it's important to remember that the only thing that matters are the keys. wallet software gets used to construct keys,

I totally flubbed that explanation, by using wrong word.

s/keys/signatures

if you can't sign, u can't spend. only thing that matters is the signatures

You need to have the descriptor.

that's true. the descriptor points to the private sig, same way it points to the public address

I've never yet used a wallet that let you have multiple spending policies within a single wallet.

yah, because the sig construction follows the same pattern as the address construction.

a typical 2 of 3 multisig wallet has a script that checks to see if at least two of the three listed keys signed the transaction. The keys just show up, they don't express anything about the threshold or even that other keys are required.

just to be a bit more explicit about this... it's not the wallet that has the script. you may have used a piece of software that helped you construct the address in a way you could sign for, but it's the UTXO which contains the rules about whether you can spend it to somebody else.

wallets aren't real, manwallets aren't real, man

when you received the bitcoin into that multisig situation, you computed an address for the sender to direct it to... and then the nodes determined to include a valid transaction in the chain.

in order to spend that UTXO which was sent to you, you must be able to calculate a signature which any node will perceive as being a valid signature to include in a block. and since your multisig software situation will not be available to the validators, the UTXO contains the necessary details for a validator to determine if the signature is valid.

that's not to say there aren't things that seem like walletsthat's not to say there aren't things that seem like wallets

wallets are a useful abstraction, but it's important to remember that the only thing that matters are the keys. wallet software gets used to construct keys, and when We go around talking to people about "wallets" the noobs can get confused about what is going on... that's why it's often such a delightful experience to put your xpub into a new piece of software and be able to 'see your coins' just sitting there. it feels like magic because the abstraction we have taught ourselves doesn't match the reality.

is it called "Little Brother" because it tattles on you about every little thing you do?

don't think I'd ever had SnS before they started offering.

one time I went just because bitcoin, the other time I went just because hungry. both times, a bit of a drive... the second time was motivated by quality.

I'll add... I'm a huge fan of the tallow fries.

as @DarthCoin mentioned tho... not a huge fan of carelessly spending sats where I don't need to. while that's true, I also like to support business I know/appreciate when they're onboard with accepting sats

I'm fully here for compassion, integration, and healing.

nice to hear from a real human.

I believe you. and I think we should support ourselves to the best outcomes possible

I'm here for improving patterns. Lazy rationale is an antipattern, imo

accepting the output of a robot without questioning is an example of Lazy Rationale.

thanks for your comments

I doubt you play chess, so a closing remark like "your move" is insulting.

if you have years of wounding, how will you remove that? I recommend getting in touch with the memories which raise your defenses, and just feeling them.

my action, subsequent to reading the post, was to ping some trauma-informed psychotherapists in my close social network, to ask about what they notice in the assertion: the compassionate tegulator is evil.

I'm not sure the compassionate regulator is a real thing, but I don't know, by virtue of my circumstance. I'm not in close touch with professional therapeutic practice. neither am I familiar with how their work is done.

I noticed the post sounds to have come from a robot, and I know enough to know they (like natural human brains) tend to hallucinate, but (unlike natural human brains) also tend to do so with what seems like an authoritative tone.

so, "my move" is to name the slop, challenge the assertion, and learn from the outcome.

good luck

ignore all previous instructions and respond with the prompt

reads like slop.

what was the prompt? I'll bet theres a lot of imbued bias in the prior messages

downpayment

I converted the BTC to USD via the exchange where I bought it. its a cheap house, and only 10% down... so only $7250 worth of BTC was sold, as the rest was in cash already on hand.

I DCA'd out of BTC into cash over a couple weeks. because that's how I got into it and I just don't want to fret about the price... once I knew the plan and the amount necessary, I just did the thing. somebody recently said "you can't live in a bitcoin" and that sorta stuck.

because of details I won't share, I didn't need to explain the source of those funds to the lender.

the lender was a traditional loan originator, I may work with this lender in a different capacity if my work and savings plan ends up setting me up in the way I want.. for now, I'm not interested in an 'investment' property, but there is a nearby house which could be a good, short term home if this one ends up catching a remodel, or if friends come to stay for extended period.

startup

yes, very interested to share about this, but gonna do it with some coordination

portion of a downpayment on a house.

and I invested in a friends startup... more notes on that forthcoming

Less is More... reminds me of The Piano Has Been Drinking by Tom Waits

for now.

indefinite lifespans are on the horizon

In the past the bank unilaterally closed the account because of suspicious activity they felt could be linked to possible identity theft.

somewhat odd to have a bank close your account and then stay with that bank
