if you just want a blanket lift and shit, this should work for you. make sure you have the github-cli installed and authenticated. https://cli.github.com/

```
for issue_num in $(gh --repo damus-io/android issue list --jq '.[].number' --json 'number' --limit 150); do gh --repo damus-io/android issue transfer $issue_num damus-io/notedeck; done
```

i ran it on my machine and it seemed to run fine. however, i obviously don't have the right permissions to do so.


if you're asking me to write that for you, i can do that. wouldn't take too long. just a basic for loop in a bash script.

UPDATE: Someone has shared a newer version of the iOS table indicating Cellebrite caught up to iOS 17.5.1 or higher along with the iPhone 15 for the OS exploits.

It's common for them to fall behind by a few months for new iOS and Android versions. Android and iOS have no secure way to automatically get devices back into Before First Unlock from After First Unlock as GrapheneOS does so attackers can simply wait until they have an exploit.

We're currently waiting for one of our several sources to provide us with the new Android and iOS documentation. We aren't going to post the leaked iOS table in this thread because we can't confirm that it's authentic yet. We should have the new documentation quite soon though.

It's unfortunate that there was a whole bunch of secondary news coverage where it was misreported that Cellebrite was unable to exploit current iOS based on documentation from April 2024. It's July 2024 now, and they've had months to restore the capabilities broken by an update.

I find it interesting that people are chattering quite a bit regarding Lynn and Jack's talk at the Oslo Freedom Forum about free will and control of the algorithm while there are multiple moments in the broader forum where presenters are actively framing their arguments in a way that commits similar offenses of control, bias and steering of opinions.

For example, there is a segment featuring Georges Azzi pushing an "LGBTQIA+" agenda. It's should be no surprise to anyone that many purveyors of this agenda have notoriously attempted to use tactics such as controlling the speech of others, including compelled speech, and compelled exposure to controversial ideas even on children. For example the idea that men can be women and women can be men is being forced on children in public schools in the US.

Two other pieces leading into Lynn and Jack's talk frame the Ukrainian-Russian conflict as one of Russian aggression and  usurpation, ignoring the larger backdrop of US and NATO provocation and expansion right up to Russia's Western borders and their refusal to allow Ukraine to engage in diplomacy, which has caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives. This conflict, the provocations leading up to it, and the obviously controlled media narratives about it, when objectively analyzed, paint a picture of Western aggesssion, propaganda and censorship which are in stark contrast to the ideas that follow in Lynn and Jack's talk.

To provide a tangible example of my suppositions in the previous paragraph, please watch the following video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSZyKYitC3M

I ask you to consider if the entire situation surrounding the conflict passes the "change the names" test. Imagine Putin had ever suggested that "There will be no longer a Keystone pipeline. We will bring and end to it." what the reaction would have been. Or if the US had "defensive" missile systems steadily approaching its borders if diplomacy would have been attempted repeatedly only the be thwarted by powerful outside influences and how that would have been characterized.

The broader point I'm trying to make is that if the goal is free will and free speech then discussions of such would be more effective if not interspersed or bookended with obvious subjective bias or propaganda that commits similar bias or steering, in this case human driven. The framing should be as objective and truthful as possible. Unfortunately that was clearly not the case here.

Great words and ideas but presented within an ironic backdrop.


can't decide what's better for the mental health: fight back or just back out.


Wow just figured out Bitmain's latest fuckery in real time.

I'll give you the back story...

Once upon a time Bitmain was grinding merkle roots instead of nonces aka "covert ASICBOOST".

This gave them an advantage over other miners who didn't know this was possible. One company went out of business - KNC - citing "the Chinese having some secret advantage we don't know about" - which turned out to be true precisely for this reason.

It's one of the reasons ASIC manufacture is so centralized today and this is correctly identified by many as being one of the most vulnerable aspects of the entire bitcoin ecosystem.

