I told my daughter that her bitcoin wallet wasn’t quantum safe and that I could help her. She gave me her seed phrase and I immediately transferred out the $300 in bitcoin she’d been saving up with her $10 DCA’s.
She’s still mad about it but I think the cost was cheap for the value of the lesson she learned.

FYI your phone saves notifications for up to a month. This includes the message text if you have previews turned on.
This was utilized recently by the FBI to extract deleted messages from Signal.
To disable:
In signal go to settings and notifications. Show -> No Name or Content
In phone settings, go to app, then notifications. Show Previews -> Never

People think blocked domains prove privacy. They don't. Cleaner logs can hide a DNS stack that's split across browser overrides, VPN rewrites, and device settings.

Welcome to nostr! 🤙
Sounds like you have things well in hand. My personal opinion is that everyone has two privacy levels to keep their eyes on.
One is set by your personal threat model. It’s different for everyone and it’s your bare minimum. Go below that and you’re running at risk.
The other is going to be your own personal comfort level. Typically higher than your threat minimum but not always. Some people go to extremes and that’s ok as long as you’re aware of it and that’s what makes you comfortable.
So that was a long rambling way to say figure out what your bare minimum is and as long as you stay above that you are fine. Otherwise, go as far as you want!

I’m a fan of Cashu. It’s good at breaking transaction links and has offline support.
It is custodial but it’s about tradeoffs. Bitcoin on chain is a trustless model but slow and not very private. As you move into layer 2s like ark, spark, liquid, and lightning. You gain speed and better privacy but some level of trust is required.
It would be nice to see a Cashu wallet with instant withdrawal to a lightning wallet of some kind.

Inside it, you get:
- DNS Deployment Checklist
Start clean. Stay legible. Avoid self inflicted breakage.
- Breakage Triage Worksheet
Map the failure before you touch the fix.
- 30 Minute Safe Start Plan
Get protected fast without turning DNS into a side project.

Your phone number is not just for calls and texts.
It becomes login recovery, contact discovery, account matching, and the quiet thread connecting services that should stay separate.
That's the real problem.
A lot of people harden the phone, tweak settings, and install privacy apps, while leaving the number as the one clean link tying everything together.
So the phone looks quieter.
But the identity layer is still loud.
That is why I created the Phone Number Containment Guide.
This is a practical guide for reducing how much power your phone number has over your digital life without wrecking daily use.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
* separate an operational number from a recovery number
* reduce number based account linkage
* audit which apps and services have your number
* clean up cross contamination between identities
* build a setup you can actually maintain
You also get:
* Quick Start Containment Plan
* One Page Containment Checklist
* App Exposure Audit Worksheet
* Recovery Separation Planner
* Mini Course with infographics
This is not a purity test or a burner phone fantasy.
It is a practical system for people who still need a phone, still need accounts, and still want tighter control over how their number gets used.
A phone number should be a tool.
Not your identity spine.
