This is to github as gcc was to licensed C compilers !?!?

On Sunday, June 29th 2025, I built and verified the following images for SeedSigner release v0.8.6:

Others have also verified binary reproducibility; you can too.

On resolution: "To learn about Miniscript in 2025"

By the end of last week: covered Liana's Expanding-Multisig wallets.

Earlier this week: worked thru Liana's Simple Inheritance wallets.

SeedSigner v0.8.5, released on the evening of February 4th 2025, brings multi-language internationalization to the entire code-base with an initial localization in Spanish.

Since v0.7.0 SeedSigner has supported binary reproducibility which effectively obsoletes the need for verifying a signed release-manifest from somebody that most of us cannot know, because it enables anyone to rebuild the same release-image, byte-for-byte, directly from the open-source code repository.

I hereby attest that:

• I've been following the SeedSigner project since October 2022,
• I take great pride in helping out however I can as part of that team -- following and testing code changes as it evolves, exchanging ideas with the wonderful SeedSigner Community,
• and that I was able to reproduce ALL of the release images for v0.8.5, matching the sha256 hashes that Nick mentions in nostr event "nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqxj6lwv69s9n5z9y52h0c9r2ec8fuak2pe9nuarj6dy3eqp4hta3qqsxu2zt9v9004u8ndn7ggxeem98u0fqrn372ku3c6v4u3dpst265ag8vykap" and also contained in the release-manifest "seedsigner.0.8.5.sha256.txt" signed by SeedSigner-the-man having rsa fingerprint ~ "4673 9B74 ... 0726 0119".

"All I have is my node, a stateless signer, and my secrets. How to...?"

I've been working on learning to "make do" with minimal tools:

• Bitcoin Core as a watch-only wallet (via cli and rpc),
• Stateless signers SeedSigner and Krux,
• SeedQReader, a QR-encoder/decoder, to cut-n-paste between my watch-only bitcoin-rpc sessions and a signing device.

Last week I got thru documenting single-sig and multisig Native Segwit wallets, including sections for:

• Secrets setup
• Extended Public Keys
• Output Descriptor
• Watch-Only Wallet setup
• Spending Funds (the important how-to steps)
• Evolution of a PSBT and
• Understanding Programmable Money (stepping thru btcdeb bitcoin script debugger)

This week I'm working on doing the same for default Liana Miniscript wallets.

Yesterday, I got thru Liana's Simple-Inheritance P2WSH setup.

https://gist.github.com/jdlcdl/b0dea22a8a6caf0fd7c40b244357d8d2

Today, I'm on schedule to finish similar for Taproot.

If I stay on track, I should have similar for Liana's Expanding-Multisig wallets, in P2WSH as well as Taproot, by the end of this week.

These works are part of my resolution: "to learn Miniscript in 2025".

I'll keep sharing small W's if and when they arrive.

Sharing another tiny W on the journey to:

Better understanding of Miniscript and bitcoin script in 2025

(via Bitcoin Core, SeedQReader, and signers Krux and SeedSigner).

This time, it's a 2-of-3 p2wsh (native segwit) multisig

I've added a section w/ kallewoof's btcdeb bitcoin script debugger. It's great for learning bitcoin-script in baby-steps and will be invaluable when I finally get to spends for Miniscript.

Somebody put their money where their mouth is.

Just before the new year, I resolved to finally learning about Miniscript.

With limited wallet choices for doing so, it took me into a dive to see what could be accomplished with bitcoin-cli, a qr-code encoder/decoder for cut-n-paste, and a DIY air-gapped stateless signing device.

After getting through all that, realizing I'd bitten off more than I could chew, I thought I'd step back from the Miniscript dive to get more comfortable gluing the above tools together (this time in a python session) and performing simple signing operations -- learning as I go.

Yesterday's exploration: the simplest of necessities w/ limited tools.

https://gist.github.com/jdlcdl/e7b3c01384c83fb7c5518c0e053747f4

More to follow? I'll do my best to share "W"s if and when they emerge.

Hmmm,

What's going on here?

Go ahead, touch it! The paint is finally dry.

Because YOUR attentive eyes DO matter:

• for yourself and for your loved-ones, present and future,
• and for your fellow peers, known and unknown,
• and for the beautiful future we're building together.

Who the hell is @jdlcdl (Jean Do) and why is he fiddling with embit? You may find the answer to the second question below:

A crowd has been waiting for 50m already, and 6 new blocks have been mined since then.

Stand up, Walk out? Tik Tock Next Block.

Wait for no man's empty promises.

Onward!

I wouldn't make it in "sales" because I'd be too honest with potential customers about the downsides.

But there are exceptions for products and projects that are so good that I'd be able to shill with, if not better than, the very best of 'em.

Here's one.

I don't know who you are, but you certainly do.

Thank you! 🙏