The ASICBOOST issue came to a head when Bitmain used their influence to block the activation of SEGWIT (essential for Lightning) because it would break their ability to do it - at least covertly. Well, they would still be able to use asicboost, but just in an obvious way that would mean everyone else could do it too. They had patented it so as to try and prevent this because that's the kind of people we're dealing with here but I digress...

When asicboost was independently discovered by Greg Maxwell Bitmain lied and said they weren't in fact using it.

This was after years of bullshitting about segwit, with Bitmain pretending to be in favour of "alternative scaling solutions" or even doing segwit as a hard fork instead which would allow them to continue what they were doing.....

Absolutely nobody believed them thanks to GMax having reverse engineered one of their ASICs and demonstrating what they had built and tried to keep to themselves.

This was a watershed moment in the fork wars where everyone suddenly understood why Bitmain had been making nonsensical arguments against segwit forever. Wanting big/small blocks wasn't a related discussion. Segwit fixed TX malleability and was a no-brainer upgrade and in the end was combined with a block size increase anyway as a compromise.

So we proceeded with segwit anyway, at which point Bitmain switched to overt asicboost which is actually even more powerful, it just requires grinding version bits instead of merkle roots but it's obvious if a miner is doing this.

Now everybody does it so essentially the net effect of it being possible is zero, except your node asking you wtf miners are doing signalling for upgrades your node knows nothing about (upgrade coordination is what version bits are actually supposed to be used for).

Oh well, relatively little harm done. If you're happy to ignore the obvious dishonesty and effort to undermine what's arguably Bitcoin's most important ever upgrade.

Fun extra tidbit: Antbleed - an intentional backdoor with which Bitmain could remotely shutdown any Antminer in the world. They said it was for shutting down stolen ASICs but immediately patched it once it was discovered.

Anyway, this company now accounts for 25-30% of all blocks found, if you naively observe the blockchain.

That's not enough to spook anyone, but unfortunately many smaller pools are in fact just fronts for Bitmain which we know for three reasons:

1. The smaller pools are clearly using blocks constructed by, or for the benefit of, Antpool.

2. They share the same custodian of their newly mined coins (Cobo).

3. They have a lending program to bail out smaller pools who get in over their head due to FPPS.

And the trend is sadly in the wrong direction, given Braiins recently abandoning its old payout model and becoming just a simple proxy for Bitmain as result of switching to FPPS.

[Massive shoutout to @mononautical and @0xB10C for helping uncover how centralized pools have become. Those are their Tweeter handles, idk if they're on Nostr.]

Summary - Bitmain is not just Antpool, it probably accounts for >50% of block templates and manufactures >90% of the mining hardware in the world.

So where am I going with all this?

Amazingly, it's about empty blocks.

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, famously OCEAN has found 3 empty blocks in its short existence, causing many to wrongly make allegations of some sort of issue with the pool itself.

This spurred on endless debate about why pools make empty templates in the first place and the actual reason so many of them get solved.

In short, pools send empty templates then immediately follow up with full templates. So quickly, that the interim period accounts for a tiny minority of the empty blocks that get found on the network, and none of ours.

In all three cases with OCEAN, the miner solved the empty block long after already having a full template to work on -

   - leaving the pool in a position to either throw away a perfectly good (but empty) block or to broadcast it to the network and get miners >90% of the reward of a full block. Obviously the latter makes sense and does zero harm to the network while still adding to the overall PoW necessary for any attacker.

So why would an empty block happen a few seconds after the pool had already sent an updated job for a full block?

Because Antminers suck.

*What we didn't realize was that they intentionally sucked.*

You can send an updated job to an Antminer and watch it continue to work on an old job for over 60 seconds in edge cases.

This was something we assumed was due to design of the ASIC itself, and thus just poor engineering on the part of Bitmain.

But it turns out we were wrong, it's due to Antminer firmware.

We know this because they just released a fix for it.

