Say you get a million qubits today and can revert Bitcoin pubkeys.
What do you do?
Bitcoin is pretty resilient...

the problem with this cycle is the first step at the top. very few applications actually *need* to "make sure it's you", let alone *collect the very data needed to impersonate you* to make sure it's you. most companies are made to do this by bad policy.

People will come around on @darkfolioapp design.
Users don't ping exchange APIs, and price fetching doesn't name any specific assets. Our server, your ISP can't tell anything about what you're interested in - and it's verifiable.
Just a single ping to the darkfolio server - "get the prices."
PIR offers a worse set of tradeoffs. It's counterintuitive that receiving all prices is more efficient, cheaper, and faster, and allows for clearer privacy verification, but it's true.
Without Tor, which adds some latency, price refreshes load under a second, on average.
This is a rare case where the dumb option (give everyone everything) is as good as anything.
As designed, darkfolio can scale to millions of users.

@craigwarmke worth checking out @rotkiapp and seeing if there's anything to learn from their approach. also, you should look into PIR (private information retrieval) to avoid having to send 7000 prices every time someone refreshes the page.

After three breaches, I stopped trusting “we promise” apps and built @darkfolioapp--- a portfolio tracker that is verifiably private.
Full story, screenshots, verification guide, and my $10k pledge to @torproject and @rstormsf's defense, in the article below. 👇

@lightcoin all it says is that “we’ve identified a high power radio transmission coming from iran that can be re transmitted repeatedly”
the “could be” and “may” are entirely fabricating an idea of what that transmission does — they don’t know what it does.
English
are any other cryptographers skeptical of this article:
abcnews.com/US/iran-activa…
> The alert, reviewed by ABC News, cites "preliminary signals analysis" of a transmission "likely of Iranian origin" that was relayed across multiple countries
> The intercepted transmission was encoded and appeared to be destined for "clandestine recipients" who possess the encryption key
> While the exact contents of these transmissions cannot currently be determined, the sudden appearance of a new station with international rebroadcast characteristics warrants heightened situational awareness," the alert said.

Just rolled this to 100%.
Now anyone can pay your @CashApp request with Apple or Google Pay.
No app download required. Just pay.

"Right To Repair" should mean "it isn't illegal for people to repair their own property", not "anti-competitive, mandatory manufacturing standards for companies, which raise barriers to entry via higher startup and operating costs".

Apple spent a decade gluing batteries into $2,499 MacBook Pros. Then it shipped a $599 laptop you can take apart in six minutes. The MacBook Neo teardown numbers are wild. Eight screws to open. Eighteen screws hold the battery, zero glue, zero tape. The USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack are all modular, meaning each one swaps individually. The speakers come out with four screws. An Australian repair channel disassembled most of the machine in under six minutes using standard Torx bits you can buy at any hardware store. For context, the 2019 MacBook Pro scored 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. The 16-inch Pro got a 1 out of 10. Soldered RAM, soldered storage, glued battery, proprietary pentalobe screws, keyboard riveted to the top case. Apple’s own Self Service Repair program required you to rent a 79-pound repair kit shipped in two Pelican cases just to swap a battery. The timing explains everything. The EU Right to Repair Directive takes effect July 31, 2026. Member states are transposing it into national law right now. Manufacturers must offer repair beyond warranty, provide spare parts within 5 to 10 working days for seven years, and publish repair manuals. In the US, over a quarter of Americans already live in states with enforceable Right to Repair laws. Oregon banned parts pairing. California’s act is in effect. Apple read the regulatory calendar and realized the cheapest laptop in the lineup would face the most scrutiny. Millions of students and first-time buyers will own it. The volume will be enormous. And regulators love consumer-protection cases involving the most affordable products in a company’s portfolio. So they built the Neo as the compliance flagship. Standard screws, modular ports, no adhesive, a battery that lifts out. Meanwhile the $1,099 MacBook Air still has soldered storage and a riveted keyboard. The $2,499 Pro still scores poorly on independent repairability scales. The $599 laptop is the most repairable MacBook in over a decade. Apple always knew how to build a repairable laptop. They just needed a reason that showed up on a regulatory deadline.

@lopp @MartyBent @coinbase they also lobbied for the BitLicense in CA which would have made p2p trading a felony, among many other deleterious effects

@MartyBent @coinbase Time is a flat circle. Reminds me of what they did in NC a decade ago; I reported on it here.

Hearing that despite all the efforts and lobbying for bitcoin de minimis tax exemption, it’s none other than @coinbase trying to nuke it behind the scenes to push stablecoins only.
Apparently they are telling legislators that, “No one is using bitcoin as money. A de-minimis exemption for bitcoin is a hand out that will be DOA.”

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.

Today, the SDNY prosecutors filed a letter to Judge Failla requesting a retrial date. They want to go again in October. The prosecutors want to retry me on 2 counts the jury couldn't unanimously decide on. A jury of 12 Americans heard 4 weeks of evidence and deadlocked: no verdict on money laundering, and no verdict on sanctions violations. The government's response? Try again to make writing code a crime.
@realDonaldTrump declared the "War on Crypto is over." 🇺🇸
AG @DAGToddBlanche's memo: DOJ "is not a digital assets regulator" and won't target mixers for end-user acts. @USTreasury lifted Tornado Cash sanctions entirely. ✅ Also Treasury, March 2026: "Lawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to enable financial privacy." — official report to Congress under the GENIUS Act. But the SDNY prosecutors — same country, same DOJ — just filed to retry me anyway. 🤔
⠀ The 2 counts = up to 40 years in federal prison. ⛓️ For writing open-source code. For a protocol I don't control. For transactions I never touched. A jury already couldn't agree this was criminal. But the SDNY prosecutors want to keep trying with the hope of getting a different answer.
⠀ I have a daughter. I have a life in Seattle. I will never stop fighting for freedom. ❤️ But I need to be honest with you: Four weeks of trial. A hung jury. Now they want to do it all over again in October. I have basically exhausted my legal defense funds. And I'm staring down another full federal trial. 😔 Every dollar raised goes directly to keeping this fight alive — attorneys, experts, the full defense apparatus it takes to stand up to the SDNY prosecutors. This isn't abstract. If I can't fund a defense, they win by default. If you care about financial privacy, if you write code and believe that code is speech — this is the moment. 💻🔐 👇

@not_nothingmuch @Blockstream @blksresearch @Liquid_BTC Delving post is in the works.
For one, by creating the first implementation of SHRINCS we did learn more about the scheme and it's parameters and we've written down those learnings in the form of a draft specification.
Our implementation has no formal verification yet.
