#GrapheneOS uncovers leaked documentation for smartphone exploits by Cellebrite.

XRY and Cellebrite say they can do consent-based full filesystem extraction with iOS, Android and #GrapheneOS. It means they can extract data from the device once the user provides the lock method, which should always be expected. They unlock, enable developer options and use ADB.

Cellebrite's list of capabilities provided to customers in April 2024 shows they can successfully exploit every non-GrapheneOS Android device brand both BFU and AFU, but not GrapheneOS if patch level is past late 2022. It shows only Pixels stop brute force via the secure element.

 https://image.nostr.build/8e893edfdc5699a979ca586def3e2b20e0179013da3e4cc5b57522870e2982c6.jpg

Cellebrite has similar capabilities for iOS devices. This is also from April 2024. We can get the same information from newer months. In the future, we'll avoid sharing screenshots and will simply communicate it via text since to prevent easily tracking down the ongoing leaks.

 https://image.nostr.build/17f7e488f9093601c0dff65bdb1274509a91d26362669decc0b006b39e132e58.jpg

Pixel 6 and later or the latest iPhones are the only devices where a random 6 digit PIN can't be brute forced in practice due to the secure element. Use a strong passphrase such as 6-8 diceware words for a user profile with data you need secured forever regardless of exploits.

Pixels are doing a bit better on the secure element front and iPhones are doing a bit better against OS exploitation, but not by much.

As always, this shows the importance of our auto-reboot feature which gets the data back at rest after a timer since the device was locked.

Our focus in this area is defending against exploitation long enough for auto-reboot to work. It's set to 18 hours since the device was locked by default, but users can set it as low as 10 minutes. Since around January, we massively improved security against these attacks.

By default, our recently added USB-C port control feature disallows new USB connections in AFU mode after the device is locked and fully disables USB data at a hardware level once there aren't active USB connections. Users can set it to also do this in BFU or even when unlocked.

Users with a high threat model can fully disable USB including USB-PD/charging while the OS is booted to only allow charging while powered off or booted into the fastboot/fastbootd/recovery/charging modes.

GrapheneOS on 8th gen Pixels is ideal due to hardware memory tagging.

Consent-based data extraction (FFS) is not in the scope of what we're trying to defend against beyond shipping our secure duress PIN/password implementation to replace insecure approaches via apps. Data users can backup is inherently obtainable with consent, which is nearly all.

Within the past 24 hours, there has been an attack on GrapheneOS across social media platforms misrepresenting consent-based data extraction as GrapheneOS being compromised/penetrated. The person doing it is pretending to be multiple people and falsely claiming we covered it up.

GrapheneOS is the only OS having success defending against these attacks. We could do more with a successful hardware partnership such as having encrypted memory with a per-boot key instead of relying on our kernel memory zeroing combined with auto-reboot and fastbootd zeroing.

New versions of iOS and Pixel OS often invalidate their existing exploits, but devices in AFU are stuck in AFU mode waiting for new exploits.

Random 6 digit PIN is only secure on a Pixel/iPhone and only due to secure element throttling. Use a strong passphrase to avoid this.

If you wonder why duress PIN/password is taking so long, it's because we aren't doing it for show like existing implementations. It needs to work properly and guarantee data will be unrecoverable with no way to interrupt it. Slowly rebooting to recovery to wipe isn't acceptable.

See https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1775305179581018286 for our thread covering the firmware improvements we helped get implemented in the April 2024 release for Pixels. It doesn't currently really help the stock Pixel OS because they haven't blocked the OS exploits that are being used yet but it helps us.

Our hope is that our upcoming 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature combined with a UI for random passphrase and PIN generation will encourage most users to use a 6-8 diceware word passphrase for primary unlock and fingerprint + random 6-digit PIN for convenient secondary unlock.

R. C. Sproul on inflation:

God instituted in the nation of Israel a law against the debasing of currency. In the ancient world, where gold and silver were used as a medium of exchange, sometimes unscrupulous people would “clip" a coin; they would clip off a tiny piece of gold from a gold coin and keep it for themselves. The result was that a coin of a certain face value, say, one hundred dollars, no longer contained one hundred dollars’ worth of gold. This was seen by God as a serious sin because it defrauded people in the enterprise of exchanging goods and services. So the biblical law against the debasement of currency is extremely clear and strong.

#Bitcoin    isn't the fraud Jamie. It's exists to put an end to the fraud.


The entire developed world tax apparatus that was built in the 20th century and extends into the 21st century depends on ubiquitous financial surveillance.

They are not going to give that up without a fight. I have been saying at a number of conferences and podcasts that privacy is the main battleground for the next decade.

Back in the 19th century and before, money was mostly private. There were plenty of dictators but there was no major method of surveilling all transactions. Therefore things like broad income taxes were untenable to enforce.

But in the 20th century as money increasingly moved around at the speed of light, people needed bank accounts to keep up. It wasn’t all forced on them; they chose it. And those bank accounts were centralized, surveillable, and ruggable.

