@stevenroose3@lopp Thanks, I’m pointing two Bitaxes at the pool now.
I already have a testnet4 address, but if you don’t want to generate one, you can use: tb1qcck8708pw6vlzhrsfxy7uzg9ck6yc3m73m0kfs
COHORT 12 IS UNDERWAY AND WE ARE THRILLED TO INTRODUCE OUR 4 EDUCATORS FOR THIS JOURNEY! ⚡️🎓
We are honored to have: @WNyachikanda – Founder of @BitJracademy all the way from Zambia ,🙌@GhaffarBTC Managing Director at Groundswell Project ,@D_plus__plus Bitcoin Professor & Software Engineer, @mukungufelix building @thecore21m
We truly appreciate each of them for committing their time and expertise to Cohort 12. Their insights across their respective topics will be invaluable to our students over the next two months! 🙌
We are excited for what lies ahead! 🚀
BITCOIN FOR EVERYONE!!!
That depends. You DO need the seed in order to validate that your wallet is correctly following RFC 6979.
You DON’T need the seed to test if an anti-exfil (Jade) nonce is properly incorporating host entropy.
(However, if both the Jade AND the host wallet (Blockstream App, formerly known as Blockstream Green) are compromised and colluding, you won’t be able to catch that without the seed.)
EntropyLab’s first release candidate, v1.0.0rc1, is here. 🪨
A Bitcoin key and wallet calculator in one HTML file. You bring your own entropy; it does the math offline.

🚨 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
We’re kicking off the Golden Gate Bitcoin Conference lineup with two people who have been teaching, building, and pushing Bitcoin and Lightning forward. ⚡️
@D_plus__plus, everyone’s favorite Bitcoin professor, makes the technical side of Bitcoin and Lightning understandable while building tools and educating Bitcoiners around the world.
@Jestopher_BTC, co-founder & CEO of @ambosstech, is building the infrastructure helping Lightning grow into a global payments network.
They’ve spent years helping Bitcoiners learn, build, and use Lightning.
Exactly the kind of people we want on stage at Golden Gate Bitcoin.
More speakers coming soon. 👀

@adam3us yes. mostly here for the lols and nerdsniping. but also getting the “dice roll bros” (of which i am one) to consider that rolling dice once isn’t a magic wand that solves everything.
@MandelDuck yes, e.g. RFC 6979 uses the sighash and private key to generate a deterministic nonce. but not all wallets use it! and users likely never audit it! so dice rolls or gtfo! /s
@D_plus__plus anti-exfil is the way to protect yourself from rogue HWW with trapdoor non-random/decodable nonces when you thought it was doing deterministic DSA/Schnorr.
