Only one day in, but have to say that if you have *any* ability to make it to #hcpp23 next year, DO IT!

I knew these were "my people" when I saw @SamouraiWallet, @ZeusLN, @cakewallet, @GrapheneOS, and @pop_os_official commonly in the wild.

The cypherpunk future is now.
Some of the best presentations I've heard so far in the space, and all so beautifully aligned with cryptoanarchy, cypherpunk ideals, and sovereignty.

Seeing so many people in the space still holding these values gives me so much hope.
Still can't believe I got the chance to share a stage with this incredible lineup of speakers, *very* humbling and inspiring to keep working on improving my presentations and oratory skills.

The spell-weaving, captivating ability of many of these presenters is unbelieveable.
I'll share the recordings links/playlist ASAP as well, many of the presentations are being recorded and will be available afterward.

1/ So absolutely thrilled to announce that I'll be joining @FOUNDATIONdvcs as Head of Content next week!

My goal from day one is building out the best content and educational material in the space for sovereignty and personal privacy. Image
2/ I want users to be able to come to Foundation for not only sovereignty tech, but all the info and content they need for a holistic approach to personal privacy as we continue building out our tools and offerings to empower the community.
3/ A heartfelt thank you to @zachherbert and the team at Foundation for following my work in the space and inviting me to join them, empowering what I'm passionate about and helping them expand and grow their content strategy.

It's going to be an *awesome* combo.

Bitcoin maximalists are really making it easy to separate those who actually care about freedom and cypherpunk ideals and those who simply want to pump their bags.

Asking for millions of $ in funding to attack #Monero instead of spending it on #Bitcoin privacy dev is disgusting.
Ethics/care for human freedom aside, Monero doesn't give an F, and such an attack would provide a live chance to test (and likely improve) Monero's anti-fragility.

If Bitcoiners want to spend their money hardening Monero and funding miners, they have the freedom to.
I freaking love bear markets because they separate those who are ideologically aligned from those who are in it for ulterior motives and simply want "their" thing to win.

Thankfully there are *many* who are in it for the right reasons and understand the fight.t

Such an honor to be able to go on @WhatBitcoinDid for this one and be able to cover the immensely important topic of digital privacy with @PeterMcCormack.

#Monero is such a valuable tool for freedom, I hope more people will take the time to see how it can fit into their toolkit.
Many of the most common issues or worries people have with #Monero are broken down in detail (with *tons* of linked resources) here:

And if you want to start taking active steps towards personal privacy more broadly (there is a lot more to privacy, and thus freedom, than just Bitcoin/Monero!) this should be a great place to get started:

Attempted to make a semi-exhaustive list here, please read through and let me know if I missed something, misspoke, or need to add more detail to any of the proposals:

sethforprivacy.com/posts/proposed…

Hoping to make this a useful and up-to-date list of proposals both WIP and DOA.
Posted on @stacker_news as well, per the usual 🙂

1/ Time to share some of my thoughts and experiences from getting this self-sovereign #LightningNetwork stack up and running.

tl;dr - not for the faint of heart/non-tech-savvy, but once configured and up and running it seems to be working quite well for me!
2/ For the Bitcoin node, I simply exposed the Dojo bitcoind node's RPC that I already had up, and was able to easily access it across my home's network:

code.samourai.io/dojo/samourai-…

Be sure to write down the ports used here if using a Dojo node externally, as they're non-standard.
3/ First off in the stack is @Core_LN:

github.com/ElementsProjec…

The installation process was solid, and I was able to leverage a modified version of their systemd script to get it to run on boot as a service:

Oof.

Anyone with a more #LightningNetwork-focused following want to run the same poll and see what you get?

In some ways I'm glad I'm not alone but that's... Not exactly the UX normies will put up with.

Do you all think this is why custodial LN is so commonly used?
If you voted in my poll don't vote here, but will add polls by others that are similar here to compare among follower sets.

Thanks for kicking it off @L0laL33tz!
