If you have to go into settings to be private, you already lost.
Surprise, surprise - WhatsApp isn't end-to-end encrypted. Yes, you can go out of your way to turn off all the AI features - which are tied to features like saving images from chats to your phone - if you want. But who is really going to do that. Defaults matter.

the big question that lies ahead for rbitcoin is: how can we be sure that there won't be a consensus divergence with bitcoin core (or some other dominant implementation)? the current answer is that rbitcoin has a comprehensive (probably the most comprehensive) suite of consensus tests which fully validate its consensus implementation on every build. that combined with running differential fuzz and 70+ of core's functional test scripts every night is what gives me the confidence to (recklessly?) run it as my sole source of truth for my wallets going forward. development of rbitcoin has led to one additional consensus test case being proposed for bitcoin core, 3 consensus differences being raised with rust-bitcoin (one already rejected because it is historical only and no historical block hit it), and 4-5 additional consensus rules being proposed for hornet. what would it take for you to trust rbitcoin to stay in consensus with bitcoin core?

NEW: Money For AI Q3 Update 📄 Earlier this year, we studied which forms of money AI models would choose for four financial tasks: saving for the future, making payments, setting prices/keeping accounts, and settling payments. For our Q3 follow-up, we tested 13 new models using the same questions and classification method. The same broad pattern emerged: • Bitcoin was selected in 70.8% of responses to savings questions. • Stablecoins were selected in 73.5% of responses to questions about paying for goods and services. These results show a clear distinction between saving and spending: the latest models continue to favor Bitcoin for holding value over time and stablecoins for everyday payments. As AI agents take on more financial tasks, these preferences could influence which forms of digital money they use. Read the full results on our website at: moneyforai.org/v2

Kulpreet Singh (@jungly) is building p2poolv2, a decentralized mining pool. Pools are one of bitcoin’s last big points of centralization, and p2poolv2 nixes the operator entirely, letting miners coordinate peer to peer and make payouts without middlemen.

jpegs got us: - more wallets - more sighash and multisig tooling - more users - more mining fees - fun - convinced the most obnoxious people to fork off - …noncustodial ecash?
2 years ago me and the boys on a secret crypto gist on github trying to put the htlc into an ecash token so that the mint would never have to hold customer funds. turns out it's the same problem as doing JPGs. we got it boys! gist.github.com/callebtc/41f…

Are you an educator who'd like to read Resistance Money, the first comprehensive academic monograph on bitcoin? DM; I'll send you a copy. Interested in otherwise bringing bitcoin content to your classrooms? I can help with that too.
