PSA: I now consider *all* of DeFi unsafe.

Coding agents are superhuman at finding vulnerabilities, and smart contract security is too asymmetric: defenders need to fix every bug while attackers need just one exploit to steal funds.

[Manuel Aráoz @maraoz]

I've been privately advising friends and family to exit all DeFi positions including low-risk "blue chips" like Aave, MakerDAO & Compound.

Ocean is now a top 8 mining pool

- more miners are discovering how to make their own block templates
- and that Ocean pays out more than other pools, since it has lower admin fees
- plus they offer LN payouts
- and, for large miners, coinbase payouts

The Libertarian Party has elected a new chair, @badevan.

He has been convicted of armed robbery, publishes gay torture porn, and was a Covid panican.

The good news is the Libertarian Party under his leadership should be unable to take any votes from Republicans.

Martti Malmi, one of Bitcoin's earliest developers, just released a new version of Nostr VPN, an open-source mesh VPN that replaces the entire trust model of traditional VPN services.

Traditional VPNs route all your traffic through a central server operated by a company you have to trust. They see your data. They require your email. They can log your activity. They can be subpoenaed, hacked, or shut down. Even modern mesh VPNs like Tailscale, which improved on this by sending data peer-to-peer, still require you to authenticate through a centralized coordination server using third-party accounts like Google or Microsoft.

Nostr VPN eliminates the central server entirely. Your identity is a Nostr keypair, a self-generated cryptographic key pair with no registration, no email, no third-party account. The underlying transport layer is FIPS (Free Internetworking Peering System), a self-organizing encrypted mesh network where nodes authenticate each other, route traffic for each other, and establish connections without any central authority or global topology knowledge. Each node's Nostr public key (npub) serves as its network address.

The architecture uses two layers of encryption: hop-by-hop encryption between peers and independent end-to-end encryption between mesh endpoints with periodic rekeying for forward secrecy. When direct connections fail due to NAT issues, the system falls back to Nostr-based multihop routing through other FIPS nodes rather than relying on company-operated relay servers. Peer discovery and NAT traversal happen through public Nostr relays using encrypted gift-wrapped messages.

The new release adds native desktop apps for macOS, Linux, and Windows, an Android app, Nostr-based multihop routing for when NAT holepunching fails, and improved network management. It supports UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, and Bluetooth transports simultaneously on a single mesh.

This is what happens when you apply Bitcoin's design philosophy, permissionless, self-sovereign, no trusted third parties, to networking infrastructure. Built by one of the people who helped Satoshi build Bitcoin in 2009.

Did Iran just drop an AI LEGO-style music video promoting the use of Bitcoin to pay the toll through the Strait of Hormuz?

[KenyaCoin @KenyaCoin]

No registration (by either the sender or the recipient).

Sender needs only the recipient's Safaricom mobile number with m-Pesa enabled. Sender pays in bitcoin. Seconds later recipient sees the KSh m-Pesa payment arrive.
