Saylor likes the attention so if he doesn't get asked to speak at conferences, he'll capitulate


The latest paper by two "mainstream economists" working for the ECB has basically been predicted in 1988 already.

"The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration."

It's once again mind-blowing how visionary the original cypherpunks were.

So instead of falling asleep over the ECB paper, read this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/timothy-c-may-crypto-anarchist-manifesto

Re Peter Todd HBO documentary

Satoshi was a hacker in the original true sense. He built something amazing that no one else had done before, and he did it for the sheer pleasure of hacking it. Others came along and cleaned up the code while not changing the original architecture.

Satoshi Nakamoto wrote code that was not usual. He had many quirks. We can find him by comparing his code with others, but no one did that yet.

When I first saw their code, I thought "Satoshi is not a programmer" because of how weird it was. He didn't follow normal code practices that were modern at that time.

He made big use of locks when it was out of fashion. He used Hungarian notation which was no longer used. He made spaghetti function recursion and never used objects to encapsulate processes. He also targeted Windows.

All of this indicate an older person, possibly not a software dev but from a close domain like engineering or physics. His whitepaper hinted at a background with a practical focus but not a mathematician.

The code was highly idiosyncratic and personal including the style itself. Analysis of the code will tell us everything.

You can even compare the code from 2008 with the code in 2010, and the way Satoshi writes code doesn't change. You can actually see the change from proof of concept to hacked up Satoshi node.

Whenever anyone says X is Satoshi, my first response is always "show me the code". This should be our default position.

But no Bitcoin coder (including myself) cares enough to do this. We're all so busy with real work. And I guess we also respect Satoshi-kun's wishes. Even writing this post showing how we can find him feels almost like a betrayal.

To be fair to Peter Todd, he handled it well and didn't try to claim undue credit.

B - Beginner - with simple guides for new users, how to start, general terms and steps to follow
C - Wallets - with specific guides about wallets, security, privacy
D - Nodes - with specific guides, more advanced for running LN nodes and other solutions for nodes
E - Merchants - advanced solution guides for those merchants that want to use Bitcoin in their business

Slowly all guides from DarthCoin Substack will be migrated on this new repository page, for an easy find for the guide you need. Substack became quite hard to use and look for a specific guide, so I hope this new page will help you find what you need.

The guides also will be translated in other languages. Right now there are links to all languages, but redirect to old substack links.
All guides in the Substack will remain the same, in their place, will not be deleted, but some of them maybe will not be updated anymore.

> "The Founding Fathers rebelled against the British Empire because they were taxed [roughly 1%](https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/colonial-life-today/early-american-economics-facts) of their incomes without proper representation in Parliament.  Can you imagine how they would respond to a punitive Leviathan that confiscated 50% of their wealth through a smorgasbord of taxes and regulations?  Or what they would say to a snooping trespasser who tried to tell them what they could and could not do with the watering holes on their family farms?  Or how they might react to a stranger who felt up their wives and daughters in the name of “security”?  Whoah, Nelly!  The men who declared independence from government tyranny and fought a costly war for personal liberty would burn the Deep State to the ground and drive its ashes right into the sea!"

The Social Security Administration expects their reserves to run out in 2035.

That’s a different pile of money than most other government functions, and so without either tax increases or legislation that transfers other money to it, payments going out to retirees could actually be cut after that due to not enough income flowing in.

I’m not sure what they’ll do at that point since we don’t even know what things will look like then, but basically 2035 is the next station to see if the train keeps going or not.

This drawdown will represent “intergovernmental” public debt turning into public debt held by either the private sector, foreign sector, or central bank.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons 🔫

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇

https://image.nostr.build/a2fdf9026e54b6b1da842627fb5b8c4bd194211838d838b3c0d791eb5db65441.jpg

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

https://image.nostr.build/ddaac81e9555922d2c8940c90ccbc8f37c6f4e1b987a79282a8324377d0e1724.png

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% 📉

https://image.nostr.build/4fd9c942150d77ed2c032af07f7d6f785b35ec52806f9c76a523398a6fad93a7.png

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

https://image.nostr.build/eb9746cf073e54a643de3c70767aee6aa0be09634ae9af0578b67d5c902892c6.png

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

https://image.nostr.build/93ff5fc270a0569fd2b314e37b46d713b868279b95d830f906c0ecfb3a633cd1.png

In recent months, there have been reports of FGC9s in use in Myanmar.

