Strange that the "related posts" didn't show yours for me! Apologies sir.
This is exactly why we don't even allow users to do dice roll entry on Passport.
Juice is almost never worth the squeeze and users WILL mess it up at some point.
If followed correctly, it should be fine.
But I don't see the point for 99.999% of people and most people won't follow it correctly.
Should have been more specific, I'm referring to allowing a user to provide entropy that is known to be insufficient.
You can't calculate the entropy of a given seed phrase, outside of just rejecting known-bad seeds like bacon bacon bacon etc.
No, not an ad at all.
It's important that people realize how dangerous dice rolls are, and that the main reason for potentially doing them (compromised RNG) is easy to prevent by using multiple RNG sources from different manufacturers, plus an additional open-source RNG source.
For the vast, vast majority of threat models dice rolls provide no real-world security and introduce massive risk of loss.
I explained in the post, you can absolutely do it with multiple inputs with SegWit, no Taproot necessary.
Yes! Basically just look for the most modern CPU version you can afford and do a minimum of 8GB of RAM.
Thanks, Elvis!
I tried to add some optimism at the end but it's certainly hard to not come away and be down with how insane this all is...
They certainly don't have to matter, and the ideal tech works with or without government approval.
But many people who are on the fence will err on the side of doing the "legal" thing, even if it means giving up freedom, so while we still can I think it's valuable to fight legal battles like this and raise community awareness.
Thanks so much, @Car!
CBDCs are something I've wanted to write about for quite some time, was thrilled with how it turned out with @gladstein's help.
What? Nostr is alongside all other socials (X) on the bottom where it should be.
It doesn't "promote" Monero, it properly recognizes that Monero is freedom tech and helps people find ways to support it if they so choose.
Only if you want to leverage Magic Backups, can use with a normal seed phrase without!
Also in theory it will work with GrapheneOS/CalyxOS SeedVault, though it hasn't been thoroughly tested.
- They are via Prime Trust, their custodian.
- Maybe, maybe not. That's the whole deal with PayPal as well. It might be your money or it might not depending on the whims of the custodian. That is not Bitcoin.
The article is published on a custodians website, not sure how you thought that wouldn't raise obvious red flags.
On the rest: I think I understood your point well and disagree at a fundamental level. You are all for cheering on "good" custodians (like Swan, I assume) as supposedly they bring mass adoption.
I view all custodians as threats to Bitcoin and custodial Bitcoin as simply PayPal 2.0 without any of the intrinsic benefits of Bitcoin.
The literal, described purpose of Bitcoin in the whitepaper is to remove the need for trusted third parties. Re-introducing them and spending thousands of words cheering them on and intentionally denigrating self-custody is not something I'll sit idly by and watch happen.
