Une ex-candidate Reconquête devient journaliste à «Valeurs actuelles»

Pauline Darrieus, 24 ans, travaille aujourd’hui pour le magazine d’extrême droite après, en 2022, avoir défendu, à Londres, les couleurs de Reconquête aux législatives. Elle assure qu’il n’y a «plus aucun échange» avec son ancien parti.

For now, at least, it seams they are just closing the #kyc on ramp.


‚The sweeping #AML package aims to eliminate anonymous #cash #payments over €3000 in commercial transactions and prohibit cash payments above €10000 in business transactions.

It would also require AML/KYC checks on all bitcoin payments to #custodial #wallets operated by regulated service providers.‘

Thank you for the clarification

In this "Earth Hour" I humbly ask those who create these type of initiatives to, please, go #fuck themselves. Thank you. #earthhour


So #Relai users can no longer move funds from their #Relai wallets to their cold storage, if they are from the EU? Can you please clarify, #Relai ? Thanks


Pseudo-anonymity loses all meaning: doxxed

Ethereum Name Service was integrated Into Google Search Results.

The displayed result showed the address particulars, such as Ether balance and the time of the latest transaction, all collected by Etherscan.

This integrated search with Google exposes the identity of users, and AI-integrated search will be the end of pseudo-anonymity for traceable blockchains.

Privacy is safety.
That's why #Monero

‚Anonymous cash payments over €3,000 will be banned in commercial transactions.

No way!!!


I have stoped buying BTC and switched all buying to #monero. I will hold both coins with no regrets.


Those people in Brussels are the criminals!


They should ban hockey sticks too! They can be nefariously used to knock someone out of their senses. Very dangerous stuff! Ban, ban ban!


I believe you should have both and just hodl them for a rainy day. If that day don't come, just leave it for the kids. Spending BTC would become increasingly dangerous I suppose. When the kids spend it you are already dead so KYC won't matter then, since they have the plausible deniability of not knowing about your stash, which was lost in a boating accident.


For sure! Those tax heavens are getting harder and harder to hide money in their banks.


Eitherway. 1 ounce of gold always 1 ounce. 1 bitcoin = 1 #bitcoin

How long will it be before insurance companies are using all of this information along with an AI analysis of said data to deny you healthcare based off of pre-existing conditions caused by your lifestyle?

And in the U.S. in particular, insurance companies are allowed to exploit every loophole possible to make and save money.

They will be able to tie the data from your driving record your car sends and the purchases you make to say you are high risk and deny you coverage.

This isn't coming soon, this is already here.

You just don't realize it's happening right before your eyes.

For me this is a non issue. When I was born there were already several billion people in the planet with more wealth than me and that didn't stop me from accumulating my own. I believe that the same principle can be applied to the fact you put forward. I can always accumulate more #Monero. If my effort to do so is greater than the effort of those who arrived earlier, it is not a Monero's flaw, but a circumstance of #life itself.


Why not 0-hour? Just insert a plug in your butt, connected to a solar panel, and receive sustenance by photosynthesis.


Roman Sterlingov, the operator of #Bitcoin Fog, has been found guilty of money laundering and faces up to 50 years in prison. All he did was operate a coin mixing service. People might use coin mixing for illicit reasons, but personally 100% of the people I know who have mixed coins are only doing so to avoid a potential confiscation event like the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. Coincidence???

Misinformation is likely responsible for the jury finding him guilty. Whatever happened to the 4th Amendment? The Privacy Act of 1974? Why is it necessary to be investigated when I haven’t committed a crime? When I’m not even a suspect?

Is privacy becoming illegal? Is hypocrisy becoming the norm?

According to the press release: most of the #Bitcoin was obtained from darknet marketplaces linked to computer fraud, illegal narcotics, and identity theft. The mixer also serviced people who supplied child sexual abuse material.

VERY SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS or MISINFORMATION/FUD?

Ngl, it’s hard for me to believe a majority came from the darknet…it’d be easier to believe this is virtue signaling to avoid getting criticized for invading privacy, but maybe I’m wrong and a majority did come from illicit activities, but it didn’t ALL come from illicit activity as their service and ones like it protect the individual from potential surveillance/data breaches.

There need to be balance between privacy and legal accountability. I can’t tell you the perfect ratio, but I can tell you the scales have been tipped.

