IRS gonna have a rough 2026

🐐

Nice chat. Great to see work being done on this. I wonder if it also works with payjoin?

I really hope OpenSats is gonna run their own fulcrum. Otherwise another accidental honeypot beyond what already exists like Samourai’s server seizure is gonna happen again.

@craigraw does Anthropic’s Mythos represent a threat to layer two Bitcoin software and if so have folks been taking steps to address it?

There’s a big difference between ephemeral and non-ephemeral data storage.

the payjoin foundation should run a fulcrum/frigate server

We will for the people we pay because we already know there addresses. It won’t be public.

maybe we will do the same

Silent Payments are so awesome. I’m looking forward to more adoption. If you ever want to test them out @The Rage has a silent payment address for donations. 🤙

Was a great conversation 🙏

Android privacy is an oxymoron, would be nice if this was available on iOS.

awesome 🔥 By the way, would you follow me back? It is so hard to grow on Nostr

There is no such thing as a secure and private mobile device. The closest you can get is one that's completely air gapped through hardware mods. It's all a question of risk management (i.e. quantity of data or coin exposed to/by the device) and trade-offs (i.e. you get to select who has your device root, and then assume other sophisticated actors will get it as well).

There are plenty of ways for the average person to mitigate their identity without being air gapped, but for arguments sake, I’ll agree. Unfortunately, that doesn’t change anything about my comment, Android security is like having a screen door on a submarine, if it weren’t true, teams like graphene wouldn’t exist. The point was never to insinuate that an iPhone is unhackable, just that security is a higher priority for them, otherwise they wouldn’t be the only devices allowed to store confidential NATO material on them. I also doubt the only reason that an iPhone went to space, was because it was a better build quality.

Confidential NATO material? I assume that's a joke, right?

Yeah - 'restricted' is like what's on the lunch menu.
