Why are you waiting a week to post a patch? If it’s serious, this gives enough attention for all black hats on the internet a week head start at trying to exploit users.
Just announce when there is a fix, all this does is give everyone problems. It’s not 2018 anymore this won’t fly.
Copper theft is ever increasing….
Choose the wrong pole though and you can potentially (pun intended) cop the full noise of the energising voltage.
SWER (single wire earth return) is the prime example.
If you become that earth return path, you will cop 12.7-19.1kV
I know multiple people who basically quit working on Bitcoin because of how stressful it is to maintain software that handles money nowadays.
I tell them all the same thing: What do you think will happen if we all quit and become gardeners? Are we just going to give up on the internet? Do we just accept fiat as the end game? Are we just going to let go of the dream of an internet that doesn't exploit your humanity and take away your rights to privacy and self-determination?
I know, fuck, it is hard. But you're not alone.
We must fix this. Nobody else is there to do the necessary work. If we stop doing this, we're 100% doomed. I can guarantee it.
But if we continue, we have a chance.
Inspired by @mempool, I designed and 3D printed these Bitcoin Baby Blocks - each one marked with the block height a new bitcoiner was born.
Printed in dual-colour PLA Silk with glow-in-the-dark accents (glow-in-the-dark pink for girls). Each cube is 6×6×6 cm and weighs ~40g.

Don't answer calls. Let them through to the keeper (Voicemail or text) then verify.
Don't answer thinking you're smarter than them either.

📢 Our incident response investigation identified an attack vector targeting instances running versions 2.4.1 (Jul 23, 2026) or older.
We have no credible reports of hot wallet drains for users running the latest 2.4.7 release. We again urge everyone to keep their BTCPay Server updated.
If you were impacted, please send all details and logs to [email protected]

🚨 We are receiving reports of hot wallets on BTCPay Servers being swept by unauthorized attackers.
If you're running an instance, please shut it down (./btcpay-down.sh) until we complete the investigation.

It's almost like people think this is the first time something like this has happened. These EU morons do not realize just how deeply everyone else is allied against them.
Tusk is done. This is most likely the beginning of the end of the EU. If Tusk thought he could pull a judicial coup while the President was out of the country, he is an idiot.
I expect the story is closer to this:
1) Russia tipped off Nawrocki that Tusk was going to attempt the coup before he left for Senegal to sandbag Tusk into going for the gold.
2) Tusk makes his move with his goon squad.
3) Nawrocki is already on his way back by the time the thing starts. His pilot ignores the ATC and lands anyway
4) Nawrocki storms through the crowd, takes control over the situation and breaks the thing up, having already informed the military brass of what's going on.
5) Tusk has to flee saying, "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those rotten Russians."
...and the rest is just a chase scene (H/T Neal Stephenson).

Sweet. It's a 1 megawatt nuclear microreactor that fits in a shipping container.
Gas-cooled, first by helium, then air.
Runs for five years, then you ship it back to the factory, where they take care of the spent fuel and refuel it.

🇵🇱 Qué grande ese pueblo polaco que, unido y entonando su himno, logró frenar un GOLPE DE ESTADO
Sin disturbios, sin saqueos, y sin quemar ni una papelera.
Esto debería ser un ejemplo para Occidente.

Misleading. The video has nothing to do with current events surrounding the Polish Constitutional Court. The footage was actually posted on YouTube on September 2026.

Happy birthday to Bitcoin!
Satoshi announced it this day, 18 years ago!
Bitcoin the idea is 18 years old! Wherever you are Satoshi, we are in an adolescent phase and hopefully we grow out of it as we’ve strayed wildly from your mission and focus.
Don’t hate us for it, we’re all trying to figure out that we all need to work together.
Cheers legend 🍻

Fascinating thread
Amazing translation capability
A global conversation 👀
亲爱的德国人,你起码犯了两个常识错误。
一、中国没有40平米的房子。除了单身公寓这种数量极少的投资型物业,中国的房子通常在90平以上,大城市在80平以上。
二、奔驰、宝马、奥迪不再是中国人追逐的品牌。现在的中国人喜欢电动车,而德国品牌的电动车被称为杂牌电动车。
当你的基础认知就已经是错误的,你只能得出荒谬的结论。
中国商品之所以物美价廉,是因为中国有齐全且集中的供应链、高效的物流系统、自动化的生产车间,以及规模优势拉低了边际成本。
中国当然也可以为那些优秀的商品定一个昂贵的价格,以换取丰厚的利润。过去你们就是这么干的,现在以我们的产品竞争力,也有条件这么干。
但我们不这么干。
这是因为,提高利润的代价是销量降低。对于你们那个只有几千万人口的国家来说,你们无需追求销量,无需扩大能量,因为你们无需为社会提供那么多的就业岗位。
但我们是一个14亿人口的国家。对我们来说,与其只创造1000个岗位,让这1000人拿一份丰厚的薪水,不如创造10000个岗位,让10000人拿一份普通的薪水。
薄利多销,能够支撑起更大的产能,提供更多的就业岗位。对企业来说,还能获得规模优势,压缩单件商品成本,扩大市场份额,创造更大营收,然后还有了更多的资金投入研发,如此循环滚动。
另一方面,这也大大有利于消费端市场,让全世界的消费者得以享受到物美价廉的中国商品。
想想你们的盾构机。曾经你们以一台 3.5 亿元人民币的价格买给中国。你们自恃垄断了制造技术,宁愿维持一个极低的销量,宁愿让那些发展中国家用不起,也要追求丰厚利润。
中国实现盾构机国产化之后,我们将每台的价格降至3000 万元人民币以下,不到你们价格的1/10。
诚然,我们没有赚到你们那么多的利润,但我们为发展中国家提供了质优价廉的采购选择,促进了那些国家的建设与发展,同时我们扩大了市场份额,创造了更多的生产就业岗位。
我们在做着多方共赢、造福世界的事业,你们则喜欢用技术垄断剥削全世界。当中国打破你们的技术垄断,你们恨得咬牙切齿。因为你们不仅仅是丧失了利润,而且丧失市场份额,丧失了就业岗位。
你们在工业领域的失守,仍在加剧。以前,德国汽车只想要中国的工人和市场,但现在,他们不得不将研发重心也放到中国。
你们愚蠢地与俄罗斯开战,切断了俄罗斯的能源供应。你们几十年去工业化,导致理工科学生数量大幅下降,工程师人才极度缺失。
这样的营商环境,导致你们的企业纷纷关闭德国工厂,迁往中国和美国。
你们失业,你们抗议。但这一切都是你们自己的选择,你们并不无辜。
