Contribute to a repo? 1. DO THIS NOW: Update your repos with a SECURITY.md to help make contacting you easy when others find vulnerabilities and want to disclose responsibly 2. Then focus on: Now use today’s “frontier” AI model for cyber which is Moonshot’s Kimi k3 The US ai models are unfortunately borked and unable to find vulnerabilities, confirm with working exploits, or help build patches/solutions; everything Kimi can do in a single (well crafted) shot

Code RED: Priority support for red teaming

OpenSats is launching a new grant track to support people red teaming Bitcoin software.

Thanks @npub1emdt...c9aw You mate, are a bloody legend 👑 Spending the last few days focusing on pointing KimiK3 at the wider bitcoin ecosystem beyond your own significant responsibilities at Anchorwatch is noted and appreciated - the responsible disclosures are helping other teams and projects close vulnerabilities that were unknown and exploitable I'm aware you've pushed back on posting a donation address for people who want to contribute to the costs you incurred BUT GUESS WHAT? As @HODL would say: YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS! So I zapped you on nostr and there's nothing you can do about it Anyone could zap your nostr handle and there's not a damn thing you can do about it 🧡

Chat control in the EU So the bureaucracy created a procedural loophole to overturn the EU Parliament’s very clear prior ‘NO’ vote on chat control Horrendous outcome that now enables the bureaucracy to force scanning, logging and recording of every message you send/receive Yet the real news is the mask-off moment that the EU Parliament is only a circus and utterly irrelevant in any decision making role in EU If the EU Parliament let this stand then they may as well resign, and pack up and go home for good Europe has fallen so far 😞

Awesome people like @npub1l65a...sfth are doing incredible work all around the world 🌎 🧡 Build the world you want to see

Jurisdictions that restrict access to AI is a lot like the brainiac logic of restricting access to Bitcoin Ultimately they’re self-selecting out of a global network that empowers their citizens because <reason> FOSS and Open networks are ALWAYS the long term winners; not any different in AI Never go full retard Good advice then; still good now

@MartyBent on point: Cause the problem. Ignore the root cause. Punish the reaction. Blame the communication platform. .. and .. Tighten the surveillance Crack down on “unrest” Authoritarian playbook from history getting dusted off and ramped up

Travel rule & kissing the ring Does not apply to exchanges sending to plebs holding their own keys .. so exchanges will ask you to confirm you hold those keys Confirmation is as simple as an attestation, but some exchanges will want to over-comply and talk about white-listing your addresses, or requesting you to sign messages Smarter exchanges will implement support for Silent Payments so they *and their customers* have less friction and improved privacy. Less friction because as a customer you only have to provide your SP address once, and every withdrawal comes into a discrete address in your wallet; that means ongoing use continues to validate your attestation. Better privacy .. because that's what Silent Payments is all about .. re-usable addresses that preserve privacy. If you're curious and want to learn more 1. Go play with the new version of Sparrow Wallet on your desktop, or Cake wallet on your mobile; learn through doing! 2. Go dig into the explanation of how this works at https://bitcoin.design/guide/how-it-works/silent-payments/ .. or both! And then go ask your exchange when they're deploying support for your Silent Payments address! If you’re wondering what Silent
