This is a good overview of the fallacy of Bitcoin‘s “security budget” being a problem. Block rewards won’t go away until about 2140, with the network then going to fees alone. Hashrate and fees will adjust to what is needed…
More than 150 taxpayers have had their property tax checks stolen and then used in check washing schemes, and the network appears to be national. And the scheme seems to track to the Oakland mail processing center, even though this…
Anything with the UAE is of interest, as the country of the coming Antichrist, and seven heads of the Beast in Revelation, and also home to the Abrahamic Family House. Also, the image of the beast that is given breath…
What’s the point of a VPN if logged and tracked? Though, the making it a crime for you to violate the law is troublesome. I wonder how this will affect Tor usage? You can use bridges that obfuscate traffic to…
This isn’t going to be good. I remember several years ago going to Costco, and you got a lot of food to get the bill up to $250. Well today, we’re spending $350 not even getting that much food at…
And it’s just another example of gift cards being trash. People waste so much money with gift cards, as many don’t get used, or balances are left… Though, I like Buc-ee’s. When traveling into Colorado we go there for a…
I’m not sure who would use this over the opensource git package, but if you do, you probably want to turn off Microsoft’s telemetry. Unless you want to help Microsoft train its AI with your activity. Opt-out instructions included…
The whole purpose of a mixing service it to give you financial privacy on a public blockchain, as it breaks the tracking of transactions to a point you might have been identified. And there is a compelling reason for this,…
For one, these politicians and tech megacorps don’t care about children as they’re all for murdering babies in the womb, and mutilating them for gender dysphoria. And I’d bet they would support a measure like in the Netherlands where you…
Banks are the absolute worst, as they’re still fighting you getting rewards for holding stablecoins, while they don’t pay you much interest for your bank account when they lend out 90% of your money making good returns. As stablecoins are…
This whole thing has got to be purposeful. Not only are they profiting off the stock market and timing trades to Trump’s social media posts, but this will be worse than the 70’s oil embargo with a greater percentage of…
I worked for Brinks in the late 90’s, and this might point to inside information from an employee at the bank, business, or Brinks itself. Of course, if a check cashing business it is easy to figure out. During my…
Most conscious people knew this was a Demonrat propaganda outfit, but this is kind of hilarious that they got busted creating and sponsoring the groups they claimed to fight against, which points to the whole white racism narrative being so…
Some of the responses to the X announcement were brutal, but deserved. And count me in for never running unpatched Bitcoin Core ever again, as I’m running the BIP-110 patched version of Bitcoin Knots, itself a patched version of Bitcoin…
Yet another state law for ID and age verification on install or first setup. Well, we know Meta and other tech megacorps are behind these laws and why they’re so similar. But it’s all a creep towards digital ID and…
[Update} The two soldiers involved got 30 days of jail time and the statue was replaced. (Headline article below) I kind of went in on the Muslims in Iraq and Iran, so worth pointing out that Israelis do not like…
