a bitcoin IOU is bitcoin, it just isn't yet your bitcoin.
even custodial services are bitcoin, it just isn't yet your bitcoin
the only way forward is to get people to consider that they should have the bitcoin and the only way to do that is to get them used to using others bitcoin
the pricing on maple api calls is ridiculous and i believe they are just reselling https://tinfoil.sh/
i know they go on all the bitcoin podcasts since they pivoted from their mutiny wallet but i've been unimpressed with them.
be very cautious. smells like a scam. if you were going to make a new product you wouldn't steal a name
yes their package and OS are very stable. if all you do is use electrum and core as a data server for a desktop wallet like sparrow where keys live offline on signing devices then there is no risk.
if you have two umbrels even better where one is just for openclaw. even cooler is if you have your second umbrel dedicated to open claw sit behind its own router with a vpn and only be accessible via tailscale.
setup guide:
take a small openwrt glinet router put mullvad on it. have vpn disable local network access. plug wan into your home network. plug lan into your umbrel. then install tailscale on umbrel. now the only way to get to your umbrel is via the tailscale ip that you authenticate to.
umbrel can't see home network and to troubleshoot your umbrel you ssh to it put claude on it and work around all the docker container idiosyncrasy.
talk to your umbrel either via a browser on tailscale or via messenger app. use syncthing to drop files and sensitive info to openclaw. when openclaw complains about not being able to see synthing folders due to docker restrictions, just ask claude (on umbrelOS linux install) to map the folder across containers.
imho openclaw is so useful it is dangerous. feels like buying your first handgun and beginning to learn all about weapon safety.
zaps are the only way to keep things authentic. bots will run out of sats so even if they are LLM generated posts, the ones with the most sats wins because it attracted the most value.
can't game the system when there is real skin in the game.
if you want to recurrently churn on a llm for a project then i probably doesn't matter where you run it. if you want to create a desktop and workflow assistant then it needs to run where your files live
i question the usefulness of this device for running openclaw as the beauty of openclaw is the ability to manipulate a desktop environment to automate traditionally difficult tasks. this might be good for automated api call workflows...
access to files on umbrel isn't the most intuitive
💯his future credit worthiness is based on his stack.
he is a "fiat miner" and that's the most profitable want to be a miner these days in comparison to a bitcoin miner which is the most unprofitable way
he is has built a refinancing engine that works as long as he can always refinance
at 1 mnav many etf holders can sell their etf, claim a loss deducte that loss from their earnings and rotate into mstr at an mnav of 1. now they have a bitcoin etf that has the potential to grow in bitcoin per share terms. buying both etf and mstr is inferior to self custody but if you are playing mstr because you still live in a fiat world then mnav of 1 is always the correct entry point
