This is the dumbest decision ever if they actually wanted open source software.

I have an iPhone and a CalyxOS pixel 6. iPhone is still my main.
I use all the privacy and custom stuff, but i almost invariably use it alongside "normie" alternatives that I think produce good products. I use my Zorin linux and my Macbook in comparable amounts. I think of the custom/self-host setups as insurance and "extra capable" tools to help me avoid the pitfalls and restrictions of "normie" products. But I use them exactly to the degree that they help me concretely. I don't much care for "signaling" one way or the other like its an ideological choice. It's a practical and security one.
For the same reason, I intend to have a self-driving car in the not-too-distant future possibly. But I'll own one alongside a striped down, modified gas clunker that has no stock computer anything but instead has only what device i decide would make it better under my control and my software (granted my self driving car may very well be the same one based on the next few years with Comma.ai and competitors in that field. So it may not be the perfect example). One is for convenience, the other is for control.
Sometimes the convenient and "my control" option lands totally in the "normal product" space or the "full self hosted" space. On those occasions I don't get a backup. But generally speaking my stack is almost *always* a combination. And on that note I did test graphene, but have no immediate reason to switch from CalyxOS with my main android because I'm just using it for app testing and the apps I'm building myself. Then its also my business phone.
So the next time you are wondering which direction I chose. The answer is most likely "both."

Yeah the speed at which software can just be "regenerated" by a model and customized. I just think software is fundamentally changing from its previous nature. The overwhelming majority will be hard to charge money for, it will move to commoditized services and provision of resources, software will only be the portal to it and we will have as many selections as we need. Everything will shift to protocols and schema standards and APIs, etc. Although the secret will be in hiding all of it from the average user.
Maybe "open source" isn't really the thing, but the fact that it will be free and extremely customizable. But if that continues to trend in that direction then not being open source doesn't change much either way so it almost seems like "why not?" But I obviously could be wrong, just feels like there is a massive shift in the economics of software underway and I may be projecting what I *hope* it means rather than seeing the reality of where the market will find the gap.

It's kinda wild...
In the course of just one year, I went from thinking that *maybe* open source was about to get its chance to be a major part of consumer software, to basically being convinced that virtually all software will be open source and there's nothing anyone can to do about it.
A lot can happen in a year.

I bring this up because I've had 2 really sh*t days in the last week😆
This morning was one of them 😅

2026-09-28 15:43:41 UTC

Whenever I'm having a real sh*t day, the two things that help me get my head right:
• Setting out to get one small win that has nothing to do with what i was planning to work on (change the stupid toilet paper holder that keeps getting loose and hanging down, hang the curtain rods i've been putting off for weeks, etc).
• Clean the room. Get rid of the boxes i needed to deal with forever. Take that box of random screws and bits and little tools that i didn't have a good place for and actually go through and organize them properly, throw away what doesn't fit into my system.
Inevitably ill get some sense of progress and I'll feel a little bit more capable of dealing with the forever failing or forever "next week" projects that span years and weigh on everything else i try to do. What's your process?

There's no reason nor benefit for having an entire altcoin network running its own internal/circular security incentive structure just to have a list of keys or names for something. This could just as easily be done on bitcoin if all you needed was a hash of the canonical truth published somewhere reliable. But even then I still don't think that makes much sense.
Having an entirely separate blockchain for this, however, is like trying to use an excavator to carve a tiny wooden figurine. It's just not the tool for the job no matter how many individual pieces of it seem like they are relevant or similar. You don't need (or want) global consensus on all accounts and all keys and all networks. You want individual control and reliable syncing of state among those that care.

I'm not looking for a solution *for me.* I'm looking for a general solution to make the UX feel like the "sign in with apple" option and retain the general security and isolation of your core account keys.
My own remote signer works fine, I'm just never going to get my mom to do that.

2026-09-25 17:53:03 UTC

And on the note of key delegation:
Hyperbee seems the perfect fit and that’s what I’ve been exploring as the append only state for “signed in devices” if you will.

2026-09-25 17:49:16 UTC

- reply

I’m not talking about key rotation.
When I say delegation I mean “signing to approve other keys” so that client keys are ephemeral and specific to the client. In other words, my Nostr key only posts a list of attestation that say “these 10 keys are all me” same as I log into websites and say “these sessions are all mine” using cookies and account credentials.
I’m not saying that’s foolproof or not without trade offs. As I said, I’m happy to hear about alternatives and don’t know why you jumped to “why are you ignoring Frost” like I’m aware there is some perfect solution and pretending it doesn’t exist on purpose.
Specifically regarding frost, I’ve only loosely investigated it and how it could work with this UX issue. I thought of it as a different purpose tool but I think Max mentioned the same thing to me at one point but I haven’t had the time to get deep into it