FGC9 is one of the most popular models of self-made firearms.

FGC = Fuck Gun Control

But it is certainly possible to...

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing 🇨🇳

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

https://image.nostr.build/56c5705a1c8f1e73685767d2b059cdf38d9002029369c667c4ce246a9090e595.png

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

But in March of this year, Beijing lost its patience.

Hold on to this:

😳 44,000 CHINESE were in Myanmar as "slaves"...

https://image.nostr.build/faa92bf49b76a74367313ae9dc701a20800fef77c00a74676e9003f557211332.png

...and they were finally discovered and "returned."

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

This is a scam center on the border with Thailand, packed with Chinese workers, scamming people worldwide 👇

You’ve probably been targeted by some online profile trying to scam you, operated by one of the THOUSANDS of trafficked Chinese people working in centers like this.

Nuclear, Bitcoin, local DC power

If I were in the position of power in a Nation the first thing I would do is invest and build a fleet of thorium nuclear reactors and place them in places not developed and then I would be cities around them using DC electric current. I would them build a world class business selling the radionuclides to countries who use centralized medicial ideas in oncology to build a billion dollar revenue stream.  With other parts of the money I would build incandescent bulb factories to power my cities and sell them to the rest of the public online.

The next step is I would embrace Ultrafast light technologies to neutralize the small amount of remaining waste. I would build the worlds best industry to use ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse amplification (CPA) to limit radiation risk via transmutation.  This is a new industry and it likely will be worth trillions in a Bitcoin dominated world that will develop after November 5, 2024.

When you add in the development of
high-fluence laser materials you begin to realize it has opened up an entirely new fields of optics that will have major impacts on the global economy when they realize the flawed ideas in the WEF/Trilateral committee krewe is a huge business opportunity.

CPA laser's exhibit stunning capabilities when it comes to radiation transmutation----->The radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel may be reduced from the level of no re-processed case by about 1000 times if we transmute the spent fuel.   @nayibbukele

This is why a substantial benefit may be gained by the transmutation.  Look up and research the Nobel speech of G. Mourou if you are interested.  I have covered this idea in my Kruse for Dummies lecture.

How to Buy Treasury Bills
Treasury bills (T-bills) are a safe and popular investment option backed by the U.S. government. Here are two primary ways to purchase them:
1. Directly from the Treasury Department (TreasuryDirect)
 * Advantages: No fees, maximum control over your investment.
 * Disadvantages: Can be more time-consuming to set up and manage.
To buy T-bills directly from the Treasury Department, you'll need to create a TreasuryDirect account. You can then participate in auctions for new T-bills or purchase existing ones in the secondary market.
Steps:
 * Create a TreasuryDirect account: Visit TreasuryDirect.gov to start the process.
 * Link your bank account: You'll need to verify your bank account for purchasing and redeeming T-bills.
 * Participate in auctions: You can place bids for new T-bills during auctions.
 * Purchase in the secondary market: You can buy existing T-bills from other investors through TreasuryDirect.
2. Through a Brokerage Firm
 * Advantages: Convenient, offers a wider range of investment options.
 * Disadvantages: Typically involves fees.
Many brokerage firms allow you to buy and sell T-bills. This can be a simpler option if you already have an account with a brokerage.
Steps:
 * Open a brokerage account: If you don't have one already, open an account with a reputable brokerage firm.
 * Place a T-bill order: You can usually purchase T-bills through the firm's online platform or by contacting your broker.
 * Pay for the T-bills: The funds will be withdrawn from your brokerage account.
Important Considerations:
 * Minimum investment: T-bill minimums vary depending on the purchase method.
 * Fees: While TreasuryDirect is fee-free, brokerage firms typically charge fees for T-bill purchases.
 * Maturity: T-bills have different maturity terms, ranging from a few weeks to a year.
 * Risk: T-bills are considered one of the safest investments, but their value can fluctuate slightly before maturity.
Additional Tips:
 * Research: Understand the different types of T-bills and their interest rates before investing.
 * Diversification: Consider including T-bills as part of a diversified investment portfolio.
 * Tax implications: Be aware of the tax implications of owning T-bills.
By carefully considering these factors, you can make informed decisions about purchasing Treasury bills to meet your financial goals.