Illicit activity existed before #Bitcoin and it’s logical to assume it will continue to exist on a #BTC standard. If I’m wrong then the government will possibly win the war on drugs. If I’m right the term illicit will become looser and looser and the invasion of privacy will compound.

They are trying to use transparency against #Bitcoin, BUT if EVERY coin join in 2023 was illicit activity it would have amounted to $24B worth of illicit activity whereas the UNODC estimates $1-2T worth of annual illicit activity is done through the dollar.

The illicit activity through #Bitcoin is likely 100x smaller than the dollar’s, but the scrutiny is 1000x more. Everything they accused #Bitcoin fog of facilitating is likely happening 100x more in the dollar…

If THIS is such a problem…why isn’t THAT?!?! https://image.nostr.build/4861cc37b23f26aebbea592d4694e088b6a27768c3e7cc792ecf707f0f7c27a5.jpg

You do not need to sell it. Just use a utxo to buy a soda in El Salvador and after 10 transactions someone uses it to commit a crime. They go back in the transactions and your name is the only one that comes up because you used a KYC exchange to buy #btc... Next thing you know you are in a cell somewhere. Possible scenario?


This case lead me to this discussion. What do you think?

nostr:nevent1qqszv6zlyz3mzv6s0zly0htruf8zae0uks4apjfsaz8zgsjdqkaem5qprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnvv93kkcnew3jjumnvqgsrjyh8qujemk9gwv0rapfj3cmadz7vleas2lde8z2zgacf20c33hgrqsqqqqqprmtpsf


But wouldn't this affect very negatively the whole community, not only normies? The only "safe" way to "have" #btc would be via an #etf, since your name\ip\whatever is never linked to a specific #utxo that is going to be used in the future in some illegal stuff, no? I find it scary that the initial idea I put forward could be used by the government so every bitcoiner just gives up in fear of incarceration for a crime someone else commited. I feel this is one of the biggest risks in bitcoin. Don't you? Why?


Happened already something of sorts?

What happens to #btc adoption and btc price, or any other #crypto for that matter, if Uncle Sam starts convicting nationals of money laundering, or require the extradition of foreigners for that same reason, only because that poor person bought a KYC coin that was later used by someone else in some shaddy business? Isn't this a great way to instill fear in the average Joe bitcoiner so there is no hard threat to the almighty #dollar? #gold was confiscated in the 30s, maybe this time they try something else with this new internet funny money?

Why is the conviction of Roman Sterlingov for “Bitcoin Mixing” corrupt?

a. The ONLY evidence is Chainalysis software that’s proprietary with an unknown mechanism.  This ends “burden of proof”

b. Chainalysis sells services to the US government.  And to make the conflict of interest even worse, there’s a rotating door of employment with the government, with employees going back and forth.

c. The original prosecutor on Roman’s case literally joined Chainalysis mid-trial.

d. The only supposed Chainalysis evidence is from 2011.  This is past the statue of limitations. And mixing was considered legal in 2011.

e. The government gets to keep his Kraken funds that they had access to, because he didn’t hide legal funds.

f. There is no basis for someone from Sweden to be arrested in California but tried in DC, on the opposite side of the country.  They purposefully picked the corrupt Washington DC district where they could get a conviction.

g. Zero evidence was found on his personal devices or internet traffic.  And the FBI directly monitored him for 5 years. That's why they let it go so long [2011], to try to find real evidence.

Yes. I just figured that a solution to my problem would be to remove the app from obtainium but not from the profile. That way, when the app is updated by google play in the other profile it also updates in the profile that has only obtainium. This way the errors no longer occur.

I've been able to move most of my applications to #Obtainium. Getting a new phone and installing GrapheneOS helped push me into doing it, since a lot of stuff was being reconfigured anyway.

I can't see myself going back to the old centralized model. I wish more of my FOSS apps would include binaries in their got repos, but many may not be aware of the Obtainium use case yet.

I have security questions, but honestly I never had much insight into the security of centralized app stores either. Frankly, I'm skeptical that they are as secure as many claim to be.

It seems to me that downloading directly from the development git repo offers as much security as one could hope for, especially if the alternative is an entire store layer added on top that the developers have no control over.

It would be cool if key and binary verification could somehow be implemented, but I have no idea if that's possible or practical.

