Thanks for posting this buddy. Really glad you made it out to the market. Can't wait for the next one!

Yes there were some snags - largely due to problems that I unfortunately caused by not realizing how quickly things would change. We initially set out to raise a few thousand dollars, and thought the protest would of course remain "legal". Instead we got martial law, shut bank accounts and over a million dollars in donations. We did NOT follow best practices out the gate and because of that only 70% of the funds got directly into the hands of truckers.

I did a talk about it in Prague and what I would consider changing in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWRjPRkltZ0

Sorry guys, I'm still not up to date on the finer points of SN and how things work. This is my bad.

One suggestion that might work for you:

Open Aqua wallet, receive via Liquid and tap the "direct peg in" option. It will serve you up a regular bitcoin address and as soon as the on chain funds confirm it will convert to liquid in your wallet. If you're not a fan of the federated model of liquid, simply send out of Aqua to any lightning wallet you please, and it will create a boltz swap to lightning automatically.

The seeds are stored on the ram, but they are encrypted by your master seed, which is located in the secure element. I discuss the tradeoffs and risks in the video.

The coinmiles app is a fiat app, in that you are using credit cards in your name - which of course gives up your privacy. The location data is in regard to ensuring you're not buying gift cards from countries you can't spend them in.

Yes, if you are concerned about this then a fiat sats back app with credit cards requiring location info is not for you.

I use it myself. I keep any non KYC stuff I have separate.

Nowhere in the video do I say that this app is private - I would again assume that is implied when you load up your credit card information. For those looking to live a life with the best privacy and no compromises, stack non KYC, use cash, get a BTC circular economy going, coinjoin, but gift cards with lightning at various vendors that don't require an account, etc.

lol you're so fast!

LOLLLL you're so fast you beat me

LOL so damn fast!

LOL faster than me! Thanks for sharing man, much appreciated.

Easy to miss? Suggestions of how I could label it better?

Thanks man!

Alright fam, thanks so much for the chat! Had an absolute blast and I'll see you guys in the interwebs. Join me Friday for WAWB at 6pm ET and hit up the live chat :)

I do not, unfortunately. I even feel like an idiot navigating command line most of the time. I've dabbled with some very basic stuff in apps, but it's been quite a while. TBH it's tough balancing trying out every new thing, making videos, keeping healthy, and having a family, lol. I'd LOVE to learn to code, but I need to learn how to make days last 34 hours instead of 24.

The default privacy assurances of lightning are pretty decent so that's helpful, but I think there will be a need for on-chain privacy for quite some time, even for the average user. I like to see wallets adding payjoin fake coinjoins and collaborative transactions. I also like how Sparrow wallet has a toggle switch that either optimizes for efficiency or privacy, then automates the rest.

Automation is the key here though. If the default is shitty privacy, that's just what people will do.

And I was always into anyone who could pop and wave really well. Mr Wiggles is a legend.

"BennyP" or just "B" lol

So many great ones! John Vallis, Jeff Booth, Greg Foss, Francis Pouliot, NVK... just to name a few.

Love lightning addresses. I've experimented with Zebedee and Wallet of Satoshi on this. Alby is a new one for me, and I've now jotted it in my list of things to try!

Tips are definitely sneaking up on traditional youtube revenue. Right now I'd say in a GOOD month, my BTC tips are about as much as 10-20% of my regular YT pay (not including sponsors). That's actually pretty impressive now that I think about it - although YT ad revenue is dismal.

Honestly it's just a waiting game at this point. People will use it, they will see it removes gatekeepers, and they will love that. We haven't hit critical mass yet, but companies like Zebedee and Thunder games focusing on niche markets is probably a big piece of that puzzle.

It depends on what that hardware is protecting. Perhaps for an on the go additional layer of protection that's pretty good. For long term savings, I'm less sold. That said, I'll be testing out the Block device as soon as it drops and letting everyone know my thoughts then!

UI for hardware could be a little more user friendly. If we could get the hardware UI to be as simple out of the box as blue wallet, but with as many features just under the hood, that would be pretty solid. Bitcoiners tend to put WAY too much info front and center rather than keeping it simple.
