Problem is that many people follow false prophets like Michael Saylor. "There is NO SECOND BEST, cyber hornets bla bla bla" then once the Ethereum ETF is announced he proclaims "there is a second best." people tend to screw up and by protecting their assets on a wallet level, as opposed to the protocol level with multisig, these problems are mitigated. In addition, the hardware wallet guides them through the process of restoring, much easier for most than setting up a multisig transaction. I only advice people on bitcoin and would not even poke anything else with a stick and help them to securely store their bitcoin, Shamir is a good way to do that. The other wallets I don't even want to try, I've had some less than optional experiences with wallets in the past, dodgy hardware security, not so random RNGs, etc. so stick to what I know is good, especially since wallets for HODLing are supposed to be boring. I would for example never, ever purchase or advice people to use a ledger, no matter how pretty those new, stackable models look with their eink display, I just don't trust them. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. The Shamir Secret Sharing, is entirely open-source and offers versatility by allowing integration with passphrases and multisig configurations as needed. For instance, one can restore a Shamir Backup using Electrum, not just Trezor. My preference for Shamir Backup over multisig is due to its operation at the wallet level, ensuring the security of all assets within, not limited to Bitcoin, whereas multisig typically secures only Bitcoin transactions. While combining both is possible to enhance key management strategies, it is not a common practice. Many of the people that consult me hold various digital assets (ugh yes but I don't judge), which are also protected by Shamir's method. The choice to exclusively use Satoshilabs as a wallet provider is based on their established reputation as pioneers in hardware wallets and pooled mining. Although minor vulnerabilities exist that may necessitate wallet recovery, a simple factory reset can address these issues and curb hasty financial decisions. Shamir Backup is favored for its straightforward approach to digital legacy planning, allowing each family member to possess a unique key, with an additional key safeguarded by a legal professional. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Looks very nice! ๐ ๐ One question though, is the seedsafe compatible with the SSS wallets created by the Trezor wallet? The Shamir Split Seed uses 20 or 33 words. Whenever I guide people to create their own wallet I always recommend using the Shamir Backup on the Trezor as it is the easiest and safest way to store your bitcoin. A compromise of a single key ๐ won't result in theft or loss of your coins. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Check out a doctor,don't rely on advice on #Nostr. Peripheral cyanosis is when your hands, fingertips, or feet turn blue due to a lack of oxygen-rich blood. Some causes include Raynaud's disease, cardiovascular problems, and hypothermia. All organs and tissues need oxygen to function. A person's body absorbs oxygen from the air that they breathe. It's important to find out the cause because it may need quick treatment to prevent permanent injury. https://media.tenor.com/_k5BD8G7P0kAAAAM/i-know-this-is-very-difficult-for-you-to-talk-about-eric-cartman.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw He's a fraud! npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw https://media.tenor.com/JxNprXTfWAQAAAAM/correcting-mustache-mustache.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw https://media.tenor.com/ukz7Y6KAavsAAAAM/putin-%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw โI could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldnโt lose any voters" โ is headed for a real-world reckoning. ๐๐คก npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw https://media.tenor.com/wjEQw0Uj5_sAAAAM/hey-whats-that-thing-randy-marsh.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Sorry Jeff, don't shoot the messenger but suspect that is exactly what it is. ๐ npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw https://media.tenor.com/qpPMpZAkzc0AAAAM/bear-grylls-eats.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw User feedback is an invaluable asset for product development. The features integrated into GENERAL BYTES ATMs for example are predominantly shaped by user suggestions accumulated over a period of over ten years. Our methodology is straightforward: engage with customers, encourage their input, deliberate on their suggestions during team meetings, prioritize the enhancements, introduce new functionalities, launch updated versions, and then continue the cycle by seeking further feedback. This iterative process is a cornerstone for the evolution and success of any product, regardless of its nature. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw That's an impressive setup @npub17h7โฆsd76, it really captures the essence of a mad scientist's lab! ๐ ๐ฌ I'm curious, was this project a tough nut to crack?