The password is easy


from the cryptography mailing list

The introduction https://strobe.sourceforge.io/papers/strobe-latest.pdf
is well worth reading.

It seems that it is possible to implement secure communication protocols
with a very limited number of operations (10 different core functions)
and 4 bits of flags all based on one STROBE primitive (KECCAK-f).
The interesting part is the fact that while the protocol for information
exchange moves on, a transcript of past stages is recorded that affects
future operations.

  "Strobe maintains a running hash of the protocol transcript,
   which is the sequence of all operations and their data as seen
   by the application layer."

The inclusion of these transcripts in subsequent operations clearly helps
to ensure, that the protocol develops as expected. Though it also
imposes limitations to what the protocol can achieve. The paper claims
that TLS can be implemented based on minimal STROBE operations.

While the implementation is targeted on IoT systems with limited computation
powers, this idea is IMHO quite interesting and promising.

In recent months, more and more Android Bitcoin wallets started using Baseline Profiles and while it sounds benign what it does, I do get a bit nervous about these when they are not reproducible.

# Background

At WalletScrutiny we check for reproducibility of Bitcoin wallets and used to allow signatures that were for obvious reasons not reproducible. And on Android, apps are zipped, so the whole zip file containing the signature was not reproducible neither, so we considered only the content of the zip except for the signature part.

Then Android started App Bundles, making a different set of files for different users, making our life more difficult as we now had to test multiple files per version of a wallet but also ... Google decided to need some more garbage in these app files. It's a small, usually single digit number that is not derived from the source code but apparently results from how Google distributes these binaries. Fair enough, this is out of the app providers' hands. We call it reproducible. The supposed benefit of App Bundles is that users only need to download what they actually need and not for example translations for foreign languages or icons for higher resolution screens. But App Bundles require to hand over the release signing keys to Google but that's another story.

But Android also introduced "Baseline Profiles" at some point. To my understanding, these tell the compiler which app use to assume so the compiler can optimize for that exact code path. 30% faster apps are being promised. Sounds great but we now see reproducibility issues in the baseline profiles and wonder if that is generally benign.

# Question

Could a specially crafted baseline profile

A) Delay sources of high entropy such that some benign looking function mixEntropy(getGoodEnt(), getBadEnt()) would end up using only bad entropy in a way that an auditor would consider the getGoodEnt() returning zero to be a ridiculously irrelevant edge case?

B) Efficiently leak previously generated strong keys?

Here's my full main-stage keynote from Nashville

It was spread across two days, so that's why I change halfway through 😂

51 minutes but I worked hard to carefully consider each minute

The talk is packed with lessons and examples that I have learned and seen across my entire career of people using Bitcoin to change the world in the most unlikely of places

I walk through how Bitcoin is a revolution for commerce, freedom, and electric power, citing dozens of examples in each case

This one is for every single person who has ever said Bitcoin is useless, just as much is as it's for every person who is curious about Bitcoin and wants to know more

Most people know that Bitcoin is a great savings technology, which is of course its primary use case, but I don't dwell on that

Here we get into everything else it does

No price talk, all utility

Hope this helps

Tim Walz Signed a Bill Redefining the Term "Sexual Orientation" to INCLUDE PEDOPHILES.

On 02/13/2023, Leigh Finke, a trans identified male,  Introduced H. F. No. 1655, which redefined "Sexual Orientation."

Link to the amendment: https://revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF1655&version=0&session=ls93&session_year=2023&session_number=0&format=pdf

In this amendment, Finke CROSSED OUT  the section that expressly precluded pedophiles from falling under the definition of "Sexual orientation."

In the old bill, the definition "Sexual orientation" delineated which people were were protected under the Minnesota Human Rights Statute, making it a violation to discriminate against those falling under that definition. This old definition EXPLICITLY EXCLUDED  pedophiles through the addition of this phrase to the definition: "Sexual orientation" does not include a physical 1.20 or sexual attachment to children by an adult.

The bill then passed the committee was adopted.

Link to Minutes: https://house.mn.gov/Committees/minutes/93015/90275

Link to the video stream of the hearing: https://house.mn.gov/hjvid/93/896506

The amendment to 2022 c 52 art 19 s 44, (yes, this includes the section crossing out the pedophile exclusion), is characterized by Finke in the committee hearing as "modernizing" the terminology to reflect more contemporary understandings of sexual orientation and gender.

