Last Notes npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Apple products just drive you crazy! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi LLMs say things. Agentic AI does things. That’s the fundamental distinction. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Looks nice! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This is how I test if a local model is really uncensored. What's your favorite way of testing a Chinese model? https://blossom.primal.net/ab819e852534c7182168340ceb2a0179e29a62c610484d927ad9d45f7cdf0304.png https://blossom.primal.net/80455a448811dede00c1e390d556b2f0d711395b831df264a8b0fb340b9c3c82.png npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Telegram used to be dominated by users from Eastern Europe and Iran. In the West, it was mostly unheard of (at best) or dismissed as “oh, that Russian messenger app.” With Hermes Agent, vibe coding, and AI tooling increasingly tapping into Telegram’s powerful bot ecosystem, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot more Westerners convert! AI might accidentally become Telegram’s biggest growth engine in the West. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Is that a reply from customer support? npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Set up Hermes Agent with Docker Compose on my home server. Curious to see what possibilities I can unlock with it. Anyone using Hermes? Any tips, interesting use cases, or must-try features? npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi AI may replace more and more of the things we used to do ourselves, but it won't make having had experience in a certain field irrelevant. Two people can have access to the exact same AI and still have vastly different capacities. The one who knows what to do, what to look for, and what can go wrong will still have the edge. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I would give a hand to learn this breathwork. #nevent1q…w240 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi If someone wants to talk about Iran, I first want to hear what they said about the January 8–9, 2026 massacre. If they kept their mouths shut then, or worse, advocated the regime, they'd better shut the fuck up! https://blossom.primal.net/492680570db03772cd0dccdf44909c470da94b5f3c8a75393549ed7dbeba6122.png npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I think they had a hiccup. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This page drops great gems of wisdom everyday. GM, motherfuckers! #nevent1q…mjmu npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi مشکل قطعی مختصری داشت. روی دو تا دستگاه جواب نمیداد. الآن اوکی شده. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Anyone experiencing issues with Wallet of Satoshi? https://relay.mosvault.online/5a22560a591dd5399b8b673840b69690d4efb696af143daec47a8fa70cf9d91f.jpg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi * things were NOT an absolute absinence. Had a typo there. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Interesting concept. I’ve been fairly good at tracking habits, but the moment it was an absolute abstinence, things would gradually get off rails. I’ve recently vibe coded a habit tracker that fits my needs and works exactly what I need a habit tracker to work. I will take the liberty of stealing your idea of using minus points. It’s really simple. I wonder why it hadn’t occurred to me. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Think about this: how did you feel? Were you feeling better than you were on a higher carb diet or worse? Can it be that cholestrol is not the evil it's made out to be? npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi When you onboard a friend to Bitcoin, they think you’re paranoid for checking every file hash, firmware hash, fingerprint, and signature. What they don’t realize is that almost everything we’ve been paranoid about has already happened. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi GM, fellow vibe coders! #nevent1q…6sla npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Thanks for the tip! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yup npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Should give this ConduitMarket a go. I’m thinking of starting a Bitcoin art business: Bitcoin wood marquetry. 🤩 Anyone interested? #nevent1q…ky40 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Unsolicited advice: increasing fat intake was what helped me burn fat. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Good idea. AI likes to jerk you off to inflate your ego. This a simple hack and seems to make sense. #nevent1q…7s2c npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi GM #nevent1q…97vs npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Nope. They got burnt by negligence of the company that failed to do what a closed source shabby wallet can do. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi PayPerQ uses its own platform as a gateway to those services and as I remember from an interview with one of its creators, it has paid subscription to those services, so they do not run those on their own infrastructure. Dunno about Maple though. I suspect they have their own infrastructure. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I get where the confusion comes from. You must have seen my comment as a post on my page. It’s a reply to a post whose author talked about ditching Claude for Deepseek. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I’ve been really content with Codex. Claude has been a disappointment. