Last Notes npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Catching up on finalizing and listing some of my design/product ideas -- this one has been in the queue for some time. A static setup like this can make capturing QR frames with your laptop a breeze. 🧡 https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/product/adjustable-overhead-webcam/NEQROQAZVSY73FH73TZY4QKQ https://image.nostr.build/6e43d8624c6759c4101bf2ca135511415ef182f601388240a640211b34778572.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9a7734e5cb5a58edb4eb0d99aba87cb624b49d45e3a9b3a904406d0065a79faf.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I've been working on this for the last several days; it is easily my favorite signer enclosure of the ones I've created in terms of the aesthetics, the form factor, and the usability of the controls. Read on if you'd like a little "inside baseball" on this design. 👇 I heavily borrowed from the compact "Push Case" that kayth21 shared in the @npub17ty…3mgl github repo (https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner/tree/dev/enclosures/pushcase) and of course have to credit @npub1dqe…mmgt for the idea to incorporate Nintendo-themed design elements (Black Coffee created a similar design a few years ago that was available for purchase for a brief period of time, and is still frequently asked about). Kayth really refined the idea of a fixed-position thumbstick topper in his push case design, as well as masterfully handled board spacing and the microSD card port. His button design is also very clever, with the lower button covers fitting around the circuit board buttons. Because of the fine tolerances between the components, I had to make some adjustments for the parts to render properly on my printers, and also modified his clamshell-style assembly to work with my drop-in approach. The DPAD topper works surprisingly quite well, especially for an FDM-printed part. The right button stack are snug with hardly any play. The memory card can no longer get lost inside the enclosure and can still be grasped with your fingers for removal. And Kayth's handling of the camera holds it perfectly centered in its respective port. This is also the first time I've offered a protective case with a printed-signer, and the grey/red color combo makes for a great initial presentation. I'll eventually also be offering a non-themed version in different colors but wanted to get this one out there immediately because it made me think of Christmas mornings when I was a kid. I was 8 years old when the original 8-bit Nintendo became available in the states, and spent many hours at a friend's house in front of a huge console TV playing the original Super Mario Brothers, before getting a system of my own a year or so later. Designers inevitably leave little bits of themselves in their work, and I'm particularly proud of this model. ❤️🩶🖤 You can find this signer available for purchase in my store at https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/product/retro-gaming-themed-signer/I2OO557NA4S6CEKEJ57SXLC2 https://image.nostr.build/3f3321b81e48fada79b01d4a737a66076c35fbcfb32bdebd14bc71630e54d6c4.jpg https://image.nostr.build/98e4f3f69a32cc48650f34f24247b438591b097a7d5a4cf1718aa450472e1306.jpg https://image.nostr.build/44270fe79d4605adb855349ae9b83bac2ebc5d55710d10ada130f8d73c90bc57.jpg https://image.nostr.build/af055a8c9d0fa262f9751faff88845c83f41e52be89a43e0e9cf4201c350b65c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d92e8e612523b735cf89d677599835562abc0eae680c67a039f886fdbb084c23.jpg https://image.nostr.build/964f05d63b1a1f5fe412921c680bad580d25dfc42b574f38457a2ad53f1d54d7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e441337e404bf30f00a3586e11a143fe690cfcfa23e41ee79ec639bebc045629.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 💯 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Mine has played through a couple of the newer ones as well. ❤️ npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man https://image.nostr.build/554b5a2cb9bd34e9ac31720cb9b697a959be42618be31445e8071b56b2ef1781.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I used to look up to many of these people too; having gotten even the smallest peak “behind the curtain“ in the bitcoin industry has been disheartening. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man https://image.nostr.build/e953d548fa8f4219718a607638055dde06ed4f465a7b6f733d02c08ee3a5cc3b.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Influencers are constantly seeking to discover the next “new” thing, so that they can claim the clout that comes with having been early to a given thing. The projects and tools that have gone on quietly building for years, to develop and refine that initial prototype into a useful piece of infrastructure that a community can rely on, those teams are the real signal and unfortunately do not get the attention they deserve. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Ooooffff… and true. #note1pt7…avqx npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Appreciate you saying this out loud. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Attending a small event in São Paulo over the next few days coordinated by Lucas Ferreira and funded by the HRF to coordinate ongoing development of Stepan Snigirev’s embit bitcoin library AND facilitate collaboration among DIY signer/wallet projects (@npub1spe…4qw2 DIY, Krux, & @npub17ty…3mgl). Am also excited to attend SatsConf here in Brazil this week.

