I had a closer look at 15 OFAC-sanctioned transactions recently reported as missing by my miningpool-observer. While all transactions were picked up in the following blocks, it seems like F2Pool started to filter them (again).

Your doing incredible work, respect
One mans terrorist, another mans freedom fighter, one persons nefarious behaviour, someone else's freedom...
As soon as you allow the technical capacity to censor or surveil it will inevitably be used to shape and control opinion.
Freedom is messy, but every other alternative is darker.
Now that Meta is actively rolling out its content policy changes, we are deeply concerned that they will harm vulnerable people. If the company truly values free speechāand its usersāitās moving in the wrong direction. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/metas-new-content-policy-will-harm-vulnerable-users-if-it-really-valued-free
Wow...
I get that Meta is changing their policy based the on the prevailing political winds, and that feels cheap. I'm with you there.
However your outright advocating for censorship. I get that your doing it out of concern for marginalized groups, but censorship is censorship.
I've watched your brand go from punk to woke over the last decade, but this is particuarly blatant. The values your advocating for don't line up with your name anymore. It's like the Patriot Act,
You can't make the minorities safer by giving them an artificially softer enviroment, your coddling them like children. Your not making anyone more free.
Don't tell me how to live! /s
We're all cattle on a tax farm.
Yeah, but it uses electrical energy to mechanically turn a compressor. The compression and expansion of the refrigerant is what allows it to transfer heat from inside the house to outside, or by reversing the valve, heat from outside to inside. This is same physics that fridges, freezers and AC's use. A heatpump just allows the direction to reverse based on the needs.
It's a mechanical input that allows this to happen, not a heat input. So the heat from the miners won't drive a compressor. You need to turn that 'waste' heat from the miners into mechanical energy, but I think the stack of systems required to transfer the energy would induce more losses than the return could justify.
I'm just a clever amature, trying to use first principles, maybe a real physicis or engineer could explain it.
I don't think as a species we know how to make thermodynamics work that way.
Ah! Of course ETH, yeah, good times.
I think a lot of people are underestimating just how bullish the āmergeā isā¦

What is the "merge"?
Any suggestions for a (preferably foss) android app that can open .ics calendar files?

Depends on the other currency, different sub markets have different amounts of liquidity. I have years of experience with the Canadian Interac EFT for BTC sub-market and have usually been limited by a daily $5000 Interac cap, not BISQ liquidity.
Well articulated article:
Haha yeah, here I was like an idiot trying to find it online somewhere to read.
Yes, I am aware Cellebrite specifically publishes their ability to (or lack theorof really) to access GrapheneOS devices, which is a bit of a unique honour.
A different set of security practices is required for sophisticated adverseries. For instance a duress pin that immediately restarts the device and disables the USB port or resets the secure element.
I had this more in mind as a defense against unsophisticated physical threat actors, the proverbial $5 wrench attacks, thugs, unsophisticated or informal law enforcement etc.
That's an amazing idea, I use 4 profiles, and would love to make two of them invisible. I 100p make use of this.
Even if it only applied to guest profiles. You still unlock the owner profile, which could be the decoy, and have a single sub profile login page, that would not disclose how many (if any) sub profiles existed.