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I’ve had a much better time using Codex than Claude. I don’t know what all the hype around Claude is about. Codex is much faster and more accurate. I know Codex isn’t open-source either, but I don’t like sharing my data with a Chinese company. If someone has the infrastructure to run it locally, though, maybe it’s a best choice. At the very least, it’s open-source. My machine can only comfortably support 8B models, which isn’t sufficient for coding purposes or answering any real question. But hopefully more powerful infrastructure becomes more affordable. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Woohoo! The zap was received! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Thank you :) Dunno why it shouldn’t be working. But appreciate the effort :) npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I love those lizards. I found and photographed so many of them on our walk to Santiago de Compostela with my wife. https://relay.mosvault.online/ddbaa1408d731ac29c172da6c9786e60a89976577453551b8b52121fca7cabc1.jpg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Birthday steak!🥩 https://relay.mosvault.online/9ccfe3a4b7b39b93f7edb5dee6e3d74ab2166a78086d48460298a88c026e0fe9.jpg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi To be fair, he was right: “If we have community support, no fork is necessary. If we don't, no fork is possible.” https://x.com/LukeDashjr/status/1971108029908255046 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Recommend me some Bitcoin-only Polish podcasts, friends. 🇵🇱 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi One was showing all the seed words. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi The ultimate defense! #nevent1q…r6sx npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Feel the pain. My wife is an angel for putting up with that. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi GM #nevent1q…zpmg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi My favorite graph is the one that illustrates the more you fuck around, the more you find out. https://relay.mosvault.online/fb508e6b0967a8fbfe4fd3f63d4c5cdb1946e8fcea870e2d4e3bed53ba48e4a3.jpg #nevent1q…4fg9 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi BYCPayServer has a critical vulnerability. But is anyone bashing them? No. Because they weren’t dicks like nvk was. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Wouldn't say the best. It's awesome. But having no single point of failure is even more secure. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi We should start a campaign to send our devices back to CoinKite and demand a full refund. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Is SeedSigner the right choice for you? Hear @nprofile…e5qx‘s creator explain its trust model, trade-offs, and strengths. This excerpt is from an interview Ziya and I did with Seed over a year ago. https://v.nostr.build/mZeOcxYDqwEoK0qh.mp4 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi ColdCard’s bug doesn’t have to be an inside job to be a colossal failure. It’s already bad enough on its own and I don’t find the claims accusing Odell of being in on it convincing. The podcast clip that’s been circulating doesn’t incriminate Odell. He’s discussing a self-discovered vulnerability in firmware 4.0.0 (one release before the catastrophic 4.0.1), which only affected users who upgraded to that version. 4.0.1 was a patch of whatever vulnerability that existed in 4.0.0. He’s talking about a different vulnerability that could have been exploited. Nothing in that clip suggests he knew 4.0.1 would introduce an entirely new bug. Arguably, NVK didn’t know either. But his decision to move away from GPL-licensed code and adopt a source-available license just because he childishly hated competition is what ultimately set the stage for this catastrophe. It doesn’t make nvk any less responsible. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This little guy here, running on a general-purpose computer, had been outperforming ColdCard the entire time while NVK was busy buying domains to take cheap shots at SeedSigner. https://relay.mosvault.online/180b9cc6151bcf88dd6fe8ba1c11ad239f88fcf19c16da2ac3e1581668c4b6c1.jpg https://relay.mosvault.online/2c8c5f9771520ae56f340c4b4aa8a2b7642301de8c3e180c55082dad47042909.jpg https://relay.mosvault.online/6284521ec9bff3aec8568764ffbdeb4c7935845ade636fe31348de5d00c714c3.jpg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Oh, the phone hotspot is a hinderance. Dunno how to overcome that. Maybe there’s a way to share wifi with cable. Old phones used to do that. Haven’t seen this feature in a long time. But maybe even a phone app can make it possible. Dunno. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Beautiful 🤩 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi My first hardware wallet was in fact an air-gapped Linux running on a raspberry pi :) npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi These are real shortcomings, but AI can help fix pretty much all of them. 