🔒 Study: 72% of subsea cables would need to fail to impact Bitcoin Research from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance has for the first time quantified the critical failure threshold of submarine cables required to significantly impact the Bitcoin network. Conducted by researchers Wenbin Wu and Alexander Neumueller using P2P network data from 2014 to 2025 and 68 verified cable failure events, the study finds that between 72% and 92% of all intercontinental submarine cables would need to fail simultaneously before more than 10% of network nodes disconnect. The network shows greater vulnerability to targeted attacks on strategic cable chokepoints, however, with researchers describing this vector as "an order of magnitude more effective" than random failures — a critical threshold of just 5% to 20% of cables could cause substantial disruption if selectively targeted. The study also highlights the role of Tor in strengthening network resilience. With 64% of Bitcoin nodes concealing their physical location through Tor, and relay infrastructure concentrated in well-connected European countries such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands, researchers conclude that "Tor adoption enhances resilience within the current relay geography, rather than introducing hidden fragilities."

It seems we will also release the 2140 sessions in coming days, this can be a good topic for @NOSTR LONDON / nostr.london meetup as well View quoted note →

more details of the event...it takes placce at ReinsTate ReinsTate is a 'ReSpace Project' and is one part of the bigger picture. You can find more about the bigger picture on the website www.respacealliance.org The ReSpace Alliance is a pioneering network uniting people, councils and businesses around one mission: to turn waste into opportunity. This isn't just a vision; it's a proven, three-stage process for creating real community change. We reconnect the dots between empty buildings, underused materials and untapped skills, transforming them into thriving hubs for learning, enterprise, creativity and care. E16 2DN City Airport DLR (Take the Drew Road Exit - via the lift or the steps to the left after going down the escalators)  (30 mins East from London Bridge, 45 mins from Hackney, 50 mins from Shepherds Bush, 40 mins from Lewisham)

This is the invatation to join the ceremony of the 2140.wtf at E16 2DN We do hope this will help to recognise, we are entering the portal to experience the quantum leap this Friday. Guess what colour "bigos" has? This super-ancient meal to be cooked by Chef @MadMunky2140 - yes, orange! This dish was used by the Shamans of the Slavic peoples, 1000 years ago, they used several different mushrooms, prepared in various ways to facilitate healings and spirit journeys, very much in the same way that use of peyote is sacred to the Native Americans. This time we are using mushrooms from Sainsbury's but... the vortex opens at 6pm and tribal music will close the experience at 11pm The year is 2026 and Bitcoin+Nostr meetups are literally turning into ceremonies !! {nprofile1qqs0d3y7rdahzp4j02yz2jcklmsdsd0u3t9pmduw9gxtnglh38zp4jgrfwv5v was right! }

Have you heard about #nostrbrain? #asknostr First public talk about nostr brain at our Bitcoin + Nostr megameetup this Friday.. Plus #bigos from Master Chef #foodstr @MadMunky2140

We are going to discuss the AI, self hosted LLMs, public LLMs and how they can help within bitcoin/nostr start-up environments, at the upcoming meetup this Friday There is also a project #Bhive