They think including pedophiles under the umbrella of "Sexual orientation" reflects a "modern understanding of sexuality and gender."

The most disturbing part of this bill, is that it went through MULTIPLE revisions, and in EVERY. SINGLE. REVISION., they kept the pedophile exclusion crossed out.

Link to the final changes to the bill: https://revisor.mn.gov/laws/2023/0/52/#laws.19.46.0

🚀 Introducing Nutsack 0.1!

nutsack.me -- Don't load too much money; this is highly experimental!

A NIP-60/61 nostr client.

This is a wallet that lives in nostr and is can be accessed from any nostr client that chooses to implement it.

Nutzaps are OPT-IN -- if you don't opt-in to nutzaps, a NIP-60/61 client that zaps you would just do a LN NIP-57 payment; it would just be paying from ecash but you would receive it on your LN wallet.

With these two NIPs we'll get a few cool things:
* unified balance across your apps
* pocket-change that follows you around
* new users are immediately zappable 🤯
* verifiable nutzaps
* faster zaps and zaps that can't go missing

and so much more cool stuff; just watch the video and let your mind wander with the possibilities...

DR CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT IS NOT SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
On 20 May 2024, Dr Craig Steven Wright was found by the High Court of England and Wales to have been dishonest in his claims to have been the person behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of Bitcoin).

The Court found that Dr Wright “lied to the Court extensively and repeatedly” in his evidence and that he attempted to create a false narrative by forging documents “on a grand scale” and presenting them in evidence. Overall, “all his lies and forged documents were in support of his biggest lie: his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto.” In advancing his false claim to be Satoshi through multiple legal actions, Dr Wright committed “a most serious abuse” of the process of the courts of the UK, Norway and the USA. The High Court formally declared as follows:

First, that Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.

Second, Dr Wright is not the owner of the copyright in the Bitcoin White Paper.

Third, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period between 2008 and 2011.

Fourth, Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin system.

Fifth, Dr Wright is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin Software.

The full judgment, and its appendix detailing various forged documents created by Dr Wright, is accessible at the following URL: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/copa-v-wright/.

Dr Wright has been ordered not to commence any legal proceedings based on his false claims (by claim or counterclaim) or procure any other person to do so. He has also been ordered not to threaten any such proceedings (explicitly or implicitly) or procure any other person to do so.

The northern california forest that meets the sea, where it says "This part couldn't be that tough", that's the Lost Coast of California, terrain so rugged, it is the only part of the Pacific Coast Highway (hwy 1) where they had to go inland for a bit.

Peer-to-Peer Systems
Within a decade, P2P has proven to be a technology that enables innovative new services and is used by millions of people every day.
https://cacm.acm.org/research/peer-to-peer-systems/#R9

In October 2010, an article was published in the Communications of the ACM, revisiting the topic of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and their revolutionary impact on the digital landscape.

The article noted that within just over a decade since their inception, P2P systems had become a ubiquitous technology, enabling millions of people to share resources and communicate directly without the need for a centralized authority.

These systems had given rise to innovative new services and had transformed the way people interacted with digital content.

The article predicted that P2P would continue to evolve and play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of the internet and its applications.

Iconic talk by Jaron Lanier

Given in 2018, but you watch it and you realize he could be talking about the current moment and opportunity with nostr

“We cannot have a society in which if two people wish to communicate the only way that can happen is if it’s financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them”

Amen

“The alternative is to turn back the clock with great difficulty and remake that decision. Remaking it would mean two things. It would mean many people would actually pay for these things. You’d pay for search. You’d pay for social networking. How would you pay? Maybe with a subscription fee. Maybe with micropayments... If some of you are recoiling and saying: oh my god I would never pay for these things, how could you ever get anyone to pay? Well, companies like Netflix, Amazon, and HBO, said subscribe, and we’ll give you great TV. And it worked! Now we’re in peak TV. Sometimes when you pay for stuff things get better. We can imagine a hypothetical world of peak social media"

Amen

And, most powerfully:

“We have to create a culture around technology that is so beautiful, so meaningful, so deep, so endlessly creative, so filled with infinite potential that it draws us away from committing mass suicide”

Amen

Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

https://m.primal.net/ISqH.png

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

https://m.primal.net/ISqJ.png

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

https://m.primal.net/ISqK.png

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

I'll give you the back story...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So where am I going with all this?