“Klippsteined his own name?” I’m not sure what the reference is. I’ve had my issues with the Swan service in the past (although minor) and that’s why I don’t advertise them anymore. But I also don’t have any problem with Cory.
I always have guests that someone somewhere has a problem with. As much as it would be nice if there was an easy way to figure out how to micro-please every last person’s preference at any particular time, trying to do so is a fool’s errand. I simply talk to people I like to talk to or want to hear thoughts from. I enjoyed chatting with Cory.
Glad you care enough to comment though and hope you still generally enjoy the show 🙏🏻

2026-09-25 17:21:08 UTC

- reply

nice! That's a pretty clever UX solution. The reason i think that's not the long term fix is because it still means that every single app or client i test or even play with has the master key to destroy my entire network. If workstr is malicious, doesn't matter how safe the transfer is, I'm done.
Love the approach, but the master key transfer problem still has another painful layer that I think needs a more robust, long term solution.

2026-09-25 16:59:13 UTC

Testing a quick video i put together on the app I built for my own production workflow. I couldn't find any video editing and recording app that works like i think.... so I'm building it.
It will soon run with pearcore (peardrive engine) in the background on all platforms if anyone is interested. My plan is to have it so i can record a segment on my desktop, get up and walk outside and record a segment with my phone, edit it, then return to my desktop to record and finished it up. And recording and editing happen in the same interface, quickly jumping around and pausing to cut a bad take and continuing forward. Kinks to work out and pearcore needs some changes before it works on iOS, but i'm getting closer and closer to all of these apps I'm building working together seamlessly.
I hate how long its taking but its going to be dope when things finally start coming together.

I say this because I just went to desktop to post a video and realized I wasn’t signed in and then decided it wasn’t worth it and went on to other work.
I don’t have my nsec just lying around because I value the account and network… but because of that using this on all of my devices is both a pain and also unsafe to break out my private keys and copy paste them in a bunch of apps and web browsers.

Really? I didn’t have to do anything. It just worked for me. What were you having trouble with?

2026-09-25 16:45:29 UTC

Not being able to quickly and safely sign into another client or device is such a friction with Nostr. I really think it’s the most important problem to solve in the short and medium term. And I do *not* think remote signing with another device or running nsecbunker or having your phone find some trick to stay alive in the background to be a signer is the solution. They are clever and useful for some, but ultimately only a tiny, tiny minority will deal with those things.
I’ve thought for years we just need a key signing delegation. It’s the equivalent of session cookies online. The problem simply requires a robust and decentralized way to sync and share active “session keys” that can be safely and quickly revoked when needed.
I’m also not saying that’s an easy problem either. I’m simply saying I don’t see anyway we get the “web experience” but also the security of signed messages and not needing to trust the host or relay without it. I’d love to hear other ideas for it though. I’m working on what I described above right now though.

We’re almost around to the point where my team and I have built our own generalized solution to this.
I’m currently sharing about 100k files between my MacBook and Linux machine and it took a QR code to connect them. The tool is agnostic to what is being shared and you can make your own custom protocol inside the “space” using the same messaging system for whatever you want to build. A bitcoin wallet shared among devices is a perfect application will we look at exploring (we don’t want to build the wallet, but we will happily apply it to someone else’s 😆)
We will see in the coming months where that goes because peardrive will need a bitcoin wallet pretty soon. So much to unlock when you put all the tools together. The future is gonna be lit

Tell him to swap out the concord. His funds should be safe in the meantime but there’s zero reason to leave it there. If you lost a key you would never leave it so there was no third option.

If you are using a Mk3 through the Q and didn't use a lot of dice rolls in generating your keys, consider it compromised and move to any quick location you can find. If you have another wallet without a coldcard, send it there, if you have a trusted exchange send it there temporarily, if you can create a quick software wallet send it there. Make sure all the normal process and backups are done carefully during this and then prepare for a better multisig setup for your replacement.
My tools i used with a couple of people and for myself when i couldn't remember which software i set up one of my CC keys with:
- connect CC to sparrow, import and it will find any and all related keys and balances. You can send from there to any new keys or non CC keys you have
- generate a new key or hell if you are limited just send it to a good exchange like river to get it out of harms way as quick as you can. You can get a better setup after you get it out of immediate danger

