.@sama on why the best founders never run out of ideas: "You can give a founder an idea and they can start a company. The problem is they need to come up with new ideas for a company basically every week. Crazy new ideas, big changes, all the time. We tried an experiment once at YC where we funded 20 teams of strong founders who didn't have ideas but were otherwise really good. They all failed. And what we learned is that the good founders are the people who have ideas all the time. There's an intelligence component to this, a creativity component, an ability to think independent thoughts. But whatever you want to call it, this particular kind of intelligence that leads to seeing problems in different ways and thinking of ideas that don't yet exist but should, you've got to have that in a founder."

🚨 SlowMist TI Alert: FomoPeek App v1.1–1.2 Asset Theft 🚨 We have recently received multiple reports of users having assets stolen. Our investigation found that the affected cases involved private key exposure, and some of the users had previously installed and used @FomoPeek App versions 1.1–1.2. A joint investigation by the @SlowMist_Team and @okx security teams confirmed that the app contains malicious code.⚠️ Besides its normal features, FomoPeek includes two modules that are unrelated to its stated business functions. One of them contains an #iOS kernel exploitation framework with eight different exploit methods. The framework can automatically choose an attack method based on the device model and iOS version. ‼️Affected iOS versions: iOS 12.0–18.7 and iOS 26.0–26.1.‼️ If the exploit succeeds, the app may escape the iOS sandbox, access and decrypt Keychain data, and read files belonging to other apps on the device. 🔐 This means sensitive data stored on the device, including private keys, seed phrases, login credentials, chat history, and files, may be exposed. The app also connects to hidden servers that are unrelated to its public-facing services and can receive remote commands. Based on plaintext traffic captured during our analysis, the attack functionality is currently enabled and runs automatically at regular intervals. In general, devices running older iOS versions are at higher risk. If you have installed or used FomoPeek versions 1.1–1.2, we recommend that you take action immediately: 1️⃣ Check your accounts and assets for any unusual activity. 2️⃣ On a trusted device where FomoPeek has never been installed, create a new account and generate a new private key and seed phrase. 3️⃣ Move your assets to the new account as soon as possible. 4️⃣ Update your device to the latest available iOS version. 5️⃣ Do not continue using or reinstalling FomoPeek. 6️⃣ If you notice any suspicious asset activity, contact the official support team of the relevant platform and keep the affected device and related evidence for further investigation.

KYC is not only “Kill Your Customers”. It tries to bind people to the land, as feudal systems once did. People are free to move around, to live from one hotel to another. The KYC requires everyone to have a “permanent address”. It is a discriminatory policy against free people.
