    1. SEC X Account Compromised to Falsely Say Bitcoin ETFs Approved
      from Bloomberg.com
      A highly anticipated decision by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on whether to approve a spot-Bitcoin exchange-traded fund quickly morphed into a major cybersecurity incident on Tuesday.

    The Iris #Nostr client on #Android now has a "block and mute" function, so I've started using that against the #spambots.

    Nostr has some great ideas that are way beyond what either #OStatus or #ActivityPub branches of the #Fediverse are doing, but the spam and the fact that there's a really big #Bitcoin "Maxi" faction there are chasing regular people away.

    Jack Dorsey (former #Twitter CEO) was guest on the first episode of "Money Matters". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzvh4AODtWc

    Discussed lots of stuff (about 2:45:00 long). I did not watch the whole thing because of its length. I may try to complete it in smaller chunks.

    > ... an identity-free mechanism that empowers distributed communities cannot avoid over-empowering centralized plutocrats pretending to be distributed communities.

    Vitalik Buterin, _Proof of Stake_, Pt 2, "On Colusion", p. 157

    I've been reading this series of essays by the founder of #Ethereum (also formerly involved with #Bitcoin magazine). They're good reading, with lots of theory discussed by someone much more well-read than I. I love the way he quickly dismisses finance as the primary target of #cryptocurrencies and #blockchains, instead conceiving of a virtualized and distributed computer ... and the way he intently focuses on the costs and benefits of distributed networks and governance systems.

    Note: I still own zero of any cryptocurrencies, despite my belief that minority communities in particular should transact part of their business that way.

    Bunch of #Nostr spam about an Optimism Airdrop. Well, first of all, Nostriches seem to be overwhelmingly Bitcoin-only. I'm sure Optimism is not #Bitcoin. Secondly, hopefully, most people realize by now that if someone spams it at you, it is because THEY get the benefits, NOT YOU.

    That's a thumbs down on "$OP", even without looking at their offer.

    Craig Wright, who claims to be the inventor of #Bitcoin, may sue Apple over the Bitcoin whitepaper being embedded in every copy of MacOSX. https://nu.federati.net/url/290101 [appleinsider com]

    I think #Apple's lawyers would smack him down hard. He's had years to produce proof that he's Satoshi Nakamoto, but has not done so.

    CW is currently involved with the #BSV (Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision) fork of Bitcoin. I haven't looked at much else about BSV, but that's a good enough reason to prefer #BTC and forks such as #BCH & #BTG.

    @geniusmusing To some degree, yes, more users would equal more power used. But that's sort of outside the extreme anti-cryptocurrency realm, where they claim #Bitcoin is #boiling_the_oceans today but have no such criticism for the traditional banking and financial system.

    At one time, #Daddy_A had a small amount of #BTC ( #Bitcoin ), a small amount of #BCH ( Bitcoin Cash https://bitcoincash.org/ ) and an even smaller amount of #BSV ( Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision https://bitcoinsv.com/ ). I should ask him whether he still has any #cryptocurrency.

    It sounds like BSV had some good ideas, but I think most of those were already in the pipeline before BSV split from BCH. I'm talking about things like increasing the block size, so that more transactions can be processed in each ten minute interval. BSV currently has a market-determined variable block size and BCH has a 32MB block size. The original BTC still uses 1MB ... which causes contention for fewer slots inside the block, and raises both transaction costs and the average wait time for transactions to process. AFAIK, BSV is the only member of the Bitcoin family to give major attention to smart contracts ... including creating a new scripting language ( "sCrypt":{https://scrypt.io/} ) to make them easier.

    IMO, "smart contracts" make it easier to create non-financial applications for #blockchains and other ledgers.

    BSV is also tainted by Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/10/21/in-craig-wright-verdict-reality-prevails/

    Watching someone's #Twitch stream. First of all, y'all use waaay too many gamer words.

    Secondly, they in room chat veered into #cryptocurrencies.

    My answer (not available in the chat, because I'm not a member):

    I don't specifically care about the method (cryptographically signed blocks of transactions, chained together via a consensus algorithm), but I care about breaking people free from the control of banksters and believe that should be a priority for all of us.

    That is why I care about #Bitcoin, #Ethereum and similar currencies.

    Speculation about the identity of #Satoshi, the pseudonymous creator of #Bitcoin. Brings lots of coincidences in to support the choice of candidate.

    Probably a much more solid case than Craig Wright’s claim.

    > "Delivering a better online shopping experience isn’t only about price and selection – it’s also important to let people shop however they want, and that extends to offering flexible payment options."