This allowed authorities to switch to income taxes, which require ubiquitous financial surveillance to work. And ultimately it allowed them to switch to fiat currency altogether.

Now in the 21st century, Bitcoin and its various layers allow people to hold and move around money globally without permissioned banks. They can do so peer to peer, or they can do so with custodians and open layers, etc. Unlike the base layer of fiat, the base layer of bitcoin is permissionless.

But this represents a threat to the entire current system of taxation and financial control. If bitcoin and particularly various private methods on top of it were to be adopted at massive scale, the entire tax structure and other things would need to reshape themselves around that reality. And so they won’t make it easy; they will try to criminalize financial privacy as much as possible while the network is still pretty small.

The only solutions are to 1) make privacy tech so ubiquitous that it can’t be isolated and can spread organically in a distributed way and 2) to apply legal pressure when possible so that governments sort of have to operate within the bounds of their own law, like the 1st and 4th amendments.


In the 50s, our women laundered our money by hand 😅


Money used to be private by default.

Once it became widely surveilled in the 20th century, attempts to make money more private again were generally criminalized. nostr:note14csdgnum2xkte2d46n2ru6e30eshfvncldqf6vvnp88kj0xf5x3qfwsh7a

When Is The Social Security Trust Fund Running Out?

Bitcoin mining is bringing back small town America

https://youtube.com/shorts/hHwzccW_lM4?si=VpPDNC5_ROB-CksD

#bitcoin


what is coming soon.

We’re getting close to the main event that will define your entire life no matter where you live. The collapse of the US empire will create a tsunami everywhere, and where you live will determine the size of the wave you get hit with. The signs are present, yet the government in the US has removed all the fire alarms, signifying the event is closed. This is why all their data on all things economic are faked and have been revised over the last three years. Sovereigns are already unloading US debt around the world. Some of them are in massive fashion, which will keep inflation and interest rates high in the US, cratering real estate. Real Estate losses will be unbelievable for Americans, Europeans, Canadians, and Australians. US government treasury bonds are now a toxic asset everywhere in the world. This explains why Bitcoin made an All-time high before the halving of this cycle. That has never happened. Gold has even risen by 30% in the last six months. Money printing is all they have left to slow the bleeding of the economic slaves in the Western world. Few of you realize what the moves in those countries are signifying. The Ponzi scheme is over. Expect soaring inflation and a massive crash very, very soon. No one is coming to save you. You must act to save yourself with decentralized thinking.


The US Treasury continues trying to auction fresh bills, notes, and bonds at lower yields "because inflation is trending lower."

The stealth (never publicly discussed) hope is to let inflation run a little hot while issuing lower yielding Treasurys... which will help inflate away burgeoning US debt.

Buyers of US Treasurys continue not believing the narrative. Auctions are increasingly ugly (see nostr:npub1cj94enk44kn5mvrcma4sp7jnlsgnn4em7rk3dh3jt4fzyqs3m02s560efa and others' recent posts).

Federal Reserve intervention coming shortly, I think.

#QE next may be closer than some think.

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.

finally got a pretty major local rancher to become obsessed with #Bitcoin over the course of the last year.

whole staff now has btc denominated benefits. all the store locations and online shop will start accepting Bitcoin and putting it in cold storage as the company war chest. Can’t wait to release this announcement y’all are going to love their meat.

how did I do it? I shook their hands when shopping there, asked about their lives and over time invited each of them to grab lunch, or come to jiu jitsu, or go shooting now and then, and casually asked to pay in Bitcoin every week until they started inviting me to lunch specifically to learn about it. Not too pushy, no strings attached.

This is not a venture for me. It’s just love of community and trying being of service locally. Bottom up adoption.

Excited to announce the preview of Lightning Addresses for Mutiny+ users! No more invoice requests needed when paying friends by name directly on Mutiny Wallet.

https://m.primal.net/Hsbf.jpg

Providing Lightning Addresses to a non-custodial wallet can be challenging, as they require a web server and constant online presence. To solve this issue, we've integrated Federated Lightning Addresses!

https://m.primal.net/Hsbg.jpg

Inspired by Kody Low's Hermes project, our new feature uses ecash locked to your pubkey so only you can spend it when back online. Your wallet listens for DMs on nostr and unlocks tokens once received. Keep an eye out for a deeper dive soon!

To sign up: add a Federation, subscribe to Mutiny+, pick a unique Lightning Address name. Feedback appreciated as we stress test and work out kinks!

Thank you for your support in making this feature possible. We'll integrate it into the sign-up flow at a later time, open up randomly generated Lightning Addresses for everyone, and add more flexibility to change federations.

Enjoy your new payment experience on Mutiny Wallet!

Bitkey replied on my Twitter. It's a "secure MCU".

This is from https://www.ledger.com/ledger-101%25e2%2580%258a-%25e2%2580%258apart-2-why-hardware-wallets-are-secure

There are two types of microcontrollers:

the “normal” one used in your microwave, hobbyist drone or TV remote controller. It’s called a MicroController Unit or MCU in short.
the “secure” one used in payment cards, SIM cards or passports. It’s called a Secure Element or SE.

