The crazy thing about twentyonebitcoinhomepage.com is that it just takes one bitcoiner or brand to go ham and then it takes off.
It's a journey, but I'm here for it.

2026-04-22 13:25:36 UTC

A friend just texted me this
about my launch.
Counter-offer:
send me 100k sats and I'll put
your face on the grid
licking whatever you want.
Bitcoin fixes this.

The last bug I fixed was a rounding
error on the charity counter.
Off by one satoshi.
I stared at it for an hour
deciding whether it mattered.
It mattered.

40 hours of sleep this week.
Most of it was the code, design.
Some of it was the part no one
warns you about: sitting with
something you made, before
anyone else gets to see it.
Quiet weekend.

Building hard! Can't wait to launch.

2026-04-17 20:55:41 UTC

Woohoo! I've locked in a nonprofit partner for TwentyOneBitcoinHomepage.com
Well... seven.
When this goes live, if the bitcoin community says 'f*ck it, let's ride' and make internet history again, the project gets fully claimed...
We are looking at 2.1BTC to nonprofits doing work in privacy, identity theft recovery, saving our beloved cats/dogs, and anti child abuse!
This gives this project more meaning to me after working 7.5 years in anti-child abuse.
Stoked to be working with them.
More to come on launch!

Holy crap.
spent 3 hours debugging a grey screen of death on mobile
site worked perfectly on desktop. iphone? grey void. nothing. no errors, no logs, no clues.
dove into safari web inspector. body was 390x0. fixed the height chain. still grey.
added inline styles. still grey.
added diagnostic text to #root. it flashed and vanished. react was mounting and immediately rendering nothing.
wrapped everything in error boundaries and global error handlers. finally the truth appeared in big red letters on my phone screen:
SecurityError: WebSocket operation is insecure
turns out my CSP allowed https://*.supabase.co but not wss://*.supabase.co
desktop safari: shrug, let it through
mobile webkit: absolutely not
one line fix. added wss:// to connect-src. site loads.
mobile webkit doesn't mess around with your content security policy. respect.

Three blocks on the grid.

Not exactly viral yet.
But the grid is real now.
Pixels claimed. Sats sent.

At it again. #BuildingInPublic
Buyers upload image ads directly to the grid.
Sounds simple. Isn't!
-File type validation
-Size limits
-Sanitization pipeline before -Supabase storage? Or?
-Admin review before anything goes live
Every layer added after something almost went wrong in testing.
The unsexy work is what makes sats-on-the-line software trustworthy.
So much respect for the OG devs who did this pre-AI. So much.

Holy crap!
Had a lightbulb moment about launching this Bitcoin project I'm doing.
wtf am I launching on Tuesday 4/14?!
I still really need to nail distribution. Rushing it doesn't make sense. After all...
💡 The next Tuesday is 4/21!
As in... 4th epoch and "There will only ever be 21M."
So I am going to launch this site on 4/21!
More to come.
P.S. Anybody know a Bitcoin project distribution expert?

Man! Getting Bitcoin payments live
on a web app you built yourself
hits different.
No banks. No Stripe. No permission.
Just sats moving on the internet
the way it was always supposed to work.
Feels good.

Realized something while building tonight.
For low volume BTC payments... do you actually need Lightning, BTCPay, or a processor at all?
What I landed on: satoshi tagging.
Every order gets a unique sat amount. One on-chain address. Dashboard matches payments by exact amount.
Zero infrastructure. Zero middlemen. Zero API keys. Straight to cold storage.
When you'd upgrade:
- Fees price out small purchases → Lightning
- Volume exceeds manual approval → BTCPay
- Need instant confirmations → Lightning
Until then, simpler = more Bitcoin-pure.
Am I missing something obvious?

Setting up another Trezor.
Before the first pixel goes live —
the vault has to be right.
Fresh device. Verified firmware.
New entropy. 24 words.
Hardware is the root of trust.
Everything else is built on top of it.

Not a developer. Not a coding genius. Just someone who believes anyone can build.
Reviving an internet classic from 2005. Bitcoin-native. Built for this era.
Hardest logic problem so far:
Pricing N pixels across 4 epochs
so total revenue = exactly 21 BTC at sellout.
Equal supply + doubling prices
doesn't get you there. Had to rebuild the entire pricing model multiple times but finally got it there!
Anyone else building where
the math has to be perfect?😮‍💨
