Crypto Révolution 🇫🇷

@decadimitry The fraud and the scam is the compliance mechanism bullshit itself... All the HIPAA and other BS serve nothing instead of a angry bureaucracy trying to justify is existence

How could this level of blatant fraud make it past a VC firm led by this executive team?

@aryanlabde *if you know how to think and plan...

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@PaulRBerg 💯

This is the most annoying thing in Claude Code. Hiding raw text when you paste more than 4 lines. Terrible UX decision.

@bitrefill @stephanlivera I hope you'll do well. You are truly a great service and a very useful one. 👏💪🔥

March 1st incident report On March 1, 2026, Bitrefill was the target of a cyberattack. Based on indicators observed during the investigation - including the modus operandi, the malware used, on-chain tracing and reused IP + email addresses (!) - we find many similarities between this attack and past cyberattacks by the DPRK Lazarus / Bluenoroff group against other companies in the crypto industries. The initial access originated through a compromised employee laptop, from which a legacy credential was exfiltrated. That credential provided access to a snapshot containing production secrets. From there, the attackers were able to escalate their access to our broader infrastructure, including parts of our database and certain cryptocurrency wallets. We first detected the incident after noticing suspicious purchasing patterns with certain suppliers. We realized that our gift card stock and supply lines were being exploited. At the same time we found some of our hot wallets being drained and funds transferred to attacker-controlled wallets. The moment we identified the breach, we took all of our systems offline as part of our containment response. Bitrefill operates a global e-commerce business with dozens of suppliers, thousands of products, and multiple payment methods across many countries. Safely switching all these things off and bringing them back online is not trivial. Since the incident, our team has been working closely with top industry security researchers, incident response specialists, on-chain analysts and law enforcement to understand what happened and how we can prevent it from happening again. A sincere thank you to @zeroshadow_io, @SEAL_Org, @RecoverisTeam and @fearsoff for their rapid response and support throughout this ordeal. What about your data Based on our investigation and our logs we don’t have reason to think that customer data was the target of this breach. There is no evidence that they extracted our entire database, only that the attackers ran a limited number of queries consistent with probing to understand what there was to steal, including cryptocurrency and Bitrefill gift card inventory. Bitrefill was designed to store very little personal data. We are a store, not a crypto service provider. We don’t require mandatory KYC. When a customer chooses to verify their account - e.g. to access higher purchasing tiers or certain products - that data is kept exclusively with our external KYC provider, with no backups in our system. Still, based on database logs, we know that a subset of purchase records was accessed and we want to be transparent about that. Around 18,500 purchase records were accessed by the attackers. Those records contained limited customer information, such as email addresses, crypto payment address, and metadata including IP address. For approximately 1,000 purchases, specific products required customers to provide a name. That information is encrypted in our database. However, since the attackers may have gotten access to the encryption keys, we are treating this data as potentially accessed. Customers in this category have already been notified directly by email. At this time, based on the information currently available, we do not believe customers need to take specific action. As a precaution, we recommend remaining cautious of any unexpected communications related to Bitrefill or crypto. If this assessment changes, we will of course immediately inform those affected. What we are doing We have already significantly improved our cybersecurity practices, but vow to continue to draw learnings from this experience to make sure user and company balances and data remain maximally safe. Specifically we’re: -Continuing thorough cybersecurity reviews and pentests with multiple external experts and implementing recommendations; -Further tightening internal access controls; -Further improving logging and monitoring for faster detection and more effective response; and -Continuing to refine and test our incident response procedures and automated shutdown procedures. The bottom line Getting hit by a sophisticated attack sucks (a lot). We’ve been in business for over 10 years and it’s the first time we’ve been hit this hard. But we survived. Bitrefill was designed to limit the impact if something like this ever happened. Bitrefill remains well funded, has been profitable for several years and will absorb these losses from our operational capital. Almost everything is back to normal: payments, stock, accounts. Sales volumes are also back to normal, and we are eternally thankful to our customers for your continued confidence in us. We will continue to do our best to continue deserving your trust. Thank you!