Best regards from a sunny Portugal! npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Today marks a significant milestone as I announce my retirement. Over a decade ago, I embarked on an adventure with #Bitcoin ATMs, a journey that began with its fair share of challenges. My experience as an operator was fraught with difficulties, dealing with manufacturers who failed to meet expectations in delivery, stability, and features. This led me to join the team at generalbytes.com, which at the time was a small but ambitious group. Our goal was clear: to establish the company as the premier Bitcoin ATM platform by providing the best features at the most competitive prices. Through dedication and innovation, we have expanded globally, boasting over 11,000 installed machines, claiming more than 30 percent of the market share, and growing our team to over 60 employees. Today, GENERAL BYTES stands as the leading #BitcoinATM manufacturer in the industry. As I transition into retirement, I look forward to cherishing moments with family and friends, embracing a period of relaxation that has been long overdueโsave for a memorable week spent in California in the mid-2000s. The adjustment to a slower pace of life will be new to me, but it's a change I welcome with open arms and a hint of humor. The plan for my immediate future involves indulging in the vast array of entertainment that Netflix has to offer. Once I've explored the depths of its library, I'll turn my attention to seeking new ventures that will contribute to the enhancement and fortification of Bitcoin. I am always on the lookout for fresh challenges and innovative ideas, so feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the commentsโI thrive on engaging with creative minds. Below, I've shared some charts that illustrate the remarkable growth of GENERAL BYTES. Reflecting on these achievements fills me with a sense of pride, and I am grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary journey. The mission I set out to accomplish has been fulfilled, and I step back with a sense of completion and anticipation for what the future holds. https://image.nostr.build/23fc776d81a3c7e5e8bff3063f05229ef2f20959e62d1da1b69bd3aee362e44c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/34b88960d0a8e4507ac7832350d62c8a514d841ded7f7ca8020cc7cedbf7f37f.jpg npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw While I concur with the notion that blending different elements can be intriguing, I personally view the majority of AI-generated 'art' as lacking the essence of true art. Moreover, I question the merit of purely AI-created images, considering them an inefficient use of computational resources and bandwidth. Additionally, unlike traditional art, which can appreciate in value, AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted due to their non-human origin. Conversely, the very debate over whether a creation qualifies as art often elevates it to that status. Nevertheless, such discussions, despite their philosophical significance, tend to leave me unenthused. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Thought of the day: AI generated #art bores me. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw ๐ค Is it art ๐จ or is it money laundering? ๐ดโโ ๏ธ npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw What's that on her belly?

Try to find out what brand the bed is and contact the manufacturer. They should be able to send you a replacement if they are still in production. Replacing looks like an easy job, one screw to remove. How old is the bed? The part is made of plastic and extended heat, pressure, and age, can make the plastic brittle and break over time. Should you decide to print one with a 3d printer, use ABS and a very high infill to prevent it from snapping under pressure.

While the raisins themselves are a treat, it's the surprise texture that deters me from enjoying this sweet and chewy delight. It's not the flavor that's off-putting for me, but the thought of what that little extra crunch could be just made me skip the chocolate raisins for good. Insects are more common in our diets than many might think, due to their ubiquitous presence in the food production process. For instance, the FDA allows up to 136 insect parts in a 16-ounce jar of peanut butter and up to 74 insect fragments in a 4.4-ounce chocolate bar. Pasta is not exempt either, with a permissible count of 225 insect fragments per 225 grams. Even coffee lovers (guilty here!) might be surprised to learn that they could be consuming around 120 insect parts with their daily brew. While this may sound unsettling, these levels are considered safe for consumption and are a natural part of agricultural practices so no worries, if you like your chocolate covered raisins, definitely indulge yourself! npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Hate to crash the feast, but when you spot the fruit fly eggs in the raisins, I bet your cravings will vanish quick!

While Bitcoin itself is designed to be impartial and apolitical, it's fascinating to observe the diverseโand sometimes eccentricโworldviews held by some of its enthusiasts. Despite these oddities, my admiration for Bitcoin and its surrounding culture remains strong, even if occasionally the more vocal members express rather outlandish views. npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw https://media.tenor.com/XIF4nwIpTfAAAAAM/conspiracy-theory.gif npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Did Azerbaijan kill 1/3 of their neighboring population in the last year?

I stayed with Sonder in South Beach, Miami on several occasions. Their concept is that you don't need to check-in, you just use their app on your phone to open the main door to the hotel lobby and use your phone or pin to open the door to your room, there's is someone at reception but there is no need to visit them during your stay. I'm pretty sure this is the reason they require you to ID before you arrive. If this is not for you, you can always decide to stay elsewhere but for me Sonder is definitely the better way to travel.

(finally!) โ Enrollment via the Persona KYC system was fast, just needed an ID and proof of address (utility bill) and I was verified in minutes. Possibly because they already had my data from another service that uses the same system. ๐ โ Sent some lightning payments to my Strike wallet... Easy peasy! Strike will be my goto wallet for LN from now on. (sorry breez, Alby, and Wallet of Satoshi)โก โ Adding bank accounts is super easy to do. I've transferred some fiat to my account but expect it to arrive tomorrow or the day after. ๐ โ No shitcoin distractions in the app make it refreshing and easy to use, unlike the ๐ฉ casino ๐ฐ vibe you get at most exchanges. Finally an app I can recommend to new bitcoin users without fear that they will buy the 'new coin' or 'fast mover' bs exchanges love to push. โ Updated my lightning adress on Nostr to [email protected] so everyone can see how cool ๐ I am now. ๐ โ Suggestion for improvement. It would be nice to specify LN payments in sats instead of just BTC (by tapping on it maybe?) as most LN transactions are in sats, not BTC. โ Not too excited about the current withdrawal levels that max out at 25k Euro per few days. We're talking Lambos and private jet flights here so some users will really need at least 100x that 25k limit. (asking for a friend) An option to verify to a higher tier like most exchanges have is something I would really like to see in the app. Overal the Strike Europe ๐ช๐บ app gave me a much better than expected user experience and wanted to congratulate to the dev team on a job well done! ๐ Obrigado Jack! npub1e5j7w6m2zude5qdpv63hmtnay9lqen2h876nyp72d4xss27acczsr30492 martijnw Happy #Bitcoin halving!
