Anonymous cash for Bitcoin Lightning at nearly all Polish ATMs.
And that’s not all—you can pay with Bitcoin Lightning literally everywhere in Poland!
No KYC, no registration, via the Nostr provider.
I love it when I come across new technology that gives (European) bureaucrats the middle finger, especially in a situation where they want to spy on and regulate you across the board.
Most recently, I was this excited about a non-KYC project for exchanging stablecoins for fiat via https://t.co/5Bdka5KM6w, which bypasses the dystopian centralized exchanges that have to do massive reporting due to EU regulations like DAC-8 and MiCA.
In the case of BITBLIK, just like with https://t.co/eOBJxn7Yu6, you’re doing decentralized P2P trading, so I assume no regulation applies to you (it doesn’t go through any intermediary).
Today I came across a great Polish app called BITBLIK https://t.co/nUSKPCNERY, which connects the widely available BLIK system in Poland with Bitcoin Lightning.
With Bitcoin Lightning, you can pay anonymously anywhere in Poland, withdraw cash anonymously from an ATM (which I just did!), or make online payments on Polish websites.
BLIK is widely accepted (it’s supported by a network of over 13,000 ATMs across Poland and hundreds of thousands of merchants; according to AI, there are 87,000 of them).
Install the https://t.co/nUSKPCNERY app, launch it—no registration required, no KYC—enter an offer for how much you want to pay in PLN or how much you want to withdraw from an ATM.
You’ll make a Bitcoin Lightning payment, which will be locked.
Wait a minute or two until someone accepts your offer (the other party who has BLIK and wants Bitcoin Lightning).
As soon as they do, a BLIK code will appear.
It’s valid for about two minutes, so enter it at an ATM or at a terminal in a store or restaurant.
After a successful payment, you confirm that you used the BLIK code, and the Lightning payment is credited to the recipient.
Limits for BLIK payments vary by Polish ATM. ING Bank Śląski has the highest limit: 10,000 PLN per day (2,356 EUR), while mBank has a limit of 5,000 PLN per day (1,178 EUR). PKO BP allows BLIK transactions up to 1,500 PLN, but you can make up to 20,000 PLN (4,722 EUR) worth of transactions per day.
And of course, those limits apply to the merchant. When various merchants accept your Lightning payments, you effectively have no limits—you’re only limited by the counterparty’s liquidity.
BLIK is 100% open-source, so it can’t be banned!
You can fork it and use it within your own closed community.
Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching
This article is literally wow.
i read it 2 years ago, and coming back to it today, it still feels new.
few tutorials teach computers in a way that permanently changes how you think. this is one of them.
If you've never built a VM before, you're missing one of the biggest "aha" moments in computer science.
❗️🚨 An Israeli company has backdoored hundreds of millions of households through countless Smart TV apps, and they're quietly turning Samsung and LG TVs into exit nodes for AI web-scraping. Your TV is relaying strangers' web traffic from your home IP, your bandwidth, your address attached to whatever those scraping jobs touch.
Roku, Fire TV and Google TV banned the practice. Samsung and LG didn't. The culprit is Bright Data's proxy SDK, which rides inside Tizen and webOS apps, 200+ on webOS alone. Datacenter IPs get blocked, home IPs don't.
Include Security reverse-engineered the SDK and found its relay protocol has no message signing, authentication, or device attestation. Their words: less secure than typical malware command-and-control.
To make things worse, they found that in iOS the relay tunnel binds straight to the physical network interface, so it routes around any VPN the user is running.
Bright Data's config also ships per-country tiers. Devices in Uzbekistan and Oman are cleared to relay down to 1% battery, with data caps up to 60x the worldwide default.
Before the BaCkDoOrEd replies land: technically you agreed. In practice you were enrolled into a global proxy network you were never given the information to refuse. And these exit nodes drag down your IP's reputation, potentially leaving you with blocks from providers.
I have no fiat, I've been balls deep in $XMR for over a year now
If a merchant didnt accept it in 2025, I would just buy a visa giftcard on cake wallet and add it to my apple pay
When I got banned by their provider, @Goblin_cards ended up reaching out and telling me about their service
Safe to say I've been using them since Jan of 2026 and anytime I need anything I just send it to the telegram bot and then within 5 minutes I can buy whatever
End goal is to of course scan QR codes everywhere and pay a merchant with XMR directly. I am still able to survive on XMR until then
I don't need a bank account nor do I want one
I’ve transferred nearly a million dollars from my primary wallet to a new one.
Since the crypto market is experiencing a downturn, I’m considering liquidating the remaining $1.2M in Solana to USD however, I want to do this completely anonymously to ensure that the banks, & the government, are unaware of the exact amount I possess.
Could someone please provide me with some advice on how to achieve this? Is it even possible? What should I do? Should I buy gold or luxury watches?
Please help me.

I am ripping some old dvds so that I can make a home jellyfin server and not lose them as the dvds naturally degrade
this is what's playing in my head lmao
EVERYTIME someone suggests this argue for 30 min and it boils down to "if I get de-anon on tor, they have my ip" OOOOOHHHH, so your that level of retard who commits crimes from your own line?
If your doing this, you're dumb.
Get a Yagi and use someone else's wifi, or drive 5 min down the road. Unless you inspected the VPNs fucking servers you know fuck all.
You're blindly trusting them, that's the OPPOSITE of opsec.
@frostb1ten@hackerfantastic I think they’re too big a company to fail because of a vulnerability.
It’d have to cause WannaCry 2.0 for them to do anything about it. And that’s after the fact.
‼️🚨 BREAKING: Meta's AI feature let attackers hijack Instagram accounts for days with nothing but a username. It was being A/B tested on a slice of users, and if you were in the test, you couldn't turn it off. Among the casualties: the official Obama White House account.
The method: get on a VPN near the target's region, ask the Meta AI support agent to send a verification code to any email you control, relay that code back to the agent, and it hands over a password reset link. Without ID or human review. From there, the account is yours.
The flaw lived in the AI's logic layer, which acted on recovery requests with no real identity checks. One researcher compared it to the Roblox AI assistant exploit from days earlier, where you needed a target's billing info. Instagram was easier: the username and a regional VPN were enough and victims reported sessions revoked and passwords changed with no email, text, or push alert at all.
By the time it went public, the method was common knowledge in blackhat Telegram circles and had been used to allegedly hijack 100+ high-value accounts.
Accounts hit:
- obamawhitehouse (the archived official Obama White House account, ~2.4M followers. Hackers posted an AI-generated image captioned "The White House is under Shiites' control," plus cryptic anti-Trump and pro-Iranian Stories. Meta confirmed the hack and scrubbed it.
- Premium short handles like hey and jowo, worth over $1M combined, stolen and flipped on Telegram.
- albert (owned by Albert Renshaw), whose owner publicly reported being locked out and unable to reach Meta support.
Meta has since patched it. There was no public acknowledgment.
