1. Exploding pagers belonging to Hezbollah kill at least 9 and injure more than 2,750 in Lebanon: More than 200 people were in critical condition, the public health minister, Dr. Firas Abiad, told reporters. Mojtaba Amani, Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, was among the injured, according to the country’s embassy. One of those killed was Muhammad Mahdi, the son of Ali Ammar, a Hezbollah member of Parliament. Hezbollah says it has handed out pagers to members, many of whom stopped using cellphones out of fear that Israel could use them to track and monitor them. (NBC)

2. Ukrainian drone attack triggers earthquake-sized blast at arsenal in Russia's Tver region: Unverified video and images on social media showed a huge ball of flame blasting high into the night sky and multiple detonations thundering across a lake about 380 km (240 miles) west of Moscow. NASA satellites picked up intense heat sources emanating from an area of about 14 square kilometres at the site in the early hours and earthquake monitoring stations picked up what sensors thought was a small earthquake.

3. US moves soldiers to Alaska island amid Russian military activity increase in the area: The U.S. military has moved about 130 soldiers along with mobile rocket launchers to a desolate island in the Aleutian chain of western Alaska amid a recent increase in Russian military planes and vessels approaching American territory.

3. SpaceX fined for ‘illegal’ launch of rockets: Just days after regulators grounded SpaceX’s Mars-bound Starship rocket for two months, Elon Musk’s firm is facing a major fine for alleged safety violations of two launches last year. The US FAA proposed $633,009 in civil penalties for the private space firm, claiming that it failed to follow license requirements in May and July 2023. Mr Musk responded to the proposed fine in a post to X, writing: “SpaceX will be filing suit against the FAA for regulatory overreach.”(IndependentUK)

1. SEC says FTX auditor did not understand the crypto market: The US SEC has charged the auditor of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX with misconduct, saying the firm took on Sam Bankman-Fried’s company as a client without properly understanding the crypto market.

(CoinDesk) (AC-Bitcoiners are a special breed.)

2. AI-focused Bitcoin miners are outperforming rivals: AI-focused Bitcoin miners such as Core Scientific, IREN and Terawulf are outperforming their “pure play” rivals in terms of stock price due to stronger conviction in the data center thesis amid choppy bitcoin price action, according to analysts.

*NSTR-Nothing Significant To Report

Has anyone tried the bitcion company prepaid visa card?

I have bought one and it appears to have no cvv number.

I'm not sure where I can use it without that?

If posted the source code of my web site as a nostr event, then a desktop installed client that recognised that event could show the website when a user types in my npub.

Over time, that desktop client could replace a web browser and we would have an whole new internet that is uncensorable.

Who knows how real either number is, but notably I crossed 70k followers here on Nostr a couple days before I touched 700k on Twitter.

Trying to do a hard fork of Bitcoin is conceptually like copying all the data from Wikipedia (it's not that much) and hosting it on your own website, but then getting very little web traffic because you don't have the millions of backlinks that point to the real Wikipedia or the volunteer army of people that a constantly update the real Wikipedia. Your split version of Wikipedia would be inherently worse than the real one from the moment you copy it.
