24 conservative groups back my SAFE for Kids Act.

When nearly 80% of underage children have been exposed to adult content online, commonsense safeguards are needed NOW!

@theinstagibbs *chef's kiss*

I never even got a message.

Clearly, his AI agents are not performing well.

Kudos to ChainQuery for resurrecting and enhancing @khannib's "UTXO Repartition" charts that analyze all of the different types of locking scripts currently used to secure BTC.

@MrHodl @anant_tap Single sig + strong passphrase is effectively a 2-of-2 multisig, which is pretty brittle.

Neither single sig + passphrase nor multisig is panacea; as you point out, the devil is in the details as to how each secret can be accessed.

I just want to let everyone know how much I love Obscura. It's not that I didn't trust Mullvad. It's the peace of mind of not having to trust any single provider. Split trust is a genius idea.

@schneierblog > And this fragility is the fundamental problem that makes blockchain such a bad idea.

Um, what? This has NOTHING to do with using a blockchain. The fragility of ZKP cryptography is completely tangential to a blockchain data structure.

They’re proposing more KYC for devices. @lopp has a good blog post on this and how people can do something about it https://t.co/yGkYKSflXu

@hodlonaut I never received any message from you about this, either via email or my contact form. I guess that means either my email or my PoW contact form successfully filtered out spam!

@LapiuPepe @L0RINC @Princey21M A "rule" without any consequences for "breaking" it is not a rule. Look in the mirror and you'll see a retarded Knotzi who has been bamboozled by Luke, Mechanic, et al. You're going to have a very bad time in August.

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

@L0RINC @Princey21M You should run this analysis for sub 1 sat/vb transactions as well, to show that there are multiple cases where it was proven that a relay policy was ineffective and that Core only responded to that new reality after the fact.

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

The first step to enacting control of networks and technologies is for authorities to gate access with KYC.

Any service that can be abused in any conceivable way is a ripe target for bureaucrats to mandate KYC. They'll KYC your phone, your ISP, your finances, your AI models...

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

Cypherpunks unite! Give the FCC a piece of your mind about the proposal to implement a KYC regime for all phone users!

I'm seeing new trend of requests to add web sites to my Bitcoin resources list. They claim to be educational or provide various services, even claiming years of operation. But upon closer review they're LLM generated and only a few months old. 🚨

Internet Archive is a great tool for assessing reputation!

@Trezor @BTCPrague @JosefTetek @TrezorAcademy Let me know when this is publicly streamable so that I can link to it from my list of bitcoin documentaries. https://t.co/o7pDjO5kFt

America just minted the world's first trillionaire and he's an African immigrant.

America is a nation of immigrants.
America will need immigrants more than ever.
