Lost several hours dealing with my computer acting up today, but did get the PR out for the software-supply-chain-safe multisig setup. Now with a nice ASCII diagram!

Goal is to be able to interact with the multisig without falling prey to things like the Safe frontend hack.

Masterplan for ethOS is:

Fully open-source software+hardware, fully verifiable from the ground-up.

If you agree with that mission and want to help get there, dm me!

You have my keyboard and @safe ⌨️🟢

Back from a few weeks of semi-hiatus to announce:

Starting today, 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Things have been quiet lately, and I intend to change that. More soon!™

I talked to the EthereumPhone team and they will focus on EVM in the near term, so no BTC support

Without BTC EthereumPhone is interesting compared to the hybrid device accounts like GridPlus and Keycard
- GridPlus: Not portable which is not workable for many
- Keycard: No full keyboard. For @safe transactions I imagine using EthereumPhone full keyboard to quickly enter ENS names and subnames for security and convenience.

To people receiving your @ethos Ethereum Phone soon, Is it possible to access the 12 or 24 word seed phrase?

This is an essential option for users that want to fully own their account and make sure accounts can be recovered without Ethereum Phone in a worst case scenario.

Keycard supports Bitcoin

https://keycard.tech/

Is it possible to access the 12 or 24 word seed phrase from a Keycard?

This is an essential option for users that want to fully own their account and make sure accounts can be recovered without Keycard.

IMO it's not a scale so much as it is separate layers. Some layers (there are more):

1. My wallet provider disappeared, how easy is it to switch to another wallet that won't disappear?
2. My RPC provider disappeared, how easy is it to switch to something that won't disappear? (ie. run an RPC-capable node)
3. My transaction keeps getting rejected, how expensive is it to force it through? (Solana's account-level hotspots vs Ethereum's global hotspot)
4. My transaction is getting censored by validators, how easy is it for me to force it through? (Become a validator? Inclusion lists? something else?)

The best part about many people running their own nodes is that it creates a forcing function for making it easier to run your own node. It might be easy to run your own node *in theory*, but if only one person has been running a node for 10 years, and suddenly that person starts misbehaving and people rush to boot their own nodes only to realize there's 10 years of rot to fight through before anything works... It's not great.

Walletbeat has attributes for all of these 🫡

@safe is at the top of Walletbeat for security.

The next step is knowing what device accounts like Ethereum Phone, Trezor, and Ledger support fully readable Safe transactions txns on their screen to know exactly what is being signed onchain.

You should be able to read the full txn details on the device account before approving onchain.

🟢 Device accounts DAs like GridPlus, @ethos and Keycard are important to use with @safe to strengthen security across devices, people, and locations 

🟠 It'd be great if these next generation devices also support Bitcoin like the legacy Trezor and @ledgerofficial do
