Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, I appreciate it.

I had to do a bit of studying to fully grasp the nuance you pointed out.

I edited the sentence to make sure it's technically correct:

Losing one private key means losing access to the funds at that one address, assuming hardened derivation is used.

I tried to keep it brief without getting too deep into the technicals, as this article targets general users.

Thanks!

And I think I saw #3 is being sold right now, if you want to get one!

When I launch Seed Keys, I posted on SN here: #1251946 but feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Last week I bought this piece of art from @BitPopArt

I zapsnagged it from Nostr, which allowed me to be in the top 10 daily zappers for the first time ever: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw2ye9drnvtv3khh7l7q7c4c7q2nh62q7cwxjm7zvcjudaker7pcsq2nfuy 😎

And because I'm also a merchant, plugging my own store of metal seed phrase backups: https://seedkeys.xyz/ where I accept both on-chain and Lightning.

Yeah, same. I was broke when I discovered BTC. These free sats were much appreciated.

Man, this website allowed me to stack so much over the years. I'm glad I used it. And I could always withdraw, until last time... I knew what I was doing, so I haven't lost generational wealth.

Over 6 years, but I got lucky.

One of the original partners bailed, fed up with the toxicity (they were tearing each other apart, too). A new partner stepped in, took charge, and told the other two to back off. He stripped them of management roles, cut off their direct contact with my team, and made it so they could only go through him and me.

It was still a hassle, but the relief was immense.

[EDITED] This was before I bought Bitcoin. Back then, they had me by the balls.

I had three terrible bosses at the same time, all partners in the company.

One guy? I had to spend hours wording messages so he couldn’t twist them against me. He’d dodge every question and then sabotage my team behind our backs.

Another one would just straight up lie. Not little white lies—big, obvious lies. When I’d call him on it, he'd threaten to fire me.

And the third? Thought we were friends. Turns out, he was trashing me to other people while acting all cool to my face. Found out through a mutual friend. Also, zero passion for the company, just there to collect a check and look important.

Thanks, so it's working!

Yeah, that other post was me, too.

You're welcome!

Did you check my site? 😅

Yeah, notifications are hit or miss, even after setting up the relays in Amethyst. But it's the same on all Nostr clients I tried...

Thanks, I’ll look into aqstr and buzzbot. You're the second person to mention aqstr @RayBuni brought it up, too.

Sorry to hear the results haven’t been there yet. But I totally get it. It’s not easy when you’re starting out. No network, no reviews, no trust built.

I see you’ve leaned into centralized social with Satoshee. I’m trying to avoid that for now, even if it’s slower. Feels harder, but at least I don't have to deal with walled garden rules.

Also, I’m not shipping from the US or Western Europe, so costs are higher than most expect. Not sure how much that affects conversion, but we’ll see.

I almost mentioned “no middleman” in my post, but I wasn’t sure... Is the fee just zap costs, or is there a commission on top?

PS: I didn’t realize Turnstile was blocking my forms, as they don't offer any way to pass the challenge. I’ve removed it for now. Let’s see how bad the spam gets, then I’ll figure out a fix. I'll check my DM on Nostr.

Thanks, I use Amethyst on mobile. Primal/Iris on desktop - that's why I didn't see it.

TBH, I had only checked in Minibits, because my Nostr notifications are clunky on Amethyst, Iris, and Primal...

But I checked:

• Amethyst: I can see my message, and the domain IS clickable. Nice.
• Primal: I can't see the message, only the zap amount.
• Iris: I can't see the notification 🤣

I like your idea of targeting more with relevant keywords. I tried, but there weren't many notes. Maybe with a standard curated list, I could get more than 10 (the minimum), and fewer than 1,000 (the maximum). But I'm sure people would game that after a while, and post about my keywords to get free sats.

Working on a few things this week:

• Adding Seed Keys to BitcoinListings.org
• Posting a branded OP_RETURN message on the timechain
• Running a Zapadd campaign with a custom Lightning memo

All subtle, sovereign ways to exist on Bitcoin and Nostr.
