@willywoo In step 6 you meant that your PUBLIC key is revealed for a short time, not the private. Deriving the private from the public should not be trivial even for a BSQC (-:
In 2021, the Taliban conquered Afghanistan.
Within weeks, women were banned from schools, offices, and even parks.
1.1M lost their jobs overnight.
But one woman armed thousands with a single tool the Taliban never saw coming🧵
@kadmoni עודד סלומי (מפרויקט שק״ד) הסביר שהמניע לפרויקט הוא ״הכנה בלבד לקראת היום בו אירופה וארה״ב ישיקו CBDC״. מה הקשר? גם ככה לא תהיה תאימות בינהם, ולא ברידג׳ים. אח״כ בא ההסבר למפגרים - ארנקי ילדים. ממש זה מה שדחוף כרגע. זה פרויקט שאסור לו לקום
🧵🇮🇱 Israel's Central Bank is Launching the "Digital Shekel Challenge"
A technological challenge for private sector financial organizations, developers & startups to implement real life use cases for Israel's #CBDC.
Let's break it down >>
I'll be presenting this, and many more insights into CBDC on my keynote at @BTCPrague next week.
@efenigson Disaster in the making. The red flag here is what they don't tell us - why is it needed in the first place. The family BS is clearly a distraction. As a bitcoin community and as a worried citizen we have to fight against it, it's like a nuclear power in the wrong hands.
@saifedean As I respect you as a writer and a speaker, I believe you are open minded to listen to the other side. I invite you to meet me in Tel-Aviv, we can tour around the country and discuss. I am sure you will learn new things.
When I listened to this episode of Joe Rogan with Andreas Antonopolous in 2016 it made sense because I was new to #Bitcoin
But now in 2024 we all can see that Andreas was 100% right. This is exactly what's happening in our society right now.
This is the video that Hamas doesn't want the world to see. They asked it to be deleted. Gaza people evacuating safely while the Israeli army is guarding them from Hamas. Spread it, for everyone to see. Israel is protecting Gaza civilians
1. שקדי יש רק אחד.
2. שקדי האלוף במיל' יש רק אחד.
3. שקדי האדם יש רק אחד.
4. תקשיבו לדברים שאמר בכנס של החברים של רון ארד להחזרת החטופים הביתה.
5. האיש ברח מפוליטיקה.
6. כעת לא תהיה לו ברירה, ובבחירות הבאות יצטרך להצטרף לאחת המפלגות, להיבחר לכנסת ישראל, ואז לממשלת ישראל. עם אנשי�� כמוהו ישראל תהיה כפי שהיא צריכה להיות, ארץ זבת חלב ודבש, ארץ של שלום.
Can crypto-twitter OSINT outperform the WSJ’s chain analysis?
** Announcing $500 in BTC bounty for the 21 best open source analyses of the facts surrounding the WSJ/Warren letter. Rules and submission link below **
On October 10, following the attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians, Angus Berwick and Ian Talley of the WSJ published the article “Hamas Militants Behind Israel Attack Raised Millions in Crypto”. The WSJ followed up with “Why Hamas Uses Crypto to Raise Money” and then published an op-ed from Sen. Elizabeth Warren entitled “Cryptocurrency Feeds Hamas’s Terrorism”. Sen. Warren then wrote a letter to the White House and Treasury signed by over 100 members of Congress, reliant entirely on the WSJ claim that Hamas and affiliates had raised “over $130m in crypto” to fund their operations since 2021. Warren is now leading a campaign to aggressively marginalize the crypto industry in the US based on her provocative claim. Yet – subsequent evidence thrown cast her entire empirical basis into question. The WSJ has thus far refused to update or retract their story.
Since the WSJ article, both Chainalysis and Elliptic have cast the reporting into doubt.
Starting with the resources listed in the google form, and any other information you can gather, replicate the work done by Elliptic and BitOK, and critically evaluate either the WSJ reporting or the Warren letter. Use chain analysis tools and conventional reporting techniques. Focus on knowable ground truths. Your reporting can focus on debunking a specific detail of the story, creating an independent, more fact-based account of the events, creating a data visualization, or simply creating a meme or graphic depicting the events or the WSJs reporting.
Can Bitcoin Twitter come up with a better tally than Talley?
In one week from today (i.e., on Thursday, 11/02/23), 21 of the best, qualifying submissions will each receive $500 in Bitcoin.

🚨🚨🚨A man who grew up as a member of Hamas TORCHES Hamas.
"You kidnap students. You torture your political rivals. The suffering of Palestinians is the outcome of your selfish political interests. If Israel didn't exist, you'd have no one to blame!"
Wow!
I try not to raise my voice during interviews, but I felt the line of questioning by @CBCNews here was totally off. We are trying to do the right thing by calling on civilians to evacuate, yet get lectured on humanity.