I'm excited for this project. It's going to be crucial as time goes on. I think the major closed app stores are going to be far more oppressive as freedom tech becomes a real threat (by becoming easier for normies to adopt).


How do you do to have two different user profiles in #grapheneos one with #google play and the other with #obtainium, and have all #proton apps installed in both profiles? I currently have this setup but am having issues in the obtainium profile because of version mismatches. Can you please help? Thanks #asknostr #privacy #opsec #graphene #degoogle

Thank you and I'm glad it was already patched.


Doesn't this kill #monero? Already having this conversation in other note, but for some reason I cannot link here.


And this is known at least since 2018, as I understand. I am new to #monero, so just having knowledge now, but is this something widely know by the community? What is the sentiment regarding #xmr and this study?


And will it cover past transactions?


Ok but while that is not the case I feel that using Monero would be extremely dangerous. Is there a roadmap for that implementation?


Yes, but this defeats Monero's purpose for privacy no? Bitcoin as no such premise. If Monero loses it's property of being a private means of exchange then what is it's purpose?


This kills #Monero then, no?


“Assuming an attack timeframe of 12 months, our findings show that an attacker can trace up to 47.63% of the transaction inputs at a cost of just 1,746.53 USD. Moreover, we show also that more than 90% of the inputs are affected by our tracing algorithm.”

#GrapheneOS has discovered a use-after-free memory corruption bug in Android 14 QPR2 for Bluetooth LE. This issue impacts the stock operating system as well. We have reported this to Google as a security bug today.

We have already made an initial, minimally invasive patch to fix this:

https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_packages_modules_Bluetooth/commit/e295e5888f97ba11a4d07aff3b6bc48b2512831c

We have noted elsewhere that this code needs a major refactor and shouldn't be using raw pointers, but we want to avoid introducing new bugs with a quick patch.

The hardware memory tagging support for Pixel 8 and later has helped massively. On devices earlier than them it likely would manifest as BLE audio devices not working without an error message since it wouldn't crash. Our MTE implementation detects it which is what led to us being able to fix it so quickly.

The hardening GrapheneOS implements doesn't just help the users by making them safe from exploits, it helps developers by helping them to create more secure software by catching memory corruption bugs and uncovering them thanks to our features.

See: https://grapheneos.org/usage#bugs-uncovered-by-security-features

Pixels shipped a humongous hardware security feature by having memory tagging support but they do not use it for the OS to save around ~3.25% of memory usage. GrapheneOS enabled it by default for the OS and known user-installed apps compatible with it. As we have mentioned before, GrapheneOS is the first platform using MTE in production and Vanadium is the first web browser too.

Progress towards Android 14 QPR2 is coming along nicely and hopefully all (which are minimal) regressions will be fixed soon.


Shitcoiners must #shitpost!!!!!!


Yes, please don't get me wrong, I love bitcoin too, but let us borrow those sleazy wealth managers shenanigans for a bit and say that it is wise to  have a small percentage of your portfolio in BTC. Well, what I am arguing is, have the biggest position in your portfolio be BTC and allocate that small percentage to XMR. It will not appreciate as greatly as BTC, but it will appreciate somewhat while allowing you to conduct business in private in a not so private future, where that means of exchange will become ever increasingly difficult to came by. For example, let 95% of your stack be BTC and 5% XMR and just keep on accumulating.


Yes I understand that, but if you average the price since inception you will see that it is not that volatile, so in the long term I feel it is a decent store of value. Also, given that privacy will be increasingly important I believe there will be an in tandem price appreciation with that need for privacy. Do you feel my thinking is flawed? Please red team me. Thanks

Well, I guess I have to buy my sats somewhere eles then


Why not?


Monero glitched.  Or is it an attack?

There is currently a fee bug with Monero, that the wallet doesn’t automatically bump the fee when there is a backlog.  This fee bug is causing sync issues with many wallets.  Self-hosted nodes or unpopular nodes are less affected.  The bug has already been solved with some wallets.

There are rumors that Nostr's creator is behind a spam attack.  We address this and have a ready working solution:

Why XMPP is Better than Matrix:

XMPP is the gold standard of decentralized open source communications and the primary choice for the darkweb.  Now we can debate XMPP’s reliance on government domains vs SimpleX & Session.  Those are fair criticisms.   But all of these, including Matrix, have centralized development.  SimpleX got money from Microsoft.  Signal is on Amazon.  And while Session is on a blockchain, it’s like a corporation when it comes to changes.  While as XMPP is the only one that’s pure & truly decentralized, with nobody in charge.

