I wrote apps to convey Bitcoiner info in a aesthetic way.
I then embedded multiple apps into an article.
I’m pretty chuffed, I like the article, I hope you do too.

I’ve been thinking about this.. it’s so difficult because the ideology seems so “radical” for turbo normies..
So I thought “what if I could do it in a data driven fashion” so I built tools like this:
https://www.bitcoinbutlers.com/calculator
A inflation calculator for 10years, 20 years and 50 years to calculate the theft - this is the [federal] house on fire trigger.
Then a bitcoin comparison what if to really hit the message [better savings] home.
What’s cool about this though, as anyone who writes content on our platform can embed this into their piece.
It’s like mini widgets to add to your content. I should open source each one and have them all as a library maybe?
Anyway, do you think this approach will yield results?
How do you think we best fix the story telling problem?

You die. Your Bitcoin dies with you. Unless the rules are written in script, not trust.
We just proved it on testnet — 3 heirs, timelocked Bitcoin, Shamir-split Nostr identity, zero trusted third parties. All enforced by Bitcoin consensus. No custodians. No services. Just math.
Full writeup: https://drive.proton.me/urls/5A4NP49AF0#nV9X2xfbTK6w
Going on third day and I’ve shipped v0.4.0 with a live demo on testnet.

I’m building NoString
Self hosted inheritance tool using miniscript and time locks for Bitcoin and NOSTR keys
https://github.com/RenAndKiwi/nostring/releases/tag/v0.1.0
Just in the idea stage at the moment. Uses NOSTR mail to send NOSTR DMs and / or email:
https://github.com/asherp/nostr-mail
You load a nsec (optional), use Shamir secrets, heirs get threshold -1 and upon inheritance regain the remaining shares.
For the Bitcoin, upload xpub, check in requires economic activity, resets the time before inheritance contents is sent to heirs.
Eager to hear your thoughts.

I don’t know what tools you have, but in start9 it’s easy to set your own relay and they have various file systems to help with hosting your content. You may just want one with a lot of memory (4TB ssd) if you’re going to self host a lot of video content.
May be worth hiring someone to get it done right the first time if you’re not a techie. You could figure it out, maybe someone will have the time to walk you through it and be tech support for free, but then if you screw up you risk losing it all - again, just like with Bitcoin, real ownership comes at the cost of spending time and understanding best practices and the corresponding tradeoffs.
I don’t have time to do this all with you, unfortunately and sorry, but happy to periodically respond to questions you have. I’m no expert either, so take what I say cautiously, I’m just speaking abstractly and directionally.

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.

Yeah for sure. Hard to find time atm with becoming a new father, building this biz and working on FOSS tooling. Happy to DM though and chat & hopefully find a time.
Inspiration came from having previously worked at an exchange, teaching the team self custody. Then the clients, setting up their self custody documentation and helping with their website and e-commerce store. I saw many pain points.
That led to me wanting to start something with @nprofile…8s86 - Sovereign University is what we were going to call it, where people came to us as a retreat and would help people self custody there amongst other Bitcoiner activities… but alas, he was set to create Vora with Jessie.
I then started working on Seed-e - a non-kyc backup key market place where you could buy BIP 32 xPubs via lightning on a reputational basis.. I will bring that idea back into the fold later.
For now, it was where does structured yet configurable tutorials (how, not why) intersect with concierge (butlers time) and an e-commerce store.
I saw all the previous pain points for a singular company to do this, let alone a pleb who wanted to offer this.
I had applied at a few companies that provide some of these services, but didn’t get what I was after. So I decided to compete and make the platform for the butlers by making the tool that I wanted for me.
All in the hopes of making self custody configurable, as straightforward as possible, convenient and affordable. It was a long time coming and pulls from a lot of lessons learnt.

To be clear, you can (and is preferred you do) pay in Bitcoin, but it currently makes more sense to price in Fiat. I will add other Fiat pricing to various tools when we start getting some traction but have higher priorities for the short term.

I don’t agree with that train of thought. It’s marginally easier than using industry standards, if at all, and makes compromises to the extent that I’m . not willing to recommend nor resell. So the false dichotomy of either ETFs & exchanges or BitKey is not accurate imo.
Besides, they have plenty of other people marketing it and providing tutorials, and if it really is so simple, they wouldn’t need a butler to walk them through it anyway. It’s not right for many people or for our platform, for a multitude of reasons.

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:
