INSIGHT: A Bitcoin developer wants to hard fork $BTC in August and reassign Satoshi Nakamoto's coins on the new chain to fund the project.

The community's verdict: theft.

🔥 NEW: Elon Musk's X Money banking tool is set to launch publicly this month, per Bloomberg.

Early testers have reportedly enjoyed perks like 3% cash back and 6% interest on savings.

The ElastOS Runtime: a personal computer that software can’t betray

This week we released and open-sourced the ElastOS Runtime system (in comments below). This is a huge development in operating system design, specifically, how an OS enforces trust between users and the software they run.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The ElastOS Runtime is a Rust-based execution engine that turns user-owned hardware into a sovereign computing environment, one where every application, AI agent, and service runs inside a cryptographically sealed sandbox with zero permissions by default. Built by Elacity under the World Computer Initiative (WCI), it represents the core technical substrate of PC2 (Personal Cloud Compute): a local-first operating system where your data, your apps, and your identity belong to you, not to a platform.

The runtime reached a pivotal milestone in March 2026 when a working peer-to-peer chat system was demonstrated running entirely from isolated capsules on the new capability-secured architecture.

This is not a prototype. It is the bridge between ElastOS V1 (a working personal cloud product with 578,000+ lines of production code) and V2 (where every app is cryptographically sandboxed). The WCI Exec Room, a browser-facing WASM capsule for live collaboration, serves as the first real proof that useful, daily-use software can run under this trust model.

Why any of this matters in three sentences

Today’s internet forces a bad trade: to use software, you surrender control of your data, identity, and compute to someone else’s server. The ElastOS Runtime eliminates that trade. It lets applications run on hardware you own, under rules you set, verified by cryptography rather than corporate promises, and it does this without asking users to become system administrators.

The WCI Exec Room proves this isn’t theoretical. A live collaboration room where browser guests are paired through approve/deny controls, where room state lives on the host’s machine, not a corporate server, where roles are DID-based, and where the browser is a window, not a warden.

Five isolated capsules, zero default permissions, one working chat system. The runtime doesn’t just run applications. It answers a question that’s haunted computing for decades: can software be powerful without being trusted? Yes.
