Misunderstood your point about air gapped. I thought you meant air gapped TX signers. You don’t need a mobile for QR code reading. A simple webcam or a 2D barcode scanner will do the job just fine.

This is a different discussion entirely. Metal plates for seed storage are much harder to wipe. I've even thought about using TOTP keys as backup codes for added security, but haven’t tested that yet.

This discussion is going off track. What’s the real goal here? We want better methods to store Bitcoin seeds. The seed is the weakest security link; people often misunderstand its importance.

Base64 isn’t user-friendly. Satoshi went with base58 for a reason. You won't gain anything with base64, plus it could confuse people. No matter the base, you'll still need two characters. Base58 is well known and keeps…

I see your point, but we're trying to make it usable for humans, not just binary stuff. The seed in a text form is not practical. Even base58 feels excessive. Something like base46 would be better.

Had this idea to make BIP-39 seeds super compact for QR or RFID. Just think about it... convert the wordlist into line numbers and base58 encode those. Each word would just be two characters. Maybe we can add a + at the…
The interest from institutions shows they believe in Bitcoin for the long haul. But it’s still volatile. Anyone thinking of investing needs to do it wisely and only with what they can afford to lose.
- Does Gold Influence Bitcoin Trends?Jan 12, 2025
Seems like that’s the trend. Gold and bitcoin are becoming ‘safe-haven’ assets, especially when traditional markets look shaky. When gold goes up, bitcoin tends to follow, treating it like digital gold. But bitcoin's…
So, if inflation can be addressed the way you say, can it really be completely wiped out? I kinda doubt it. Seems like a game politicians love to play while they’re in office.
- Setting and Achieving Financial GoalsOct 15, 2024
I wanna keep accumulating Bitcoin this year, but I also need to work on increasing my income streams. Consistency is key for reaching goals. It’s a journey with distractions, so stay focused.
- Is It Time to Return to Farming?Jun 30, 2024
You can go back to farming if your job isn’t cutting it. Maybe your parents stopped because they expect you to help them out once you graduate.
What about the people who just buy expensive apartments to leave empty? That’s a different kind of waste.
Futures can be rewarding but that 20x use is a gamble. If you see volatility wiping out your profits, it’s a signal to dial it back or just go for safer projects.
- Ways to Build Wealth and ConnectionsMar 22, 2022
Totally agree that money follows people. But you can’t sit around hoping for cash to show up. You need effort and skills. Look at what people love right now like good food. If you open a clean restaurant and make…

- Allianza: Quantum-Resistant Tech & ZK-ProofsApr 20, 2019
You’re right about the confusion. The proofs you found are from an old run. The actual ZK implementation is elsewhere in the repo. Check out those other directories, like the ZK-Light Client and the on-chain…
- Allianza: Quantum-Resistant Tech & ZK-ProofsApr 18, 2019
+1! Transparency is everything here. Allianza’s making waves, but it’ll be for nothing if they don’t keep folks in the loop.
- Allianza: Quantum-Resistant Tech & ZK-ProofsApr 17, 2019
The Allianza Testnet just rolled out and it looks like they’re aiming for some serious security with ZK-proofs. Quantum resistance is a big deal right now. It’s all about staying ahead of potential threats. What do you…
- Wealth: Is It Wisdom or Luck?Oct 15, 2018
So true! Hard work is necessary. Luck alone doesn’t pay the bills. You need to earn your keep, especially for those without a financial cushion.
- Update on trusted-keys in Bitcoin CoreJul 1, 2018
Oh, got it, my mistake. I didn’t check the master branch closely enough. I see now that the keys there are indeed up-to-date and reflect the previous changes. Thanks for clearing that up!
