BitRoot / BitRoot is on Nostr

Bitcoin might seem complex, but it's simpler than you think. My goal is to explain it clearly so that anyone can understand it.

A Privacy Loophole When Installing @nprofile…c5de on a Pixel
For anyone serious about de-Googling their life, you need to know about this. I've seen privacy concerned people overlook a crucial step in the GrapheneOS installation process that creates a direct link to Google.
The Step: On a Google Pixel, before you can unlock the bootloader, you must enable "OEM unlocking" in the Developer Options.
The moment you toggle that setting, your phone makes a network request to Google's servers.
Google receives that request and can see your IP address. If you're doing this from your home network, an IP tied to your name, you've just created a digital fingerprint linking you (and your location) to that specific device's serial number before you even wiped it.
Google now knows that 1) the person at your IP address is in possession of that specific Pixel phone, and 2) that you intended to modify its software!!!
How to Mitigate:
Use a trustworthy VPN, or preferably, public Wi-Fi (like a café) that is not associated with you.

I have a security question that has been bugging me.
When a wallet broadcasts a Bitcoin transaction, we trust it's only sending the signature and transaction data. But how can we be certain that fragments of the private key aren't being secretly embedded in the broadcast over time?
For example, could a malicious hardware wallet manufacturer design a device that, after many transactions, allows them to reassemble the bits and know the private key?
Has anyone ever done a public test where the same seed phrase is used on different hardware wallets (like @nprofile…22gk @nprofile…vysa, Trezor @nprofile…q32z, @nprofile…enut) to sign the exact same transaction?
If the resulting signatures are identical, would that be definitive proof that both devices are performing the standard, non-corrupted signing process?

Currently traveling.. So I'm visiting many new places including gyms. This super cool gym was happy to try accepting bitcoin payments 🧡 and received their first payment today! 🙌
Unfortunately, @nprofile…jv3w seems to be blocked by Apple and Google Store in the United Kingdom👎 Can we do something about that?
We instead downloaded @nprofile…p5z2, worked fine - only the channel size management is not ideal.

Please feel free to join my talk: "21 Million Bitcoin?"
When: Tomorrow morning - Saturday, January 3rd - at 10:00 AM GMT (ending at 10:30)
I'll walk you through parts of the Bitcoin source code to explain exactly how the supply is capped at ~21 million BTC.
We'll also cover why this cap cannot be changed (people have tried before!).
To protect your privacy, please avoid sharing your real name, keep your camera turned off, and don't share any personal sensitive information about you. 🙂
Just dial in here:
