I'm very smart. Ask me anything.

@darthcap1tal @GergelyOrosz foreign vote breaks very heavily for Fidesz - it's the same with Erdogan in Turkey. easy to vote on vibes when you don't have to live it.

@GergelyOrosz Citizens living abroad should quite honestly not get a vote. What vested interests do you even have in that case?

Today, Hungary votes. The choice is between an anti-EU, pro-Russia, pro-corruption party reigning for 16 years (Orbán’s party: Fidesz) or a pro-EU, anti-Russia, anti-corruption party (Tisza). My mail-in vote went for Tisza ❤️🤍💚 A rendszerváltásért!

@ChristianLempa What’s the modern alternative you like?

I need help! Why do people love "Caddy" as a Rev-Proxy so much? It does not support Docker Labels out-of-the-box? No DNS Challenge for TLS? Needs a static config file, and reloads? Isn't this a little old-school?

@CredibleGadfly @EggerDC Are they still reaching people? Impression is they’re far off their Rogan-boosted peaks.

@EggerDC That's a great point. A consequence of not having a fringe in public life is that kooks like Weinstein have these megaphones that reaches far too many people.

Hard to think of a better illustration of terminal IDW brain than "why wasn't a top priority of the moon mission intellectual engagement with the moon-landing conspiracy theorists"

@robertgraham It’s very strange seeing a reputable journalist trip up like this

The writer of the NYTimes story claiming to find Satoshi thinks this is a logical argument confirming the person is in fact Satoshi.

@loftwah I think they're fine with that

I’m not paying more than $20 a month for an AI subscription. Either they figure out how to make it cheaper or I won’t use it as much.

Global reactions to saying the c-word in public

@kennethper6943 @HPbasketball i believe the thinking was avoid a fresh wolves (bad matchup), spurs and then OKC at the end of it rather than rockets (better matchup), OKC (while fresh) and a finals inexperienced Spurs. made sense at first look.

@dir @HPbasketball Either of those choices seems tough tbh

Nuggets had a really great stretch here over the last month, but as has been the theme this season, luck probably isn't going to turn their way. The BEST case scenario is they have to play their starters to the bone on Sunday instead of resting to try and get the 3-seed or accept they'll be the 4 and in OKC's bracket. Unless Timberwolves and Suns pull off upsets without starters tonight, Denver will have to scrap and claw to get the 3, and even then, could come up short. Golden State locking 10th and Suns locking 7th flipped the equation for the Lakers. In fairness, Lakers UNDOUBTEDLY get the 3 if Luka and Reaves hadn't gotten hurt, so if that's how it wound up, probably would have been that way. Then again, if we're removing injuries and you look at the Nuggets' December through February luck... As always, you have to make your own luck in this league.

@thebadstats We have photos of the Apollo landing sites from multiple independent space agencies. Bret is a moron.

Bret thinks the moon landing deniers have a serious case and it's a shame NASA didn't use the Artemis mission to finally collect real evidence that we did go to the moon in 1969

@Favian_Kim You guys still doing this ey?

Why Adam Back, and Why Now For years, their safe answer was Hal Finney. Dead men don't deny. Coins don't move. It was convenient. Then in April 2026, the New York Times and John Carreyrou quietly dropped that safe script. They pointed at a living man, a talking man, a man who can deny it, and on top of that the CEO of #Blockstream. Not with cryptographic proof. With two spaces between sentences, British spellings, and hyphen habits. The piece landed right after the #BitcoinSV Chronicle activation. For years the line was "Bitcoin runs fine without its creator." Now, at the exact moment the creator's original protocol is being restored in code, the story flips to "we found the creator." That is a very loud coincidence. The "no Satoshi" narrative only works while Satoshi stays gone. The moment the original design walks back onto the field, that narrative expires. So a living stand-in becomes necessary. Someone who can deny. Someone controllable. Someone safely embedded inside the BTC camp. Look at what the article actually offered. Writing habits. Email exchanges. Citation style. Overlapping timelines. Cryptographic evidence: zero. Carreyrou went on the NYT Daily podcast and said he is "between 99.5% and 100%" certain. That is exactly the kind of evidence layer BSV people have been pointing to for years regarding Craig Wright, except the CSW record is thicker. Early technical writing. Forensic expertise. Philosophical alignment with Satoshi's own words. Steganographic traces. Research output predating the white paper. If linguistic fingerprints are now enough to clear the bar for Adam Back, Craig Wright is already well past that same bar. Regardless of the reporter's intent, the evidentiary threshold just came down, in public, on the record. Back denied it. Of course he did. The denial is part of the game. The real questions are simpler. Why now. Why right after Chronicle. And if writing habits count as proof, why does the same standard never get extended to Craig Wright? The bar came down. They lowered it themselves. #Bitcoin #BSV #Satoshi #CraigWright #BTC

@kennethnym agents cook up actual good code practice for once and you're dissapointed?

really tired of models overindexing on early returns and write stuff like if (!cond) return; doStuff() instead of if (cond) doStuff()

@TaliaRinger 2014 washingtonpost.com/world/national…

NSA told everyone to move off of EC Crypto like a decade ago. My conclusion was that they already had practical quantum computers implementing this lol glad the public is catching up though

i'm really curious dafuq are people doing over here

@lessin Fair to say labour costs were .. um, lower

The idea that the Colosseum only cost even $10b to build in 2026 dollars really puts spacex IPO in perspective

@mkt_blaze @TheStalwart going on about broadcast reliability misses the point - the transactions will be consolidated later

@mkt_blaze @TheStalwart he's still grapping with it all here, seems very sincere: metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryp…

I love that people are still trying to crack this. I wasn't, however, 100% convinced by the evidence or the conclusion. The stylometry is interesting, but on content, ofc all the cypherpunks had similar thoughts on politics and privacy and the architecture of the internet.

@durov what proportion of messages on telegram are sent over secret chats?

That’s why Telegram Secret Chats never show message content in push notifications. Since 2013, Secret Chats have remained the most secure usable way to communicate. US gov funded Signal has too many questionable dependencies on other US companies (AWS, MS, Intel SGX…)

@mkt_blaze @TheStalwart All a bit too contrived. Simpler: experienced C++ developer with applied crypto knowledge inspired by a lot of online payment problems in the 00's finds the mailing lists, reads + lurks them, pieces together a solution and publishes a prototype. Anon because of his corp work

@dir @TheStalwart We know Satoshi slipped and wrote in commonwealth English. Also there are stylistic similarities (plenty of hyphenation) and personal attributes of self effacing and deprecation. Still likely a team did it. I know it's not James A. Donald but I bet he could have coded for Back

@TheStalwart add a media tour to that

Everyone in Bitcoin: It’s really reckless and dangerous to expose Adam like that, especially without a smoking gun Adam:
