Weighing up if I want to spend the extra $100 on a Coldcard Q vs MK4.
If I donβt care about having the qwerty keyboard is the QR scanner and self contained power worth the extra money?

Aside from the constant 3d printing yesterday I got out in the sub freezing temps to get a few things done around the farm. The cooler got emptied of the frozen blech, the coop door now closes all the way, and I got the cover put over the water line. I'm really hoping this will do the trick to keep the heat in and the line thawed since it has heat tape on it. I'll now in a bit when I go out.
Toasted another nozzle overnight last night and had to take the hot end apart this morning before I could get it back printing again. More will be here tomorrow though so there will be backups soon.

{"content":"Reasons to spend bitcoin (incl. Lightning):\n\n1\/ It's more secure and private than filling out a form with personal information (e.g. credit card payment on some websites) or 1a\/ handing over *credentials* to a waiter, or a POS machine that you don't trust. 1b\/ The UI is therefore better (it's smoother)\n\n2\/ It's cheaper *maybe* for you, but specifically for the merchant, than credit cards\n\n3\/ It (quasi)-settles immediately in LN case and in 10 min on chain; card payments often take 60 days\n\n4\/ It has cash like properties but you can pay remotely and immediately\n\n5\/ It cannot be blocked by a payments provider\n\n6\/ There is no (realistic) limit how small or large the payment can be\n\n7\/ Every transaction, especially the more p2p ones, e.g. between friends, but also to companies, adds and improves bitcoin's privacy overall - consider that if we did nothing but move bitcoin to and from KYC exchanges, there would be zero privacy, independent of advanced cryptography. More business or personal transactions without KYC, the less information is in the onchain tracing.\n\n8\/ There is no global systemic downtime when some backend fails (this one is more debatable)\n\n9\/ Actually using bitcoin is how you learn its mechanics and will give you necessary expertise to not lose it, even if your primary goal is only saving.\n\n10\/ Using bitcoin makes it a better money, as you are participating in the process which makes it a viable form of money for others.\n\n#spedn\n\n","kind":1,"sig":"c4b56406b212bda6990605389795ba43698ca83cc31bbd2f16575189aae8ca47a9c74e65db3ee58c85310ae8f492d64d3486bd060add16aec8761faffe9fbf66","tags":[["t","spedn"]],"id":"ea12b69f825395b8a7752a45ffb2d12a987df1db03d100922c1ab3f83112dd03","created_at":1737905115,"pubkey":"675b84fe75e216ab947c7438ee519ca7775376ddf05dadfba6278bd012e1d728"}
