The danger is not AI, but rather the binding of AI into a single point of control.
- I'm excited to announce that I've joined the amazing bitcoin hardware wallet team at Block (@blocks) to help bring self-custody into the mainstream! Grateful to have been part of the extraordinary Brink (@bitcoinbrink) community as a grantee. Thank you so much for your support!
- Hyperbitcoinization will make long-time hodlers the world’s juiciest targets. Vora is the first self-custody platform that secures people, not just keys. A wrench attack yields zero sats and instant exposure, so criminals pick easier prey. Vora turns Bitcoin from the hardest
- I'm thrilled and honored to be able to continue working on Bitcoin open-source with the support of an organization that I greatly admire, the @HRF. Special thanks to @amizi @jfnewbery @adamcjonas @nadav_kohen @LLFOURN @n1ckler @gladstein for helping make this dream a reality!Replying to @BitcoinMagazineGrant 1: Bitcoin developer @jesseposner will receive a gift of $25,000 in BTC. Until recently, Jesse worked as a key management engineer at @coinbase and is now dedicating himself to the free and open-source software movement.
- It has rightly been said that cryptocurrency is more religion than it is science, and thus, in that spirit, I offer this blockchain prayer:
- Check out our new Bitkey whitepaper where we leverage FROST, OPRFs, TEEs, Pedersen commitments, and blind signatures to deliver secure, private, and flexible self-custody with no hardware required!
- Elon tweets and market volatility are entertaining, but this is what really matters. And you won't hear them talking about it on CNBC. FewTaproot activation signaling is now at 94.42% 🟩
- Any attempt to regulate cryptography is ultimately an attempt to regulate math itself. “2 + 2 = 4” is not a crime. Thinking is not a crime. The cogito is not a crime. And if it is, then deliver me the penalty, for I will never deny an accusation that I think, and do so freely.
- Founding a cryptocurrency has much more in common with founding a religion or a nation than founding a start-up, and this is what the ICOs have failed to understand, most notably in their disappointing creation myths: non-anonymous, pre-mined, and mutable.
- Privacy-preserving proof-of-solvency was solved a decade ago: eprint.iacr.org/2015/1008
- Statements by an employer of empathy and solidarity for employees are not political, not activism, not cultural marxism, not woke, not a threat to diversity of thought, and not a distraction; they are nothing more than basic human decency.
- The only way to deal with a surveilled world is to become so absolutely cryptic that your very existence is an act of encryption.
- Replying to @_DavidSFreemanvora.io is what we’re currently ready to share. We will publicize the full details in the coming months.
