1. Today we are opening https://t.co/MlHzNfbpmf to the public.

You can sign up to earn Bitcoin by publishing ebooks and audiobooks on chain.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@TheAttilaAros @basednames Yes. I've used the lib dependencies in production for years and they sync all blocks/txs on all forks. bsv-spv may need prod testing but it should be a solid base. I suggest you run at least 2 nodes in parallel one for mempool txs and other for block downloading. Also PRs welcome

@TheAttilaAros @basednames re-org detection has been added. I also give an example on how to download new blocks and mempool txs. Any other suggested features?

@TheAttilaAros Thanks for pointing it out! I just added support for extmsg in this PR. Just needs to be tested.

Always wanted to write books but never could get started. Why?

Publishing. Selling. Designing book covers. I created a huge mental barrier for myself for a decade plus.

By accident, I just bought all of my friend @isaacmorehouse books on https://t.co/7HAeAqQB9V.

Revelation.

@apagut @shortclips1 @handcashapp @bitcoinkaiser @ElectrumSV This is why I brought it up. It's for the users with low time preference. I would really appreciate if HandCash re-added the feature to backup their own keys.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@handcashapp with the new “keyless” 2.5 update how do you back up your HandCash wallet (12 words) in case you or your multi-sig partners server goes down?

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@apagut @shortclips1 @handcashapp @bitcoinkaiser @ElectrumSV I honestly hope HandCash is around and thriving but can any company really guarantee operating 5, 10, 50+ years from now?

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@shortclips1 @handcashapp @bitcoinkaiser @ElectrumSV The difference is you can go to any service or company that has access to bitcoin to get that public information and it may take time and money to restore but it is possible if you have the seed.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@vegardwikeby @handcashapp @simplycashapp I am looking forward to the development of this new keyless wallet tech. Was just expressing my concern over the reduction of important features in this upgrade.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@handcashapp @bitcoinkaiser If a user can’t regenerate their own Bitcoin keys then it’s just a 2 party custodial wallet. Every transaction now needs both HandCash and Matterpool to half-sign in order to spend. If one of those services goes offline the wallets are stuck. The tradeoffs for convenience 🤷🏼‍♂️

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@bitcoinkaiser @handcashapp This way people won't lose or forget their passwords as long as HandCash is still working and *advanced* users can have the peace of mind that they won't lose access to their bitcoin long term.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@bitcoinkaiser @handcashapp The external wallet backup didn't need to go. You can technical do both. Just let it be an option for the people that do want to externally backup their wallet and it's a win-win.

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@handcashapp That’s really disappointing. Your multi-sig solution is just a custodial wallet split between 2 parties and the user cannot hold their own keys. HandCash was the wallet I would recommend new bitcoin users but I guess I’ll find an alternative 😕

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@handcashapp Being able to backup your wallet you would have a guarantee you could always access your Bitcoin even 10+ years later. Now every HandCash users wallet could be forever lost if HandCash or your multi-sig partner lose their keys or the servers go offline...

[KJ @kevinejohn]

@handcashapp So what you’re saying is from a users perspective HandCash 2.5 is now no different than a custodial wallet?