So Bitmain watched, while people kept mining empty blocks, everyone would wrongly attribute it to pools, while explainers on popular websites like mempool(.)space would offer wrong explanations about it happening due to pools being slow to send proper templates and seemingly no one would understand even the motivation for sending empty templates, let alone the reason they get worked on for so long.

But the fix being something that gets released right after OCEAN starts explaining what's really going on here is beyond reasonable doubt.

They had a fix for it, and have been using that fix for their own mining.

Now they can't get away with it because increasingly people are realizing that Whatsminers and ASICs from other manufacturers aren't finding anything like the amount of empty blocks because they switch jobs far more quickly.

An Antminer has a far greater likelihood of finding an empty block because it spends longer working on old jobs.

We've been out here yelling that the issue is with the ASIC *NOT* the pool.

The fact that Bitmain intentionally crippled the firmware on the Antminers they would sell to the world, while keeping more functional units for their own mining is typical of everything Bitmain.

Sure it can be incompetence and coincidental timing on the fix, but I sincerely doubt it.

The conversation around empty blocks reached the point where people were beginning to realize something was broken with Antminers and then they just happen to release a fix for it right after people finally start catching wind of what's really going on.

__________________

So imagine this -

You sell shovels to gold miners, and as we all know, the people who make money during a gold rush are the people who sell the shovels.

But in this case the shovel seller is digging for gold himself too.

And he has intentionally sold crappy shovels to all of his customers so as give himself an advantage.

Empty blocks kept happening, people kept blaming pools.

OCEAN got attacked over it. We explained the real reason they happen so much, and Bitmain releases a fix right after.

Insane.

This goes further than empty blocks.

It's not just empty templates that take forever to work their way out of an Antminer, it's *all templates* and pools are constantly updating work as new transactions show up.

A super lucrative transaction shows up in your mempool?

All other pools are sending an updated job to hundreds of thousands of Antminers who will ignore it for a while, while Antpool has their miners working on it more quickly.

It's not hard to see the motivation for all this, especially going forward as TX fees become more and more important.

Again, insane.

the story of js has been to make richer, more interactive websites while minimizing data transfer over the wire at runtime. I agree we've probably gone too far, but htmx is just bringing back memories of jQuery and its hellhole of plugins.

we have had solutions for backend handling everything. it's just HTML templating. htmx does not do what you say. instead of making the frontend focus on user interaction and response to those actions, it delegates fragments of a view to a backend that is also responsible for serving up full pages and potentially serving up data in another format like json. it taken a clean-ish separation of data manipulation and data rendering and instead made it worse. just use full backend templating and go to the backend with every button click at that point. serving up HTML fragments from an API is gross.

in addition, the entire setup is facilitated by a js lib. it's just complicating the logic of what owns the fragments of HTML for rendering data. as a backend developer myself, it's a really gross way of building an application.

but that's just my two sats.


why browsers are the problem? how htmx, a js lib, fixes js? how more markup in my HTML is the answer?

live to fight another day.


The All in Pod was a staple of the week for many of us.

When Chamath said stagflation wouldn’t happen a couple of years ago, his justification was that it couldn’t happen because he didn’t even know what stagflation meant.

People like Luke Gromen, James Lavish, Lyn Alden were consistently providing clearly researched work with explanations on macro without making claims with that kind of hubris.

Those doing the work were all Bitcoiners.

They’re the opposite of chamath and his ilk.  Jason too.  We daydream about having Bitcoiners buy the Knicks one day out of spite but that’s for another post.

What’s great about the group of Bitcoiners, is we’ve all had to admit that we were all kind of full of shit about what we knew about money.

That’s why we’re having fun.

People that can admit they were wrong are also capable at laughing at themselves and not taking themselves seriously.  These are genuinely fun and interesting people to be around.

All bias aside, they are special people and very rare.

Those that can’t admit when they’re wrong are consistently in a tailspin to avoid the inevitable ego death.  They turn into something weird then dark.

The next phase of FUD is these types of people getting behind the money transmitter definition change.  Be on the lookout and call it out as soon as you see it.

