BITCOIN DIY SIGNING DEVICE THREAD

Here I'll keep track of the various complete DIY signing devices and their relevant repositories which contain essential info for acquiring parts, assembling, and flashing.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@D00MSDRE Very lazy answer: Use @RoninDojoNode as your node, connect to it with @SparrowWallet, sign transactions with @SeedSigner.

@Metatainment More engagement/glow posting. Already been discussed with him.

@GhostofWhitman @Pleb331 @wtfakamoto @x218935 @MaximalFreedom @lm_tldr @zedact3d This is misleading. Buying someone else's KYCed bitcoin is fine, since it's not tied to *your* ID.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@Nme1ess2 @SamouraiWallet @SparrowWallet Yes. If you're going to use bitcoin bought with KYC as an initial deposit on Bisq, use a Whirlpool post-mix output so that it can't be traced back to your identity.

Bitcoin privacy tools @SamouraiWallet and @SparrowWallet have been added to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Online Anonymity".

@SamouraiWallet @btccamper Just pointing out the goalpost. 😉

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

Did I dream this or did I read *somewhere* that the @SamouraiWallet Android app will support a "mix to xpub" feature sometime in the future?

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@SamouraiWallet @btccamper So the argument is 5 mobile users and 5 addresses from known xpubs on the input side, 4 addresses from known xpubs on the output side. So that remaining 1 is obvious.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@btccamper @SamouraiWallet Ah so there's where the goalpost goes.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@FullyOrange @SeedSigner @jokoono @revetuzo Absolutely it requires trust in the manufacturer. I would rather build my own signing device with general purpose hardware, which is why I use a SeedSigner.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

Is it really so hard to understand? Ooooh, the latter hurts some "Bitcoin only" companies' profits.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@Cryptocasts4u @Vikingobitcoin9 Ah I used to have the 15 methods post there. 🤦‍♂️ Anyway it's at the bottom.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@Cryptocasts4u @Vikingobitcoin9 Look at my last name. 😏

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@carlucci7777 @btc_gorilla @SamouraiWallet It doesn't really affect me because I can use Sparrow and my own Dojo node, yes. I'm excited about this for those who can't.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@SeedSigner @jokoono @revetuzo BitBox02 does have good defense against this in that they put their signing key in the device when it's manufactured, so malicious firmware couldn't be installed on it. If I'm remembering correctly.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@jokoono @SeedSigner @revetuzo Do any wallets (coordinators) not validate that the signed tx coming back from the signing device doesn't match the unsigned tx that was sent to it?

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@jokoono @SeedSigner @revetuzo Yep, this is why it's important to have a Bitcoin-only machine, which would severely limit the chances of it getting infected with such malware.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@jokoono @SeedSigner @revetuzo You're gonna make him say tradeooooffffsss!

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@snitchy_asc @SamouraiWallet I'm slow. 🥲

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@SamouraiWallet @discretelog @snitchy_asc Yeah I remember an issue on Gitlab about it, but I don't think that one considered PayNyms.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@SamouraiWallet @snitchy_asc This would be very cool, especially if the timing isn't important. On the receiving end, I would want the output to go to my post-mix account so that it can continue remixing and I get post-mix spending tools.

[Kyle Linkinbio @KyleOfTheCorn]

@heSAYSuh @Vikingobitcoin9 You're still marked for an amount which you bought with KYC.