😁 The most annoying one is Wi-Fi not working, but that's been an issue for me with several Linux distros across different computer models, not only on Mac. To fix it, you first need an internet connection over Ethernet. Once that's sorted, you can fix the rest from the comfort of your bed with Claude/Codex. I did have the Wi-Fi issue on my MacBook Air and it was the first thing I fixed. It was essential. It's also the least trivial one, because you'll need an Ethernet adapter for your Mac. Other solutions do not require you to get/have extra hardware. I don't have Touch ID and it's possible that one can't be fixed. I might be wrong though. I don't know how well well-known Linux distros handle that or if they use it at all. I managed to customize several gestures and they're pretty good, but they don't feel as elegant as they did on macOS. They do work though. ;) You'll lose some functionality and elegance. That's a given. But between a slow, outdated Mac and a functional, customizable Linux machine, I'll take Linux any day. If you end up taking a different route, let me know. I'm especially curious about how well OCLP might work and if it slows a macbook significantly or not. Keep me posted 😉 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Fucking legend! I wanted to, but it was not as easy as this. I might give it another go. I've gotten a bit better at making DIY stuff. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yeah, that's a huge thing. And when you get a general-purpose device, you are protected by some 'security through obsecurity'. Nobody knows whether you want it for a digital table watch or for storing your Bitcoin. This is the obsecurity that hardware wallets don't offer. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I remember NVK shitting on Andreas Antonopoulos over the seed-generation method described in Mastering Bitcoin. I remember him saying that if Andreas had spent less time shitcoining and more time updating his book, those wallets that used this algorithm wouldn't have lost coins. Someone should have told NVK that if he'd spent less time shitting on other wallets and childishly changing his license because he didn't like a competitor using his code, this colossal mess might never have happened. Shitcoiners are better than toxic people. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This DIY Jade hardware wallet using an inexpensive ESP32 had been outperforming expensive ColdCard wallets all this time. https://relay.mosvault.online/1814656e0ae86c57c382e4cc4b5d7a7912792fe9f8ae0ec764305321e9e9ced4.jpg npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi A good start. #nevent1q…j0xe npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi ای بابا. فک کردم هوش مصنوعی بود، این جور خشن نوشتم :))))حاجی دستتم درد نکنه. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi No I won’t. It’s the responsibility of the wallet to generate better entropy than me rolling dice. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi یه کم یه جاهاییش رو بد خراب کرده، اما به طور کلی ٨٠ درصدش رو خوب ترجمه کرده. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Nvk was shitting on all hot wallets and even hardware wallets that weren’t his, yet his dedicated, specialized, secure wallet fucked up big time!!! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Dice rolling is INFERIOR to device-generated entropy! It was my hunch too, but someone who knows better than me confirmed it: https://x.com/KLoaec/status/2083900851081388340 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yesterday's 'impossible' is today's weekend project thanks to AI. These tools are fucking great! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi The guy was made of ego. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi It feels good scrolling through Nostr. On X or Instagram, you can feel the algorithm feeding you whatever is most likely to keep your attention at that moment. On Nostr, you simply see the people you’ve chosen to follow. If everyone is talking about ColdCard, you’ll naturally see lots of ColdCard posts, but you’ll also see their unrelated thoughts, photos, jokes, and everything else they choose to share. On other social media, the algorithm tends to show you more of whatever is currently exciting or engaging you. On Nostr, people decide what you see, not an algorithm. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I doubt if anyone’s hitting buy on their products anymore. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I don’t dislike Adam. He has the best cryptographer’s onboard and I enjoy playing around with his Jade. I have made a Seed Signer too and it’s a great secure toy and playing with it is very rewarding. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi And yet nvk made fun of them by saying there’s no such thing as “virtual secure elements”. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi That would be so fucked up! How do we know that though? Did they make a reference to the emails? npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Now that this has come to light the story is different. But I’d say most of the signers he mocked were way more trustworthy and had better security models, such as Jade and SeedSigner. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi We want no repair. Return of money at the very least. I’d never get close anything nvk has touched. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This level of fuck up? Never. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Now they have to transfer it and cannot stand by idly. But people who go robbed of hundreds of Bitcoins the first hour did not see any of it coming. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Thank you guys for the help. It seems the only option was to use the terminal and since this time we had an AnyDesk session, it wasn't too troublesome. So mission is now complete! #nevent1q…w8ma #nevent1q…w8ma npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Nope. It’s an attempt to blame the victims rather than nvk. We should be able to rely on our hardware wallet to generate seeds with enough entropy. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I have empathy for anyone who has lost money due to this, but not for the one who made this happen due to negligence. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi We did not have to roll dice. It’s the responsibility of a signing device to generate a secure seed, not yours to generate it manually. And ColdCard fucked up big time in that area. Saying users have to roll dice to generate their keys instead of relying on the device to generate sufficient entropy is just as nonsensical as saying they have to memorize their 12-word seed instead of relying on a seed plate to store it. #nevent1q…rpcy npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi We technically shouldn’t have to. It’s the responsibility of a signing device to generate a secure seed, not yours to generate it manually. And ColdCard fucked up big time in that area. Saying users have to roll dice to generate their keys instead of relying on the device to generate sufficient entropy is just as nonsensical as saying they have to memorize their 12-word seed instead of relying on a seed plate to store it. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Oh, so that’s why the virtual drive didn’t work either. Thanks. It’s on a remote computer with me having to tell the user to type in the commands, so it wasn’t convenient to use the CLI. We attempted to do so, but we ran out of time for that session. I’ll first try to upgrade it to another old firmware and only later to the new one. If that one fails, I’ll take control remotely and do it over terminal. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yeah, that’s fair. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Shit! That annoying voice again! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I'll try that. Thanks. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Opposite of anything a jerk like him would do. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi If Coinkite doesn't go out of business after this colossal fuck-up, then nothing wrong in this world will ever be righted. Instead of helping people, NVK's removing tweets! https://x.com/zherbert/status/2083377265593692242 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi If quantum computers ever broke Bitcoin's cryptography, it would look exactly like these past two days. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi We did it! After a long coordination involving three people, we successfully moved 3.6 BTC out of an ColdCard MK4 and into a secure wallet. We're not completely done yet. We still need to update the firmware, except the wallet won't recognize firmware files from either microSD or USB. So the device itself appears to be defective on top of the recent firmware disaster! @nprofile…h23z should reimburse the cost of this wallet at the very least! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi If CoinKite does not go out of business following this massive fuck-up, I'd say nothing wrong in this world would be ever corrected. #nevent1q…qu7m npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I don't think having a 24-word seed sufficiently increases your security when the RNG algorithm is simply not used. That's why it's been a colossal fuck-up. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Big time! If you have any funds on CC single-sig, move it fast. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi A DIY Jade on a cheap, general-purpose ESP32 would have done better. Yet nvk took a piss at it any chance he got. #nevent1q…cwma npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Telegram is great! I use its bots to monitor my NAS and all the services running on it. You monitored my Bitcoin node (before it died 🤪) the same way, completely for free. You can also integrate your own apps with Telegram and use it as your program’s GUI. I have a bot there that my friend has written and we use it to organize our memes and videos and call them with keywords in any chat. 😂 It’s completely self-hosted and private. 😎 Most of Telegram’s features are free. I still bought Premium, not because I needed it, but because I appreciate the work they’re doing. It was my way of saying thank you. #nevent1q…qv32 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi It's one of the points NVK was criticized for and tbh, I never found his response convincing. That said, it's not fair to say Coldcard became closed-source. The source code remained publicly available for inspection. Initially, it was released under a very permissive open-source license that even allowed commercial use. Ironically, it was precisely because Foundation Passport lawfully reused a substantial portion of that code, in full compliance with the license, that NVK concluded such a permissive license wasn't the right approach. 🤦♂️ He didn't make the code closed-source; he made the license less permissive. You can still inspect the source and even build your own wallet from it, but you can no longer use it in a competing commercial product. It says so much about our boy's personality. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Indeed. What makes it really tragic is that the user took all the precautions. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yeah, I just heard it in my head as I read your post. