I hope that’s the case, but believe it when I see it. 🤞 It begs the question why they didn’t reach out before pulling the funds?
I guess this would assure appropriate and urgent action. Perhaps if they did this through other means they couldn’t be assured the information would be acted upon timely or fall into safe hands. This way they stopped liquid activity immediately, and who is to say that would’ve happened if they received an email for example.

I would’ve considered this grey hat, but perhaps it would be white hat behavior. If they do indeed give it back.

But almonds are open source. 🫤

Phone numbers should disappear with fax machines and social security numbers. Can’t wait until more people take control of the technology and build their own webs of trusts without centralized databases.

Nice! Glad you got it back!

The social media side of the protocol/client space is still pretty flaky at times. I like testing different clients, but there’s definitely risk involved. Good news is that we’re at a point where we can all roll our own clients. That’s also the bad news. Lol

I still feel the decentralized pub/priv key architecture is the best part. That, and sending decentralized money!

I’ve been wanting a good Nostr auction client for some time. I guess there’s no excuses now.

I consistently ran into an issue a while back similar to this. I was primarily using primal at the time and would occasionally long in to zap.stream from a laptop to watch a livestream. If I would follow an npub it would completely flush my entire follow list from primal and when I logged back into primal I’d just have that npubs I’d follow from zap.stream. I’d end up using the primal restore option to pick a timestamp to restore to.

Summary - I think different clients are able to overwrite your follows from other clients. 🤷‍♂️ Didn’t make a lot of sense, but hope that helps.

My partner and I discuss this topic often. That we have disparate language within the fiat system. People feel as though they are talking about the same topic, but they aren’t.
I brought this book up to her some time ago, and it brought back memories of what we thought democracy meant in the 1980’s and 90’s. When you wanted to say something wasn’t fair we’d say it wasn’t very democratic. We didn’t bother to look up the word. We “knew” from the state sponsored education that it meant “fair”, “free”, “equal”, “liberty”, etc…. Nevermind that the rules were ever-changing, you didn’t really have a say, and that broken money gave certain people power in how the market and even the law worked.

Simply understanding that money doesn’t have to be controlled, and that you can safely store your time and energy into something that could be unconfiscatable (property rights) somehow changes how one fundamentally sees the world.
I don’t feel this book would’ve had as much of an impact on me if I hadn’t found bitcoin first.

I can see why it could look suspect if you haven’t seen the Entropia pieces before. They’re expensive but it beats cutting out tiny pieces of paper; unless you’ve got kids that’ll do it. That’s what I had my kids do when we setup theirs. Still, the plastic version is much more manageable if you don’t like dice. A person should still take the time and review the pieces though to make sure they match the list. Always a good idea!

Sad that investments were made for peoples’ 401Ks into these companies, and the government is complicit. Will they bail any out? If so, which ones?

Are you writing this because you know of someone scammed by this, or because the words are only 3 to 4 letters??

If it’s the latter than you should realize that the first 4 characters are the only thing that matter in the BIP39. And that this is how the Entropia set looks. Please clarify how you arrived at your conclusion.
