“Passport is one of the best products in the industry in my opinion, but we were not comfortable with the trust required in the hardware, firmware, and supply chain of signing devices.” WTF
@OwenKemeys We didn’t realize how much of a trust vector and security risk hot keys and client side keys were until we implemented this at scale. This was a mistake in me thinking about trust too theoretically and not practically. Passport is one of the best products in the industry in my

Statement from Foundation We are incredibly saddened by the harsh five-year sentence given to Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez. We believe this outcome is unjust and deeply troubling. It directly conflicts with previous guidance from FinCEN; where one federal agency

Don’t even know what to say. FinCEN guidance was clear. They did the right thing and had counsel give them a legal opinion that their CoinJoin service was not breaking the law. And then they were arrested and jailed anyway.
🚨NEW: Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 months in prison (the maximum statutory sentence), 3 years of supervision and a fine of $250k.

@zachherbert I agree this would be valuable. It needs to thread the needle to mitigate centralization concerns by avoiding providing specific deadlines or timeframes and positioning it as "the roadmap." It can be positioned as simply "here are short, medium, long term projects that active

“Where is the public roadmap for Bitcoin Core?” This sentiment from Zach is common and Ill give my own thoughts on it https://t.co/rkQoAyfBP0 The subprojects that individual Bitcoin Core engineers contribute to reflect the project’s *software development priorities* which can
Where is the public roadmap for Bitcoin Core? Bitcoin is already a multi trillion dollar asset and will continue to rapidly grow. Where is the dev roadmap? What key bug fixes and features will be worked on over the next 5-10 years? One of the key communication issues with

I’m pretty libertarian but I think @AndrewYang was onto something. Learning more about SNAP benefits has been radicalizing. The most efficient way forward would be to get rid of all government aid programs and implement a basic UBI that requires little administrative overhead.

NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: Mayor Michelle Wu is running a 100-year-old playbook to choke housing development and fuel crime in Boston, playing to her base while neglecting the broader health of the city. In 2024, Boston’s commercial property sector was struggling. Office occupancy and

This is what Ledger has to do as device sales slow. More and more revenue comes from services. The new devices do not offer compelling value.
"eventually there might be a Ledger tax on every transaction signed with Ledger devices" insane greed by @Ledger , I have like 10 ledgers or something including some of the premium models and I'll be switching and telling all my friends to switch if they don't fix this

Did you expect anything different from these guys?
Ledger CTO: "Clear Signing with a Ledger wallet is essential and it's the only way to transact securely." Also Ledger CTO: "And if you want to use Clear Signing with a multisig, that'll be $10 per tx and 5bps of all transfers."

Lots of folks saying they want to stop “spam” on Bitcoin. Basically the crux of this Core vs Knots debate. I’d like to ask a question: what is “spam”? To me it’s spam if it’s something like fake pubkeys. But it’s not spam just because I don’t like your use case. A big problem
@satflation @jabulanijakes @BitMEXResearch @giacomozucco i just want to stop spam, and misuse that makes it hard to run nodes. and the increase in op return is to fix the mal-incentive bug to create fake pubkeys, which is bad for nodes.

To all the replies saying switch to my “following” feed – it’s chronological instead of algorithmic. Therefore it is useless. To all the replies saying “then how will you see content from people you don’t follow?” – easy. I follow someone who retweets it. Therefore i see it.

Are there any bottle warmers that don’t significantly overheat the milk? I put 4oz in the bottle and set this crap warmer to 2oz. Took it to 108 degrees. Had I set it to the 4oz setting (as instructed) would have taken it to 130 degrees. Class action lawsuit anyone?

Somehow our Bitcoin community birthed a mob of low-information larpers who screech "Whitepaper!" and call other Bitcoiners shitcoiners for mentioning the timechain of Bitcoin enables provable timestamps, decentralized DNS, etc., all of which Satoshi himself detailed in his posts.
@csuwildcat @BitcoinMonk21 @zachherbert That is never mentioned in the whitepaper. I recommend you go read it without thinking about using the network for shitcoins. The retard is you, who can’t even read. 🤡

If Steve Jobs was alive we’d have Apple Mobile with $50 phone plans, $10 MacBook/iPad, $5 Watch, seamless. Every Apple Silicon device with eSIM. Apple might even launch satellite direct to cell. Instead we get MacBooks with the same processor as iPads but no cellular.
Startup idea: laptop with sim cards so that we can use mobile data on laptops too
