Newbs are always retarded. True in 2013 and true now. Some of the 2013 generation are the worst shitcoiners now.

What am I missing?

I certainly am. I don’t have TDS, I just think Trump is going to get rolled by the deep state once again. And, I pray that I’m wrong for Ross and Lynn’s sake.

Technically, switching pools is trivial. In practice, not so much. Foundry is the only option for regulated US public companies, the majority of the total hash rate. If it is so trivial for the rest, why do they sell their hash rate to Antpool, which has a track record of attacking Bitcoin and shipping closed source firmware with backdoors?

My comments apply only to longterm solo custody. I agree that decaying multisig would be good for collaborative multisig. Combined with insurance like AnchorWatch, it is awesome.

nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as is one of the few genuine orgs i trust in this space. mainly because the people are legit and are actually making the world a better place. grateful for their support.

They continually remind me why the tools we’re building are more than just a technical curiosity. They have the ability to make real change and save lives. Bullish on a more private nostr in 2025.

I like their Bitcoin stuff but can’t help being sceptical of their overall mission. It is very much NED-aligned.

I’m sorry but there is no “we” here. The US Department of “Justice” and JSTOR drove him to suicide with their malicious prosecution, while his alma mater MIT threw him under the bus. Diffusing responsibility to “society” lets the guilty off the hook.

Tutorial on using BIP85 _in practice_ would be very useful. The theory is understood, but how do you actually go about managing those derived keys and using them for hot wallets is not straightforward, especially for Lightning.

Can you give some examples? My take is that we tend to stick to standards that are now understood to be suboptimal, like BIP33/BIP39, in order to preserve interoperability.

Because I don’t want those keys to be on devices permanently and I don’t want to access the seed plates regularly either. Only applies to longterm cold storage, of course.

I want to talk about something that some people may find offensive, and that I can’t talk about on Twitter to not get shadow banned as I have to rely on reach for my work.

The first time I attended Chaos Computer Congress was over 15 years ago. It had the best parties in town, and we would sneak in for the nightlife.

As I rekindled my interest in politics, computers and the internet, I became more aligned with the CCC’s mission: hacking the planet to hold power to account.

While I was already disappointed with some of the CCC’s policies – particularly on things like COVID and Bitcoin – this year was the first time that I seriously lost hope for and trust in the CCC as an institution – starting with its opening speech.

The CCC’s opening speech sets the theme for the event. This year, it was dedicated to the global rise of fascism. Speakers talked about Germany’s protests against the far-right AFD, about Donald Trump, LGBTQ and abortions, and pro-democracy protests in countries like Georgia.

But not a single word was lost to the genocide in Palestine.

Checking the CCC’s schedule, I merely found a single talk on Palestine, which explicitly made clear that it did not take a stance on whether Israel was right or wrong in its operations.

There were still a lot of great talks at the congress, and many assemblies showed their solidarity, but this complete lack of mention is what really stood out for me.

To understand what a hackers congress has to do with genocide, we need to take an uncomfortable look at Nazi Germany.

What enabled the Holocaust 80 years ago was not just a bunch of bloodthirsty eugenicist maniacs high on ungodly amounts of speed and their fascist ideologies. It was the streamlining of exploitation and murder to never before seen efficiency, with the help of new, more efficient technologies.

It is these same advancements in technology that are fueling the genocide in Palestine today. It’s surveillance on an unprecedented scale, evermore invasive spyware, AI enabled targeting and automated drone warfare.

You can think of Palestine what you want, but this technology is being exported from Palestine to the rest of the world today.

It’s facial recognition systems and license plate scanners that Israel uses to enforce apartheid that you’ll soon see scanning your biometrics for your next flight on holidays, or your car on your next trip to work.

It’s spyware companies that test their products to soon sell them to governments around the world targeting activists, journalists and opposition.

It’s psychological warfare utilizing dating sites like Grindr to social engineer Palestinians into spying on their peers and extort their sexual preferences.

Just last month, the a16z portfolio company Skydio, which is a major Israeli military contractor, was caught providing its surveillance drones to Yale University to monitor and track student protestors.

Some of you may find this topic uncomfortable as it may not align with your political views.

But the reality remains that the genocide in Palestine is a testing ground for never before seen surveillance tech that will soon be used on you. And the world’s most renowned hackers are silent.

TL;DR: woke is a psyop to suppress narratives that go against the regime.