So it's just a microcomponentized computer.

nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m the shorts are ripe for the squeeze.  Shorts up over 20% of the float on 15 march and growing.  Fund managers talking shit to gain more support of other shorts.

F these guys play the retail game.  Announce a 100 to 1 stock split and another 10 to 1 split whenever the stock reaches $500 in perpetuity.  MSTR will be at $50 + the day the split goes into effect ($5000 presplit value) and head to $500 in the next year.

Get everyone's attention.  Squeeze the shit out of the shorts.  Get the market cap up to 100 billion.  Keep issuing more stock to buy more BTC.  The ruckus will get MSTR added to the S&P500 even faster.  The bigger the market cap once on the S&P500 the more free demand for the stock comes in from every passive investor.  That's an enormous amount of demand for nothing.

The stock market is broken because the money is broken.  Every schmuck no coiner trying to preserve his wealth the easiest way they know how dumps their cash into S&P500 funds.  Because the S&P500 is weighted to market cap so are the ETFs.  Once you balloon that market cap its a perpetual motion machine.  Passive investing is at an all time high and will only grow with every trillion the government prints out of thin air

There is a reason why the entire energy sector has the same market cap as Microsoft and Microsoft has a P/E around 40 and the entire  energy sector has a P/E under 10.  That's why we get the magnificent 7s of the world.  Not because they are that much better.  But because the masses see no better alternative than Passive investing.  Pumping the shit out of the heaviest weighted stocks.

The markets are broken.  We all know it.  You're playing 3d chess with your Bitcoin strategy.  It is time to up your game with the stock strategy.  You're still playing checkers.

PS. Get your bitcoin off of Coinbase before you get F'd over.

After the first halving, the price shrank to 10% of the high, or 90%. Subsequent halving's had the price shrink to 20% then 15%, then 20% from that cycle's highs.

My most conservative estimate is 15% down from this cycle high of 150k, at 22,500$. Others have suggested 40K or 50K bottom in the next bear cycle.

I'll probably be wrong. With the ETFs and the halving pumping the price to ridiculous levels, really a historic event for boitcoin. Either way it will be interesting.

Indian 🇮🇳 Bitcoiners have been talking about the recent event in India since yesterday.

I have never imagined that the current govt of India can go on to this limit to freeze the bank account of the opposition party and Media, Election Commission and Courts are silent.

When we hit 2021's all-time high, #Bitcoin    was a completely different asset than it is today.

In 2021, Bitcoin reached a blow-off top at $69,000 because of FOMO from retail investors.

This probably wouldn't have happened if we didn't have lockdowns.

Retail investors had money to throw around and made the smart decision to buy Bitcoin.

Some of these people studied what Bitcoin was and held through the longest bear market in Bitcoin's history from 2021-2022.

I'm pretty sure most institutional investors (smart money) weren't buying #Bitcoin    last time it was $60k+.

THIS TIME:

Someone has been buying 100 BTC 15-20x per day since the bottom in 2022.

This is no ordinary retail investor.

There are 10 Bitcoin ETFs.

Pension funds around the world are looking into this.

Nation-states have been accumulating.

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high OVER A MONTH before the halving.

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

Smart money is accumulating Bitcoin.

Dumb money is dismissing Bitcoin.

Most retail investors STILL have no clue that Blackrock is offering a Bitcoin ETF.

This time is different.

the “secure” one used in payment cards, SIM cards or passports. It’s called a Secure Element or SE.

So it's just a microcomponentized computer.