Stateless, air-gapped DIY using commodity hardware & reproducible FOSS software is a legit security approach that mitigates the privacy leaks, supply chain risk, and other trust issues that accompany retail hardware wallets. https://image.nostr.build/2794fc649999319e85a3b79c4f55a941788090f7ef9e42f3ec0445138fd0dcda.jpg #note1fg7…9rm8 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man But can she lick her eyeball? npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 👀 #note15c2…k296 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 🧡 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man So excited to arrive at the finish line with this: . Custom hat materially improves @npub17ty…3mgl user experience without changing security assurances . $10 from each HAT split between our lead developer and lead maintainer . HAT & enclosure designs will be open sourced . No external investment or venture funds involved The Waveshare display hat will also be perpetually supported for any users / builders who prefer it. There were multiple shortcuts or alternative approaches that could have made this process quicker, easier, or more profitable but it was important to me to do this in what I felt was the right way. https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/ https://image.nostr.build/1b44aac90410313fbfaf22838c0636a94032ae87d262437e056996d724bd5cae.png npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man This is an amazing playlist of tutorials, I only made it halfway through and learned a ton of useful stuff: https://youtu.be/d3qGQ2utl2A?si=LUcdrtwNDGltN3TG npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man From what I can see, the overhangs don’t look too dramatic — it’s a lovely design. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 👍👍 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I mostly lurk. 🧡 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man If such files are stored as contiguous binary data, they can indeed be found using forensic and data recovery tools. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man This is such an amazing contribution to open source builders. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Just a reminder that the ability to run arbitrary code should be associated with freedom, not danger. They are trying to convince you of the latter. Cling to your God-given liberties and reject the safety of their walled gardens. #note1dw0…um2x npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Did you split it too? npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Good morning from Lake Satoshi — make sure to say hi if you’re here too. 🧡 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man He is parroting. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man If you accept sponsorship money from HWW companies that act aggressively towards open source projects... AND aren’t sharing your podcast or conference platform with those building DIY/FOSS cold storage tools... There's a question you should maybe be asking yourself. https://image.nostr.build/f27bb87401e85452bc4a32644bec7be5114aeb16360f746508f73c40affec469.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man If in fact most of the internet is going to be kyc’d, what do you think is going to happen to commercial hardware wallets that are manufactured by state-registered companies? #note1tsv…h0jc npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man This is a completely fair question. Some people really, really do not like it being asked, but based upon his personal behavior and the stated goal of the organization, this is an entirely fair question to be asking. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I have to give Odell props for this — today I learned that he still lists SeedSigner as a recommended cold storage option on his personal odell.xyz website. https://image.nostr.build/46f7d2b55a92596fe87b6362807882433a2c0241b1d338d2b817f058e457eda9.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I appreciate that the good Dr. would want to give a friend the benefit of the doubt, but at some point the evidence adds up. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Do you have a timestamp for this in the episode? npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man For those asking, the redirects are changing now, possibly as a result of this information being made public. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man That’s new. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Appreciate the thought but we kinda just want to be left alone and build our thing. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Several people have reached out about this. There are apparently at least 10 URLs that were purchased on 5 separate days over a period of 3.5 years, all appear to have the same owner. Some of them seem intended to interfere with our ability to fundraise or accept donations? I honestly could see this sort of thing as a one-off or as a mean joke if you're having a bad day, but the pattern here comes across as something different. Given how many podcasts and conferences his sponsorships touch it feels like behaving this way towards a FOSS project should be a bigger deal? If Nostr is indeed legit with regard to wanting open source to flourish, it seems like this would be of interest here especially. https://image.nostr.build/b949de4c74e469aa755396f81a3d1953d53832ed83970e477d95d290720a5f01.png npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man That may be fair but the whole thing is engineered to be cult by the unsolicited primal signup instafollows that include all of the right-think influencers. I have learned the lesson of going where you’re wanted, and the people who functionally run the show around here clearly don’t want me around.

