Consider curating friends with higher Social Credit scores than mine... Just exhumed this gem from my Twitter graveyard 👇 nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq9r5ra0rklhax40gja47lufh6rdpqyygq6z4ehmslug8u9laxlzlqqsdpe8l9ewcvv4uaelywmm7ersuxmjsr6ghamymnx8qt9d5w7wqulsrcanan

Why #Monero CLI Proves #XmrBazaar Mediators Aren't Escrow Services, Per the Letter of the Law ...and Why Sticking to the Letter of the Law May Not Shield You (or the Samourai Devs) from a Desperate State Beast #freesamourai https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/why-monero-cli-proves-xmrbazaar-mediators

6 years ago today, #RandomX went live on #Monero mainnet. Still no ASICs in sight... Anyone with a modern laptop can still mine real private money. Hashrate followed CPU evolution and remained decentralized. Quietly one of the most successful experiments in cryptocurrency history. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX

Just use it!

Meet the future #Monero and #XmrBazaar user! https://blossom.primal.net/1eeaac098947c6726eed23d4302b701df84e063d6d74edab90ef9dafa5b95c14.mp4

One friend just called the Bob Dylan's painting from my last letter (https://aillia.substack.com/p/roads-less-traveled) "awful AI slop, not even a good one." Another said the whole piece "feels AI-generated". People’s attitudes are messed up in an interesting way: they can’t differentiate anymore: everything is suspect as AI slop. Thanks to this, we’ve entered Hesse’s Age of the Feuilleton from The Glass Bead Game: "The most important consequence of this new attitude… was that men largely ceased to produce works of art. Moreover, intellectuals gradually withdrew from the bustle of the world." I can’t prove I’m not a bot to X or anyone anymore. The only "proof" left seems to be historical records, ID, or biometrics... and that’s not happening in my case. I’m exhausted from proving my humanness, not just to Twitter, but to friends too. Taking a break from being online. At least Bob Dylan never had to prove he isn’t a bot to anyone. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqu7am0te8kuk9valwgt9j45k6s5y7qsvytnqzvcg6ycuhxawdv5tqythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzqqa35wa2jct4axnvyzss3php4qyfxpcpgmpa8f0e6srk0qqzyv8hvhtsf6

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. - Fernando Pessoa

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. - Ernest Hemingway, “Notes on the Next War”, Esquire, 1935

LMAO, I think I'm in trouble on X again(!) (Why TF is a cybersecurity meme getting auto-labeled as sensitive content there?! ...disclaimer: the author never labelled it herself!) https://blossom.primal.net/5057514e1a7eef269cbff38b43c56df07074a2ea1170d3595e50c327809f59a6.mp4

The funniest thing has officially happened to the International Association for Cryptologic Research. Proof that no matter how perfect the cryptography, it’s only as good as the humans holding the keys.

To the "don’t trust the system" and "begging won’t help" privacy cynics: I’m one of you. I don’t trust the state (any state!) one bit. I live behind Tor/VPNs, I literally burn devices, no IP, no ID, no KYC, "everyone is a fed" mentality & building the parallel economy that will one day make the state irrelevant. But some of our brothers are already inside the state's meat grinder: jailed for writing code that protects YOU. They can’t do anything anymore. They can only stare at a signature counter and hope. You know that little dopamine hit when the notification bell goes +1… of course you know - you see this msg on some social network ;) For them, every new signature is that bell. Except theirs decides whether they walk free or rot in a cage. You don’t have to "believe in the system". Just give them one more red notification, one more dopamine hit, one more spark of hope. If your heart is too armored for empathy, borrow mine. Fight on both fronts... anonymously/pseudonymously. #FreeSamourai https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

PSA #XmrBazaar: Active fake/wrapped token scam in the Exchange category A user (BigWhale1) is trying to scam people by “sending” BEP-20 LTC on the BNB Smart Chain. The transaction is real and will show up on BSCScan with your correct wallet address Example TX: https://bscscan.com/tx/0x409737e986ed63868ccbc86d68272d0d8d84cda2ab1ba6b3b3e32b8806d382c7 What looks like “5.27 LTC” being sent to you is actually a completely fake token. How to spot it instantly: - Click the token name “LTC” in the transaction details - You’ll be taken to the fake contract: 0xacdb…2dfe - Real Binance-Peg Litecoin lives at: 0x4338665CBB7B2485A8858A139b75D5e34AB3DB94 - The fake one has almost no holders, no liquidity, and $0 value This is a classic dusting/impersonation scam! You didn’t receive any real LTC: nothing of value was sent!!! Stay safe and always double-check the contract address! https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/5/post/614/#post_614

It would mean a lot if you would sign this petition calling on Donald Trump to pardon Keonne and Bill https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools In 30 days they will report to prison.