The value of limiting chatter with others - Tim May

https://groups.google.com/g/alt.cypherpunks/c/8fU395P7Orw/m/UCtlFOsoUfcJ

(Note: A long message, especially in this time of short, repartee,
chattering. I composed this here in my newsreader, not bothering with
using an outliner or even with running the text through any kind of
spell checker. Some things just need to be dashed-off, without too much
introspection and reworking.)
Recently I've gotten a few e-mails, anonymously sent, either urging me
to return to the CP list or thanking me for staying away and not giving
my "racist" opinions.
I sometimes look at the archived messages. I'm glad I never moved over
to the "Al Qaeda" list when the last of the earlier nodes went dark.
What I see is a very small base of posters, many of the same Eurotrash
lefties who had dominated the list in the last months of 2003. And
mostly just chatter: news snippets on minor security issues, the 2004
election, etc. In other words, a very low-volume list with several
opinionated lefties and geeks.
The list was exciting in 1992-94, got more oriented toward startups and
business opportunities in 1995-97, and then entered a period of
recycling the obvious after that (and after a bunch of formerly active
members were off trying to either start companies or save their
existing companies in the face of the dot com meltdown). Only one or
two significant contributors joined the list in the final few years
(one of them is now a grad student at Berkeley, the other I haven't
from in a few years). A few of the last to join the list were
especially clueless about even the basics.
There are several other lists I monitor. The capabilities lists,
including cap-talk and the E language lists, and the low-volume BitC
list (where they appear to be migrating to an ML-like language base,
which could be interesting, given that I've been using Haskell for the
past year or so and am positively encouraged about the connection
between security/containment issues and monads). I also follow the
Lambda the Ultimate blog site on a daily basis. And a few other groups.
Mostly, though, it is good to avoid joining one of these "communities."
These communities come in several different flavors.
The first flavor is the Slashdot flavor: lots of repetitious chatter
and repartee. Sort of a CP list with 2000 active posters instead of
fewer than a dozen active posters. The "one line repartee" is utterly
useless. I usually avoid these lists or sites, but my impression (from
when I dip into them) is that the very high volume and
repartee-oriented nature almost ensures a "current events" focus, so
the lists and sites are really just about people chattering about what
they read in the newspaper (of whatever kind or focus). The CP list is
mostly like this these last few years, albeit a very low daily volume.
The second flavor of community is the "ideological mission" kind,
whether formally adopting a mission statement (as with the Extropians
or Cryonicists) or just more-or-less adopting similar beliefs (as was
mostly the case with the Cypherpunk subscribers and attendees, circa
1992-96). Some of the language and developer lists are like this.
The third flavor of community is the "interest group" or "working
group," such as various language lists (such as the Haskell list and
Haskell Cafe list, which I follow via the archives). These are often
high volume lists, mainly made up of academics, researchers, the
languages principal developers, etc. Reports of new features, bugs,
pending releases, and "how do I do X?" tend to dominate.
(Usenet was much like this, especially in the late 1980s. Then the
obvious things happened. No need to get into this here. A few
newsgroups are still useful, such as comp.language.functional (for me,
with my current interests). I still post to a few other groups, but
mostly to vent or to attack leftie/PC/innumerate nonsense. Not much
effort is needed to make these posts, and they are entertaining to me.)
These types of communities change, and there are trajectories (maps)
from one type to another. The change in the CP list is a good example.

