The development team. As in, anyone who wants to put in a PR, the maintainers who choose whether to add it to the next release, and the users who decide if they're gonna upgrade, hold still, or use a different node.

Yea I know the antiklepto is the dark Skippy mitigation. The airgap is the mitigation to avoid placing excessive trust in the wire. I can audit a psbt on an SD card (or ideally a floppy, with no firmware to be compromised) but reliably watching thathard connection is harder. Especially if the monitoring tools are running on a computer which itself may be compromised.
Lack of an airgap has always been my issue with Bitbox and their points against it have never been convincing. An airgap isn't a silver bullet but it is a bullet, and if we can keep it in the mix while making use of other munitions we should.
Honestly surprised they haven't made this possibility more front and center. Too many hardware signers are caught up in how easy they can make things for their customers. As those who lost coins from Coldcard how glad they are they included the easy button to generate keys that they didn't have to figure out dice rolling right now.
Security trumps ease when the product itself is literally a security product.

The left always likes free speech when it is convenient.
Sort of how BIP110 advocates like permisionlessness until someone does something with Bitcoin they don't like.
Don't you remember all the leftwing alt media during the Bush years? Jello Biafra saying don't hate the media, become the media? Makes sense they'd be on it amid censorship of Palestinian causes.

Hope you can bring some with you. Can't hold it against you how you learned the information, just glad to hear you got what you needed.
And yes, realizing economic weight means that the fiat rich can use that to throw weight around is hard. Satoshi didn't ignore this though. Its why the coins were so rapidly dispersed at the beginning before they could notice. People may sell to them, and are more than I love, but it comes at higher costs than we sometimes remember. The best way to fight the suits is to stack, get your neighbors stacking, and don't sell to the parasites.
But...once they have coins, they are market participants, and you don't get to tell them they're second class citizens. Any more than you get to tell the silk road fentanyl dealer or the backpage hooker who are both now filthy rich how to live. That's sovereign property rights at play.

I'm curious: can you run a Bitbox02 signer to sign on a computer which itself is airgapped? I get dark skippy makes the direct airgap an issue, but curious if the additional device being airgapped may let you have your cake and eat it too.
I'll have to look more into this. It may turn this into an acceptable option after all.
Multisig can also be a good mitigation but multi device single sig isn't something we usually consider.

I'm also not so on board the whole ghosting of exes unless there's a safety issue. Seems to be more of a modern big city attitude. Small town folk see their exes all the time.

Turns out the official advice they did put out is run the node in --offline mode. Not take your node offline.
Which they said but got easily twisted in news. Glad they clarified a few hours ago.

Better info straight from the horse's mouth finally. --offline is NOT the same as shutting down.

I did get some clarification here. Running a node --offline is different than turning off the node. It still does onchain enforcement. It just doesn't allow peer connections.
You're basically turning your node into its own watchtower.
It's wild that Blockstream hasn't really put out a more comprehensive and clear statement on this. That we're pulling things apart from a discord screenshot and some half baked articles is a bit nuts.
Guess that's why we have LND...

- reply

Looks like the answer there is "no."
Not sure if it makes sense to think about for people but just throwing it out there, but IF you have the time to set up a watchtower before you turn the node off, then you can avoid theft indefinitely, as long as that watchtower is reliably online. Your channels may of course get force closed, but you won't get stolen from as the watchtower will enforce the justice transaction if theft is attempted.

The question I would have is: Can you set up a watchtower while your node is already offline?

GM.
I'm going to be keeping a closer eye on SOFR-IORB for awhile. The difference turned positive last October, in lockstep with Bitcoin's dump. This difference reflects dysfunction in repo markets and a liquidity squeeze, as SOFR is usually a small spread below IORB, being a secured rate. Bessents buybacks seem geared at putting these rates back in the order they should be in, and expand private formation of capital (money printer go brrr).
This particular metric may be the first indicator. Curious if it flips or bitcoin notices first.

I don't discount its a possibility.
But even this suggests such incompetence, because dark Skippy would have enabled them to booby trap the devices without leaving the door open for any asshat that noticed the address space was constrained. AI made it easier to find but it wasn't strictly necessary. That later models half fixed it also is a head scratcher.
I'm still leaning to gross incompetence and criminal negligence. The code runs right in an emulator and wrong on silicon. They were notably sloppy about a lot.
I do appreciate the research you're doing though. If nothing else it gives us a picture of just what sort of nonsense we're looking at.

