We're finally ready to talk about Flipper One — a project we've been grinding on for years and have rebuilt from scratch several times. Read blog post >>

I have a table in the FOSS area at the Vegas conference to talk with people about cold storage and do @SeedSigner demos, and I have some hardware available for purchase as well. We’re a little off the beaten path, but come by and say hi! 🧡
In celebration of Omarchy 3.5 being the first distro to ship with complete Linux compatibility for the new XPS Panther Lake laptops, @Dell made me a special unit with super + omarchy keys instead of Windows and Copilot. So damn cool!
Tim Cook reflects on the foundational lessons he gained from working alongside Steve Jobs.
"Steve was a teacher. He taught me the value of focus, the importance of simplicity, the fact that making things simple is so much harder than making things complex."
Cook explains that Jobs was obsessively product-focused and believed deeply in the power of small teams:
"He was focused on products, products, and products, and had a belief that small teams could do amazing work."
He points to Apple's most iconic products as proof of this philosophy:
"I look at the size of the iPod team initially. I look at the size of the iPhone team. These were very small teams."
Cook highlights the importance Jobs placed on surrounding yourself with exceptional people:
"Hiring the best people to surround you that challenge you, that have skills that you don't, and being confident with that."
But perhaps the most powerful lesson Cook took from Jobs was his ability to change his mind:
"Not to be married to my past views, not to be so proud you can't change your mind when you're presented with new evidence and things. He could change like this."
@tim_cook admits this initially caught him off guard, but it quickly became the quality he admired most:
"Very few people have that skill because they get married to their past views, and I thought it was a brilliant skill."
The lesson: simplicity, small teams, great people, and the intellectual humility to change your mind — these are the principles that built Apple into what it is today.
Zero of these funds have gone to the SeedSigner project, likely the most widely used permissionless cold storage tool. OpenSats does a lot of good and does not owe our project or our contributors anything, however most people I talk to assume we are receiving support from them.