Anyway, I could digress on this for a while, but to what end?
The point is this: communities are islands which cause their members to
adapt their own interests to the dominant interests, or to change those
interests through argumentation.
"What have you done for the war effort today?" is the key meme. (Yes,
the Usual Suspect will probably write one of his faux-literate "er, um,
Tim, um, you _do_ realize, um, that the original was in German?")
A classic example from the CP list was the "how many lines of C have
you added?" put-down of anyone not "writing code." And yet, of 1000 or
so subscribers at one point, and of perhaps 100 who contributed most of
the postings, how many were actually writing any code at all? How much
of their code ever appeared in products, programs, tools, etc.?
Obviously not much, given the current state of things in crypto and
financial cryptography.
I have resisted the temptation to join the Cap-talk list because I know
that the adaptation meme would strongly pull me toward "helping with
the effort." This is natural, as these are the people in the community.
It's very similar to what happens when people join a company or a
sports team: the goals of the organization become one's own goals.
(Which is sort of the point of being hired by a company or team!)
Sometimes people join a list or a community but don't "support" the
goals fully. If they are polite and academic about it, they may fall
into the role of the "resident skeptic," whether about the nature of
capabilities, or the need for a new language, or the value of anonymous
transactions. If they are less polite, they may vocally defend their
non-support. Sometimes, as with Detweiler and Vulis and a few others,
this is pretty disruptive. (Which sometimes triggers calls for
"moderators" to approve or disapprove posts, etc.)
And becoming a team player, a supporter, may not be best for a
contributor. Instead of going his own way, he spends valuable time
defending the approach of the group. Further, the approach already
favored by the group constrains certain approaches. (For example,
someone with some new ideas about domain naming and pricing may not
find the ICANN working groups or lists very hospitable to useful to be
in. Or someone with developing ideas about an approach to AI may not
find a neural net or machine learning list a good place to be, both
because of hostile reception, the "help the war effort" pressures, and
the time wasted in reading other opinions and in defenses of opinions.
The fact is, "communication" with others is often over-rated.
Personally, when I think of the most significant things I ever did,
they had little to do with communicating with others. The communication
tended to come after the key ideas, even the key experiments, were
done. Most casual communication in the hallways of Intel, where I once
worked and did some of my best work, were of the "gossip" sort. Lunch,
vending machine chatter. Sure, sometimes people wrote on blackboards
and had ad hoc seminars in the hallways, but this happened a lot less
than might be thought. The Thomas Watson Research Center at IBM, in
Yorktown Heights, was famous for building its office and hallways so
that whiteboards and ad hoc conference areas were ubiquitous. And yet
most of the best work that came out of that place was the work of
individuals deep in thought (from my visits to the place, from talking
to people, and from what I know of the work habits of some of the key
people there).
Some types of communication _are_ fruitful. One example of relevance to
this list is the story of how Eric Hughes visited my place in 1972,
ostensibly to look for a place to rent. He had just returned from
several months working at David Chaum's operation in Amsterdam, and I
had spent several years working on the implications of strong
cryptography (anonymous remailers, Blacknet, data havens, digital cash,
etc.). He stayed in a spare bedroom at my place for three days...and
ended up doing no apartment or home rental searching. Instead, we
talked about logic, number theory, the long-term implications of strong
cryptography, the "essence" of why digital money works, and areas
likely to become important (this is when I first had the vague
glimmerings about category theory, for example, but I didn't pursue it
at the time).
I had made hundreds of pages of notes about "crypto anarchy,"
developing some of the consequences of strong crypto. Many of them came
to pass...I even made a few bucks investing in some of them.
The point is that this communication was very fruitful. It set both
Eric and myself on paths which lasted for a bunch of years. He
suggested we have a seminar and communicate some of our conclusions to
a group of our friends (mostly that we knew through the Hackers
Conference and various Bay Area circles). We put together a list of
about 30 people, with a little more than 20 showing up for our
August/September gathering in Oakland, at Eric's newly-rented house.
The morning was spent on tutorials about public key encryption, the
basics of RSA, and some of the notions like "bit comittment" (tossing a
coin and covering it, but doing it digitally and irrevocably, using
crypto protocols), "blinding" (the essence of David Chaum's system),
and several other "building blocks" for a future where bits and bytes
were more important than bricks and mortar.
The afternoon was spent doing a simulation, a kind of war-game, which I
called "the crypto anarchy game." Using simulations (paper cards)
representing digital money, buyers and sellers set up markets in things
like "B-2 bomber blueprints for sale" and "Merck's newest drug release
date" information. (If the motivation for this is unclear, much has
been written about this stuff. Consult Google on Blacknet, information
markets, untraceable assassination markets, etc., or consult books like
"Building in Big Brother," Levy's "Crypto," Kelly's "Out of Control,"
etc.
While flawed and unrealistic in obvious ways, this "game" put a picture
in the minds of participants about how, with some work on the building
blocks, there was really no reason this world could not be made real.
(In category theory terms, one would say that the parts of the game
were categories (objects with arrows or morphisms), the playing or
behavior of the game formed various functors (mappings from one
category to another), and that the realization that a real world
version (functor, broadly speaking) was a "natural transformation" from
the game we had played into the real world.
A result of this first physical meeting was the formation of the
mailing list and the start of a series of monthly meetings, held
essentially continually from October 1992 to around late 2002 (I held a
meeting at my house and 50 people crammed in). And at one point there
were similar meetings in other cities....I will never forget a 3-site
linkup between Mountain View (us), Cambridge (Mass.), and Northern
Virgina, with the conference call DES-encrypted...this must have been
around mid-1994. Hugh Daniel helped make this happen (as he did with
the mailing list itself). Jude Milhon joking referred to us as a bunch
of "cypherpunks," and the name stuck.
To recap this section, the intense communication between Eric and
myself caused a lot of ideas to coalesce, and a course of action to be
taken. This "movement," or meme, had a lot of momentum for most of the
90s. It came at a fortuitous time, of course. The controversy about
Clipper and key escrow, the issue of NSA surveillance and Echelon, the
arrival of PGP (Version 2.0, the first reasonably robust version, had
arrived the same month we met at Eric's house, in August/September.
Some of the attendees worked with "Mondo 2000," formerly "Reality
Hackers," and "Wired" was about to be launched. Kevin Kelly, whom
several of us knew from other circles (the Artificial Life Conference,
Bay Area events), wanted to do an article on our group. He arranged for
a photographer, with Steven Levy (author of "Hackers") to write an
article. This appeared in the second issue of "Wired," in early 2003,
and generated a large increase in list subscriptions, more press
attention, and more attendees at meetings.
But all was not well, of course. Work on the core building blocks was
slow in coming, many of the algorithms were patented (RSA, blinding,
etc.). I did a version of Blacknet in 1993 which actually worked,
modulo the fact that no actual payment system existed, except in trades
of information. Still, it worked. And got the attention of the security
apparatus, which deemed it a threat to the security of the national
labs like Los Alamos and Oak Ridge.
By the mid-90s, several of our group had formed companies. Sameer
Parekh's Community Connection morphed into C2Net, then got funding,
then hired a dozen or so list members, then morphed in other ways (and
eventually was acquired by Red Hat, as I recall). Lance Cottrell formed
his Anonymizer nym company. Several people worked for Phil at PGP,
quickly acquired by a large company, then folded, and since reborn
again with some of the same people. And Zero Knowledge formed in
Canada, hiring several people closely associated with the list.
But my purpose here is not to reminisce about the glory days. Life
moves on. A few people made some substantial amounts of money on crypto
software, many did not, and most who had been active in corporate
crypto did not choose to return to the CP list as their main forum for
discussion. Which is not too surprising.
Meanwhile, the list was increasingly oriented toward gossip and chatter
about current events...the events of 9/11, for example, had a
predictable effect on themes. Surveillance technology, TEMPEST, RFID,
all this kind of stuff gets talked about ad nauseum.
Me, I'm glad to be out of the day to day chatter. I am glad to not
argue with Eurotrash lefties about capitalism, I am glad to not
struggle to correct the misapprehensions of people who haven't even
bothered to figure out why blinding works the way it does ("but, um,
with powerful enough computers they can figure out who spent it, no?",
and most of all I am glad to be able to to research and think about
what I think is important without carping along the lines of "so, how
much C code have you written this month?"