They will do anything to be able to say I told you so.  The changing of definitions is their saving grace from embarrassment and having to admit they were wrong. They most likely have VC money and political sway.

The fight you stage is here.  We have to be prepared and quick to act before team ego gets momentum.  They need Bitcoiners to be illegally transacting somehow or their ego death is certain.


devil's advocate here. 👋  what good is it for anyone if they get tied up in litigation? removing operations from a place they will probably be targeted allows at least some to still use their services. they have done quite a bit for the ecosystem and still can. it's survival.

don't blame them for their reaction. blame the american government for their actions. fight the correct battle.

As I have said for a long time, money is superordinate to laws. In other words, when money is broken, laws are changed to protect the winners of the  manipulation of money, rather than citizens.

The recent news is only one more step in the inevitable fight to centralize everything…..”in the name of protecting you”

A dystopian control structure preying on you by pretending to be the free market.

PS - Been expecting this and a lot more.
I stand ready.

Game on!


oh I completely agree. I just think the guy fawkes masks are cringe. plus mr fawkes isn't quite the hero people think he is. antifa uses guy fawkes as well and I'd prefer not be associated with those idiots. I'm open to other mask suggestions. I just though clown masks might represent the pure ridiculousness of the whole situation


we know the government has direct contact with Twitter. them tweeting is proof of nothing.


there's now a case using chainalysis data to convict without proving their methods actually work. I'm sure we will start seeing this shit happen much more often now.


damn this is a bad take. like them or not, a well known set of devs being arrested like this for what amounts to utxo coordination does not set a good precedent for the rest of us.


clown masks or I'm out


the way the government works, we need to assume the samourai servers have been compromised for a while. it's part of the playbook to own the server and run it for a while to mine more data on the users.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.


You can’t have freedom without privacy.

The attack on self-custody is next.


if there's a lesson in here, it's that we should all be doing work under nyms

📌 Login component based on NIP-46 (Remote Signer), NIP-07 (Browser Extension), and also nsec secretkey.
🧠 This component is designed to be both "User" and "Developer" friendly, as well as other components included in Osty.

Here is a quick demo:

guess i should have said good idea. if we use a more federated model and throw all my notes to a single relay, even if it's only for a subset of my notes, i am purposefully centralizing instead of broadening my reach. so how is this better? this seems like going backwards


that doesn't make it a good thing


at what point are we just going down the typical federation route?


classic pyramid scheme


i stand corrected


i mean, alot of it is C++. so....


i prefer it, but it has some issues


corelightning has alot of issues


also tauri apps don't count


i'm onboard with native apps. but let's be real. mac seems to be the go-to environment to build for and then linux and windows comes later. every feature needs to make sure it can work on each of those specific envs instead of building for the browser as the abstractions


it's all about shipping. browsers are much more prevalent


web browsers were built for the web. fuckin mindblown


nothing personal nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 . but rust > c++

look into some of the work filippo valsorda is doing. he went full time on open source over a year ago and has been exploring different models. as a person, he's insufferable, but he's intelligent and is really trying to figure out full time open source. https://words.filippo.io/full-time-maintainer/


and make the source available but don't let anyone use it and then keep calling yourself open source.


yeah I mean we don't need nips for every application of the protocol. seems ridiculous. if we standardize over time on an application,  then great. but it doesn't need to be at the protocol level.


wow this is embarrassingly bad. I heard this was a good podcast for learning some economics but I made it about half way through and couldn't take the obviously politically-biased "advice" from the one doing most of the talking.

also the idea that the Japanese culture is polite and inclusive to foreigners apparently hasn't tried to buy something of Japanese culture in-person there.

Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

there are some good email proxy sites you could use to get those emails sent.

but yes. I concur.


that would make sense. it still has the issue of being more easily scalable for this abuse. with a recursive covenant, the encumberance stays with the utxo as it's spent. as I understand it, you end up in a tainted Bitcoin scenario. at least the "tainted" Bitcoin we have now can have their history severed with a coinjoin


LETS GO!


may the geforce be with you


haha commented on the wrong note. disregard.


not the same thing though. in a multisig, I'd need someone else to sign off on my spending. with a covenant, I don't need permission to send but I'm still restricted on where it goes. in terms of censorship, that scales much better for the censor than sending funds to a multisig. plus I don't think "we can already do that" is a good argument for doing another bad thing. "I already stole. so what's a another theft?"


admittedly I am not an expert on bitcoin convenants. I know that there are alot of good use-cases for them. that said, how is allowing a utxo to be encumbered, especially in the case of recursive covenants, not a huge attack surface ripe for abuse? it sounds like a great way to make the bitcoin network an ofac-compliant cbdc.

from Luke Broyles

Let.  Me.  Say.  It.  Again.

98% of nations or political states that hit 130% sovereign debt to GDP in the last 225 years had hyperinflation, default, or war within 15 years.

That means your historical EXPECTATION is for the USA to have a major war, default, or hyper-inflationary event in the mid-late 2030s or sooner.

Other options are obviously possible, but for it to take longer than 2030s would be (by definition) a historical outlier… For it to never happen is even more remote.

To assume “X can’t happen because our economy is big” is to be historically naive…

Germany was the 5th largest economy when it underwent hyperinflation in the early 20th century.

The Dutch went from global superpower defeating the British in multiple wars and colonizing modern New York to default.

The Spanish Empire produced 80% of the world’s silver then hyperinflated.

China in the 12th century. Egypt. The Persians. Britain. France. Japan. India. On and on…

It is entirely possible to have a currency or debt reset without the end of the world. Default is the optimistic scenario.

The reason we can guarantee our debts in nominal terms is because we guarantee debasement in real terms.

It is a mathematical certainty debasement will occur because we guarantee to never become nominally insolvent.

This is not a debt problem, but a debt-to-equity problem.

What were to happen if instead of collapsing under debt, the United States were to just add #Bitcoin    to it’s balance sheet and pump it up thus making itself solvent again?

Few understand the game of musical chairs.

In the same way Michael @saylor destroys the monetary premium of his stock, increases debt, and buys #Bitcoin   … governments will be forced to consider the same.

The only way to save your company/government becomes to destroy the political currency premium ASAP via converting it into #Bitcoin    premium.

The optimal path for one to protect themself is to transition from fiat to #Bitcoin   … from the individual to the billionaire to the nation-state.

We will cross the chasm where #Bitcoin    goes from being viewed as a speculative internet number to being the backing behind political currency in of itself.

We are approaching a cliff of unsustainability where the universal answer is to plug the ever-widening insolvency hole with an ever-faster printer forcing the #Bitcoin    price ever-higher.

A million simulations, countless historical examples, and game theory all pointing to the same direction.

In short:…

When few want to buy your bonds+fiat because it is backed by nothing print more of it out of nothing and dump that new supply onto those still willing to sell #BTC    for it… This works until the latter group has fully transitioned to the former (which you are accelerating).

Then… infinite bid.

Printing your currency for #Bitcoin    becomes the only way to stay solvent today but in doing so you make the end state of nobody wanting your currency only more inevitable.

Max pain for #Bitcoin    is up, up, up.

Hashing the Torch, my first Bitcoin miner passed on to a fellow pleb
https://i.nostr.build/YgKA6.jpg
A friend was interested in learning about mining so gave him an S9 to experiment with.
https://i.nostr.build/vGOxv.jpg
Before I could give it to him, I had to clean the canola oil off the hashboard I was using in the immersion maple sap heater. I gave the board a bath in very soapy water and used a spray bottle to get the oil out from in and around all the heat sinks. Then dried very thoroughly with a hair dryer. Ironically, because the board was so clean, it was staying a few degrees cooler than the other hashboards when I was tuning the miner up before handing it off.
https://i.nostr.build/3PGqP.jpg
The improved performance of the S9 from the cleaning, got me thinking I should clean the miner I use for my clothes dryer. When I opened it up I was shocked that it was hashing at all... It was almost totally clogged with dryer lint. After cleaning it out the fans were running at much lower speeds significantly reducing the noise. We must have gotten used to it as it slowly got louder and louder. For as much as Canaan miners get hated on, this machine has proven to be very tough, hashing in a very dirty high heat environment with reduced airflow.

