🚨 BREAKING: 16 BILLION PASSWORDS LEAKED: APPLE, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK USERS EXPOSED

What’s being called the largest password leak in history has just been confirmed: 16 billion login credentials, many from major platforms like Apple, Google, Facebook, GitHub, and more, are now exposed and circulating.

Researchers say the leak comes from 30 separate datasets, most of it new, not recycled.

And it’s not just usernames and passwords... URLs, emails, and full login sequences are included.

This isn’t just a breach. It’s a blueprint for mass phishing, account takeovers, and digital identity theft at global scale.

“This is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale,” said researchers.
And it’s live now.

Act fast. Stay ahead. Or get locked out.

I don’t normally speculate on short-term #Bitcoin price action — but some friends of mine have provided some fascinating perspectives that I want to share.🧵 👇

Bitcoin is up 25% from its April 9th low and there’s a handful of indicators that show a major bull market around the corner. Starting with the Average Miner Cost of Production.

In a rational economy, assets rarely trade below their cost of production. Now, what it costs to “mine” a Bitcoin is different for every miner – machine type, electricity cost, and uptime all play a role — but the analysts @blockware have aggregated data to create a metric called the “industry average”.

This metric has timed each of the past 6 Bitcoin bottoms:

September 2024
November 2022
September 2020
March 2020
December 2018
April 2016

This metric is signaling a bottom right now.

Bitdeer Sealminer A2 (Air-cooled) review🧵

Announced in Nov 2024, the first Bitdeer Sealminer A2 retail units were released last week.

At 16.5 J/T efficiency, Bitdeer is the first major competitor to Bitmain's bitcoin mining dominance in a long time.

Can Sealminer deliver the promised performance?

Let's take a closer look 🔍👀

[Altair Technology® ⛏️ @altair_tech]

Conclusion
Sealminer A2 delivers on key metrics in real-world performance. It offers a viable alternative to Antminer S21 Pro and S21+, at a slightly lower price. Smaller size, lower weight, and noise levels are a bonus.

In the current Bitcoin mining landscape with proxy lools like AntPool & friends, 6 mining pools produce and mine more than 95% of the block templates.
Bitcoin mining is highly centralized today.

8 years ago I explained Bitcoin's security model and spent a lot of time clarifying the purpose of hard coded block checkpoints.

At long last, the next release of Bitcoin Core will completely remove them.

someone accidentally paid a fee of 8.18 BTC 😬

the transaction appears to be an (attempted) thorchain swap of ETH for USDT.

I believe they intended to pay only 2416 sats for this transaction, but inadvertently consolidated another 7 inputs without updating the change output 😭

If pasta, bread, and red meat are so bad, why do Europeans live to 100+ and stay healthy?

But when Americans consume these?

They get chronically sick.

After some research…

I found the disturbing truth that explains exactly what's going on: 🧵

Travel around, get outside of your bubble, and remind yourself that even though almost everyone has heard about it, practically nobody cares about Bitcoin.

It's still early; roll up your sleeves and get to work. Success is far from guaranteed.

Something very dangerous is happening. This is slightly technical but the following is a very important thing for everyone that cares about Bitcoin to understand. I’ll keep it as simple as possible.

Most mining pools use a payout method called FPPS. Hashers connected to that pool get paid with every block - whether that pool won the block or not. The calculation is based on a formula the looks back at the average block reward (subsidy plus fees) for several blocks. The attached formula describes the FPPS method in detail (thanks for the graphic Luxor).

MARA is mining blocks in which they take fees that are not disclosed and they therefore cannot be part of the FPPS payout calculation. As a result they deny all of the folks in FPPS pools (95%+ of the world’s hash rate) their proper reward for their efforts. They also deny all Bitcoin users the information the market needs to properly price block space. Bad shit here folks.

This harms all miners, all Bitcoin users, and the overall health of the entire ecosystem. Transparency is a fundamental characteristic of Bitcoin, MARA and those using this service are behaving outside of the ethos of Bitcoin. Act accordingly.

We're not really taught the skill of writing an engaging paper. Listen to this episode, if you're curious about how a master does it. Sean Carroll talks about how the narrative builds throughout the project as we're connecting the dots in our experiments!

@altini_marco So interesting. Curious to find out how this data extends out during the night of rest post race from all the vibrations and adrenaline . Nowhere close to F1 but to experience something similar, one can try Go Karting during summer in Dubai professional track with equal vibration

[Edwan ⚡️ @Edpicwan]

@altini_marco love the last sentence. Agree on the context that this is the least of the worry. Live Life 🎉
