He would want us to give our Bitcoin to the poor too

Not for them but for us :bitcoin_sm:

The functionality provided by Google's new Android System SafetyCore app available through the Play Store is covered here:

https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/5-new-protections-on-google-messages.html

Neither this app or the Google Messages app using it are part of #GrapheneOS and neither will be, but GrapheneOS users can choose to install and use both. Google Messages still works without the new app.

The app doesn't provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.

It's unfortunate that it's not open source and released as part of the Android Open Source Project and the models also aren't open let alone open source. It won't be available to GrapheneOS users unless they go out of the way to install it.

We'd have no problem with having local neural network features for users, but they'd have to be open source. We wouldn't want anything saving state by default. It'd have to be open source to be included as a feature in GrapheneOS though, and none of it has been so it's not included.

Google Messages uses this new app to classify messages as spam, malware, nudity, etc. Nudity detection is an optional feature which blurs media detected as having nudity and makes accessing it require going through a dialog.

Apps have been able to ship local AI models to do classification forever. Most apps do it remotely by sharing content with their servers. Many apps have already have client or server side detection of spam, malware, scams, nudity, etc.

Classifying things like this is not the same as trying to detect illegal content and reporting it to a service. That would greatly violate people's privacy in multiple ways and false positives would still exist. It's not what this is and it's not usable for it.

GrapheneOS has all the standard hardware acceleration support for neural networks but we don't have anything using it. All of the features they've used it for in the Pixel OS are in closed source Google apps. A lot is Pixel exclusive. The features work if people install the apps.

over a month's period of monitoring rewards I see it paying more than a FPPS pool at 1.5% fee

this is an on-chain payout scenario, and not BOLT12 LN payouts which would be more

99.9% of government decision makers are unelected. what a fool's argument

The Debian package now includes two extra binaries: one for the backend (Wallet API) and one for the coordinator (Coinjoin API).

This makes it easier for community members to run a backend and/or a coordinator, private or publicly

Wasabi is slowly becoming a lightweight, easy-to-use Bitcoin wallet with amazing privacy features, not depending on any server.

There are few, if any, that compare in the ecosystem, and we are hard at work to make sure that Wasabi is undeniably the best of its kind.

decentralize coinjoin coordination!

hope they keep Peter Tong and Essential Mix. I'd subscribe to that.