I outlined the rough focus of my efforts in some long messages to the
list in mid-2002. Some of the emphasis has shifted. I'll say more when
I want to. (Not getting committed to a position is really another way
of making the point about avoiding communities.)
However, for the curious, I'll mention a few general and a few specific
road markers along this "I took the road less taken" path:
* Logic. Not the kind of simple Aristotelian or Boolean logic so often
dismissed as obvious. Rather, how lattices and posets generate Heyting
and other kinds of logics. Modal logic. Constructive logic, and how
this relates to financial cryptography.
* Belief systems. How reputation works, as a set of beliefs ("Alice is
trustworthy," "The Bank of America will not steal my savings account
money," "This financial note is worth 98% of its face value."). This is
much more than Dempster-Shafer belief propagation (aka Bayesian
networks). This is the world of toposes, of constructive logic, of
Kripke's "possible worlds" semantics, of category theory.
* Which brings me to category theory. Again, I wrote quite a bit about
this in mid-2002. Since then, I have of course learned more. I see it
as the unifying language to more clearly state problems and assumptions
in security theory, cryptography (the logic and security part, not the
more pure number theory part, which is just a building block for the
bigger picture), and in the nature of money and financial instruments.
(For a puzzler, a koan, what is the connection between the Curry-Howard
isomorphism and why money "works"?)
* Haskell. Eric and I had talked about ML many years ago, as it was
being used for "theorem-proving systems" and "provably-correct
designs," a la the Viper processor, proofs about some chip systems,
etc. We both thought, in 1992, that this would ultimately be important
for financial cryptography (a complex system where the smallest of
imperfections or "holes" can drain a digital system in catastrophic
ways). In the late 90s I thought that OO systems, such as Smalltalk,
would be useful, but I came to doubt this. So I looked again at ML-type
languages, especially OCaml (which some Cypherpunks have worked on,
including Damien G., the young French man who cracked a cipher
challenge in the mid-90s). Then I got interested in the role of lazy
evaluation (call-by-need, more generally) in belief systems, and turned
to Haskell, a purely functional (with side effects limited), lazy,
mathematical syntax language which was designed by a group of very
bright people to be a platform for work on these ideas.
(The role of laziness is debated by some. Non-lazy languages can
simulate it, via promises and futures, as in versions of Scheme. The
use in belief systems comes through the need for not computing or
evaluating everything that could conceivably be evaluated, but only
just enough. A kind of belief system version of the frame problem in
AI, for which laziness and possible worlds is ideally suited.)
* And so on, with excursions into Stone spaces, algebraic topology
(mainly via category theory), and "topology via logic," as in Stephen
Vick's wonderful book of the same title.
Do I expect this stuff to lead to some kind of "Tim's Digital Money
Bank"? No. But will it lead to my own better understanding of what
capabilities really are, or what containment really is, or why and how
people believe certain things based on evidence? Yes, I already see a
clearer and more unifying view of the ontology of these things.
Marvin Minsky once said that mmost of the work in AI is about various
researchers and groups giving new names to the things other people have
already found. I think this describes the security (and financial
cryptography area, which it functorially related to) area precisely. A
lot of security papers are filled with neologisms and vague word
problem arguments. The whole security and financial cryptography field
is crying out for a rigorous, category-theoretic analysis. Then the
theorems already proved, theorems about transitivity (of trust, for
instance), about commutativty of diagrams, about pushouts and pullbacks
and adjoint functors, and so on, can all be used.
This echoes/parallels (different metaphors for what is essentially a
natural transformation) a point that Philip Wadler has made about
"stealing" the best ideas out of math, logic, and category theory and
using them in programming. His paper, "From Frege to Godel" (umlaut as
desired, Google for his name and the words in the title), makes this
point persuasively. As he puts it, often computer scientists have
discovered things in programming languages...and found the
mathematicians had gotten there first. Example include Curry and
Howard, Hindley and Milner, and Moggi's idea that the abstract idea of
a monad from category theory could solve some thorny problems with side
effects in programming. Wadler took Moggi's ideas, made them work in
the context of Haskell, and now monads are at the core of Haskell.
"Theorems for free" is another of his papers, and makes the same kind
of point.
And this way of looking at things points to why scalar and even vector
reputation-based systems are so deeply flawed. There is no "authority"
for setting belief values, only sets of propositions. And if
propositions are programs, if propositions are types, then the ontology
of the world is NOT a top-down, object-oriented hierarchy.
Rather, truth is built constructively, by Brouwer's "creating subject."
The natural logic of computer programming is NOT Boolean logic, though
individual circuits will of course by Boolean (for reasons I won't get
into now). Instead, the natural logic of computer programming is topos
logic, or "intuitionistic logic" (don't be knee-jerked into thinking
this has do with ESP or newage mysticism). We operate in the effective
topos.
Whether I believe, and to what extent, that Alice will pay me back on a
loan I made to her is partly-dependent on what others have said about
her "reputation" on such matters (but not conclusively, as they may be
part of a confidence game with her). And it is partly based on what I
believe about where she lives and what her birth or official name is
(but not soley, for obvious reasons). And it is partly based on my
beliefs about what I believe _she_ believes. In fact, we need to
replace the lattice of statements about "actual facts" with a parallel
(those darned natural transformations again!) lattice where "is
believed to be the case that" replaces many of the alleged facts. And
in this view, the "Aristotelian" fact that "A or Not-A," or "Alice will
either pay me back or she won't" is of little interest. Operationally,
all I the creating subject, moving through time and through a lattice
of events and established facts (proved facts, obtained or measured,
tangibly) can say is this:
"Yes, Aristotelian logic applies in the sense that a year from now, I
will know and the world will presumably all agree on the "fact" that
either Alice paid me back when the money is due, next month, or that
she didn't. But this is of no import RIGHT NOW, because we live in a
constructive world, a world of uncovering new facts. We live in a world
where Heyting logic applies, not Boolean logic."
(Beliefs about possible futures, even the largely ill-formed "THE
future," are the basis for our actions, our plans. And for why we
believe with 99.99% degree of belief that a twenty dollar bill will
actually be accepted by a merchant for some physical objects. The fact
that the bill is hard to duplicate (relatively hard, or with harsh
penalties believed by the duplicators to be a risk not worth taking),
the fact that most of us go our entire lives with twenty dollar bills
always being accepted, and so on, form a set of propositions which we
believe to some extent. This is where the "value of money" comes from,
not from naively-based "reputation networks" (with ill-formed
transitivity relations) or from top-down (Boolean) pronouncements.)
Lee Smolin, whose "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity" I commented on at
length in a long article to the CP list in mid-2002, makes this point
about the likely role of intuitionistic, or topos, logic in the
explication of ordinary human and financial dealings. Google on these
terms and readers can find my article on this.
Combine this with category theory for rigor and for "theorems for
free," and with the Curry-Howard isomorphism (that propositions are
types, that programs are proofs, that _constructing_ something is how
we prove many things), and mix in some of the work on evolutionary
epistemology (Popper, Bartley, Hayek), and we have a solid foundation
for realizing why and how money works, why and how trust works, and why
and how security works.
And since Haskell and other functional languages tend to produce
"executable specifications," with runnable code (efficiently
compilable) looking isomorphic to formal specfications, the prospects
for building stable, hole-free security and financial cryptography apps
are intriguing.
So, this is what I have been doing. And I am happy not to have any
"followers," not to have plant stakes or flags in the ground and then
defend them against yahoos (Trademark of the Yahoo Corporation) or
trolls or just the idly curious who won't even take the time to read
Lawvere and Schanuel's "Conceptual Mathematics" or other intros to the
basic ideas.
I doubt that these interests will ever "align with the other planets"
in the way some of my crypto interests aligned with the planets of
Clippe, the Web, the interest in online transactions, and the whole
debate about privacy and security in the 1990s. That was a time of
ferment, of proposed legislation, of vastly increased degrees of
freedom.
It would be nice if there were some smart people to talk to these
ideas about. I've found a few, including some former list subscribers
(PH, others.) A pity Eric Hughes is off in Utah, not active on any
lists that I can see. The cap-talk and E folks are very bright, and I
may end up over there someday....for now I avoid it for the reasons I
mentioned, the tendency to have their particular causes siphon creative
energy away from my deeper interests.
This is what I have been doing, and what I am interested in doing.
Comments welcome, but don't count on my replying.

