No addresses, no balance. But exact amounts and timestamps are enough to find a transaction, and my spending wallet was also my staging wallet. The screenshot showed the front door to my savings.<br/><br/>The vault was fine. The hallway needed a second door.<br/><br/>Self-custody is not a setup.

His answer: radius of trust. Every system has a boundary past which cooperation quietly stops. That used to be villages. Now it’s messaging apps.<br/><br/>I went looking for something Nostr-native to actually use for group texts. Tried 0xchat — right protocol, dead TestFlight link. Looked at Keet — true P2P, but still someone else’s infrastructure. Landed for now on Buzz, Dorsey’s Block-backed client, mostly because it’s the first thing I’ve found where the architecture and the resources to maintain it actually match.<br/><br/>Then mid-draft, Apple pulled Telegram over CSAM — caught it, acted in a day. Which complicates things: the same central authority that can silence a platform with no vote also just protected someone. A protocol with nobody in the middle has nobody positioned to do that either.<br/><br/>I don’t think the gap closes. I think you just choose which one you’re willing to live with.<br/><br/><a href="https://paulweaver34.substack.com/p/a-radius-of-trust-in-messaging-apps">https://paulweaver34.substack.com/p/a-radius-of-trust-in-messaging-apps</a> 2026-08-21T11:23:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxqjt070n75uyawwjkcdev5rdpc8trefl50qe8tw6deht56r40mpczyzmcttfsw98lz585cltdp46yy0jsj3l43szvdk8vgjthmh7ww0q0cd4kqyn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsds22l6wjgc89c36qjj6592csz26plc6nce70rsejum64csk4mknqmgq0dd'>nevent1q…q0dd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Appreciate that, but I’d push back a little. A bent shot off a cable is unpredictable, sure, that’s just physics. What I’m pointing at is different: the same sensor caught a hair and missed a cable. That’s not randomness.