Amazingly, it's about empty blocks.

What does that have to do with anything?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because Antminers suck.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So imagine this -

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

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

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

Empty blocks kept happening, people kept blaming pools.

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

Insane.

This goes further than empty blocks.

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

A super lucrative transaction shows up in your mempool?

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

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

Again, insane.

Glad I turned down the cia job. Phew!


Did Princess D die because she was against weapon manufacturers ?

I've been reading about Mossad this week. Mossad is to Israel what CIA is to the US, and M16 is to British. They are one of the strongest intelligence unit in the world

My knowledge on Mossad was limited to Ziva David of NCIS and other random reads, hence I picked up this book called ‘Gideon Spies : The Secret History of the Mossad’ by Gordon Thomas, a Welsh author. His dad was once in charge of M16.

According to Britannica, Mossad was setup in Dec 1949 as a successor to Haganah who was a violent Jewish military force in Palestine (Britain separated Israel and Palestine on 15 May 1948)

This book Gideon’s spies has been a slow read as there are many cross references  - but it starts off with Mossad trying to recruit an informer none other than Henri Paul, in the Ritz hotel in Paris.

Henri Paul was the Head of Security in this hotel and had access to every security detail. He was also the trusted driver for very high end celebrities.

On the side he had a wild life drinking, partying, hooking up with prostitutes, popping pills etc. And on the other side, he was getting paid by paparazzi for a tip off on celebrities that showed up.

Mossad’s psychologist intelligence who studied Henri Paul’s behaviors suggested monetary influence as a way to lure him, yet as the days came close to sealing the detail, Henri Paul was quick to discern that it was for an intelligence service. It was later disclosed that he was also secretly working as an informant for M16 and probably the French Intelligence

On August 31, 1997, Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were found dead, alongside their driver - Henri Paul.

I remember hearing my mom saying “they killed her, they killed her” when the news broke out globally.

She wasn’t the only one who thought so. Mohammad Al Fayed, the Egyptian conglomerate owner of Ritz and Harrods and father of Dodi Al Fayed was certain the establishment (Royal family) killed her.

According to him, Diana was 2 months pregnant, and Diana and Dodi were going to announce their engagement. The establishment however and Diana ‘s brother Spencer did not like her dating a Muslim. Nor were they ok with the next King of England William having a Muslim step father.

Mohammed Al Fayed was obsessed on finding out who killed Diana and Dodi and did not believe it was the paparazzi. He recruited  people to get the information he needed.

One of them was a former agent Tomlinson who exposed the dirty secrets of M16 and prisoned for 2 years for it. Tomlinson went on to expose all the M16 agents including 12 who were working on Diana and Dodi Al Fayed’s case.

And it gets deeper. Mohammad Al Fayed also heard from this book’s author Gordon Thomas that the US’s NSA was closely monitoring Diana and has 1050 pages of the couple.

How closely ? All their conversations however intimate was gathered by the NSA’s ECHELON satellite

The NSA system also shares these information with other intelligence like M16 in real time.

So why were so many intelligence agencies after them? Other than M16, the rest surely couldn't care less about the monarch.

Right after her divorce from Charles, Diana aggressively launched a campaign to abolish land mines. Neither Clinton’s administration nor London and other European capitals were happy about it.

She was seen as a meddler, and someone who did not understand what she was talking about.
(Except that we know, she knew exactly what she was talking about)

According to this book author's  source from Washington “The reality was that the land mine manufacturing industry provided thousands of jobs. No one wanted to see the mines used—but no one wanted people put out of work because Diana had a bee in her bonnet,”

The irony of the Diana’s car accident remains puzzling at large. Diana was still alive during the accident. It took the ambulance almost 2 hours to get her to the hospital. All her internal organs were removed and she was turned into a mummy according to Mohammad Al Fayed. The paparazzi’s photographs that detailed the accident were mostly MIA. The traffic cameras on the highways were also malfunctioning. What are the odds of all information pertaining to the investigation disappearing?

There were many other possible causes of the accident. Either Henri Paul was over stressed, strung on drugs, or a laser beam was flashed onto the driver’s eyes to temporarily blind him. According to the former M16 agent, being blinded while driving through the underpass by a high-powered flash was a common assassination technique used by the M16.

