Appreciate the response. I fully agree that the privacy issue is a real problem. But what I still struggle with is the other side of the coin. If bitcoin is don’t trust, verify then doesn’t hiding...

Full disclosure I have no idea how it works, but to take a stab at what I think is happening is that it's using a behind the scenes multi sig that is held by the guardians, but I don't believe the guardians know the other key holder's identity so I believe it's actually pretty secure. I'm assuming Fedi itself is using the multisig behind the scenes to send funds outside the group. I'm getting the overall image of this being more of a checking account type wallet. Much more secure than a standard hot wallet, but not cold storage. Hopefully Jeff can jump in at some point and help break this down.

I think because it's so early we wrestle with feeling comfortable with coins outside of cold storage and being held on a higher layer. I imagine the majority of the population won't bat an eye at something like this because they won't know any different by the time they adopt it. But for early adopters understanding cold storage and multisig this feels terrifying right now.

It's very forward thinking- the idea is that in the future potentially blockchain transactions will be heavily tracked. A bad actor be it a criminal, government, or criminal government could piece together who people/entities are and go after them & their coin. Fedi is a shield against this. John McAfee warned about this suggesting that this was a huge flaw in Bitcoin, but Jeff is solving this on layer 3. As someone that is educating others on Bitcoin, I need full confidence in what I'm talking about and recommending. I have so many questions I'm not sure where to start, but this looks like something I want to onboard everyone I know to.

I’ll be doing a podcast with nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u in 2 weeks and we’ll make sure to cover this extensively. High level here is now that the OG guardians are unknown to each other and unknown to Fedi. That allows anyone to start a federation (and...

What I love about Apple- whenever they introduce new hardware or software they just use their products on stage like you would normally on any given day. By the end of their presentation you've seen every new nook, cranny and feature of what they're releasing. Fedi could really use something like this.

Jeff, I love you and your message. But until I see an easy to understand demonstration, even as someone on the bleeding edge of technology this feels out of reach.

I understand its importance and why it exists. Are you implying that I leave cold storage behind entirely? Partially? I can transact outside the federation semi-privately? Is this a savings account, checking account or wallet in regards to holdings amount/security?

💯 Never seen anything like it. I was trying to calculate UPS shipping for 4 books to the US today, it's a small parcel, about 3kg. I thought there was a bug and gave up but it makes sense now, the shipping cost was 500€ lol

Love this, thanks for sharing! Same, saw the parallels with Bitcoin, it just perfectly fits the values. I guess once you go down the freedom tech rabbit hole there is no going back lol It just takes s...

Haaaah, you’re already on Graphene, that’s awesome! 🙌 I might have some questions for you, I’ll see how Day 1 goes tomorrow.

You have a T480 already?! That’s perfect, you can totally flash it with Libreboot! You’ll just need:

8-pin test clip – https://a.co/d/cgVR6gA
Jumper ribbon cables – https://a.co/d/39Sjxwy
Raspberry Pi Pico – https://a.co/d/iTpClWL

There’s a guide on the Libreboot website: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t480.html but it can be a bit tricky to follow. I’m happy to share the notes my friend and I used when doing ours a few weeks ago if you’re interested.

As a word of caution, without a safe BIOS backup, you could brick the laptop. With one, even if something goes wrong, you can just write the backup back and recover it, so ultimately no sweat.

It might look more intimidating than it really is, I promise you, you got this.
