Cake Wallet has a wonderful way of handling Silent Payments on Bitcoin if you have your own Bitcoin node with Electrs, but not a version that supports Silent Payments which I need to investigate further. Cake Wallet keeps using your…
A good reason among many to not use Chrome. Though, no word on if Brave was impacted as it’s Chrome based. I keep Brave Origin installed on my system for certain sites that don’t like Firefox, but rarely use it.…
Well, just more evidence that Flock can’t secure their devices, and in a previous report where they got their hands on legally obtained devices, they use an older, no longer supported version of Android (no more security updates) and some…

This is an astonishing engineering blunder. And I’m glad I didn’t see this before we’ve been going through all the tunnels in Colorado over the last couple weeks. And it’s not rocket science that anything fast setting isn’t as strong…
