I tried making a 2 of 3 multisig wallet using child seeds generated on my coldcard. And... It works! That's three fewer seeds I need to store somewhere :) I can create and sign tnxs using a desktop and mobile wallet, with the coldcard serving as a backup signer.
Some time ago I played around with an Android bitcoin wallet which consisted of two apps. One could only sign tnxs and the other was a watch-only wallet. The idea was to run the apps on separate phones, where one phone would act as a hardware wallet. Does anyone happen to remember the name of this app?
When using the Coldcard to generate another wallet using BIP-85, what derivation path should I use when importing the wallet? I once tried using the funky-looking path shown on the CC, but the wallet app didn't accept it. If I use the app's default path then the addresses don't match the CC.

So this is what passes for "decentralized" finance.
'PolyNetwork has also asked "miners of affected blockchain and crypto exchanges to blacklist tokens" from the exploiter's addresses. In response, Tether said it froze $33 million in USDT connected to the attack...'
I don't see how this is different from the 2008 bailouts.

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.
Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.
Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

Thank you for the Canadian calculators, @Coinkite . I will promptly use them to... calculate things.

Capitulating To Customer Demand, Revolut Will Allow Bitcoin Withdrawals.
“The limitation of not being able to store your holdings anywhere apart from Revolut has long deterred traders, as it seemingly goes against the decentralized, open principles.”

Since I started maintaining a list of BTC nodes running as Tor onion services (collecting the data using my own node), I've noticed a steady increase in the number of v3 nodes :) Currently, the list consists of 545 nodes: 464 v2 nodes and 81 v3 nodes. Maybe v3 will break 100 soon.

Given the abundant theft that keeps happening within those so-called DeFi projects due to their ironic centralized control, I'm grateful for the thoughtfulness that went into the @Bisq DAO. It may not be apparent in the sensational media, but I believe that the Bitcoin ecosystem has the better toys.

@CryptoTweetie As a bitcoin-only user, I appreciate that @Coinkite anr @nvk want to keep their talents focused on a product that does one thing well — secure my bitcoin. I don’t want their research+dev efforts, budget, and talent spread thin supporting the shifting winds of shitcoin trading.
