So excited to arrive at the finish line with this: . Custom hat materially improves @SeedSigner user experience without changing security assurances . $10 from each HAT split between our lead developer and lead maintainer . HAT & enclosure designs will be open sourced . No external investment or venture funds involved The Waveshare display hat will also be perpetually supported for any users / builders who prefer it. There were multiple shortcuts or alternative approaches that could have made this process quicker, easier, or more profitable but it was important to me to do this in what I felt was the right way. https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/ image
Several people have reached out about this. There are apparently at least 10 URLs that were purchased on 5 separate days over a period of 3.5 years, all appear to have the same owner. Some of them seem intended to interfere with our ability to fundraise or accept donations? I honestly could see this sort of thing as a one-off or as a mean joke if you're having a bad day, but the pattern here comes across as something different. Given how many podcasts and conferences his sponsorships touch it feels like behaving this way towards a FOSS project should be a bigger deal? If Nostr is indeed legit with regard to wanting open source to flourish, it seems like this would be of interest here especially. image
This is a big part of why I don’t engage much on Nostr, and some of the “cult leaders” are my most prominent personal critics, so it just doesn’t make sense to be around. View quoted note →

The orange pill is back baby.
I was trying to come up with a joke about how all of our users should take advantage of their “reproductive rights”, and I got nothing. Just build our release image w/ the instructions below and share the hashes if you’re able. 🧡 View quoted note →
This 8-bit Nintendo SeedSigner enclosure continues to be one of the most sought-after early designs... Wonder if we could get @BlackCoffee to do another limited production run…
