1/19 Importing a BIP85 derived key from @COLDCARDwallet to @SamouraiWallet and then connecting to @RoninDojoUI

A thread on minimizing trust by generating keys offline, compiling an Android app, and using your own node.
2/19 BIP85 enabled wallets can create private keys for many wallets. This way, users only need to secure 1 backup. From there all other wallets can be restored by their index #. See this thread 👇 for setting up a @COLDCARDwallet from scratch & BIP85 uses.
3/19 Securing your master seed phrase in a durable medium like metal is advisable. @bitcoinbackup is awesome and there are many other resourceful solutions.

1/56 @SamouraiWallet + @RoninDojoUI

A thread on privacy, anonymity, & options.
-Samourai Mobile Wallet
-Ronin CLI
-Dojo full node
-Ronin UI
-Whirlpool GUI
-Electrum
-Explorer
-OXT
-KYCP
2/56 @SamouraiWallet & @RoninDojoUI are 2 different developer teams. Dojo is meant to be used as your own full node in support of your SW for better privacy & trust mitigation. Ronin is the UI used to interact with your dojo.

3/56 @SamouraiWallet is a #BTC only, mobile wallet for Android. Like any other HD wallet, your xpub is used to display balances & generate addresses. As with any HD wallet, if you’re not running your own node then you’re introducing trust by using someone else’s.

1/17 Having spent the last few days in the front row of a @SamouraiWallet vs. @wasabiwallet debate, it seems like the strongest argument against SW is "they have the users' xpubs & may be compelled to hand them over to law enforcement".

This struck me as a half-baked argument.
2/17 I'm not an attorney, however, I do have experience handling digital evidence in support of litigation. It's been years since I was in that line of work but by all means if you're an attorney and/or Bitcoiner & are so inclined, correct me if I'm wrong...
3/17 First of all let's clear something up. SW needs your xpub in order to display your wallet balance. Your xpub is sensitive in terms of your tx history, balances, & spend tx's. So it makes sense that this may be information that is sought after by law enforcement. However...

1/18 Probably not the best explanation but here's an attempt to highlight what's at stake with Coinbase ("CB") from my point of view.

Call me crazy or paranoid but a company with your personal data & your public data will not resist the temptation to combine them.
2/18 The info transmitted on the #Bitcoin network is public. Meaning anyone in the world can watch the network & see all the addresses/transactions made. This public info is kept in a decentralized database that dates back to the first transaction and catalogs all transactions.
3/18 The public availability of this data isn't concerning to you because your true identity is masked by a pseudonymous address. Even though evidence of every transaction is captured in the database, nobody knows it's you unless you tell them or you leak sensitive information.

1/10 Where do seed backups go when they die?

A thread on various seed destruction methods on the heavy duty, 2mm, 304 stainless steel @bitcoinbackup from @Coinkite
2/10 You drained all your #BTC from an old wallet. Is it safe to just throw the old backup in the trash?

If you had KYC Bitcoin in that wallet then some of those addresses are tied to your name.

How would you feel if someone signed a message from an address tied to your name?
3/10 Properly destroying your seeds is important for preserving privacy even after the wallet is no longer used.

Here is multiple caliber test footage of four @bitcoinbackup plates from @Coinkite starting with .22 caliber.

1/19 A thread on BIP85, setting up a @COLDCARDwallet from scratch, & using a primary seed to derive entropy for @bluewalletio & Bitcoin Core.

"One seed to rule them all, One Key to find them, One Path to bring them all, And in cryptography bind them."
2/18 The cool thing about BIP85 is that it enables one to create several keys for several #Bitcoin wallets from a single, primary seed. i.e., you just have 1 seed to protect & all your #Bitcoin wallets are safe. Perfect for people who like trying several wallets.
3/19 @COLDCARDwallet has implemented BIP85 in their latest firmware release. Because they're awesome. And they have the coolest gear. So get one for yourself, open the tamper-evident packaging, plug it into your @usbCOLDPOWER and follow along.
