I get that is great UX.
But if we really get paranoid the only silver bullet is to generate the seed out of the device 11 or 23 words and then the device will only generate the last word.
If the device is collecting entropy from the user, a software bug could always drop that entropy. So if you really do not want to trust the device at all, generating the seed outside of the device and letting the device generate the last word is the way.
Of couse it depends how paranoid once want to get.
And I am thinking about how that silver bullet approach could be done in a UX that will make it nice and.

If we were going to make seed generation with coin/dice/cards or other the default.
I have two doubts:
1. It is annoying thing to do, so, what would be the best UX?
2. It is moving more responsability to the user, so, how could the user still fuck things up?

That is definitely the most paranoid approach, the device guides the user to generate the words manually, then user input the 11 words in the device and device calculates the 12 word.
The combining approach I was more thinking about the non expert user that might use for example a non professional dice and might end-up with a low entropy. But it can probably be explained.
Coin flips probably provides a better randomness, and you can use multiple different coins that will best. Besides everybody has coins.

Humans tend to be very bad at generating randomness, so selectind 11 words randomly yourself is usually not a good idea.
Using a perfect dice or a coin sounds better.
But I like the idea of a seed generator device. A device that guides the user how to get randomness from different places and then combining it.
Shall we build it?

You can also test all the tools that the server exposes at https://contextvm.org/s/7807ffe23010b8961a1e1aecb1cbf82b58e7cf99401cbb7874b73e21b1b12629

I’ve been thinking about how much @@npub1dvm…3jdm could bring to empowering Bitcoin users, and there were a few concepts I wanted to test.
First: https://contextbtc.org/wallet — a Bitcoin wallet that runs with a bitcoind RPC connection over MCP via Nostr and ContextVM. Right now it is only a Regtest proof of concept, and it’s still quite slow, but there’s a lot that can be improved.
The core idea is simple: the user runs bitcoind on a computer at home and doesn’t need to expose anything to the outside world. Then they run ContextBTC alongside it, and—using a Nostr key—they can operate their Bitcoin wallet on their phone using that bitcoind as backend, preserving privacy, self-sovereignty, and control.
More things to come....

The key is not whether they are willing, since they might be forced to do so, the key is that they can do it. It’s just bad design.

What is the best nostr client that has a local-first approach?
If I want to have a local relay that will store all my events and use remote relays just for relaying. Something I can backup.
Maybe storing also events that I like or zap...

There are different ways to solve this.
In my opinion, the first is that the device firmware must be open source so everyone can verify it and reproduce builds, ensuring users get the correct firmware. Without this, any of the other solutions are probably worthless.
In addition, Trezor firmware generates signing nonces deterministically using RFC 6979, which is one of the mitigations.

There is this old saying that a good programmer has to be lazy in order to be good at writting good code that is easy to maintain and does not require a lot of future effort and automates things that are time consumming for the future you.
Well, AI is not that, it is not lazy at all, and the incentives are the opposite, it want you to use more tokens.

It is cool how Nix protects you when for example running a flake in a git repository, if your flake.nix is not stagged it just does not use it. Stage it and use it.
It is difficult to find out why it happens first time, but when you know it, well then you know it. :)
Is there any other software development tool that work like that?

I have the feeling that those tools have made the programmers feel less lonely. Now you have a tool that gives you ideas and different approaches but the final decision has to be yours.
It is basically pair programming with a robot.

Nostr es más poderoso de lo que pensaba.
Las tecnologias abiertas en general tienen ese poder que derivan en el famoso tsunami de innovación.
Despues de la #WOB25 y de conversaciones con @nprofile…l7c4 @nprofile…60ct @nprofile…wqxt me he dado cuenta de que, aunque todavía seamos 4 gatos aquí, esto es imparable.
Esta mañana pensaba: estaría bien usar Nostr un poco más, pero no quiero tenerlo en mi móvil; prefiero solo usarlo desde el ordenador.
Si hubiese un cliente que fuese solo para publicar algo que quiero compartir en el momento y así no distraerme con el móvil cuando estoy haciendo algo que probablemente es más importante.
Me he dado cuenta de que, si no existe, lo podría crear yo. Eso es muy poderoso y solo se puede hacer con tecnologías abiertas como Nostr.
Aunque estoy seguro de que ya existe, pues es una locura la cantidad de desarrollo que hay en este ecositema.