According to the author, from the NSA's Echelon tapes, the couple were talking about marriage and were very much in love. The British spies were able to access these communications.

Henri Paul also installed a bugging device in the Imperial Suite at the Ritz Hotel and had obtained tapes of the “last intimate moments” of Diana and Dodi and  became the subject of a hunt by MI6 to locate them.

There were various intelligence agents that were hovering the area 2 weeks prior to their death..

A  Mossad report revealed  that around August 14/15 1997, a CIA team also arrived in the city. The team had been tracking Diana for some time, keeping tabs on her attacks on land mine manufacturers, many of which are U.S.-based.

According to the Mossad report “a white Fiat Uno passed the top of the street.” The Mossad report states that in the car were two intelligence officers from the French security service, DST. But this was wiped out of record elsewhere.

The Mossad investigation details how the various intelligence services hurriedly left Paris after the deaths of Diana and Dodi.

While Mohammad Al Fayed went to his grave never uncovering what really happened behind the deaths of Diana and Dodi, something surely seems off that night. Likely we will never know what really happened.

On a last note, as I was reading through, the author said this :

“The first lesson I learned during a quarter of a century of writing about secret intelligence is that deception and disinformation are its stock-in- trade, along with subversion, corruption, blackmail, and, sometimes, assassination. Agents are trained to lie and to use and abuse friendships. They are the very opposite of the dictum that gentlemen do not read each other’s mail”

Not the kinda friends you want to get mixed up with I guess

Very true. Countries with small populations, have no sovereign currency, and use the dollar will be the first to adopt Bitcoin.


3rd world county (also known as developing nations / global south) were originally defined as countries that were not involved in the US / Soviet drama. There were recuperating slowly in the 40s - 70s post independence.

In the 70s, with the rise of power and new ways to increase wealth - world bank, IMF etc came about. Debt packages were sold to 3rd world countries through fancy marketing schemes :

In the 70’s, the big powers sold this idea of “infrastructure development”,  and in the 80s and 90s it was called “sustainable development” , “millennial development in the 2000” and each time, countries were convinced to take on more debts to rebuild.

A lot of this development were bogus, not needed or overly hiked up through partnership with corrupt gov’ts of the 3rd world.

And every time there was an economy crisis, 3rd world country took longer time to recover leading them to widen the debt trap.

Eventually 3rd world countries were so poor that they were redefined from the non US/Soviet interfering countries to poor countries because that’s what they became.

The recent “climate change development” is another interesting topic - based on historical bluffs it makes you wonder who is scheming what. I believe in climate change, I struggle with extreme heat everyday, but I am also curious on the 1% of global power behind this marketing wheel.

An irony - the initial debts in the 70s were to build energy related industry specifically nuclear power plants - which is now aggressively being eliminated, and hydro dams which became abandoned projects in many countries.

And I’m guessing there is a global discouragement towards bitcoin mining because really -  If your energy infrastructure can now self sustain based on the rewards, that means you  don’t have to take on debts for it. The corrupts lose.

Keep in mind also that millions were killed because they fought back against these unwanted developments which caused them to lose their homes.  A lot have died trying to survive from the corrupts. This has never been an easy battle.

If you are looking for a book to read this weekend, ‘The Blood Bankers : Tales from the Global Underground Economy” by James S.Henry , with foreword from Senator Bill Bradley is a good one. I’ve read it twice and I’ll still read it again, so much info to grasp and research on.

The book provides ties between banks, corrupt gov’ts and the political perks, wars , CIA to various countries and presidents involvement, private companies - the list goes on and on.

If you have read it already, would love your take on it

"Humble Horse is an experiment in making nostr into a giant group chat with no global state. Instead of creating discrete groups like telegram, every nostr thread is a group.

The problem with telegram groups is the velocity is either too slow to be interesting or too fast to be useful.

The goal here is to be able to "move" the nostr client throughout the nostrverse to dynamically create "groups" with the right velocity of content, and to present the user with the best "groups" based on the interests (as demonstrated through their engagement with others).

Bloom filter events (NIP coming soon) are used to prevent the user seeing "groups" more than once (if they have scrolled past them and shown no interest).

Users will also be encouraged to reply in an existing group rather than creating a new air reply, we do this by presenting them with existing groups that are similar to whatever they have started writing in the message input box."
