I use the passphrase feature. What I like about the current way of doing donations is that there are no moving parts. I don't need to maintain another service or worry about it being compromised. Doing it this way gives me peace of mind about the donations being safe and secure.

Ok, great. You can import that seed and passphrase directly into Samourai. Your PayNym is deterministically generated from the seed. Apk download here. samouraiwallet.com/download/lates code.samourai.io/wallet/samoura

I don't want to give my seed / passphrase to anything but the Trezor though. I'm always careful to enter the passphrase only on the Trezor itself rather than my phone. My main concern is the security of the money.

I'd rather just make a separate wallet for this if it's going to need a seed / passphrase and then regularly transfer over the money to the same hardware wallet. It's one more thing I need to worry about and deal with though. I also think typical Trezor frontends won't handle it.

If addresses are being generated for that seed/passphrase dynamically, it's going to end up leaving gaps larger than what the typical wallets use to find all the funds. That was one of the main issues I saw with using BTCPay other than concern about compromises and maintenance.

No, It won’t. PayNyms use stealth address tech. They’re not generating addresses way down the derivation path like BTCPayServer.

Makes sense but then I don't see how I can use it with Trezor. I'd need to do this separately with Samourai on a dedicated phone.

Yes. That's what many of us do thanks to you.

I'm super exhausted, stressed out and burned out dealing with James and Copperhead for years. I'm going to end up with a bunch of legal fees to cover with donations but aside from that it's hard to make use of it right now. I have my hands full dealing with this conflict.

I'm sorry we got in a fight about these things but it was genuinely very upsetting for me. Feels bad seeing people who I thought supported me doing something I see as completely incompatible with that. I can't deal with more than the legal issues and development work right now.

Donations are currently only really used to buy development devices for contributors. I'd like to expand that to getting them good workstations once they're a regular contributor. Other than that, it's honestly hard to make good use of donations right now. Lack the time / energy.

If you take a look at that static Bitcoin address that you're complaining about, you can see that I've barely used any of it so far. About to send some to a contributor to get them a Pixel 3a but things like that don't add up to a lot of money. Hiring people would be really hard.

Take a break from the keyboard or at least twitter for now. When you’re ready to set up a wallet on GrapheneOS, there’s a bunch of folk here ready to assist with any questions etc you have on managing funds etc and preserving the privacy of your donors. All the best.

I'm not really going to feel any better after a break. The issues bothering me are still there. I'm procrastinating moving forward with the legal battle and issues like following up with the CRA on the tax side of the conflict. My life got completely fucked up by what happened.