And because hosting a Matrix server is so annoying, most people DON’T self-host, and use the official Matrix server w/ Google captchas fingerprinting your device and Gmail doing the verification.  That’s right, Matrix.org is linked to Gmail, which ties your Matrix account to your real name if you were dumb enough to trust them with your real email.  And can you guess what company actually hosts Matrix.org?  Can you guess what US-government compliant company sees who you talk to and when?  Drum roll... Cloudflare.

This is copy pasted from the previous post, as it was the main point.  I shouldn't have buried the point at the end


I will #sell it all at 100K!  The fiat, I mean.


PrivacyTechPro tip: Be careful that your Wi-Fi name does not include sensitive details like your family name etc.

If so, you are just a search away from being doxxed.

Did you know the #Google Maps car also collects and catalogs wireless network names? #Microsoft and #Wigle do the same.

The good news is you can (and should) opt out.

Give your wireless network a new name with "_nomap" at the end to prevent Google from collecting your router's information.

EX: "YourWifiName_nomap"

Microsoft requires "_optout", but it can be anywhere in the network name.

If you want to block both from collecting and storing your wireless network information, this example would work.

"YourWifiName_optout_nomap"

Wigle wireless mapping service accepts both options so this format would be sufficient.

Google yourself.

I'm serious. Search your name, nicknames, and email address. You will be surprised by the amount of information available about you. All the websites you have registered on, posts on old forums and personal information of you on sites you may have forgotten about or were not aware of.

Everything you do on the internet is public. An attacker could potentially learn everything about you, your life, and your family through the information you share online. This is known as #OSINT (open-source intelligence).

Take a few hours out of your day to clean what you can, while you still can.

If we didn't have inflation, when someome got an idea for a cool new thing, they wouldn't be able to build it because there's literally no money left to go around. Every unit of money is already allocated to something.

If someone were to invest their savings (which it's questionable ifnsavings would even exist in the same way we think of it now simce there's not enough money to go around, but just putting that aside for a moment...), there couldn't be any return on investment because there's no additional money.

In terms of buting power, people are poorer in a deflationary economy.

These are the argument I heard earlier tonight. Can someone point me to succinct counterarguments? Importantly, something that doesn't require studying economics for years, but something I could just casually mention in a pub in 60 seconds and get the point across to a normal person. Ideally 160 characters or less! 🔥

Every single Google software/service is just an excuse to gather a shit ton of information about you. It's basically all spyware. They use:

🔸 Gmail to scan your emails.
🔸 Gboard to keylog everything you type on your phone.
🔸 Google Chrome to track all your browsing history.
🔸 Google Ads to track you accross the web.
🔸 Google Cloud to scan and spy on all your files.
🔸 Google Photos to scan and spy on all your photos.
🔸 Google Pay to track your purchase history.
🔸 Google AI's to track all your prompts.
🔸 Their earch engine to track your searchs.
🔸 Youtube to track your interests and watch history.

Various apps like Calendar, Notes, and Tasks are all collecting data about you aswell. A single company knows all your life. Google controls your life, because you let them.

They are in bed with the government as well, so everything about you will be shared when SHTF. Don't wait any longer, delete your Google account, stop using their services, take control of your data, your privacy and your life.

Exit Google.


After more than a year of playing with the different engines (LLM) I have come to the conclusion that they can be dangerous, and not precisely because they can help you gain productivity, but because in many cases they break the critical thinking process.

A practical example:

So far if you want to search on a topic, you will probably have to browse google or your favorite search engine and read a few pages until you reach a conclusion.

In technical matters this is already dangerous in itself, because if an LLM offers you a single answer, you are already ignoring other points of view, avoiding pros and cons.

But this becomes even more dangerous in political, moral and behavioral issues. The LLM will dictate the answer, it will dictate what is right and what is wrong, and little by little, with its increasing use, the dominant LLM in the market will dictate what society should think, how it should behave and what decisions it should make.

And don't be silly, LLM is not an artificial intelligence, it is not a self-aware intelligence, don't scam, an LLM is just massive data processing and indexing, and the rules are dictated by a human.

In conclusion, the new tools wrongly called "artificial intelligence" will be used by governments to shape public opinion and the behavior of the unwary, they are the new television.

