…good ol’ “temporary” PATRIOT Act 🙄

I agree. Pure theater, for the sake of justifying that good ok’

Assuming you speak of the US… comparing to the Schengen area to us, is like compare domestic travel from state to state. And even then, there are no passports involved. The US is more than 2x the size of the entire Schengen area.

More like rest in pieces. An active agent shilling the biological weapon unleashed on the world during the plandemic. I’ll let Lord sort that one out.

Yeah I understand that. And upon further thought, I understand now what is being done.

Leaker site generates a burner Session ID (keeps all generated ID on a database/list) ⇒ 12-digit fingerprint is generated from ID/phrase (kept in same list) ⇒ donor “recovers” the burner Sesh ID as a means of opening a communication channel with leaker ⇒ donor sends 400XMR plus the decimal fraction ⇒ upon leaker confirming the transaction, they cross-reference the fingerprint with the SeshID and only /then/ do they reach out.

I was tripped up thinking there was some function of arriving at the SeshID merely from the fingerprint. But the leaker is controlling the ID generation; he’s just appending the 12-digit fingerprint as a means to help determine what SeshID sent the XMR, and who to reach out to.

Could someone explain the 12 decimal to Session ID piece? Is the website generating the Session ID, prompting the potential “donor” to jot down the phrase to “recover” on their end? Is the 12 decimal then generated by some cryptographic function of the aforementioned Session ID or the phrase? If so, how’s it then calculated back from decimal to phrase/ID?

I’m not an expert in cryptography 🙃 but very curious.

I have a set of Ra Optics because they were highly recommended. I know Dr. Kruse mentions Lucia Optics as well. And recently, we sprung for a red light lamp from the guys at Elios… and they also have a good set at https://shop.evolutamente.it/ They even come in clip-on form, which is a budget-friendly way to mitigate blue light if you use prescription and don’t want to get a new set every time your prescription changes/drifts.

How so? Just hearing of Monfluo. Been using Cake occasionally.

That makes sense. And even though every address’ activity is relatively transparent, one can infer that a BlockClock owner with a non-local setup (Start9, Umbrel, etc.), may be an owner of at least one ColdCard device (if they were a fan of the ecosystem)… and that device might be part of the subset of devices that generated insufficient entropy in their seeds.

With that foreknowledge in mind, that filters the set of vulnerable addresses significantly in the attackers favor. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I don’t know much about the BlockClock, but a cursory search say it’s able to show balances (if linked)? That makes this whole shit-show magnitudes of levels worse. If the thing is pinging back to CoinKite with this info, they’ve been able to zero in on who’s bag is worth exploiting 👀

Wonder what the overlap is on those who owned a BlockClock and those affected 🤔 @Ben Justman🍷
