Every other post is about the bug in cold card code. Planted to steal ppl's lives (imo from what I see) yet we have 2 guys in jail for writing code that helped ppl gain financial freedom. Let's get things straightened out!

Too bad 99% of bitcoin mining firmware is closed source, so the Bitcoin Red Team can't investigate it for backdoors.

End US involvement in both wars, NOW.

[Hardfork Mechanic @GrassFedBitcoin]

Facts to get comfortable with for the next month:

1. Is BIP-110 going to have a positive effect at reducing *institutionalized* usage of Bitcoin as a data storage platform?

Yes

2. Is that the reason many people support it?

Yes

3. Is that the primary motivation for BIP-110?

No

4. What is the primary motivation?

Disabling methods of data storage specifically opened or cited as "already possible" with Core v30

5. Can spammers find ways to spam Bitcoin that BIP-110 does nothing about?

Yes

6. Is spam better fought at the policy level with sensible defaults in the reference implementation of Bitcoin?

Yes

7. Are consensus changes like BIP-110 ever going to be a good substitute for that?

No

8. Can we ever stop spam completely?

No

9. Can we ever give up trying to reduce it?

No

If your boss cut your pay 7% every year, you’d quit on the spot. But when the central bank cuts your savings 7% every year, you call it normal and thank the bank for holding your money. Same robbery. Better marketing.

The Trump led Israeli op to oust Massie has radicalized me against the GOP.

Boebert, MTG and Massie are 3 of like 10 decent people in D.C. and they want them all gone.

The signal is clear. It is a political death sentence if you oppose the MIC and support the constitution.

Moreover it is a signal to you, Americans. You are not allowed to have representation. Your rights are secondary to the demands of a foreign country.

If anyone tries to prioritize you the machine kicks into high gear to remind you just how little you matter. How powerless you are.

25 million. No one has ever spent this much money in a congressional primary. His crime? Opposing Israel's wars. Demanding justice for the (Epstein) Israeli intel op. Vocally opposing (AIPAC, RJC) Israel's influence in congress.

This is not just about Massie. It is a message, a warning, to anyone in congress that wants to do the right thing.

Which is exactly why he MUST win.

If he can defeat the machine we still have a chance. If he can't, no one does.

Everyone in congress knows what I'm saying is true. They are all watching this race to find out exactly how impenetrably bought off our system truly is.

Can nationwide grassroots support save the best congressman since Ron Paul. Or are we truly occupied. Can a couple zionist billionaires defeat tens of thousands of small donations from average Americans. Can the under 50 voters stave off the deluge of votes from the mind raped Fox News boomers.

That's what is on the ballot.

We find out in about 24 hours.

We have beef with how inflation is calculated.

Just over one week away from Telehash #4!

You can support FOSS mining with hashrate on https://t.co/ISg2J3Qmvg

And now, thanks to @D_plus__plus and @jungly, we're tracking total hashes contributed - aka the "loyalty leaderboard"!

[256 Foundation @256FOUNDATION]

Gimmick aside - the DOOMAXE represents the power of an open-source mining stack.

Any feature you want, barrier to overcome, or performance improvement, is now just a PR away.

Join the 256F team for TELEHASH4 on May 19 in Austin TX to learn more!

Today Republicans and Democrats tried to use “unanimous consent” to pass a 45-day extension of warrantless spying on Americans without voting.

I did not consent.

I was able to force a vote and a debate. I used a rare parliamentary procedure to control half the time. Watch here:

Why do I not trust secure elements?

I once saw, first hand, a device that could instantly read the data inside any secure element we could get our hands on.

It may sound unbelievable, but I saw it with my own eyes. This device exists.

It is not in the open market (obviously).

Surprisingly, it wasn't a black market tool either. This was a device used for testing. The manufacturers know about it. They are the ones that provided the keys.

No, I don't personally have access to it, and I truthfully don't know where to find it. The only person I knew that knew where to get it has long since retired. It is a closely guarded secret. But one day, it was on my desk.

If you are using a secure element as part of your bitcoin storage, I would encourage you to include a stateless or blind oracle device as part of a minimum quorum so you aren't able to sign a transaction with a secure element wallet alone.

A recommended 2-of-3 multisig setup might look like this:

SE wallet = ColdCard
Stateless = Seed Signer
Blind oracle = Jade

That way there is no single point of failure.

Btw, there are only a very few (maybe 2 total) companies that make these secure elements. Most of them come from the same manufacturer.

Secure elements are definitely a requirement in today's world, and I'm not saying they are worthless. Just want you all to know that there are still vulnerabilities with them.

228 TH/s of hashrate heated floors - delivered by a single miner to an entire residential home! Bad ass!

Heatpunk gadgets (space heaters) are known and loved.

But heating appliances aren't as simple. Integration comes with hurdles.

Eng drawings, inspections, BMS control, service, repair...

Architects and Home Builders had a lot to say about buildings that heat with hashrate!

@0x0B17C019 @KrisAltairtech The Bitaxe Touch is super sick. Love that touchscreen. It's like a (much) better version of the BlockClock Mini or the Braiins BMM101. (And the @SoloSatoshi guys are awesome.)
