Last Notes npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins This privacy project of mine has been very revealing, pun intended. I wanted to create an anonymous npub and see how well I could be active while not leaking any information. In the week that I had this npub, I've accidentally or foolishly leaked information 12 different times (that i know of). Most of the time I only found out much later. For example, I was running my IP Tracer on a separate device running Kali and noticed that I accessed nostr multiple times when mullvpn had force closed for some unknown reason. I could see my ip traffic quite easily. Then I noticed I had posted the same monero subaddress on 2 npubs, dumbass... I sent lightning tips non anonymously multiple times and even once from an old kyc wallet! Honestly, outside of pretending to be someone else with a different personality, sentence structure, and interests, I can't say I did much of anything successfully. Privacy is hard and obviously takes more than just a dedicated plan. Clearly, I'm not there yet. So for now, we will end this book with, "And he lived happily ever after, until the end of his days." #nostr #privacy #vpn GN npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins #asknostr npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Genius npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Oof npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Ooof, 1000 each time? Alright, so as to make sure you succeed, I also suggest the old fashion option. Add a strand of horse hair to each of your cigs. Human hair works too, but one attempt at those and you'll be so nauseous, you won't be able to look at a box of cigs without throwing up. If its vape, go to the local asian market and find the stinkiest seasoning they have. It'll forever linger in your machine. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I've never had difficulty quitting but I come back to it every few years. I've taken up the 2mg on! pouches recently. Ive heard that the most effective method is hypnosis npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I use a Monero centered client called Garnet but it doesn't gut out lightning zaps, just adds xmr zaps in addition npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I was the most angry with Monero right before the light bulb moment. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I find myself at a fork in the road on #Nostr . Do I try and speak against the growing popularity of buying #KYC #bitcoin , or do I distance myself from the simps and mind my own business? Do I sit and watch children play in traffic or do I make them feel stupid so as to make sure they don't do it again? It's really a moral problem for me. And to all the "innovators" who have made bitcoin more user friendly while giving the government free access to otherwise innocently ignorant people, all while being worshipped as heroes, just fuuuuuuck you. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I'll take "look like a government bitch to remain anonymous in my public activity against the surveillance state" for $100 Alex. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins No need, they've already started, and have automated systems to handle the majority of the inbound data. 20 years from now, they will have that information nice and organized, ready to knock on your door and force you to give account for every unreported zap. We have nostr sites created by devs on here that track how many zaps youve accumilated. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Tattoos are being used to kyc you. Paired with surveillance state tech, you'll need to do more than just hat and mask up. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Im sure fiatjaf would have tightened up his practices a bit had he known he would be targeted. Normies couldnt care less and will never consider their problems a symptom of their laxity, however, a well thought out threat model and privacy practices will do more than you suspect. Its tough though, ive had this account for less than a week and have already had 3 accidental leaks, whether that be vpn downtime, non anonymous tips through an old kyc wallet, geolocation,etc. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Another reason why we need privacy and online anonymity, because rights mean absolute orc shit. Also, didn't realize brit cops didnt have guns. Why'd he let them in? They ask for a cup o tea? npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins A paper wallet that is used for cold storage becomes a hot wallet as soon as you need to access the funds. Hardware device allows you to store your keys and transact without revealing your keys. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Open source sonic screwdriver was not on my bingo card.

