I built an open-source chain analysis tool that anyone can use.
It requires no payment, no login, and no data you search is ever seen by Tracey’s server.
Everything you search in Tracey is processed directly in your browser.
All of Tracey’s heuristics are public and have clearly described shortcomings. The entire website comes with tooltips explaining to you what each step does. Most of its clustering rules are pulled from the disclosed research papers, some I wrote myself to be more conservative.
I built Tracey for myself, but thought it might be useful to other people as well – especially in light of all the recent thefts of funds. It can’t help you create evidence, but it may help you find some leads on where your money is moving on bitcoin. 1/4 🔽

Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic.
Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."
Furthermore, writing is the foundation of nearly every technology and innovation because we have to record what we know before we can build upon it. And these innovations are passed down from generation to generation, allowing our children to inherit a richer intellectual fortune than what we were born into. The world is richer because we write and nobody is made poorer in the process.
was reviewing old notes for my first full-length collection when I stumbled upon a 2017 bookmark, which was a year after I began formalizing drafts for this manuscript
Ludwig, man, you are sorely missed by this world, or perhaps one could say, this world has you, missing in it

One could infer from this that I'm a non-practicing Catholic. Yes, I wanted to become a Jesuit when I was 17.
Now I'm unemployed.

Sad to share I have been let go from The Block.
It’s been a great two years working with some of the best journalists in crypto media. I’m proud of the stories I wrote, the edits I made and the people I got to know. I wish the team all the best as the company tries to rightsize. It’s been a difficult time for crypto media, with many worthy competitors cutting back or closing down entirely — but if any firm could weather the storm, it is likely The Block.
This could not have come at a worse time. My wife and I are expecting a baby girl next month and we just closed on an apartment.
If you know of any role in media, research, content or otherwise that could use a strong writer/editor with deep crypto knowledge, experience breaking and shaping stories under deadline, and a track record of thriving in fast-moving newsrooms as well as putting together long-term editorial packages, I’d be grateful to hear about it. Happy to share clips or chat.

i recommend anyone who travels to use grapheneos and set up a duress pin & pw (and rotate both before every trip). the chances of being forced to unlock your phone, whether at a border crossing or somewhere on the street, are only going up in this insane world. it's _your_ fucking phone, your data, and your private life. nobody except you has any right to access its contents. period.

Negros Island Region Police have formed a Special Investigation Task Group (SITG) to fast-track the investigation into the fatal shooting of an American Marine Biologist, Dr. Kent Carpenter, inside his home in Sibulan, Negros Oriental.
According to the Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR), the incident happened at around 11:30 p.m. on July 12 in Purok 3, Barangay Ajong, Sibulan.
Initial investigation showed that three still unidentified men allegedly forced their way into the victims’ residence while the American and his 34-year-old Filipina companion were watching television.
One of the suspects, reportedly armed with a handgun, allegedly shot the American in the head, killing him on the spot. His companion was also injured during the attack and is undergoing medical and forensic examination.
Police said the newly formed Special Investigation Task Group “Carpenter” will focus on intelligence gathering, evidence processing, case buildup, and the identification and arrest of the suspects.
Authorities are also conducting forensic examinations, reviewing possible CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, validating intelligence reports, and reconstructing the suspects’ movements before and after the attack.
Investigators said they are pursuing all possible motives behind the killing and have coordinated with other law enforcement units and partner agencies to help identify and apprehend those responsible.| via @jeffcaparas