ok, great idea. I've seen one dev using ws://local.ip.address in a screenshot.

But I guess that depends on the clients recognizing that it's a non ssl websocket server.

I changed mine to disable background data usage (although it only used 20 MB of background data) and the power usage from activity-based to optimized. It used 40% of the battery! But I don't think these changes will help much. It's the a version that didn't gobble up so much data?

I also asked some nostr devs about an interapplication nostr cache, if that's even possible on Android due to its security model.

NEW NOSTR CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT:

ONOSENDAI オノセンダイ
a cyberspace client for the one true metaverse: nostr

🌌 https://onosendai.tech 🌌 (hint: in alpha. desktop/android works best right now)

ONOSENDAI visualizes objects on the nostr protocol in an interactive 3D world referred to as 'cyberspace'.

⚡ Semantic Coordinate System (✅)

Each nostr note (kind 1) is assigned a 3D point in cyberspace based on the _meaning_ of its content using a 256-bit simhash. This unbiased algorithm maps all notes to a 3D universe you can explore.

⚡ Proof of Work for Localization of Constructs (wip🛠)

Placing 3D objects in Cyberspace is a self-evident necessity. Kind 10333 notes may be published with content set to a common 3D format to create public 3D visualizations. Proof of work can be utilized to mine the event ID hash which determines the coordinate location. Proof of work is the only way to claim cyberspace real estate.