People  complain about zoom but I don't see you trying to stop using it when you go oh i'm having a job interview. Really where? On Zoom why well thats what they use thats how it is.

When will you stand up & tell that person I don't do interviews over zoom it's my right to protect my privacy & not disclose personal information over recorded third party applications. You will have to either phone interview me or meet face to face.

You most likely won't because your desprete for a job because you need the income now so you don't give a shit about your rights, you don't care how your info is sold, & you coax yourself into justification of it. How many times have you heard the disgusting coaxing phrases I got nothing to hide, I don't do anything bad, it is what it is, thats what they do thats how it is, or you can't argue with them or they will hire someone else who don't give a shit.

If you let them walk over you they will. You might as well change your name legally to pushover doormat.

People usually care about their sports team, their wallets in the immediate future, without trying to understand why it is becoming empty, but to only bitch and moan about it to other like minded individuals, and what some wise ass politician mindlessly babled last night on tv which will have 0 impact in their lives.

Every time I read the #ECB report on the “lack of value of #bitcoin”, I wonder what kind of delusional experts write it at the expense of #EU taxpayers' money?

I don’t want to pay for such low level of expertise.

For the privileged guys, when you can choose any bank, bitcoin is useless, but for us - financially excluded and oppressed people in most countries of the world - bitcoin is the only payment and fundraising tool.

Let’s come together to @EU_Commission and @Europarl_EN to educate policymakers about the reality of financially excluded people and what role bitcoin as a #freedomtech tool plays to resist weaponization of banking data by the oppressive regimes.


For those who don’t believe that we can actually do change the language of regulations in democracies, I want to show some examples (proof-of-work) of our BTC Coalition in education of policymakers.

One of the recommendations to 57 members states to reflect at the relevant regulations use of #bitcoin for human rights and humanitarian aid. Link is here:

Europe is fucked in that scenario. The European Union's days are numbered as is but, if the Fed keeps them rates high, the demise of the Union will be much quicker.

Slaves will be slaving


So many people work 2,000 hours or more a year where they’re expected to be loyal to a company that will never do the same for them, and consider themselves lucky.

They’re offered investment plans that are limited to what their employer chooses for them so decades down the road they might have a shot at a comfortable retirement.

They take on debt to get an education, to keep up with inflation, and to fund their lifestyles.

Most don’t learn how to save what they earn on their own, and expect their banks and financial planners to offer them something, anything, to keep them from going under.

There is an alternative, of course.

It’s called #bitcoin.


EU: Eurobonds Come Through The Back Door As War Bonds

The principle of joint liability is simple: assume you are part of the still existing middle class, have done well all your life, are solvent and are only lumped together with your bankrupt neighbor. They are then liable for their neighbor's faulty economic behavior. Nice, isn't it? That is the principle of joint liability that we are now facing in the eurozone. They won't call it Eurobonds, but they are using the conflict between Ukraine and Russia to foist these Eurobonds on us as war bonds to finance the activities of a European army. And as is always the case in this policy: then all the dams break, then there is no turning back until the whole ship sinks. It was one of the fundamental promises and agreements not to strive for joint liability among the completely different economies of the eurozone. We can see from the financing of sovereign debt by the European Central Bank that the socialist policies of the eurozone undermined this agreement from day one. The fact that the European Commission has also long been issuing its own bonds in the name of this construct is another scandal that is being hushed up by the media (By the way: these first Eurobonds called 'SURE' are trading 40% down, even after the biggest bond rally after the crash).

For outsiders, it is fascinating to see how the fiat credit world operates. Every event is actually reinterpreted in such a way that it creates the opportunity to create new credit. In this case, a latent fear of a Russian invasion of the euro member states is being used as political leverage to push through a policy of further centralization in Brussels. The principle roughly follows the political logic of the corona lockdowns, when states were forced to accept Eurobonds in order to keep the paralyzed economy and consumption going.

