Someone’s server is always going to be unreliable honestly.
The best solution is for you and / or friends to just buy and run a server, you can post to NOSTR and have that server act as a relay too, but ideally, like Bitcoin, you depend on no one else.

What did you learn?
Today I shipped. It was a simple donation button on @nprofile…tu9a, but it’s pretty cool 😆
Wanna see?

Is there a NOSTR version of Trust Pilot or something for reviews?

Building something to make Bitcoin self custody so simple, configurable and beautiful, that there’s no excuse to still be a slave.
Grateful to people, like @nprofile…0fd0, who share their valuable time giving critical feedback at the early stages.
https://www.bitcoinbutlers.com/concierge/master
It will be a platform to enable Bitcoiners to monetize their Bitcoin knowledge. No kyc, no bank account needed, just PoW and a Lightning address for those selected.
I will white label self custody tools:
- Seed Generation:
Metal Codex32
Seed picker cards
Entropia pills
- Seed in Use:
Metal Seed Signers (plus)
3D printed Seed Signers
Coldcard Q, Mk4, Blockstream Jade & Jade Plus, Passport
- Seed at Rest:
Custom single sig and multisig backup plates, can add Wars for partial or full wallet descriptors privately or for you to etch further.
One convenient spot, configure what you think is the best concierge document, share it with friends or family. I will make all of the content conditionally render, they can buy all the tools (if they want) and buy butlers and my time (if they want).
No more obscure payment amounts, unstructured content, limited options hidden behind 15-30 min exploratory calls.
Bitcoin self custody and concierge will be forever changed.
If you want to help, or follow along. You can see my NOSTR handle here:
@nprofile…nk9c
Or watch me ship publicly week in and week out. Cheers Bitcoiners!

I feel ya, definitely worth the trip when they’re a little older. It’s magical.

It will in due time. What value is an inflationary and permissioned “crypto”that has periodic network outages? Why not just use USDT at that point?

Built an app today that you can clone and split your wallet descriptors into three shares using shamir secrets.
You can also reconstruct the wallet descriptor using the shares. And do it all offline.
Enjoy!

So, my wife and I had a child. If you have ever heard of “wild” birthing (birthing at home), this is the post for you; a brief summary of my experience.
Most of our friends and family were against it. It kind of reminded me of when they tried to coerce me to get the COVID shot. It was all about “our” safety and others (the babies). While I think these people intend well, I believe the reality is that they’re just scared for you. It seems a lot of people let fear and the absence of accountability dictate their choices. The thought of taking accountability and addressing the ugly elephant in the room breaks the glass, which is why they tend to parrot shallow talking points, have some form of cognitive dissonance and when it gets to real just spout “well, it’s your choice I guess” insinuating that you’re crazy.
My wife did an amazing job, 25 hours straight of being leaning on the bed or being on hands and knees until the baby came. It was unreal how strong and persistent she was, I cannot overstate for the woman how intense it is, but also rewarding this process is.
And it is for the man too, although to nowhere near the same extent. It’s the man’s job to make sure that the woman, your wife, feels as safe and confident as possible. There were moments where she was feeling uncertain and I could tell. We had great communication though and when she felt the “what if’s” arriving, I would read out some of the applicable Bible verses and affirmations she had chosen which soothed her. She was worried because she had not felt the baby kick in an hour or so, but this is normal when they’re going through the birthing passage, contrary to what any search engine would tell you…
And that freaked me out, the “what if’s” started getting to me too… but I couldn’t let it, it was up to God ultimately, and we knew a hospital was 5-10 minutes away if we really needed.
During this whole time, it was one of the worst storms supposedly in a hundred years.. there was crazy lightning in the background, one strike even made our lights flash and the sound came the same time as the flash, it felt like it hit our driveway.. but we didn’t care, we were ZONED in. Our basement is flooding downstairs, don’t care, zoned in.
Then the head started coming, our red lights (lamps) are on, it’s dark, flashing lightning, and it’s the back of the head first. Text book birth. The head is SO cone shaped at first, it’s crazy. I was unsure what I was looking at - was that a hairy elbow? Knee? It was so pointy lol. I figured it out, did I tell you that I am highly regarded?
Our baby come out, head first, one arm, two arms, ssshhhhhh rest of it all out once with a tonne of other stuff.. I was worried; will I catch the baby correctly!? Will I drop it!? Again, faith, exude confidence for your wife. God was good. We are blessed.
Before you know it, I’m taking a photo for the wife and getting the lotus bag ready. Our ambilical cord was too short though, so we had to clamp it and after 30+ minutes when it’s completely white, cut it.
We now have a beautiful and healthy young baby, no doctors shoving their hands up my wife, no one telling her what to do, no blue lights, other people shouting and screaming, pushing various drugs, no risk of poor judgement from externals, complete responsibility and accountability for our actions. Which absolutely could have gone wrong, but we did our homework, we were confident, we completely surrendered to God. We had our bases covered.
Looking back on it, it was the most amazing experience ever and we wouldn’t change a thing, catching your baby is an amazing experience.
Out of friends and family who recently had babies, all of them had horrible stories.. one is the saddest story I have ever heard. Maybe we are the exception to the rule, but not so long ago, the tables were turned.. I think it’s worth noting that I have had a friend whose home birth didn’t go as planned and required a helicopter evacuation.. again, we were only so confident because the hospital was so close. Hospitals aren’t necessarily bad, and perhaps the horror stories are just that, pushed heavily because they’re fear oriented and that’s what sells in the age of social media algorithms.
Regardless, I can’t help but think the method we chose is better (for us), as you’re not outsourcing your child to the “experts” straight off the bat, YOU are accountable for your wife and that babies life literally from their first breath.
So, if you’re wondering what to do, I can’t tell you. I can tell you what we did and answer any questions you may have, I pray that you find this information useful and also have an amazing birth! God is good, God bless!

Good points though but I think the approach is where I beg to differ.

2025-08-02 21:28:09 UTC

Christ is not here (currently) to flip the tables (again).
So, we’ll have to settle for a sly round about way for the time being.

Hmmm I’ve been thinking about this problem of the blind signer as I have been vibe coding this:
https://github.com/kiwihodl/Seed-E
And once I figure out the right approach I’ll build it in flutter + rust. I don’t think “traditional” multisig should be used, because of the poor key management should a key get compromised.. but it seems blind schnoor signatures and BIP32 seeds with blinded xpubs are the best option.
Regarding the blind signers validation, can you take the presumption that their key / work should not need any proof other than it’s an empty PSBT from the person who bought the service? So that this person can request a signature, whether in the seed-e (lol, will change name) or the frost snap wallet and this is all the proof needed? By being blinded you’re kind of treated like a hot key in terms of just signing, but have metal backup of keys share / seed..
I’m not sure the best solution here, I’m early into just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
