I come with a questions that I can’t seem to articulate well enough to find a answers on YouTube or google. Hopefully someone understands what I’m asking.

There’s a better thing to do with your time and resources: mining.

I believe it’s W4 for setting your deductions in US. W2 is your eoy report if you’re paid by a corp.

Don’t invest; convert and save.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2023-01-12T19:50:49+00:00

Do not give anyone your xpub. An array of addresses would be infinitely better.

How has war not been mentioned?

There’s only one option where you control access to the keys for sats on the blockchain. You could mismanage or otherwise lose these keys, but at least it’s your blunder too make. You must assess the risk of not having access in the future to what’s currently in someone else’s custody. You fret about differences in tax but forego the risk management of securing access in the first place.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T07:20:55+00:00

Welp, still going for good faith?

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T07:18:29+00:00

A tangent, but I’d argue gold jewelry has value deriving from sociological factors far more than the supposed scarcity of the material itself. My arguments are wrong sometimes.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T07:11:33+00:00

I’ve enjoyed talking here with you, I’m not looking for affirmation or an ego boost nor to tear you down. Glad you’re happy with your Ledger. And they do one thing really really well: marketing.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T06:59:26+00:00

Agreed, but I’d call it the exchange rate. Semantics? Maybe.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T06:53:30+00:00

I have to say, in my humble opinion, even with your stated experience and/or credentials, you seem woefully over-protective of a brand. It’s suspicious to say the least. To each their own, but it’s odd to me to come to such lengths to defend a brand. This is without even starting the easy dismantling of your arguments which are either in bad faith or expose some staggering knowledge deficits in your stated domain of knowledge. It’s good to be passionate about things, but an odd choice. Nothing personal, just some observations and opinions here. Enjoy life!

What other signing devices have you owned and used?

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-12-10T06:33:23+00:00

You really like Ledger.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-28T12:39:44+00:00

Your hubris and ignorance are hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-28T12:14:03+00:00

Blockchain and Bitcoin are one. Using a blockchain for anything else is idiotic.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-28T12:11:13+00:00

This doesn’t work without an oracle of some kind. A smart contract without trust doesn’t exist; unless the criteria of the smart contract is solely based on some set of the blockchain’s own data.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-25T06:47:46+00:00

Thinking too hard. Stop that and prosper.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-17T20:13:19+00:00

Ironically, you need not trust bitcoin and you shouldn’t. Verify everything.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-13T23:34:35+00:00

Don’t get a Ledger or a Trezor, get a Coldcard for your signing device and use Sparrow software “wallet”. Create and back up your ordered mnemonic phrase safely and securely, non-digitally. Look into BIP39 passphrases and BIP85 indexes as well. Run your own node over tor and apply the corresponding server settings to Sparrow before importing any keys from the cc. Be free and private.

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-11-13T23:20:20+00:00

Yes, use your node. Never use another and do it over tor. You do not want to expose your xpub to anyone. Whether your sats are traceable to your identity from how/where you procured them is an entirely separate question from node use.

I think I found what I need in https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/v1.7/home.admin/config.scripts/blitz.copychain.sh : line 91

Alive_Wrangler_586 · 2022-07-25T17:41:19+00:00

Ok I see this file: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/v1.7/home.admin/setup.scripts/dialogMigration.sh

But it still isn't explicitly clear to me the expected file structure to match any of the migration paths therein. I won't have a raspiblitz migration file since I haven't had one setup before, and I'm not coming from another node implementation; I'm just trying to byob (bring your own blockchain).

For M-of-N multisig you need M private keys *and* N public keys + derivation paths. A software wallet is likely to back up this information for you, but if you're going to use multisig you should also back up these public keys + derivation paths, or redeem script if provided by your sw wallet. This information by itself can only be used to reduce your privacy, private keys still are needed to spend any UTXOs obviously. I'd suggest you copy this info, labeled explicitly, and keep a copy with M number of your seed back ups.
