Reality of our days:

1. I am sitting on a set of vulns (4+) that allows me to remotely take over a consumer home automation device I have (3+ diff ways).
2. The vendor doesn't only serve consumers, but also critical infra (announced partnerships include pharma manufacturing plants, airport logistics, hospitals, etc) across various locations in Europe and the US (not the same product line, ofc, so maybe moot).
3. Claude and Astra refuse to help me explore even my own device, so now I'm using Chinese hosted models for investigating.
4. The vendor (with a revenue of $0.75B) does not maintain any security disclosure practice whatsoever, nor does respond to emails.

So, to recap, I need to outsource vulnerability hunting of (potentially, I don't know) critical western infrastructure to Chinese models, because the western models refuse; and the vendor doesn't give a shit. Fun timeline.

PS: The vendor is Swiss.

It's really wild working with abliterated models primarily.

You ask it to do something, and it'll just fucking go.

Wild. We've conditioned ourselves as an industry to toe step around AI and our AI overlords.

No longer needs to be the case. The machine works for us now.

[John S @JStefanop1]

Couldn’t be more excited and proud of the team for pulling this off. This has been years in the making, and we’ve finally built a product worthy of Micro Center’s shelves.

This is also pretty personal to me. I started @futurebit 10 years ago, working out of my Brooklyn studio and making weekly trips for parts to the same Brooklyn Micro Center store where our product will launch this Friday.

I couldn’t have imagined a better retail chain for our debut in physical stores. Micro Center sits at the intersection of new tech and tech-savvy buyers, and it’s also the only remaining major consumer electronics chain in the US focused primarily on computers and consumer hardware.

Incredibly excited for what this means for the future of Bitcoin and home mining, for continuing to expand the user base of our products, and, more importantly, for getting even more people involved at the base layer of Bitcoin.

Blog post with the context for how @Lightlike1 and I discovered this issue.

[Michael Ford @fanquake]

Our latest high severity disclosure:

> A reorg can restore a transaction topology that violates TRUC’s descendant limit: valid in a block but impossible to form in the mempool. Re-adding such transactions with sibling eviction still active could evict a restored transaction while leaving its in-mempool descendants behind

> The main effect of this inconsistent state is that a miner’s block template creation can no longer succeed: the assembled template fails its validity check, so a node that performed such a reorg cannot produce blocks until it is restarted

🚨SECURITY UPDATE🚨
v1.7.0 is now released
https://t.co/AucW45i0Ck
Please follow the upgrade guidance in the notes.

[Conner Brown @BitcoinConner]

I am increasingly concerned that The Jensen Affair will be used to justify sweeping controls, backdoors, and new surveillance measures on compute.

That outcome is unacceptable. Full stop.

There are many, many ways to prevent China from getting FLOPS that don't require constructing a Compute Panopticon over our own citizens.

[STRIKE @Strike]

Starting today, adding a new auto-withdrawal address or turning off your PIN on Strike takes five days.

Here's why we keep building in this direction:

Bitcoin is final. There's no chargeback, no fraud department, no way to clawback sats that have been sent. That finality is what makes it sound money but it means security has to happen before your bitcoin moves, not after.

Most losses in bitcoin come from rushed moments: a convincing email, an urgent request, a setting changed in a hurry.

So we build security around two ideas:

First, you should always be able to verify it's really us. Every email from Strike carries an anti-phishing code only you know. No code? It's not us.

Second, the moments that matter most should be slow, and everything else should be instant. Strengthening your account happens immediately. Anything that weakens it, like turning off 2FA, turning off your PIN, etc, takes five days, with an option to cancel the whole time. Nobody can skip the delay, including us.

Underneath that sits everything else on your account: passkey and security key login, PIN or Face ID to open the app, 2FA on withdrawals, withdrawal limits you set yourself, and the ability to see and log out of every device from anywhere. If you use an authenticator app, you can now upgrade to a passkey without turning 2FA off first.

One more thing and maybe the most important thing:

You can withdraw your bitcoin to self-custody anytime, for free. A company that makes it hard to leave is demanding your trust. Strike makes leaving free because we spend every day earning your trust.

Take two minutes today: switch to a passkey, set a withdrawal limit, find your anti-phishing code, and check your device list.

Stay safe out there.

[Nate | BIP 54 + 448 @beeforbacon1]

Been job hunting for about two months now and of course staying in the Bitcoin industry would be my number one choice. It seems like that may not happen in a timely way as I do not want to go without income for too long.

Actually getting a lot of interviews lately at companies that aren't Bitcoin related that I would absolutely say yes if an offer managed to cross my desk. It's kinda sad but I should probably accept the last five years were just a brief dream come true and maybe we all find ourselves back in normie land eventually.