Never Ending Debt Spiral
We are talking about a volume of hundreds of billions of euros in this war bonanza, not a lid over it. Eternal growth, in the Keynesian system it is above all credit that explodes until it collapses. The bill is then paid by those who were still productive and were able to keep this system alive in some form. And this is where the numerous misconstructs of the eurozone come into play. Non-homogeneous banking systems, completely different productivities of the individual economies, different legal systems etc etc - the economic and social convergence of the individual states planned and desired from a central point ends in the destruction of social cohesive forces. We can already see the harbingers of the crisis: the eurozone is in recession, the construction industry is imploding, Germany is happily de-industrializing through its ideological climate delusion, while at the same time the socialist governments of the individual states are exploding their social budgets. How much longer can this go on? That is written in the stars, but the clock is ticking, as is always the case when central planners take on what was once a relatively free economy.

My philosophy

My philosophy of life is to try to avoid everything that can hurt me and also to look for solutions.

Obviously the new woke politics is one of the things that can hurt me, but I don't share the modus operandi of certain people who are going on all day about vaccines, climate change, etc.

I do it from time to time, it is true, but my life does not revolve around it.

My philosophy is also based on the idea that 99% of people are retarded and I will not be able to change them, nor will I be able to change the system.

So how does my philosophy work? Basically I do what I want regardless of what society or the government tells me.

- If the government tells me to get vaccinated, I don't do it and that's it, I don't give a damn about what others do, I don't spend my life on it, I'm not thinking about it all day long.
- If one day the government forbids me to eat meat, I will raise my own animals, I don't give a damn what the government says.
- As for climate change, I know it's a lie, I don't care about it, I don't have eco-anxiety and I will always drive combustion vehicles.
- Inflation? well, I don't give a damn about it, Bitcoin is my bank.
- A possible war? I don't give a damn, I will never fight, I am ready to go to the other side of the world, I will not lose my life for anyone and even less for a government and its useless citizens.

If you notice the government only wants you to be anxious and live on permanent alert, you have to embrace the passivity and try to live your life in the margins of the system and not obsess.

We are not immortal beings, do not live life as if you were immortal, relativize the problems and more when they are problems imposed by society and its NPCs.

Inflation: Are We At The Beginning Of The Second Wave?

Central banks fulfil precisely two functions in the postmodern economy:

1. They monetize the rising mountains of national debt and at the same time finance ideological projects that would never have seen the light of day on the free market.
2. They serve the Cantillon Effect to enrich ruling elites at the expense of the middle and lower classes. This effect is amply documented in the literature and follows the logic that those who are closer to the money printer receive the newly printed money first and can thus acquire assets that protect them from inflation.
So one thing is certain: inflation has not disappeared, it is merely declining because some large economies, such as China's, are experiencing deflation.

What To Expect?
So what can we expect in the near future? We have two eminent examples from the economic past: the inflationary waves of the 1930s and 1940s and the waves of the 1970s. If we follow these two historically documented examples, we can expect the second, more severe wave of inflation in just a few months' time. The question is, what will trigger it? In my opinion, deflationary shocks that the fiat money system cannot compensate for will lead to monetary policy once again following the Keynesian logic and closing the gaps with fresh liquidity. We are familiar with this from the major financial market crisis and have seen it in the bailouts of banks, insurance companies and large corporations. Tax payer, beware the Ides of the great rug pull!

Antagonistic Policy Approach
American politics provides us with a good example these days, with inflationary and deflationary forces currently wrestling with each other for dominance. While the Federal Reserve is trying to implement a restrictive monetary policy, the US government is flooding the markets with fresh debt instruments that serve as collateral for the so-called Eurodollar system.
What we can observe, however, is that global liquidity is rising, not least due to China's massive intervention in its stock markets, which have been in free fall for months. So it remains exciting and it cannot be assumed that inflation will ever disappear from our lives.

On tuesday next week, Julian Assange's final hearing takes place in the UK. If he loses this, he will likely be on his way to the US where he will most definitely not get a fair trial. Australian politicians approved a motion calling for the release of Julian Assange but this is simply too late imo, seems more like a symbolic moral action from their side than anything else. Assange has been tortured for many years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London and in Belmarsh prison, and is in very bad physical and mental health according to his wife nostr:npub1xw7h0efeg5s8gla2uyu55jh4lfrlgppcjemrwkmdc7lgvhkcz3fqpvumsa.

#Amethyst v0.84.1: ncryptsec support (NIP-49)

Now you can export and login with a password-protected version of your private key.

This new format starts with **ncryptsec** and requires inputting a password to decrypt the key before loading it into a client. Keep in mind that the new format is not designed to replace your **nsec**, but to work side-by-side with it. Keep your nsec in the safest place you can and use the **ncryptsec** to move your key between devices, deleting it as soon as you are done with the transfer.

