No need to feel terrible, but pull requests are welcome. There's also hundreds of pull requests awaiting review and testing.

> an agreement first put forward by Russia

Ah yes, the traditional brave fighters against cybercrime.

> text that says authorities investigating crimes in any nation are entitled to obtain electronic evidence from other nations as well as ask internet service providers to hand over data

Very useful for spying an for obtaining data that can then be used for extortion. No need for ransomware :-) Or just to persecute opposition figures abroad.

Fortunately the UN is mostly a lame duck, but we'll see.

Interessant item over de Digitale Euro. Ik wacht nog steeds op een fatsoenlijke technische omschrijving. Tot die tijd ga ik er vanuit alle marketing over privacy kul is.

Video message from Alexy Pertsev's prison studio.

The fundraiser on Juicebox is ETH only. I asked them to look into Geyser Fund since there might interest from Bitcoin folks too. Otherwise I guess we'll have to figure out how swaps work...

McDonalds radio ads for staff. That's a bull-market indicator, right?

I delivered newspapers early in the morning. Other than not liking to wake up early, cold winters and that one time someone lit my delivery (bicycle) bag on fire, it paid reasonably well for a 14(?) year old. I staid lazy ever since :-)

There were stories like this a decade ago from what I recall. Don't organize security conferences in a city run by maffia?

Indeed, the environmental issue with planes is mostly that they cause people to travel longer distances. But I'm mostly concerned about comfort and experience. It's a rather boring drive through mostly flat landscapes. Plus you have to deal with a zillion different incompatible toll systems (well at least in Poland).

No war zone, but a bit too long of a drive. Not sure yet if I'm going, but if so I'll probably fly. nostr:note13g9zytvzrlw3aenxlagcarnl3xk8lgwdf7nlp9xv2k5eq89vws8skxpp96

Having the same seed on two devices wasn't what I had in mind. In that case it's better to use MuSig2 (regular multisig has the same problem, though both devices would need to be compromised).

Why would adding computer randomness at seed generation time help with exfill at signing time?

If there an RFC / BIP for anti-exfill at signing time?

That sounds like a useful episode. IIRC rfc6979 doesn't apply to Schnorr, so if you use it and don't support Taproot you're good for now? I also forgot if you can verify it, or that it's only a useful tool for wallet developers to avoid a footgun.

About an hour in the therapy session continues! (hijacking about 2/3rd of the episode)

I saw this mini bicycle garage being constructed during my visits to Den Bosch for the #TornadoCash trial; the court is on that side of the station.
