If you’re running your own Bitcoin node, you can turn off Replace By Fee, RBF, temporarily to prevent those with multisig wallets getting robbed by RBF transactions once they post transactions to the mempool to clear out their Coldcard hardware…
My one complaint with Manjaro Linux is there is no repo support for the Linux-Zen kernel. I’m running Manjaro on my old Chromebook laptop which has limited hardware, and the Linux-Zen kernel is smoother and more responsive. And this simple…
It’s looking like this latest wave is another party iterating through the 4 billion key possibilities as they’re sending coins to unique addresses. The first person might have outed themselves by using a paid blockchain service to check addresses instead…
Some new interesting details like the funds taken have hit $70 million. I have a post where Bitcoin Mechanic said this was a result of Coinkite’s anti-competitive behavior in rewriting code to change the opensource licensing and making it commercially…
This is overly dramatic, as I don’t have a problem with inmates getting paid less to do jobs as it gives them something to do and there are of course security expenses. The problem is when corrupt police and judges…
I think these are primarily people adding new packages, but best to continue due diligence and check the PKGBUILD files diffs for packages you use from the AUR. And for some things you can just get the AppImage from the…
What’s funny about this (I was trying to ignore this article), is that it’s really two pagan religions fighting each other. As a female pastor goes against God and scripture pointing directly to disobedience, and as John MacArthur would say,…

(Headline blog post below) Basically, if you created a seed with Coldcard hardware wallets from 2021 to present, you need to update the firmware and generate a new seed like now. They incorrectly programmed the firmware to use a code…
This is how the major software bug is being reported on, and since the BTC price has dropped to $62k. It’s not really a problem with Bitcoin, but just a hardware implementation with how a random seed phrase is generated.…
I don’t agree with her left leaning perspective, but it’s an interesting initiative to be aware of. And curious given the coordinated attack on Bitcoin to make it much more difficult and expensive to run your own private node, as…
And supposedly red Texas is on board with the UK in age checks for Discord users. The worldwide creep towards digital ID goes beyond borders, or any one government. And these governments don’t care about children which bears out in…
Some good information on the Windows GDID tracking number, but of interest Apple has something similar. And if you turn off analytics, Apple is still sharing it. And for the win, Linux which does have a unique identifier, but it…
As if the surveillance state apparatus being built around us isn’t disturbing enough, there could be a lot more surveillance just by the migration to 6G hardware. The idea of 6G phones being remote radar sensors is quite alarming, along…
The end of Jeremiah 9 has some wonderful scriptures on how to have a relationship with God, even before Christ’s appearance. Jeremiah 9:23–24 [23] Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the…
