GM 🫡 SF walked us through Noderunners Radio, a listener funded station where song requests are paid in sats and most of a Wavlake request goes straight to the artist. Self hosted, self custodial, built track by track. Catch yesterday's #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY if you missed it. Listen: Show notes: @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable image

Pirate Radio with SF, aka @npub1cwzduskqu6yuxjs2a75uptj3vzfa84gv5q3xlkcpzs6usjfey24qvk70dv, live in 1 hour. 9AM EST / 2PM UK. #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY 61. SF runs Noderunners Radio, where listeners pay sats to pick the songs, and splits payouts straight to Wavlake artists. We get into his manifesto for an FM/AM transmitter that broadcasts the Bitcoin network alongside the music, his Lightning tarot machine seeded from block hashes, and what happened when the infrastructure under his project vanished overnight. See you there. @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable image

Before a standup call I'll ask my agents to 'remind me what we did in the past 7 days' and I'm constantly dumbfounded. The output level a single individual can achieve these days while constantly spinning a few agents is absolutely insane. What a time to be alive. image

GM 🫡 Friday's show had Roy from Breez. He said Lightning was never a privacy tool, and around nine nodes handle 80-90% of network volume. We got into why Breez moved from Liquid to Spark after Boltz suspended swaps over AI-assisted attacks, and why Roy picked Spark over Ark. Worth a listen.

GM 🫡 A hidden board inside a tampered Nano X read the seed words straight off the screen's data lines and sent them out over its own cellular modem. It never touched the secure element, so the device still passed Ledger's genuine check. From yesterday's Bitcoin Brief. Listen: Show notes: @MaxUM @Ungovernable image

Anthropic disclosed that its AI agents made unintended requests to federal, state and local government websites during internal testing, including attempts to retrieve data using access tokens and one attempt to get state agency data without paying the required fee. Scope permissions before you grant them to agents. https://kagiproxy.com/img/GaeLgj5hYPWC2WV9iyUn3Y-CyjWSVPiepAeyU_K8OQHVNAENn3lz5hzxOkogP3Or6-_cb4pm9aaz63QeBs0SkBLq81BMdT0hYz4pnBtBAzYpuId1piutHsZbdFfrJRTxCeDzGabghPEcX1ET73tEJ9c7Ct6iDQ