New Additions:
- Adds support for NIP49 to login and back up key screens
- Adds cryptographic support for NIP-49 to Quartz
- Enables citation on chats via @
- Adds "₿itcoin" to the set of custom hashtags

Great business model


Just got this from chatgpt, hope it helps:

"In the context of Tor and VPNs, expanding on it would involve delving deeper into the concept of end-to-end encryption and how using both Tor and a VPN might impact it. Essentially, it involves considering how the encryption mechanisms of Tor and the VPN interact and whether they introduce potential vulnerabilities or weaken the overall privacy protection.

When you use Tor, your data is encrypted multiple times as it passes through the Tor network, with each relay node decrypting a layer to reveal the next relay in the circuit. This provides strong protection against surveillance and interception by adversaries.

Similarly, when you use a VPN, your data is encrypted before it leaves your device and is decrypted by the VPN server before being sent to its destination. This protects your data from being intercepted by anyone monitoring your network connection.

However, when you use both Tor and a VPN together, there are additional points where your data is decrypted and re-encrypted. For example, your data is encrypted by the VPN client on your device, then decrypted by the VPN server, then encrypted again as it passes through the Tor network. Each additional encryption and decryption step introduces potential vulnerabilities and weak points in the overall encryption scheme.

One potential concern is that if the VPN server is compromised or logs your data, it could potentially undermine the privacy protections provided by Tor. Similarly, if the Tor network is compromised or if an adversary controls a significant portion of the network, they could potentially intercept or tamper with your data as it passes through the network.

In summary, while using both Tor and a VPN together can provide additional privacy protections in some scenarios, it's important to carefully consider the potential impact on end-to-end encryption and whether it introduces any additional vulnerabilities or weak points in the overall privacy protection."

Thanks


Why do you believe they will never sell?


Thank you for your answer and for your work. It is realy cool that you can use your hobby to have fun and to make it easier for everyone else.


Honest question: why spend fiat in parts and electricity knowing in advance that it will be almost impossible to mine a block with bitaxe? Also, the hashrate brought to the network is insignificant in the big picture, so the argument of decentralization and securing the network is not in play here, at least as I see it. Please understand I am not criticizing those who use this miners, I too have several nerdminers myself just for fun, I am just trying to understand if there are reasons that are not evident to me that justify me spending fiat in this bitaxe miner instead of just buying sats with it. Thank you for your patience.

Bitcoin eCash Sent via Mesh Network Demo:

A demo of Reticulum, Cashu and the project Nutband that combines them, in order to use a Cashu mint over Reticulum mesh network - in this case over long range radio, and without internet.

Great work nostr:npub1m2mvvpjugwdehtaskrcl7ksvdqnnhnjur9v6g9v266nss504q7mqvlr8p9

AustinMesh is doing a lot of great work on YouTube and other legacy platforms advancing knowledge about deploying and building mesh network communities.  I recommend checking them out wherever you can.

Additionally, if you are a member of an amateur radio group, bring up meshtastic and projects like the one in the video link as potential club projects that will bring in new people into radio.

If you never participated in a club, show up to a local group and when you introduce yourself, let them know that you are interested in things like this.  They won’t all be interested, but many will be.

Also, let me know if you have or see any radio projects posts you would like me to repost.

Can you share some cools apps you use? Thanks


They already do both and it's not enough for them. They will have to invent new taxes. I'd rather have none.


Is it available for sale? Where? Many thanks


I wouldn't want to be that button


I guess they do not need to shhut down alternatives. They just have to sell on the media the idea that bitcoin is for terrorists and dope fiends. After that, just offer people 2 new cbdc units for every one spent, or whatever, and the next day there will be a line around the block from the BIS headquarters so people can sell their children for this crap...


Just put us on a leash already and make us do tricks to earn your scraps. Save yourself the trouble of implementing all of that cutting edge, wonderful and incredible technology! Leash: simple. Thank you, from a have nothing and being happy slave


How can we go about getting this lady fired?


**Yes, Citrea is actually real 🤯**

Citrea is a massive change to the Bitcoin ecosystem by allowing a massive increase in transaction throughput on Bitcoin as well as full EVM compatibility. Let's break down what that actually means in approachable language.