Someone who profits primarily from non-FOSS products should not have a say in how millions of dollars of FOSS funding is awarded. https://image.nostr.build/3899231ae013f5616f6649a7855192f38c4bb3a229d6ef09fd1d61bb06f88cb9.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 🙋♂️ npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man cc @npub1tv8…7wn2 Found some more crochet projects for you… npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 🧡🙏 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I’m just thankful that other people are seeing some of what I was seeing for so long. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Having so much trouble keeping my mouth closed today, LoL. Oy. I have to remind myself that it’s just not worth it. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 🤣 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. 🧡 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I think of them in terms of trustlessness. I would say that the entropia tablets are the most trustless because you’re directly selecting the key material; rolling dice is in the middle because the dice rolls have to be processed to obtain the key material, but that process can be validated with a secondary device; and then the photo method is the least trustless because there’s more trust in our code, and the process isn’t practically verifiable with another device. I hope this is helpful. 🧡 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I think what you’re describing is compassion fatigue. I experienced it while working to help prosecute crimes against children during the majority of my LE career. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Just had an extremely energizing call with our core SeedSigner contributors (@npub1rfd…7wrt, @npub1tv8…7wn2, BitcoinPrecept & @npub177z…dp8e) -- things are moving so quickly with the multi-language initiative. So exciting, feeling super blessed. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man It is indeed important to call out bullshit. People with financial interests in building, selling, and/or profiting from license-restrictive, “source available” products should not be involved in grant-making decisions involving free and open source projects that could be seen as “in competition” with said for-profit products. I am not complaining and am not begging for change, just calling out the bullshit. Myself and my collaborators just continue to build the better alternative; we are indeed being the change that we want to see. #note1j4r…nrdl npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man The white PCB is what makes it… I called it the dreamsicle edition. https://image.nostr.build/2e976c34299aa5be986b261984e8a4163be06d9af3b4feabc876d0b4f76ea565.jpg https://image.nostr.build/614cbbcb259c64d566f67cd6481cea7e8f91a41a2b6bcb671f8d2015a0b6bcd3.jpg npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man "It worries me that no large entity/influencer has talked about this in any meaningful detail."

(up/down when QR codes are displayed) npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man Used to work a lot with the feds and agree that "it depends". An interesting aspect of this is that the legal threshold to obtain metadata is sometimes lower (requiring an administrative subpoena) while the standard for actual content is higher (requiring a warrant supported by probable cause). And sometimes the former can strongly support the latter. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I’m sorry, my message came off as pretty douchey towards you. Some of the people in that list have been pretty nasty to me personally over the last six months, and IMHO are not as wonderful you may think they are. I've had a peek behind the curtain, and some of it really isn't pretty. But if you speak publicly about things you've observed, conflicts of interest, etc. you'll be accused of creating drama, labeled a "bad faith actor" (whatever that means) and they'll encourage others to treat you as a persona non grata. They're #1 concern is that the money keeps flowing, though they'll constantly signal otherwise that it's all about freedom, open source, "staying humble", etc. npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man This is exactly why I've been less interested in using Nostr -- the influencer cults are everywhere and the OpenSats/Ten31/Primal cabal does all they can to channel as many new users into the cult, resulting in this kind of cringe stuff. 🤮 #note1fe5…zx6d npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man ...Do not ask why a github repo was taken down.

Bitcoin product != Bitcoin project npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man I get why this is a thing, but it really doesn’t seem ideal. #note1els…s2k8 npub1fft97fnpje9w7rp7apaenjd9wvd23hv2sqexl94ydltlyplgvyaqug6sxp sesi_the_man 🧡 Thanks for this.
