WHERE WE SHOP: SLNT
If you’re like me (and have been relentlessly stacking Bitcoin), you’ve probably looked for ways to improve your privacy.
I admit, it’s a bit of a struggle for me. As someone who was publicly present from the time he wrote his first article in Bitcoin back in 2013I don’t have much choice – a lot of my personal data is there, probably forever.
That said, small improvements go a long way (or so they say). At least they make me feel better about the fact that these days I guard virtually all of my wealth, with no one but myself to be held accountable…
Anyway, one practical upgrade I’ve made is storing my Bitcoin hardware devices and starting materials Faraday bagsthat repel radiation and block frequencies. I’m no expert, but I’m told this makes it harder to tamper with the devices, and as for the extra steps, all you have to do is buy a specific storage bag.
I got my first Faraday bags for free with my Casa service (A multi sig Bitcoin security provider helping me with my self-custody). (They give out free Faraday bags from this cool manufacturer called SLNT for people who sign up, but I’ve since bought a few more.)
That’s what drove me to this privacy masterpiece.
I needed a new backpack and I have to admit that despite the $1,000 price tag, the SLNT Faraday submersible backpack has my attention.
Not only does it look nice and sleek, but apparently it can keep your laptop (and other devices) safe in water up to 30 meters.
For someone with a constant phobia of plane crashes, it’s tempting. Is this more than I need to protect my hardware devices in transit? Should I be concerned about solar flares and EMF radiation?
Maybe not, but since we might be on the brink of World War III, that’s one more reason to skip a pile and buy this, right? I mean, this is something I should own as a “bitcoin expert?”
I asked Shinobi if he could make one from Saran wrapping, but unfortunately this is apparently beyond even his safety judgment. Until then, I think I’m stuck with this on my wish list.
Because there has to be a reason why I’m not buying this, right?