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I recommend Linux Mint. You install it and it fucking works. That's what I love about it. (I used to recommend Ubuntu, but they've made some decisions around package installation that really upset a lot of people. I find the way they handle it pretty dishonest, so I don't recommend it anymore.) With many other distros, getting the basics set up for everyday use can take a bit of work. Linux Mint is much more user-friendly in that regard. You install it and you can immediately play videos and music, do word processing, and integrate your Google account to sync your Calendar and Google Drive files. If you go with Mint, you won't have to dive too deep into the Linux rabbit hole to just get it working. You can always explore more at your own pace if it starts to interest you. (And I'm sure it will. 😉) Even if you get stuck somewhere, you can just ask Codex or Claude to fix it for you, and they'll simply do it. Codex is terminal-based. But don't think of it like a traditional terminal app where you have to type commands for every little thing. You launch it by typing `codex` and from that point on, you're mostly just chatting with it in a retro-looking terminal window, which has its own charm. :)))) That's the beauty of AI agents: instead of memorizing commands, you just talk to them. Claude, on the other hand, has a GUI, so that's definitely a point in its favor. Funny enough, I'd been using Claude in the terminal on my Linux Mint for so long that I completely forgot I'd even installed the GUI. I actually had to look it up to make sure there was a Linux version. 😄 (I had to look it up because I'm writing this from a Mac machine.) npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Yeah, if you haven't committed to a full annual plan, you can try out whoever you're curious about each month. I hadn't heard of OCLP. I didn't even know something like that existed. I had an old MacBook Air and the latest macOS update it supported made it unbearably slow. Chrome, Brave, and Google Drive started warning me they were going to stop supporting it. Imagine, even the browsers were about to stop getting updates. :))) So I installed Linux Mint on it and now it runs like a champion. 🤩 I'm going to do the same with my wife's MacBook, which is actually in better condition than mine. Once you have Linux, you can use these agents through the Terminal, which isn't the most comfortable experience. I'm definitely a GUI maxi when it comes to AI agents. They make everything soooooo much easier and faster, and they help you keep everything organized. But the terminal is perfectly livable. You can still make them do the craziest shit you can't imagine yourself ever learning to do. These guys are amazing! They've saved me so much money by stopping me from buying unnecessary shit and I haven't even mentioned how much time they've saved me. "Curious... it appears Claude Chat is disconnected and context and history don't carry over to Claude Code. When you say you have reached mutual understanding, does that mean that your history with ChatGPT is taken into account in Codex?" That's precisely what I mean. ChatGPT tries to learn about you without you having to explicitly tell it to (although you should enable the Memory feature in the settings). With Claude, my experience has been the opposite. Every new chat feels like meeting for the first time. Maybe I'm being unfair. I only played around with it for less than a month. So take that as subjective. You really have to try them on for size and see which one fits you best. Excuse my long rant :))) npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi QR codes were supposedly a security risk until NVK incorporated them into his own Coldcard Q. USB cables were supposedly a security risk too and he never missed a chance to mock Ledger over them. (This "issue" he kept raising had a very simple solution, but if you only listened to him unchallenged, you'd never have heard about it.) He poked fun at @nprofile…g8xl Jade for using the marketing term "virtual secure elements", yet having two secure elements did nothing when his product failed to generate enough entropy. He mocked @nprofile…w6hy for using a general-purpose Raspberry Pi and made a huge deal about being able to extract the seed if you were close enough to the device using radio extraction techniques. Yet he made such a blunder that you didn't even have to be anywhere near his devices to compromise them. I'm mad! I'm still waiting to hear from a friend who had a single-sig on MK4. I hope his funds are safe or at least he transferred any serious amount to his Cold Card. npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi This is truly the saddest part: "The worst part is that they did everything right." And please don't come back with "they should have used dice," "they should have used multisig," or any such bullshit. Many of the most security-conscious, hardcore Bitcoiners chose ColdCard because they believed it was one of the safest hardware wallets available. #nevent1q…w825 npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi I remember NVK laughing off the DarkSkippy exploit and saying something like it would have been impossible on a Coldcard, something that was never confirmed by the researchers behind the attack simulation. It's unfortunate that such a critical vulnerability existed and could be exploited without physical access to the device. At least with DarkSkippy, an attacker needed malicious firmware on the device and you had to make at least one outgoing transaction before your seed could be exfiltrated. With this vulnerability, the official firmware itself was the problem, and you didn't even need to make a spending transaction to fall victim to the exploit. That's just tragic! npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Ok, it was just a minute long :))) #nevent1q…jq8m npub1heqkxm37d5h7n8sx2gqdez5sxnu39qrylhxnnd66dxpu4e2ufyysdkkx28 momotahmasbi Will give it a listen right now! #nevent1q…pgva
