There is some good analysis on how these government changes affect Bitcoin, especially the classification that Bitcoin is not a security. If the SEC would have had their way, wallet developers would have been classified and forced to register as…
The original reason for this hack was there were hardcoded authentication secrets that were stolen. This brings up a major problem with programmers today, and it’s vibe coding, using AI to write software. It’s one thing if done by a…
If you’ve been unhappy with the path of Bitcoin Core and blowing up OP_RETURN along with adding the taproot bug that enabled the blockchain to be spammed with images and extra data without ever trying to fix it, also blowing…
Interesting enforcement actions in Canada around cryptocurrency businesses. I found this post below from the CEO of Bull Bitcoin that sheds some light on their KYC/AML regulations as a Canadian business. I believe they moved the business headquarters to Alberta,…
This story is interesting, as it’s generally reported that there are a lot of darknet CSAM sites reported to law enforcement that aren’t investigated. Yet they take down all these fake CSAM sites bilking pedophiles of their Bitcoin? Was somebody…
Verified developers is just a money grab, costing devs $25 to register. And this 24 hour waiting period is pretty odd, which just goes along with making this a pain so only the most persistent will bother. I’d bet money…
I never cared much for Mormon Glenn Beck (choosing a Satanic religion is a ding on your character), though occasionally his outfit does some decent reporting. But there is a bit in this article that made me laugh out loud,…
A while back there was a story about the Strava heat map showing activity that was revealing secret military bases, so this is nothing new, but it is quite funny because governments are cooperating with big tech and data brokers…
Here’s Trump putting his name on a censorship bill for government control of information within AI all while expanding legal liability for content posted with online social media properties as well. And pay attention to the workforce monitoring and AI…
Here’s the post which is pretty funny, because Devuan doesn’t use systemd. Supposedly this is related to Snap packages and Ubuntu, but it does highlight that systemd is getting out of hand with doing too much, like adding age verification.…
Are the big tech megacorps trying to squeak this through? I won’t have anything to do with Wayland from IBM/Red Hat and run XLibre, and perhaps soon it will be time to ditch systemd. Arch is pretty heavily dependent on…
The war on opensource is on with users being the victims, though easily avoided with a VPN for now. And all this incremental age verification is just to push us towards a digital ID by making it more palatable. I…
