@npub1aeh2zw4el… Encrypting the Spark wallet with an nsec was a great idea. What do you think about backing up the nsec using NIP-06? Am I the only freak that likes this NIP?

I used Shakespeare to vibe code my new meetup website. It has NIIP-52 calendar events, links, and a NIP-23 blog. I am considering adding a NIP-15 merch store/support page, but haven't figured out all the details yet. I'll share it next week under a new npub. I love the Bitcoin meetup guide on GitHub. It's giving me a lot of Great ideas.

I thought clawstr was a shitcoin before I saw Derek talk about it on nostr. For the record, I am 99.99999999% sure Marti has nothing to do with it. The only reason I am not 100% sure is because I can't prove a negative. :)

I make greeting cards for my kids that pay them Bitcoin with lightning and Cashu. It gives a visual, tangible representation of electronic cash. That's why I think it's a useful tool for teaching smaller children how to earn, spend, and save sats. Because you can't tell a five year old to read the White Paper. "Put away The Cat In The Hat Tommy! It's time to have fun staying rich with BIP39!" So I think Cashu is a great first step. "Thank you you for putting away you're toys Tommy. Here is a piece of paper redeemable for 1,000 sats." Show , don't tell.

Building on the base layer with SHA1 hash collisions are the most galaxy brain thing since Adam Back's hashcash. Why haven't I heard more about this?🤯

I enjoyed the episode a lot but got the impression that it was a bit time constrained which makes sense. Hopefully Saylor is convinced to come back for a long rip

    Now days There's at least 10 hardware wallet manufacturers beyond Trezor and Ledger: id argue more recently in favor is the Coldcard, blockstream Jade, and passport prime. Seed signer was popular for a while, how many built their own? I Wouldn't be surprised if people overstated the self custody on hardware wallets as they know they should or intend to im the near future.