We are dealing with a keynesian stream in which logic flows like molasses. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Japan screams cause their house of cards fall down. Other countries scream cause Japan holds US treasury bonds and expects to sell. Other countries sell in hopes to beat US market open. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I think it's time we stop throwing around "store of value" as a cult catch phrase and actually consider what it means and if it's even true. At this point, we can expect bitcoin to follow the market as it's been whored out and mainstreamed due to tyrant pressures. We are about to see that SOV means nothing without privacy. #btc #xmr npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Good morning to America npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins You should yes, sent you some, test it out. There might be a transfer minimum. You might want to wait until you have a certain amount, then use something like trocador to convert lightning to monero for cake wallet, but once again, getting ahead of myself. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Face masks help fight against facial recognition cameras infinitely better than they do propaganda flu 2.0. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I'm all for wearing face masks in public again. Most people see it as compliance with tyranny. I see it as another surveilance state inconsistency, allowing me to walk around anonymously. Add a ball cap and some #privacy glasses and you got yourself some #ftg apparel. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins vpn gets you places the USA sanctions my man, you gotta lot of homework on your hands already so i dont want to overload you, but we're pretty nice here on nostr and will help when you need it. You already seem to have a mindset for privacy first which is good, i wish i would have started that way. Everything else comes eventually at the right time. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Pc nostr is kinda a nightmare lol... npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Ok, amethyst is great, stick with that unless you want to use primal with built in wallet (it will ask for email confirmation but just create a temp email with https://temp-mail.org/ ). Regarding a zap wallet, im not sure breez integrates too easily. For receiving zaps, minibits is an ecash option that gives you an lightning lnurl address to save to your amethyst profile. For NoKYC sats, i would highly recommend robosats. If you are new to btc, don't mix your nokyc with kyc coins. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I came into this randomly without context, but I'm here for it. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I would first get out of global view, second i would follow a few hashtags im interested in such as #privacy #bitcoin #monero #nostr #grownostr #plebchain #biblestr etc..follow people you like from there npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Alright: npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Looks like #umbrel had the option to run a #monero node now. Might test that out on the spare pi. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins 🥸🥸🥸 npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Only until bitcoin can fix its privacy problem. Gold doesnt make sense to me as no commercial cashier is going to know what to do with it, maybe if you are dealing directly with the store owner, but not otherwise. Something that you can convert to digital fiat is the best and most practical option. I prefer monero for simplicity over lightning or liquid which need extra effort and know how to operate privately. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Follow #monero and #xmr npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Imagine, if you will, the inevitable overreach where the government forces Cashapp and Strike to give up their clients information at gunpoint or by that of harming their family. You are on their list and must give account of every sat you purchased or received as a non anonymous tip or payment. You'll be rewarded for your compliance and rat outs or punished by your resistance with force. You will be rewarded and well compensated for reporting any coins you know of that are nonkyc. Many of us are just one executive order away from this reality. I feel like our threat models should take this very real situation into consideration. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins The majority will do whatever the government tells them to do to get their comforts back, only those who are prepared will be able to weather the surveillance state. I suspect that the vast majority of people, including plebs on here, will offer very little resistance before deciding to take it in the ass. The fact that kyc bitcoin is talked about as a valid option on here has brought me to this conclusion. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Any dev that works on open source software vs those who work MIC contracts. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I find myself at a loss for words. A rare occurence. #grownostr npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Good morning. Price appreciation and halvings aren't as correlated as supposed in the article as though it's simply a black and white issue, but more importantly, the utilized calculated value is compared to Bitcoins value, not on moneros. Id argue Moneros value proposition is that of anonymity, something that btc and layer 2 solutions simply cannot match and will absolutely need to in order to avoid tyranical encroachment. This isn't simply a matter of chance of if it will become crucial for total privacy, but how long until it is necessary. Once bitcoin can achieve the total anonymity that Monero can provide, then I will acknowledge no more use case for monero. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins This sent me on a rabbit hole of privacy glasses that block ir. Currently wondering if pinhole glasses could be effective. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins They think they are going to catch divergent activity from simps who fall for the bread and circus? That's adorable. #privacy #nostr npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I was driving through hillbilly country this evening and found the only gas station for miles cozied up within a mountain pass. It was an old fashion mechanical gas pump. When I went in to pay, I was surprised to see that they took CashApp pay. I asked if they took #Bitcoin half joking, and they said, "What's Bitcoin?" npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins I think it's mainly ignorance. Monero is everything they think bitcoin is. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Good morning!

Once it moves, they won't be able to trace it, but you'll forever be on a government list that says you bought some. npub19vpwhzdjapu22hcsu3x5xj6636n2g88c453ndwe59xgs5g4vxsdqjjzx2p Bilbo Baggins Hello World
