Here's how to create a simple 12 word bitcoin seed using Seedsigner and dice. Its filmed in real time with a timer running so you can see the entire process & how long it takes Do you really think this is too hard, or too much trouble for you to secure your family's future?
They don't want you to know you can do this. How hard is it really and how long does it take? I've seen a lot of aggressive fear porn raging against the idea that people can or will roll dice to generate a seed - I was curious how long it'd take to sit there and do the process from beginning to end... I turned up some music loud and went into an adjoining room with no electronics. The music both masks the dice roll and keyboard entry sounds, and is fun to listen to. Results: It takes about 4 minutes to roll a 12-word seed phrase and enter it into a Seedsigner. Skill level - kindergarten I was able to go through everything below in 75 minutes 🎲 roll three unique 12-word seed phrases ✅ load them into seedsigner, ✅ Verify the fingerprints ✅ Verify the words ✅ Write down the words ✅ Export xpubs into Sparrow ✅ Create a watch-only multisig wallet over airgap between Sparrow and Seedsigner ✅ Receive testnet coins from the @mempool faucet ✅ Create a batch transaction sending back the coins to the faucet as well as another 2 wallets in Sparrow ✅ Send he tx over airgap back to the Seedsigner for the first signature, ✅ Sending the partially signed PSBT back to Sparrow to display the next PSBT QR, ✅ Sending the fully signed PSBT back to Sparrow and finally ✅ Broadcasting And I did this all before Widespread Panic could even finish the first set of the concert! I basically started rolling dice at Stop-Go, and was done before the end of One By One. Note: transactions all sent on testnet4. (Both Sparrow and Seedsigner were also set to Testnet/4.)

If you have bitcoin on a wallet whose seeds were derived from a Coldcard device, your funds are at risk. Our members have been discussing this exploit over the weekend. Please contact us if you are worried about your funds. We will help you WITHOUT EVER asking for your seeds.

Tonight is the last time I will sleep in my own bed next to my loving wife. For the next 5 years I will be housed in a federal prison at taxpayer expense for a "crime" without a victim. Just one of many victims of lawfare perpetrated by a weaponized Biden DOJ where truth and justice were sidelined in favor of a political anti innovation agenda. Where evidence was hidden and suppressed because it didn't fit the story highly partisan line prosecutors needed to tell. Where Supreme Court precedence was ignored by activist judges. Tomorrow I will surrender to FPC Morgantown. I will no longer be Keonne Rodriguez inside that institution, instead I will be a number, 11404-511. But outside of those walls my name will be kept alive. My loving wife, my family, my friends, all of you who have supported #pardonsamourai will make sure of that. I know walking into that institution that the story doesn't end there. I maintain hope that President @realDonaldTrump is a fair man, a man of the people, who will see this prosecution for what it was: an anti innovation, anti american, attack on the rights and liberties of free people. I believe his team @AGPamBondi @EdMartinDOJ @DAGToddBlanche and others truly want to end the weaponization of the DOJ that the previous administration wielded so effectively. The framers of our Constitution gave the Executive the power to pardon for exactly this reason, to balance out and restore justice when no one else would. President Trump has proven he takes that power seriously. I believe he will continue to wield that power for good and pardon me and Bill. Keep up the noise. Thank you all for your support. See you on the other side.

🚨 CRYPTO SCAMS EXPLODE INSIDE CIRCLE K STORES - VICTIMS SAY LIFE SAVINGS VANISHED AT BITCOIN ATMS A CNN investigation just exposed what employees describe as an “open secret” inside Circle K locations nationwide. Customers are targeted by scammers and walked step-by-step to crypto ATMs inside the stores, often while being told on the phone not to hang up. You can hear the officer pleading with one potential victim: "He's scamming you out of your money. So we're trying to prevent that and stop you from doing it. He's gonna take your life savings from you. Don't let him do that." CNN and the ICIJ reviewed 150+ scam cases tied to crypto ATMs operating inside Circle K stores. The machines are owned by Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the U.S. Circle K is its largest corporate partner. Employees say management knew. The machines stayed. And the deal was renewed anyway. Once the cash goes in, it’s gone. How is this even allowed?

We exist to spread education on Bitcoin and other open-source software. Our goal is to help everyone understand the importance of freedom-preserving technology. Clearly, we are not doing enough.

Fight to protect our right to freedom tech. Corruption in our own back yard.
Today’s hearing for my husband, Conrad Rockenhaus, was a stunning victory for the truth. Overwhelmed by a courtroom of silent, righteous witnesses, Chief Judge Stephen J. Murphy III ADJOURNED the hearing and announced he will likely RECUSE HIMSELF from the case. The judge was visibly nervous and stuttered throughout the proceeding. He stated ON THE RECORD that our public information campaign has made it impossible for him to rule. His words were a direct confession: if he sentences Conrad, it will look like retaliation for my actions, but if he frees him, it will look like he was intimidated. He even conceded that he found some of our arguments "compelling." Conrad’s court-appointed lawyer, Sanford "Sandy" Plotkin, then committed a stunning act of public betrayal. He lied in open court, throwing me under the bus by claiming Conrad was unaware of my lawsuits and complaints—even though Conrad filed his own suit and directed me to file the others. The judge then explicitly told Plotkin on the record, "Don't ask her if she'll withdraw the complaints...because that would be unethical." Moments later, Plotkin came up to me and whispered that exact unethical request. Conrad remains unjustly incarcerated while we await a new judge. Our fight is not over, but today, we shattered their plan. Thank you to the reporters, the lawyers, the veterans, the representative from NORML, the former FBI agent, and the citizens of Detroit who answered the call and stood as a shield for a disabled veteran. You are the reason a federal judge fled his own bench. The full public record can be found at rockenhaus.com. #FreeConradRockenhaus #JusticeForConrad

Vietnam just froze 86m bank accounts because account holders didn't comply with new biometrics laws that require a face scan or fingerprint for account verification. If users don't comply by the 30th they'll lose their money. This is why we bitcoin. tftc.io/which-way-anon/

Join our community and educate yourself on why freedom tech is important. Surveillance bills are always titled in a way that would garner widespread support in name alone; however, they are a wolf in sheep's clothing. 🧵👇
Replying to @drpynz @H1BeesNuts
Michigan House Bill 4938, the "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act," proposes banning online distribution of pornographic and certain other materials (e.g., sexual content, depictions of gender nonconformity). It requires ISPs to filter access and block circumvention tools like VPNs, proxies, and encrypted tunneling. Penalties include felonies up to 25 years in prison and fines up to $125K. Introduced Sept 2025; not yet law. For full text: legislature.mi.gov.

This bill threatens to ban critical security, freedom, and privacy tools such as VPNs. This is not about enforcing a moral society or about protecting the children. It is about control, surveillance, and the elimination of an open internet.

We don't need government enforcement to dictate our morality. There are two ways we can protect ourselves and our children from harmful content: 1) Software tools like DNS filters, and 2) Self-discipline. Practice #2 always, and use #1 when #2 is failing.
