Communists and fascist are the conservatives on my side of the planet though. They both appeal on "the good old times, when the world was right". Both equally glorify physical labor and fight against the intellectualism.

It’s the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money.

That's funny, because it's not the liberal leaning folks who glorify the hard labor.

That only confirms my hypothesis that leftists don't want a system of governance, but mom and dad...

Filthy capitalists, giving people what they want!

Yes, reporting on a success of an individual is practically the same thing as openning the gas valve... Jesus F. Christ !

Mmmm, all those expired domains with known vulnerable api clients still calling them...

Imagine a botnet. Now, imagine a botnet on wheels!

Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.

For those who did not read the entire thing, it's a so called "filter" that converts the document before it's sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it's not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it's designed to be able to execute ANY command.

Is there a stable, maintained peertube instance, with open registrations, where I could occasionally put up stuff like this? Every instance I've ever registered on is gone.

Flirc cases are nice, but the rubber parts do not handle the high temperatures well.

One of my pis is running inside a cupboard, so not ideal in terms of ventilation. The rubbery top and bottom of the case has started to dissolve into a sticky oil that was a bitch to clean up. The plastic underneath looks OK, so once the rest of it dissolves it will look normal again.

The other pi with the same case that's out in the open shows no signs of degradation.

Vendors concerned about the long term outlook are generally discouraged by the possible jailtime. The ones we are left with tend to not give a shit about tomorrow.

I'm not going to go as far as blaming some corporation for my shitty life, but some nuance is in order. Some people are just more prone to certain types of addictions compared to others. In some cases, we KNOW for a fact it's genetics. In others we can only suspect.

Personally, I've won the lottery nicotine-wise. I could smoke a cigarette one day and not have another for months or years. But put a good cheesecake in front of me and I'll eat until I'm physically not able to continue.

Perfect. Now we're gatekeeping diseases. It's not like the obesity is one of the greatest killers of our generation. Co-OpTeD bY tHe MaRkEt !1

 

zkSNACKs, the developer of Wasabi wallet, has shut down its coinjoin coordinator since June. The news is not surprising, considering that it has already been unavailable for the US customers since May.

Since the wallet itself is non-custodial (you hold the keys), and it's using block filters to update your balance directly from the bitcoin network, the wallet functionality is intact. However, if you want to coinjoin, you have to find another public coordinator.

A list of currently active coordinators is available on wabisator.com, or wasabist.io

Coordinators do not require any privileged access to private information, so it should be safe to use any 3rd party coordinator with enough real active users. At no point are your funds at risk of being stolen.

However, a dedicated attacker running a public coordinator could still pull a de-anonymization attack by mixing your coins solely with their own outputs.

 

Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.

This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.

I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.

HW specifications:

Price (pre-order) $199.00
Hashrate ~1Th/s
Power Consumption 40W - 55W
Number of hashboards 1
Number of ASIC chips 4
Cooling Type Active
Noise 40 dB
Air outlet temperature 40-50 °C

But really, how much would it make in a year?

If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.

It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

 

It's a successor to the model T, with the new design inspired by the Safe 3, announced earlier this year.

They promise nice, easy to use UI, color display, haptic feedback, gorilla glass. Several color variations are available, including the bitcoin-only orange option.

 

"Prosecutors are alleging Samourai Wallet laundered over $100 million in criminal proceeds."

 

"Recent regulatory action against Consensys and Samourai has instilled fear among other crypto service providers operating in the United States."

  • Wasabi is the main competitor to Samourai's whirpool mixing service. The only one flying under the radar currently is Joinmarket.
  • Phoenix is the Lightning network wallet where users keep custody of their funds, but the channel management is outsourced to the company. The only remaining self custodial lightning wallet that remains is Breez.

While this news is deeply troubling, it might push further development to more sustainable trustless self-custodial solutions in the long term.

 
 

A story about Sarah Meiklejohn, and how she started to analyze the blockchain back in 2013.

Once, drug dealers and money launderers saw cryptocurrency as perfectly untraceable.

 

A new type of vulnerability has been found, affecting the routing nodes, allowing the attacker to steal the amount locked in HTLC you're forwarding for them. Several scenarios and possible mitigations are suggested in the article.
