end-to-end privacy pools (v1) transactions with kohaku-cli and keycard shell (air gapped) by @0xterricola

Privacy is a collective defence.
In my interview with @dif_fractions, we talk @Logos_network's Basecamp, the browser as stage zero of deanonymisation, @Keycard_ , the vanishing endpoint and why metadata resistance has to be architectural.

little know fact: shieldsigner includes @keycard_ support
A few of our Keycard teammates are at Devcon 8 in Mumbai! 🇮🇳
Around? Come say hi 👋
Let’s meet, talk crypto, and plan something fun.
Drop a comment or DM us and let’s make it happen!

My Shrooms dev agent built "Shrooms Backup" last night
The idea is simple - I have a bunch of machines on the mesh. Now most of them run "shrooms-backup" daemon which consists of restic + Logos Storage + the daemon orchastrating things.
They are all auto-discovered on the mesh (the benfit of shrooms:) and I can configure the backups via Basecamp and mobile app.
Backups are secured by Keycard and pushed to selected machines via Logos Storage.
I would not need to use Logos Storage, I could just push files around, but this gives me clear path to pushing data outside of the mesh in the future.
Still testing it, but looks pretty good so far:)

what do you love about @Keycard_?
Keycard Pal is on F-Droid 💪
It's a OSS, community driven mobile app. It allows to use your @keycard_ with any QR software wallet ethereum & bitcoin
That's powerful for @keycard_ users
Keycard Pal, my air-gapped signing app for @Keycard_, is now on @fdroidorg
F-Droid rebuilds it from source and ships my signed APK only if the bytes match.

Tangem is not a hardware wallet (it doesn't bring more security than a mobile phone) and all cards are at risk see donjon.ledger.com/blog/bypas… - if you like the form factor check out @Keycard_ or @satochip

🔥 I ranked 21 Bitcoin signers.
5 years in the shadows: testing hardware wallets, watching Bitcoin Twitter, following every hack, every bug, every vendor drama.
This is where I landed, & some of you won't like it.
My criteria:
🔓 Open code you can verify
📵 Air-gap: QR or microSD over USB, Bluetooth or NFC
🧱 Security model: secure element, stateless or smartcard
📜 Track record, and how the vendor reacts when things break
🔁 Standard backups (BIP39, PSBT, descriptors): no lock-in
🟥 S TIER
Open code, minimal trust in a vendor, and for most of them you can build or flash it yourself. The less you have to trust, the higher it goes.
🟧 A TIER
Serious, Bitcoin-focused tools. You trust the vendor more than in S, and you get polish in return. Yes, Coldcard stays in A after July's entropy bug. The transparent fix and migration guide count too.
🟨 B TIER
Good tools, each with a trade-off: a server in the security model, a newer approach still proving itself, a phone in the loop, or multi-coin roots.
🟩 C TIER
Multi-coin first, Bitcoin second.
⬜ D TIER
Closed code, or recovery models where a company holds part of the keys to your castle.
Now the twist: no signer is the best in the absolute. The right one depends on YOUR threat model. A ranking expires. A method doesn't.
That's the whole idea behind chapter 23 of Bitcoin Hodler: Choosing Your Signer. 📖

Mis primeras impresiones de @Keycard_ 👇
Antes un resumen de porque la elegí:
• Es una mezcla de @Tangem y @KeystoneWallet
• Firmás con NFC o con QR
• Con QR ves en la pantalla del Shell lo que estás firmando
• La wallet de la tarjeta la podés borrar y generar otra, cada una te da su seed
• Todo open source
Existen más cosas, que no dejan de ser importante, pero no quería hacer un post muy largo, vayan a visitar su web 😉
Wallet con las cuales pueden usarla:
• Para redes EVM pueden usarla junto a @ambire, con QR en la extensión y NFC/QR en el celular, realmente el uso en muy fluido. Existen más opciones por ejemplo @Rabby_io, pero solo es con QR.
• Para BTC @SparrowWallet / @bluewalletio son opciones, pero existen más, en todas es solo con QR
Posibilidades:
• Una wallet diaria que pueden usar con Ambire por NFC
• Una wallet con fondos para hold para usar solo QR, viendo que se firma gracias al Shell
• Firmante de una @safe
Para mí es una muy buena opción, pero por supuesto nunca dejen de hacer ustedes su propia investigación, cualquier cosa preguntan 🫡

Your Nostr key, on a @Keycard_.
keycard-nostr-bunker is a NIP-46 bunker: clients connect over relays, the card signs and decrypts. The key never leaves it.

Running separate seeds doesn’t have to mean juggling wallet extensions
with Keycard Shell and @ambire , you can keep accounts from different seeds in one extension and switch between them as needed
each seed stays on its own Keycard
here’s how:
• insert your first card and enter its PIN
• select Connect Software Wallet → Ethereum
• scan the QR in Ambire, select an account and name it
• repeat with your next card
choose the account in Ambire, insert the corresponding card into Shell when you need to sign
separate seeds, without a separate workflow for each👇

#Keycard #Coldwallet #Cryptowallet @Keycard_
ambire + keycard are a great combo
Transparency beats trust. So we made Shell hardware easy to verify.
Here are videos and pictures to help you check the integrity of your Shell:

that's the beauty of open source development
Work that came from this prototype was merged upstream to @Keycard_ !!!🥳 github.com/keycard-tech/keyc…
