Take a look at “Posts” for various blog posts, “Guides” for guides on self-hosting, privacy, Bitcoin, and Monero, and “Opt Out Podcast” for content related to my podcast, Opt Out. To contact me, use one of the methods below or an alternative . An extensive post detailing a recommendation of the order of steps I would take if starting from scratch in my privacy journey today. What if our devices focused on empowering us instead of ensnaring us? What if limiting the capabilities of our electronics in specific and intentional ways could actually free us up to be more human? It’s questions like these that lie at the heart of Daylight’s entry into the space, kicking things off with their DC1 tablet. Let’s dive in together and inspect the DC1 from all sides to see if it lives up to the grand ideas of the Daylight team, how it’s shifted my expectations from my devices, and what it could mean for the future of computing.... BIP 353: Making payments social, one DNS entry at a time. It happens with every proposal made for improving Bitcoin. First, the technical developers and researchers weigh in with strong and legitimate concerns, they hash out the details, and the proposal slowly improves over time. But at some point some of these concerns make their way onto social media and quickly become parroted FUD for those who don’t like the concept of a proposal. That same effect has happened with covenants on Bitcoin, so I’ve taken the time to collect, rebut, and give resources for each of the most common FUD points against CTV-based covenants I’ve seen in the space.... Note: This was originally posted on X and has been re-posted/reformatted for posterity here. I’ve seen the view that “Taproot caused/enabled arbitrary data storage on Bitcoin” commonly mentioned across Twitter, and it’s one that can be extremely harmful. Many in the space would love to further ossify (prevent change) in Bitcoin and use inscriptions/tokens “spam” as the reason for doing so, but I’d argue that would be the worst possible outcome from this situation.... In this guide I will lay out the detailed steps for how you can get started running your own Bitcoin mining pool. I’m not a Bitcoin maximalist. I’m not a Monero maximalist. I’m a freedom maximalist. How I got here I’ve talked about it at length on multiple podcasts, but I came into Bitcoin late in 2017 with purely financial motivations. I saw a way to make some extra $$ on Bitcoin, and rapidly fell down the trap of buying into many different cryptocurrencies purely for profit. When that phase blew up in the bear market of 2018, I thankfully stumbled across the Monero project and community purely by accident through a desire to mine Monero.... In this blog post form of a presentation, we dive into what circular and parallel economies are, why they’re important, and what tools are being paired with Monero to enable them. Ragnar Lifthrasir asked for a list of Bitcoin proposals and ideas to improve privacy that either are still a work in progress, were abandoned or never implemented, or failed to make an impact, and so here is my attempt at just that. This will by no means be an exhaustive list, and I could use any help I can get keeping it up to date or finding historical proposals that have fallen out of favor.... I’ve spun up a BTCPay Server instance for my own use and built a guide out of the process, so hopefully this will aid others wanting to accept Monero at their stores, for donations, or any other use-case get up and rolling with BTCPay Server!