Wait is the Pi version Alpine based too? Thats awesome if so. I gotta check out what you've got going on. Alpine looked crazy for dealing with compiler and libc reasons for what I was looking at putting together so I am currently working on a raspberry pi os lite based build. Just got delayed as I realized I needed a microhdmi cable. Also looking at system integrity checking. Got a kludgey idea of ripping the IMG file from my set up to keep a checksum of it to verify before burning fresh before every sign. Wear on the SD card but you get cryptographic proof it's unmolested. Or maybe looking at secure boot. Nothing quite looks perfect but playing with integrity checks.

Also made a random bindrune it wasn't able to explain aside from that it was done as a decoration. Closest I can make it out as is a combination of *raidō and ?*kauną, which mean "ride or journey" and "ulcer or boil" respectively. Weird little mix, but maybe we're going with "ride or die"? I also found the keep the mix clean a funny little nod to Samourai.

I appreciate people being willing to simultaneously revere tradition while also being bold enough to step into the future with it.

Nodes have power in the way that customers have power. Customers can absolutely fire the business.
But when it's less than 20% of them and they're not even the big customers, it turns out, the business will decide whether or not to listen based on what they're asking for. And be totally fine letting them walk away. Even if they asked to speak with the manager.

And for what it's worth I think the craving for this is why there's the push to bring Myspace back. It wasn't the put together story you got on Myspace. It was the picture you took in the camera against a dirty mirror with the flash, and the mess of html you threw together to express whatever you wanted to. Not to overly glamorize Myspace; I'm old enough to remember that it wasn't a utopia too. But I think it's what people are yearning for against the vacuity that modern social media promises. Heck at least Twitter just promises you a mosh pit of stupidity, which is leaps and bounds better than you'll find on Instagram or Facebook.

Nice! I'm in the process of setting up an airgapped raspberry pi 4 (it used to be my node, but in lieu of a UPS I've since just moved the node back to my desktop and have it just syncing nightly to avoid filesystem corruption from power failures). Sounds like you made yours more user friendly than I'm bothering with.
Did you take steps to disable any networking interfaces? Curious what that entirely looks like and how it differs to play with on a laptop than on something like a pi where the hardware is all 100% known ahead of time.
I almost like doing something myself though -- makes it that much less likely someone's gonna just throw together a doctored SD card that'll be similar enough that I won't notice but malicious enough to do anything. Seedsigner is great but if someone wants to hit you with a malicious SD card it's not THAT hard to swap out the malicious SD card and leave you none the wiser.

This doesn't mean you need give any excess respect to those not deserving it of course.
You are your final arbiter there. But the more disrespect you sew, the more you'll reap.

Including demanding the ability to mistreat others with impunity.
It's literally the same thing.
Worry less about what people owe you and more about ensuring your own liabilities column is kept in good order.
An honorable man doesn't pay his debts because he is nagged to do so, but because they're his debts and it would bring shame not to do so. Whether those debts are monetary, respect, or acknowledgement of thanks.

A Lannister always pays his debts.

Or apparently that spacehey exists. Which is just a clone of the original MySpace.
I think many also forget that MySpace was a pre-mobile experience. Gonna have Woodstock 2.0 vibes.
That said, neocities is sort of neat. How do we implementboth as nsites?

Mempool.guide likes to pretend its both lol.
Luke says he can't buy his coin yet, which I find odd. Plenty of us are happy to sell it...

A baby race reveal party would be much more entertaining.
It'd be like attending a live episode of Maury.

Idk that we mind bribery.
Do it with Bdash though and I might come out with the tar and feathers though.
At this point I don't even mind the Bcashers, but the preaching from the Luke coiners even as they don't sell their Bitcoin rubs me in a CSW sorta way.
I'm sure they will have to to pay for their Blake2B electric bills though.

It's just like chewing on fresh rawhide. If you only do it a little at a time it's always hard. But if you sit down and really put your jaw into it it softens up nicely and you can get the most out of it.

Like any machine bots are either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit it's not my problem.

I'll take 1 or 2 replies from real people with interesting context than all the engagement in the world on a platform that bans me and filters me with no notice or recourse and is full of people just performing for an algorithm anyway.

That would be awful.
Getting rid of Twitter would be like getting rid of op_return: where would we put the garbage? It'd seep into everything.
But yea, we're taking traffic from them, taking it from discord (check out Concord chats via Armada and some other clients), taking traffic from the Play store with Zapstore, traffic from YouTube with Zapstream and flare.pub, traffic from Tiktok with DiVine, traffic from Spotify with WavLake and Fountain, and even from ICANN with FIPS. Just to scratch the surface of what Nostr is doing.
There's also geocaching with Treasure for when its time to touch grass.
Elon wishes he could be the everything app. We have the everything protocol.
