@_prestwich It wasn't really a proper engineering endeavour, it was a shlockchain prototype that didn't have appropriate funding or timelines for overengineering

The IRS just created a new crypto audit form designed to make you incriminate yourself.

They're sending a new "Historical Digital Asset Form" that lists 100+ exchanges and self-custody wallets: Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, FTX, Mt. Gox, MetaMask, Ledger, Trezor, and demands you check YES or NO for every single one. Then sign it under penalty of perjury.

This isn't a tax form. It's a mapping exercise. They don't just want to know what you traded last year. They want a complete picture of everywhere your crypto has ever touched going back years.

The catch: there's no right way to fill it out.

Forget a platform you used once in 2017? That's perjury. Disclose everything? You just gave them a roadmap for new lines of inquiry. Don't respond? They'll issue a summons.

This is coming alongside Form 1099-DA, which means exchanges are now reporting directly to the IRS. They're cross-referencing what they already know with what you tell them, and looking for gaps.

If you get this form, do not fill it out without a tax attorney. This is exactly the kind of overreach that pushes people toward self-custody and privacy-preserving tools like Bitcoin. The government doesn't send forms like this to help you. They send them to build a case.

DOJ has decided it will retry Roman Storm in the fall. Despite failing to convince a jury the first time around, despite making obvious mistakes like calling irrelevant witnesses and not understanding the forensic analysis of their own blockchain evidence, and despite multiple legal and logical fallacies to their allegations of third party dev liability, the SDNY will retry Roman Storm on counts 1 and 3 of the indictment.

Incredibly disappointing news.

@RazorwireRPG It was absolutely unplayable though

Because it is ontologically anti-haptic. There is no *feeling* to it. For all the speed, flash, and facial expressions on a fiery background, it still feels like a glorified Bugs Bunny chase—two cartoon characters battling for a comically long time.

Go shovel a driveway of snow and tell me how it feels to swing weight around with your arms for an extended period of time. Now shovel that snow like its revenge for an avalanche that killed your family. Just imagining what that physically feels like, that's haptic. I managed to give you a quasi-physical sensation from just a few words.

This 45-minute razzle dazzle fails to convey that haptic feeling at all. Compare with the Empire or Jedi lightsaber duels, where Luke or Vader just feels physically beaten. When Luke singes Vader's arm in Empire, you can feel Vader's loss of patience and surge of skill as he suddenly disarms Luke and cuts off his hand. Or when Luke loses his temper in Jedi, and just starts wailing on Vader with no direction or thought, just animalistic rage.

None of this is conveyed by two men with seemingly infinite stamina swinging apparently weightless weapons around just for it to end because Obi-Wan climbed a four foot hill.

@Zun2025 Posting any part of a seed phrase, including when you can infer words from a screenshot by their partial lettering, is absolutely awful

@owocki The conference is more about vibes, the vendors don't take crypto
