from censors, \replaces KeePassXC with GNOME Secrets for accessibility, and catches up on 18 months of Electrum releases. Link 🔽

@sethforprivacy Lightning privacy is awesome (for ripsline users). just run a node.

Bitcoin privacy sucks because we refuse to fix it at the base layer or give devs the tools to build trustless bridges/L2s that can have near-perfect privacy. As a result: ⛓️ On-chain privacy sucks (but SP/Payjoin help) ❇️ Spark privacy sucks (but is getting better) ⛴️ Ark privacy sucks (but will hopefully get better) ⚡️ Lightning privacy sucks (for most users) This is the raw reality, and is the reason why most people who have a clear need for privacy still use other things like Monero. If we want to change that, we have to be willing to make larger changes to Bitcoin itself. P.S. - just because it sucks doesn't mean Bitcoin isn't still a useful tool, just like (unfortunately) Tether has even worse privacy and can be easily censored but is also a useful tool (for now).

Hi, what’s your nostr?

@BTCsessions Golang is cool

Run btcd.

@kcalvinalvinn Go baby

I agree. Come work on github.com/btcsuite/btcd. Been production ready for 13 years now! And it's not another wrapper around Bitcoin Core.

@maxtannahill starred

Put this together in a couple of evenings with Gemini. The bar to developing applications is clearly lower now! Not a privacy tool but a cost management and visualisation one. unspent.to

@theresno2ndbtc @SeedSigner this is dope haha

SeedSigner controlled with a Blackberry trackpad Finally managed to modify the seedsigner source code and get this working with this trackpad For the next step, should i try making a case with a 3D printer..? Thanks @SeedSigner

@LightningNewsX @ReichardKonige don't use a bank, use lightning.

@ReichardKonige Good but most banks/brokers only offer phone...

What are the best strategies to protect your accounts against SIM Swap Attacks?

@adamobrien @bitcoinwell I feel like you are marketing then to more technical users. users who probably understand the importance of not attaching their identity to their coins.

When you buy bitcoin through @bitcoinwell, it goes straight to your wallet. We never hold it, not for a second. The default model in this industry is custody, your bitcoin sitting on someone else’s balance sheet. We built the whole company around not doing that :)

@WatchmanPrivacy I mean 40% is a lot to force digital passes on.

"Ryanair eliminates paper passes and transitions to fully digital system. ... justified change saying 60% of passengers already use digital boarding passes." It's your fault. All you using apps, credit cards, and fintech are building the digital gulag. Privacy is not digital.

@_austin_f it looks really good.

@ripsline It's a simulated terminal experience. Each authenticated user gets a bitcoin core data directory and, when they open the terminal in the course, a bitcoind process is started with their data. Front-end commands are sent to the server to be processed and the result is sent back
