Situation Update: Ledger can confirm that one of the impacted users’ devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger is reaching out to impacted users as part of the ongoing investigation. If you have information regarding the investigation, please reach out to Ledger’s bounty program: [email protected]. As a measure of precaution CryptoBilis confirmed it has ceased sales of all hardware wallet inventory until the investigation is concluded. Ledger is in active communication with CryptoBilis on next steps. Ledger is working with the appropriate authorities to bring the bad actors to justice, and thanks @SEAL_911 for their collaborative support on the investigation. We have no indication that Ledger’s security infrastructure, systems or services have been compromised. As a reminder, Ledger recommends users who purchased a Ledger device from this reseller to not initiate set up if they have not yet done so. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with a new seed). Security is a constantly evolving landscape; Ledger is continuously adding security mitigations and is working on further, enhanced anti-tampering solutions. Scammers often try to take advantage of incidents like this. Rely only on official Ledger channels for updates, and remember: Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. For assistance or questions, contact Ledger customer support through our official channels: support.ledger.com

For now Nano X and Flex have confirmed implants, but I haven't see any of the other ones yet.

This looks like this could be exactly what I'm investigating. Anyone affected, please contact me or open your ledger and send me pictures so we can confirm if there's a bug in there (pictures: ledger board on top, spy implant below). teapawt.org/Ledger_Support/status/…
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses. Reach out to Ledger customer support through official channels with any questions: support.ledger.com/

One way to prevent replay from Spamcoin, is to include a clownface.jpg in an OP_RETURN output. That's not valid on Bitcoin.

CONVOY is excited to officially re-launch our pool. Originally known as Eligius, and successor to OCEAN, CONVOY continues the decentralization mission. DATUM Gateway, now under CONVOY's stewardship, has finally released 0.5.0beta, updating it for Bitcoin's new proof-of-work algorithm, and the many features that come with it. 🚀 DATUM is an open-source protocol that lets miners truly solo mine, building their own block templates, while still participating in pooled reward sharing. It’s crucial for mining decentralization, and used by most of the network today. Download DATUM Gateway v0.5.0beta now in the links below!

What else is new in v0.5.0beta? - Protections against block withholding attacks - macOS support (requires building from source for now) - Separate local share acceptance/rejection statistics - Resuming interrupted pool connections without losing work - Many other reliability, validation, and protocol-hardening fixes

Since USAID was dismantled, the left has not won a single election in Latin America, by the way.

It makes me very suspicious that xbt is not listed on coinbase, kraken or binance. If they can list millions of other shitcoins, why not xbt? Answer: xbt is pure sound money and not a shitcoin.