@levelsio Because of you, almost all interesting Hetzner plans are gone /out of stock Stop promoting it! 😑 Do like all BS influencers do, promote the overhype mac mini lines instead Thanks 😅

When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP That way nobody can get in I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in Why? A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it You want to only have it accessible to you And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web

@heyshrutimishra It's already gone 😢

Alibaba just made every other model pricing look embarrassing. I plugged in their new Coding Plan this week. Many frontier coding models under one API key. 18,000 requests for $10/month. Works directly inside OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cline. Setup took 30 seconds. I've been running Qwen 3.5-Plus, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.5, GLM-5 all week. Swap between them depending on the task. The interesting part isn't the price. It's that they built this specifically for the tools developers already live in. They know exactly where we work. Most people will find out about this in 6 months when their API bills are twice yours.

@itsJaimeMedina @burkov Thanks for the explanation

@burkov on March 4th, anthropic changed reasoning level to "medium", documented it here: x.com/itsJaimeMedina…

Opus 4.6 has become as dumb as, or dumber than, Gemini. At this moment, both Codex Extra High and Opus 4.6 provide last year’s level of intelligence. They are only good when they use them to run the benchmarks and then for the next 2-3 weeks so that AI bros scream "🚨BREAKING!" and show what they managed to one-shot. Then they dumb them down to not lose so much cash.

@levelsio "I can type faster than I talk" 🤣 No, you can't... Unless you have a problem speaking

I never do voice, I tried for a few days and it's too unnatural to me to talk to my computer Especially considering there's people near me like gf or if I'm in a cafe etc Voice coding is just too weird for me, and I think I can type faster than I talk

@JulianGoldieSEO Better late than never... I'm doing this with my own software that I vibecoded alone almost a year ago, and yes, indeed, voice coding is the future...

🚨 Developers are about to code very differently. Claude just added VOICE coding. You talk. It writes the code. Real back-and-forth conversations. Like pair programming with AI. 🤯 Typing prompts might soon feel ancient. This is wild. Link in the comments.

@t31kx 🤣

Claude Code: "You've hit your limit · resets 7pm" Me from 5-6.59pm

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't

@ZubyMusic @imPenny2x It's just less visible... People haven't changed

@imPenny2x Actually, yeah.

Do you remember just how stupid everything was between 2020-2021?

@ZubyMusic And you think it has changed since then? 😂

@AzFlin No, it's time to go to Gemini 3.1 pro high thinking or to use GPT Codex 5.3 x-high...

> opus 4.6 couldnt fix the bug > gemini 2.5 couldn't fix the bug It's time to read the code.

@techbharat @soumyabrata2705 😂

@soumyabrata2705 Major cover up tactic.

I think Jensen Huang and Lisa Su is the same person with different makeup, but I cannot prove it.

@gordic_aleksa @taalas_inc @cerebras It's not just about the speed... for now, it's only working on one of the smallest and least useful models out there and can't scale well To make it work like Groq or Cerebras, you need as much money as they have raised to get the same speed on bigger, more useful models

left: @taalas_inc 15.4k toks/sec right: @cerebras 2.4k toks/sec it's not even funny - this is more of a cache retrieval task at this point i literally get a wall of text as soon as i click enter the only reason this is not trending right now (i think) is because it's a) Canadian b) not backed by VCs from the valley

@PaulGoldEagle 🤥

A biological miracle is happening in underground research facilities where 73-year-old volunteers are walking out with the skin, organs, and DNA markers of 33-year-olds. The treatment costs $4,200 and uses precisely tuned 40Hz sound waves that vibrate through every cell, forcing mitochondria to restart like factory-reset smartphones. Success rate: 91% across 847 participants. The mechanism is almost alien—sound frequencies target something called "cellular senescence," where old cells stop dividing but refuse to die, poisoning nearby tissue. The sonic waves shatter these zombie cells while leaving healthy ones untouched. Researchers are now testing if monthly 20-minute sessions could maintain biological age indefinitely. The first "age-locked" human may already exists. Science Simplified #AgingReversal #SonicMedicine #Longevity #CellularRejuvenation #BiohackingFuture

@johann_sath 🤣

saas is dead openclaw replaced all my subscriptions went from $480/month on tools to $1,245/month on API costs & 15 hours a week fixing yaml files adapt or be left behind
