Last Notes
Foot-gun = no fun.
I ran a small Cashu mint for 1 year. Yesterday I found it empty. About 1.5M sats gone, and only around 247k had ever been put in.
Nobody broke into my server. Nobody touched my node. I did this to myself.
The setup file that comes with the software has a line that says, in plain words, "put a random key here." It even tells you the command to make one. I did not run the command. I pasted the instruction itself in as my key and hit go.
It started up fine. That was the problem. For months my mint's secret key was a sentence that anyone who has ever opened that setup file has seen. Eventually somebody noticed, used it to print themselves fake money from my mint, and cashed it out.
I was stupid twice.
Once, because I never read the one line you are supposed to read twice.
Twice, because I saw it start and took that as "it's safe."
Nutshell software does refuse to start on a couple of obviously fake keys. It just does not refuse its own example. Should it? Yes, and I have sent them a fix.
Should I have checked instead of assuming? Also yes.
If I never looked at what the guard rail was, I do not get to blame the guard rail.
The mint is off for good.
Open source is retards helping retards. This week I was the retard. So here is my turn helping: a fix and a warning. I still believe in this stuff. The bug that got me was in a file I could open, read, fix, and send back the same day. That is the whole point.

You really don’t know about multisig channels. Do you?

Among all the deaths we experience, the biological death is probably the least challenging. Everybody seems to be able to do that. But the death of the ego, which must be accomplished if the Self is to dwell in the kingdom of God, is a very difficult one. It's an ego-cide we must consciously de-cide to commit, for the ego is that organ of consciousness that creates the illusion of security through structure, but the structure is what prevents us from deciding and ultimately from living.
Actually, what's needed is not so much a death for the ego as a demotion, but the ego in its self-centered insecurity sees any kind of change as life threatening. The irony is that once the ego relinquishes its power, it retains a vitally important place in the psyche. We must have strong egos in order to give them up, and there's a difference between a strong ego and a big ego.
A big, inflated ego is an obvious compensation for an inferiority complex.
In the kingdom within, the ego is not the king; that is the proper role of the Self. The ego's appropriate place is to serve as an organ of consciousness, of discernment and identity. But the ultimate discerner of one's true vocation is the Self, and how the Self gets constellated into the world in creative, dynamic, and evolving modes of consciousness.

Nsec(dot)app did a long time ago. Remote singers are great, but on iOS it’s definitely got its limitations.
Very nice! I have the 30 core GPU M3 Max. I love it!

OH MY GOD…
Is this from Idiocracy?
I’ve come to the realization that I don’t post enough. I’ve come to the realization that don’t care enough to.
Only time L-BTC was rugged was with a federated model.
I see “CreaseGate” coming very soon
That’s why I only ever supported NWC and Cashu in @npub1fa0…0z97

There are people that should fight the good fight in public. I don’t disagree.
Nostr allows you to foot gun.
McDonald’s allows you to Big Mac
Just because someone uses nostr doesn’t mean that their notes are safe forever. You still have to be in control of the key/clients/relays that you write to, and if they just decide to erase everything one day…
Nitter was good when TWITTER got greedy. But it’s not twitter anymore and hopefully it won’t ever be twitter again.