⚡ Presence (wip🛠)

Ephemeral events could be used to *optionally* share your current position in cyberspace so that other users can visualize your movement and interact with you.

💡 Rationale

Cyberspace (in this context) is an early-internet trope from the 80s. It's an enthusiastic and naive speculation on the future of network-connected computers and how humans might use them. Ultimately, instead of interacting in 3D virtual spaces, humans ended up interacting via documents in web browsers which is much more practical and efficient than 3D visualizations.

Besides the problem of visualizing content, there are several more critical problems with the concept of cyberspace that are rarely (if ever) addressed in fiction:

- Who hosts it?
- Who decides how it looks?
- Who owns the content?
- Who makes the rules?
- Who assigns the space?
- Who controls it?

These questions are answered satisfactorily in the era of bitcoin and nostr:

- Who hosts it? nostr relays
- Who decides how it looks? nostr clients like ONOSENDAI
- Who owns the content? users cryptographically own their content
- Who makes the rules? open source consensus
- Who assigns the space? an impartial algorithm + proof of work
- Who controls it? 🖕NOBODY🖕

In my opinion, it is only in the context of bitcoin and nostr that something like cyberspace could make sense. Without the decentralized properties of nostr and bitcoin, cyberspace is just another 3D game owned by a company. However, when cyberspace is decentralized, enforces property rights, responds to proof of work, and enables instant value transfer, it becomes something entirely different.

Because cyberspace inherits all of these unique properties from nostr and because value transfer can be executed in cyberspace through bitcoin lightning, I argue that it is time for humanity to take another look at this dusty old concept and start exploring it with renewed interest.

I, unlike many metaverse enthusiasts, have a strong moral preference for reality over illusion. The idealized metaverse or cyberspace worlds that Meta and the like want to build are nothing more than a drug used to extract resources from miserable VR-goggled souls. That is the fiat version of cyberspace and it sucks. I am not interested in building clever simulations that seek to replace reality. I want to build tools that enable people to connect and be more productive. I want to open up new channels for communication, innovation, and human flourishing in reality.

Cyberspace is a new way to visualize the new paradigm for digital communication and property. It is wholly based around cryptography and digital ownership. If not for these things, cyberspace would be irrelevant.

A cyberspace built on decentralized protocols and sound money — nostr and bitcoin — has the potential to be something innovative, healthy, and ultimately productive for humanity. Cyberspace can be something where wealth is not extracted but rather generated by work and free markets. Cyberspace could be a new medium of connection built on sound principles that can enable humanity to do new things not previously dreamed of.

If it were not for the profound inventions of bitcoin and nostr, these aspirations would be nothing but ludicrous and delusional. In fact, any metaverse or cyberspace built outside of the context of bitcoin and nostr are delusional at best and Machiavellian at worst. Spoiler: it's the latter in most cases. But we have the opportunity to build something better. We have the winning hand. Let's make it happen.

If you load the same key and the correct path into different wallets, and it properly generates a new address for every transaction, would the two wallets generate the same address in a sequential fashion? Or could it conceivably sit there for years, searching through billions of addresses?

If AI is so great then why am I still filling out forms and tax returns?


100%. A big part of the hardware wallet industry is definitely based on sales due to fear of losing money. Especially Ledger.

I'm comfortable with using amounts of $1,000 on a hot wallet  but that's because I'm a security conscious user.


You can do this with an offline computer running those bip39 webpages saved locally. Or you can poke around GitHub and find Python scripts that also do this offline.

Corporates, endowments, hedge funds, insurance portfolios, sovereign wealth funds (Qatar); they’re all coming. This isn’t your typical retail cycle.

consider what happened with the gold ETF when they went live: When the Gold ETF got approved they increased the supply to get more gold to the market. The demand for Bitcoin is NOW going parabolic, and meanwhile the supply will be cut in half in 44 days. Humans have not seen this before. They think in a linear fashion and do not understand log math.

So also the hardware wallets have a security chip which has been proven to generate a key that is random. Although there are some who are paranoid about even those chips being "random enough" and those people generate their phrase using dice and the diceware lookup table. The seed phrase is just a friendly way of representing the actual 256 bit hexadecimal string which Bitcoin core actually uses.


The keys stay on the hardware wallet, the transaction is just sending a message that was signed using the keys stored on the wallet. It's the same general flow whether it's a partially signed Bitcoin transaction from a cold card transferred via micro SD to a computer or a Ledger or trezor which connects directly to the computer..


does Gensler have a stake in the ethereum foundation?


You don't *unless* you are doing on chain transfers, or you want to receive funds on a unique address. You're right in that hardware wallets are a redundancy IE if the metal is lost or hard drives fail.

I would say that Metal backups are more indestructible, but they need different security.


you can do it with dice and the dice ware lookup table.

The odd part is the bank doesn't even contact you to ask if the transaction should go through. They just stop it. But these banks never stop any NSF (non sufficient fund) fees. Well, the good ones will stop NSF debits, but you have to tell them every few years to do so.