A lot of the terminology with things like "zk rollups" can be confusing, so I'll do my best to simplify things here.

**Zero-knowledge ("ZK") here isn't for privacy, it's for scaling/verification**

A lot of confusion comes from the term "zero-knowledge" often being conflated with privacy-preserving. In the case of zk here, it's being used for it's ability to succinctly (read: in a tiny amount of data) prove something is true and allow anyone to verify the claim without knowing every piece of data used in the proof.

**Citrea is a validity rollup that leverages zk proofs to reduce its on-chain footprint**

This means that the amount of data needing to be published to Bitcoin's base layer is miniscule (just a small zk proof) compared to the amount of data off-chain (the entire state of the Citrea blockchain), and is easily verified on almost any device.

Citrea validators "batch" transaction on the Citrea chain and publish a single, small proof that summarizes the change in Citrea chain state since the last published state and inscribes it into a Bitcoin transaction (yes, similar to those inscriptions). This proof will only verify properly if the validator is honest, allowing anyone on the network to prove whether or not the proof published is valid.

More on validity rollups here from @lightcoin:

[https://bitcoinrollups.org](https://bitcoinrollups.org/)

**Citrea enables EVM-style smart contracts w/o changes to Bitcoin**

While you may have a vitriolic hatred for all things Ethereum (for legitimate or illegitimate reasons), the ability to create complex, Turing-complete smart contracts on Bitcoin without needing the base layer to fully store, parse, and validate those smart contracts feels like the best of both worlds to me.

This can enable things like AMMs (think Uniswap) to function with actual Bitcoin as the currency involved. The possibilities are practically limitless.

**Citrea is "trust-minimized," not "trustless"**

While this may feel semantic, I think it's an important distinction to make. Citrea changes the trust model from a federated multisig (a la Liquid) where you have to trust that a majority of participants remain honest to one where as long as a single network participant is honest funds cannot be confiscated or frozen.

As long as one individual validator remains honest, no other validator can confiscate pegged-in funds or mess with them in any way. Additionally, any validator acting maliciously will be subject to slashing (losing their own Bitcoin via the challenge-response protocol in BitVM) and thus have a financial incentive to be honest unless they know for sure that every single validator on the network will allow them to be malicious.

**Citrea would be even better with covenants**

Yes, I'm going to mention covenants 😅 Part of the minor trust required in Citrea can be reduced even further with covenants in Bitcoin:

https://docs.citrea.xyz/future-research/trustless-settlement

Additionally an opcode that fully verifies zk proofs directly on Bitcoin (i.e. not via BitVM) would allow a completely trustless zk rollup, but deciding on a proof to enshrine in Bitcoin's consensus layer is very unlikely at this point.

**Conclusion**

I'm insanely excited for this to be fully open-sourced and usable on testnet, and will share updates as I see them along with testing this out ASAP.

Special thanks to @0x_orkun for giving me a sneak peak and letting me contribute to the docs, helped me have a much better understanding of what Citrea really is! I'd highly recommend reading through their docs if you want to better grasp all of the ins and outs:

https://docs.citrea.xyz/technical-specs/readme

If you see something that could be improved in the docs, be sure to open an issue or submit your own PR, as the docs are open source themselves!

The Carnival of Venice is occurring now.

Venetian masks are sometimes used to symbolize decadence. But historically, there was a lot more to them than that.

Centuries ago, Venice was a highly stratified society, meaning big gaps between the wealthy nobles and the commoners, and between men and women. But the Venetian carnival, and any parties where the masks were worn, were opportunities for the nobles and commoners to mingle as equals without knowing or caring someone's social station.

The masks removed identity, and along with it, removed many consequences of interaction. People could speak their mind and interact more thoroughly without the heavy restrictions of the social stratification. And they could be critical of the current social structure without it necessarily being tied back to their identity. If society is open, then perhaps anonymity is rarely needed. But if society is closed or repressive, then anonymity is a tool to change minds while minimizing the consequences to the individual.

And Venetian masks were all different and beautiful, coming in all manner of styles and colors. The wearer could express themselves without revealing themselves, similar to how we might think of a social media avatar today, but in the real world.

Authoritarian/fascist governments on multiple occasions banned the carnival and criminalized the wearing of the masks, because anonymity and social equality were perceived as threatening to them. But as those governments fell, the carnival and tradition returned.

Anyway, good morning Nostr.