Imagine thinking that one achieves independence from a totalitarian ruler without paying some price for it?
No volatility, no risk, no days of losses, no period of stagnancy, no regulatory risk, no institutions fighting back. Just skipping through meadows and green candles and then throwing in the towel the moment the wind blows.
Bitcoin isn't about getting rich, if that's why you're here then you've lost the plot. Bitcoin is about not being beholden to the waste and corruption of a class of people who live off of monetary fraud. Bitcoin is about PROVING that they cannot dilute us for their wars, they cannot counterfeit for their subsidies, they cannot indebt us and our children and their children to get the lie of "free stuff" today.
Bitcoin is about independence and the risk and costs that come with it. We may get wealthy IF we achieve independence. But we will never get it asking for permission or waiting for green candles before even taking a stance.
Imagine if the American founders had said "we pledge our lives as long as we are comfortable, our fortunes as long as they only go up, and our sacred honor as long as we only benefit from this quest. Otherwise we apologize and ask the King's approval."
Some people may not understand that this is THE battle, and maybe they have no idea how or where they are paying for the corruption of their own society. But they are paying for it nonetheless. Bitcoin is the solution and it's not because its going to go up every day you hold it. Quite literally the opposite in fact. When we take away the power to dilute the money, we force them to come straight to our door with their guns and demand what we have earned directly.
Bitcoin's mission is to destroy the illusion that they are giving us something for free, and prove that the state is a system of violence and the central bank is a system of covert theft at an unheard of scale.
That is the purpose of this tool. It is *independence* through technological rebellion. Not wealth. It is *risking our wealth* for a chance at ending the era of central banking and infinite debts and a world where kids grow up with the poisonous and absurd notion that even as technology becomes more advanced and our capacity to produce grows exponentially, somehow everything still gets "naturally" more expensive and wealth becomes more concentrated.
Nothing could be further from the obvious truth. It is govt debt, the central bank money printer, and the counterfeit class that huddles around them like leeches that suffocate society of what would otherwise be stable and consistent growth in our general prosperity, time, and meaning.
If you are here only because of 50% returns and leave when it falls 25%... we are not the same.

To compare that to the nature of fiat and the myriad ways we are getting F’d is like comparing someone who keeps you in a cage and whips you every time you don’t do exactly what they say, with someone who throws eggs on your house when they get frustrated and inconveniences you for an hour or so.
Centralization in mining pools is a class of a problem that lives in a totally separate universe from the problems of fiat.

That is the full episode, lol. We're doing shorter form so it fits the video platforms better.
Here's the new channel though if that's what you mean:

It's probably not what you think.

There's going to be a flood in the next couple of years. Local Ai will be absolutely wild in less than 5.

Could not be less relevant to anything said here.
Nothing i said made any claim at all about whether you should run a pruned versus a full node.
The data above is exactly the same no matter what you choose. So if you feel that strongly about pruned nodes, don't run one. Nobody anywhere in any way said you should run one or the other so i don't know what you're wigging out about.

Pruning occurs after validation. It's purely a storage choice and has nothing to do with whether you download the entire chain or not. The IBD operates exactly the same with the pruned node simply dropping block data earlier than a certain threshold after validation and keeping the UTXO set.
In other words, it's literally no different.

Holy shit! Kimi K3 just dropped and it outperforms Fable 5 at coding takes.
State of the art Ai models just went fully open and the full weights will be available in just a week or so

Of course, Bitcoin is a great example of doing everything needed being built as simple and naively as possible to make it work in its most important capacity (i suggest "Bitcoin is worse is better" by gwern if you've never read it).

If only you could get the *sound* of things like this moving around to match the majesty and surreal nature of their visual effect.
The periodic RAAAAAAAA, REEEAAAAA sound really kills it, lol.

I think most are through PPQ using either FLUX or Nano Banana. But my producer has been putting them together and we’ve shifted things a ton over the past few weeks so it might not be the same anymore. I’ll ask

Ah damn. Would’ve been fun to catch this while it was happening. Coulda zapped a big one live, lol. It’s always fun to get first impressions from people seeing zaps for the first time.
I apparently need to check Nostr more frequently 😂

That seems like a lot of work to demonstrate the obvious. 😆 I mean just off the top of my head I can see dozens of different motion and muscles that are activated, you have to actually picture the shape and flow of the letter and the word, predict the spacing of the words, etc - there’s numerous things that typing is explicitly supposed to be a shortcut for, thus those things wouldn’t be activated.
I guess I’m not trying to hate, but it seems a little “duh” to me, lol. And when it comes to remembering what you wrote vs typed, it also makes sense that you would retain it a little better when written specifically because tying it to a more intricate and explicit motion actually sets things into the mind more concretely. If every letter and word is different, there’s a lot of pathways being fired. When typing everything is just the same tap motion.

The audio and video version will be published in the same Bitcoin Audible feed. It will just start having a lot more Guy's Takes episodes and on Fountain and other video enabled clients you'll be able to watch the video from the same feed. No change needed if you already follow, only the youtube is under a new channel name.
