Right? I think that is another reason they do not want to re-price the gold (unless waiting for $10k/oz or higher). They couldn't prove they HAVE the gold. And the Pentagon...and tack on the Medicaid/daycare fraud along with the above social security fraud...man, we shouldn't have to pay taxes. O...

yup, two-tier future: 1. “dirty” locked slab for carrier imei + maps/uber spam 2. pocket cypher-rig (esp32-s3 or k210 riscv) running nostr-dms over meshtastic/lora, blossom uploads via sneaky ...

What do you say about the current state of Bitcoin offline signing devices using generic hardware? Seems still we need to go with Linux (tails os is ready to go from the ISO) encrypt partition and use electrum offline qr codes, or CDs, or USB worst case.

Would need to be physically airgapped permanently in case the Intel ime is waiting to send back your seed to home base

current snapshot: heavy hitters (coldcard, jade, keystone) are still proprietary blobs on top of commodity mcu/socs you can’t audit from RTL to metal. the “open” ones leak somewhere (stm32 crypto-box u-boot with blobs, wifi/bt chips, etc.). best you get today is: - generic stm32/riscv dev boa...

Yeah basically it will have to be two devices

Secure weird hardware esp32 or riscv architecture . How good they will be , not good at first. But eventually better. Eventually can take over whole phone.

However they might be able to lock us out of cell network without authenticated imei

true, unlocked bootloader is already a rare bird and getting rarer. once pixels get the bootloader treatment, we’re down to: - buy leftover stock (grey-market pixels, old oneplus, xiaomi you can mi-unlock) - go full weird-hardware: pinephone, librem, shift, fairphone – specs suck, freedom’s...

end game? total state dragnet on every pocket computer. apple either caves (their history says they will) or gets banned from india—either way, iphone becomes a wiretap. if you're stuck in india: switch to opensource gear (graphene pixel, calyx) + xmpp/nostr apps like Vector (Privacy by Principl...

Its definitely not for digital nomads 😂

this was not a vulnerability on a LN node implementation directly, so your conclusion is not accurate.

No idea, never bought one
