I dose work with VPN but I should have to rely on that to access the the features of your app

So to make sure things were okay I sent a small amount of sats to the app. But I couldn’t find where to pay the fee to make sure everything is safe and secure. How do I know if things are good? Why did I have to pay a fee but then it allowed me to do it without?

🚨🚨 URGENT: BTCPAYSERVER 🚨🚨 There is a critical vulnerability that is being actively exploited on BTCPay Server which can lead to loss of funds. Update your BTCPayServer to to 2.4.2 or turn off your BTCPayServer now.

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️In the next couple of days, a new shitcoin will fork off Bitcoin. It is a big security risk for people who just believe they will get an "airdrop" and want to sell it, to get more bitcoin. I will write more about it, but here is the TLDR: 👇

Put $20 of BTC in. With about any setup, not Bitkey specific: - Implement backups and safeguards. - Sequentially engage every failure mode and perform the related recovery method. - If your Bitcoin remains after each recovery then you’re on the right path. - Can you recover to an outside vendor? Testing that lets you sidestep the whole ecosystem in case of bricked devices and ToS breach by mfr. - Then analyze your human to human compromise risks based on any backups or hardware possession risks. - Run those scenarios and evaluate results.

🚨 ALERT: Coldcard hack - I have to say something. This didn't even cross my mind until I was talking to a friend yesterday. people have recently asked me whether I ever used or recommended Coldcard. The answer is no. I never used one, and I never recommended it. The only Coldcard I ever owned was one I received for free... and I eventually gave it away without ever using it. Here's what suddenly came back to my mind: 2-4 years ago I organized some of the biggest Bitcoin events in Germany. At one of those events, a guy showed up with around 20–25 Coldcards. He simply put them on the table and handed them out for free. If I remember correctly, they were older MK models, not even the latest generation at the time. When I remember correct the guy handing them out got them for free as well. (I cannot remember from who?) Everyone rushed to grab one. They were gone within a minute. Even back then I remember thinking: "Why is someone giving away so many hardware wallets for free?" Is this normal? I was just happy for the people. We didnt had a sponsorship with coldcard, it was just free stuff. I never had any negative thoughts about it and just assumed he was being generous. Now, after the recent Coldcard security incident, that memory suddenly feels... different. To be clear: I'm NOT claiming this was a state-level/inside job operation or that the giveaway was connected to anything malicious. But some people are now discussing whether, if a sophisticated state actor were ever targeting Bitcoin holders, distributing hardware wallets at scale could theoretically be one way to increase the number of potential future targets. Again, that's speculation - not evidence. I just found it interesting that this old memory suddenly feels different to me after everything that's happened. And I wanted to share it instead of keeping it to myself. Maybe someone else experienced something similar? Curious what you think. Disclaimer: Just sharing a memory that came back to me. I’m not making any allegations or claiming any connection - I have no evidence that one exists.

Is that something you guys would consider working on? This I would imagine would boost sales and bitcoiner confidence if I do say so myself. I can say I would most definitely be a customer if these concerns were met.

Just finished setting up my @Bitkey. I took me less than 10 minutes and was super simple and straightforward. In fact it was SO simple that my brain is struggling to believe I did it correctly😅. How do I make sure I did everything correctly before transferring funds?

I have a personal, but important, question for @TempletonThomas @milessuter @max_guise @clay_garrett What percent of your bitcoin stack do you have in @Bitkey ? Because if it's not 100%, why should I or anyone, have 100% in there? (as a baseline -- it's probably never a good idea to put 100% of any asset in a single source, but most do it anyways)

What are your guys’s opinion of the Bitkey?

How many times did you check on your watch only Wallet today?

If you're a Bitcoiner then you might be lucky enough to receive two whole shitcoin airdrops this year. Here is what you need to know, including a few warnings and how you can stay safe. This year, two of the most eccentric Bitcoiners who couldn't succeessfully change Bitcoin even if they sold their mother, will finally fork off and find out how it feels to be a shitcoiner with your own chain: - Paul Sports, the BIP300 guy who hates Lightning more than I hate shitcoins, and - Luke Dashjr, the BIP110 guy who eats cats and can't stop thinking about CSAM. Strange characters, great to see them go their own way. What does that mean for you? If you have say 1 BTC to your name, you will now also have 1 Paul-BTC and 1 Luke-BTC. Even if your own Bitcoin is stored on a hardware wallet, you will now also have two shitcoins that are also secured with the same keys as your real Bitcoin. Do I have to do anything? No. This all happens automatically. You don't need to do anything, you wouldn't even notice anything has happened. After all, what do you care whether some dude has forked Bitcoin and decided to become a shitcoiner. You can chill. What if I want to dump it? Obviously both of these shitcoins will be worthless and will go to zero so you might be tempted to sell them. Many of us never played with shitcoins so this is a real temptation. In the most likely case, there won't even be an exchange where you can sell these coins because both are going to be pretty small and pathetic, unlike previous attacks on Bitcoin that tried to fork (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, ...). If you decide to move these shitcoins to an exchange (and assuming there will be wallets that help you do so), a few things are important to keep in mind: - There will be wallets that help you move your forked shitcoins. These wallets might ask you for your hardware wallet's seed phrase and pretend to be nice but will actually steal all your BTC. NEVER AND IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE ENTER YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S SEED PHRASE INTO A COMPUTER. Wait for reputable wallets to appear that have been audited and thread extremely carefully. Even if you're a "pro Bitcoiner" you can lose your life savings if you mess this up. I repeat: If you enter your seed phrase into a malicious wallet, you could lose all of your REAL Bitcoins, not only that fake shit. - If you successfully moved your shitcoins off your wallet, you might be tempted to sell them on an exchange, assuming there will be one. Note that WHICHEVER SHITCOIN UTXO YOU DOXX (i.e. connect with your identity), ALSO DOXXES YOUR REAL BITCOIN. If you deposit your Luke-shitcoin to an exchange, that exchange WILL ALLSO SEE YOUR REAL BITCOIN on the real blockchain. If you send all your shitcoins to a random guy on the internet, that random guy will also see your entire real bitcoin stack. This is because the fork mirrors Bitcoin's history. So the summary is: - wallets will be released that appear to help you to move your shitcoins but they actually want to steal your Bitcoin. Dangerous. - if you move your shitcoins and connect them to your identity, then you also doxx your real bitcoins. Dangerous. - If you don't do anything, you're safe. Basically "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". Stay safe. Reject shitcoins.

The US government should buy a stake in @MicroStrategy

Let me explain why buying physical Gold is a scam. I won a 1 gram Gold bar from Robinhood a month ago. It was delivered from APMEX. The receipt showed the cost as $206.83. Current spot price is $160.80 for a gram. The highest rated gold buyer in my area (5.0 stars) gave me $120 for it. That translates into purchasing for $5791.24 an ounce and selling for $3360 an ounce. Meanwhile spot is $4498. Biggest scam out there. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll stick to Bitcoin, thanks.