So I've heard that ed25519 is a faster curve than secp256k1 and I've always believed it.

I just compared the signature verification performance of rust secp256k1 (which uses Pieter Ruille's secp256k1 c library) against the signature verification performance of rust ed25519-dalek (pure rust). They are similar. Over one million sequential signature verifications, I get these results:

  Time per secp256k1 verification: 26826ns
  Time per ed25519 verification: 24634ns

There are a few things about ed25519 to pay attention to though:
1) It uses SHA-512, not SHA-256 because RFC 8032 for ed25519 specifies only SHA-512. This might be why it wasn't much faster.
2) All random bitstrings make valid keys
3) The code is safe against power analysis and timing attacks (might also be true of secp256k1)
4) The dalek library does secure-erase of memory as it drops (might also be true of secp256k1)


this hurts me right in the Makefile

the state, as long as we recognize their laws, can force their will on you in an attempt to prevent you from exercising these right by passing laws saying you don't, for example, have freedom of speech. it doesn't matter at that point who gives them to you if you can't exercise them. what i'm saying is that you don't have to believe in God and, therefore that these are given to you by God, to believe that you have these rights because these rights are not given. instead, they are inherent to being a human. creator or not, they cannot be taken away for the same reason. they are not something that are given to potentially later be taken away. this is why imo christians and atheists can agree that a government taking these away is immoral and should not be tolerated.


finally! been waiting on this. really though, i'd like facebook login. trying to onboard my parents.


no idea. but even if he built it, zbd custodies them. so if he does use their service, I wouldn't consider him holding his own keys at that point.


why do rights have to be given? it's inherent to being alive. if you don't believe in God, then those rights have been realized as part of being an evolved human and will probably evolve as well as we reflect on what it means to be human. if you do believe in God, then they come from this creator as part of being created in his image and more will be discovered as we discover what it means to be made in his image. either way, being human means you have these rights and they are not given but are inherent to humanity.


fiatjaf maybe? I mean, he built it. so I'm sure he dogfoods his own creation, right?

I had one of those in highschool. great calculator.


they seem to have updated their docs. I can't find the page that used to talk about it but here's a similar one on how to take tips on a YouTube video. https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-lightning-account/use-your-lightning-address/youtube


haha yeah I try not to watch videos on amethyst because of this. restarting your phone should do it, I believe. or play some music.


absolutely. tangentially related, did you know that github projects can put a lightning address in the readme of a project for tips and alby will pick it up to make it a one click send. we need more tooling like that.


it's a mix of things. I think many spread themselves too thin. creating a bunch of projects to give back to the community is great, but if you can't maintain them, long-term you're doing a disservice. so I think it's beneficial to pass off a project if you can and are willing or deprecate a project loudly and point to an alternative if one pops up.

next, we should be supporting open source devs however we can. if there aren't tests, write them. review PRs. tip them. automate a task in the repo. every little bit helps. and as you get trusted more, maybe you become the maintainer.

the ultimate solution is just to have full-time open source devs that are paid to maintain these projects. the issue is what company is going to do that. some do, for sure. I think the spiral model is great! and there are others out there trying out different models to monitoze their open source contributions. however, I also think there is a huge potential for community-driven funding. organizations like opensats seem to be leading the charge in this and I love to see it.

at the end of the day, there are lots of opportunities to help out open source development, especially for new engineers looking for real-world experience. all help is appreciated.

also, don't be a dick to the maintainers. for most, it's a side gig and they don't need your shit.


long term open source package management seems to be a really big problem. lots of important crates have gone unmaintained for years.
