This is diabolical. Plug and play receptacles in street lights that can be upgraded with advanced cameras, AI, signal intelligence… And since they’re street lights, they’ll turn neighborhoods into jail like surveillance, the coming Panopticon. This is Agenda 2030 preparation…
It would seem someone is spinning up a bunch of Bitcoin Core 27 nodes to try and keep the percentage of Bitcoin Knots BIP-110 nodes from gaining a higher percentage. Who fears this and has the resources to do it?…
I’m just not on board with anyone that recommends the Seedsigner over other hardened hardware wallets, as it has no secure elements or engineering to harden the physical device you construct from off the shelf components. And since it doesn’t…
A good overview of what is coming Saturday in the battle for Bitcoin. I’d just sit back and watch, and get your Bitcoin stored safely and close any Lightning channels… If the BIP-110 side decides to hard fork because miners…
An interesting analysis of a paper covering an earlier version of Monero that was a bit too chatty between nodes on Tor, though already corrected in the latest version. And worth noting, compile your own node. I download the source…
Another good video going into the BIP-110 activation weekend. Technically the rejection of blocks not signaling for BIP-110 with true activation coming later. And you have to love the clown picture of Saylor, who is actually a clown if you…
And remember that all the big tech platforms are moving to you not being able to install software on your devices unless the developer is in their developer program with the proper signing key. It’s one part extortion for money,…
Some good conspiracy theory material to ponder, and would I be wrong in thinking that NVK just might have signaled the retirement attack by those tweets? Going along those lines, was the change from Trezor’s code to new code with…
Russia’s version of Starlink utilizing the same laser links between satellites, changing the battlefield in Ukraine. And soon to be sold to other states. While Washington flipped switches to silence Russian terminals, Moscow built its own master key. The…
And you know a lot of other pharmaceutical poisons are in the water in other locations that use treated sewer water. I have a post about water quality and filtration with a good water picture option. And at the very…
Nice video to show that bad actors in the space are trying to say BIP-110 was put on hold due to the Coldcard debacle. It’s looking like a chain split is inbound for this weekend. Is Bitcoin captured, or are…
This has been covered here before, but there is some good legal guidance in the last half. Myself, I’d wipe devices before traversing borders and maybe just carry a backup smartphone. And tell them they’re just travel devices I hadn’t…
Why would our bought and paid for Senators sign onto this bill with Demonrats Adam Schiff and Andy Kim? Oh wait, I answered my question. It’s extremely interesting that so many bills all have the $7,500 fine per violation. Consequently,…
I used Nitter to look at X this morning, and it looked like Coinkite was destroying all their unsold Coldcard hardware wallets for new packaged ones with the updated firmware. The serialized bags they’re put in are part of their…
I was thinking of doing a blog post about the Coldcard Q debacle possibly being a state level attack on Bitcoin because the timing and damage is just too perfect for undermining Bitcoin and people employing self-custody, all right about…
The Windows 10 that was supposed to last forever debacle pushed many people to Linux. Throw in the complete tracking of people on Windows 11 with their GDID along with Apple and their ID system, and people concerned with privacy…
