For clarification: Rocket Pool had 2FA - not mobile but app based A strong password Was not sim swapped It appears to be a novel attack or an insider. This has no bearing on the smart contracts safety and any suggestion of such is salty misinformation.

AI KYC is here. New claude subscribers asked for gov ID & photo. Not even a regulatory requirement - Anthropic just doing it because they want to. But regulatory is coming Next up will be laws: No AI without gov-issued ID All AI use tracked to individual - no private AI

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

Hi. Professional C/C++ programmer here. The open-source code I can find written by Adam Back and Satoshi Nakamoto don't look remotely similar. Back's code looks typical of academic Unix programmers who also hack their code to run on Windows. Satoshi code was written by a professional Windows programmer who also wrote for Unix. Stylistically, they look nothing alike. There's not enough time between 2005 when I can find the newest Adam Back and January 2009 when Satoshi published Bitcoin/0.1 to account for the change. Both are perfectly competent programmers, but stylistically, they are completely different. The NYTimes tried to compare their English language in posts/emails. I'm compare their C/C++ language in their open-source code. The NYTimes merely points out they both use C++ as if that's another corroborating detail, when the actual code seems to disqualify Adam Back.

The pilot who died after the collision on the tarmac at New York's LaGuardia Airport was from Coteau-du-Lac Quebec. He was 30-year-old Antoine Forest. Rest in peace ❤️🇨🇦

This image represents everything wrong with crypto and why the industry is where it is now.

I'm just gonna say it, cause nobody else will. It's a cool tattoo. It's got a nice Southwestern aesthetic, and if you didn't know anything about crypto or this whole story, there would be nothing weird about it. It's not like it's a Shiba Inu or Apecoin tattoo. Luna is timeless.

DOJ has decided it will retry Roman Storm in the fall. Despite failing to convince a jury the first time around, despite making obvious mistakes like calling irrelevant witnesses and not understanding the forensic analysis of their own blockchain evidence, and despite multiple legal and logical fallacies to their allegations of third party dev liability, the SDNY will retry Roman Storm on counts 1 and 3 of the indictment. Incredibly disappointing news.