Anyway, love you guys.

Omarchy is forever free. There's no monetization scheme coming. I'm already rich and the Omacom Foundation is a well-founded nonprofit.

The only ulterior motive here is to make Linux win on the desktop and create the perfect, malleable computer for all to enjoy!

[Seth Meister⚡️ - Invictus🏴‍☠️ @SethZero1]

Did you know you can run ShieldSigner firmware on your current SeedSigner? Yes - and it's excellent.

ShieldSigner is a well-reviewed, actively maintained fork that is fully based on current SeedSigner firmware. Nothing is removed. Everything you already know and trust is still there...plus a whole layer of powerful extras.

What it adds on top of stock SeedSigner:
• Encrypted SeedQRs (Krux-compatible) - my personal favourite
• SLIP-39 support
• BIP-85 child seed derivation and loading
• Full smartcard suite (SeedKeeper, Satochip, Keycard, etc.)
• Passphrase QR + split passphrase/encryption-key QRs
• On-device microSD flashing & verification tools
• Better entropy checks + optional wipe timer
• Message signing, WIF/BIP38, descriptor storage on card, and more

Best part? You don't even need a Satochip, SeedKeeper, or any smartcard. All the core extras (including encrypted SeedQRs) work on a normal SeedSigner. The cards are completely optional.

And if you ever want to go pure stock?
Just swap the microSD card. Boom, instantly back to original SeedSigner.

This is one of the cleanest "best of both worlds" upgrades in the DIY Bitcoin space right now.

If you have a SeedSigner (or are thinking about building one), give ShieldSigner a proper try.
And if you can code - the project is open source and contributions are very welcome.

Asahi is now a dead hobby project that chose to reject ai contributions.

[SoapMiner @soapminer1]

A brief bitcoin story.

When I first started, I was just making tallow soap as a hobby. I looked around, and found all the different products that people buy on a regular basis that are nothing but poison, and completely given the green light by our government. So I started making my own for my family, and friends.

I started watching hour, after hour of YouTube videos, and was finally able to get it right, after many failures. And there were a lot.

I had never really considered making it a business to start with, just as a hobby that I had really started to enjoy doing. It was fun creating something with my own hands.

I had already been a bitcoiner for a few years, but I had been stuck in the belief of only NGU. I was still, for lack of a better term, a fiat maxi. I was only taking into consideration the amount of wealth I could achieve with owning bitcoin. I hadn’t went down the rabbit hole far enough, and probably still haven’t. We all have much to learn.

As most of us, I watch hours of Bitcoin content each and every day, and for the most part, only interact with bitcoiners on social media. I began to see people accepting bitcoin as payment, as actually using bitcoin as money. Which it was meant to be from the very beginning.

All you have to do, is look at the title of the White Paper.

“Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”

After finally having what I would call an epiphany, I wanted to start earning bitcoin. Not fiat. Bitcoin only.

Since very few employers outside of the bitcoin ecosystem pay in bitcoin, and because I’m quite limited on my understanding of tech, I had to come up with an idea to start earning bitcoin on my own.

Eventually, the light bulb in my head turned on, and I started as Soapminer on Nostr. And only accepted bitcoin.

At first, it was nothing more than a side hustle. I would get a few customers a week, nothing that would sustain a small business full time. However, that would change quickly.

I found that people actually loved the quality of the soap we produce. It was, to my ecstatic joy, a great success. Everyone spread the message of how much they liked our soap, and how it made them feel better than the slop they got off the shelf at the grocery store. I began to gain more, and more customers. To the point, that I had to start my own site to keep track of everything in a more centralized way. https://t.co/lEJPvVptYO was born.

I also found that bitcoiners are the most loyal customers a business can have. If you provide a quality product, develop a solid reputation, and have a good moral character, they will keep coming back to you for your products. You will create a retention rate unheard of in the fiat world. I am truly appreciative of this, and to all that are my patrons.

Soapminer is now a full fledged small business, and I now work full time on it. It keeps growing, and the bitcoin ecosystem keeps growing. More, and more businesses are now accepting bitcoin, and one day, they will require it in order to do business.

You see, while Soapminer was started to provide handmade tallow soap, keep people from using poisonous chemicals to bathe in, and earn more bitcoin. It also has another mission.

To help move the Overton Window.

It is my contention, that when you normalize using bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange, it gains more, and more adoption, thereby increasing it’s value, thereby increasing it’s adoption. Until it has mass adoption.

I am still quite small, and probably won’t be the catalyst that moves the Overton Window, but I’m going to do my small part to assist move the bitcoin ecosystem forward, to make bitcoin a Medium of Exchange, and make the world a better place.

Because of we can fix the money, we can fix the world.
