Apparently, the Lockbit ransomware gang bragged early on that their home base was in The Netherlands.

Somehow I missed this. Turns out, they weren't lying about that, at least in terms of their infrastructure.

Was das Bitcoin-Halving bedeutet

Am Wochenende kÜnnte es zum nächsten sogenannten Halving beim Bitcoin kommen. Ob es die Kurse der ältesten Kryptowährung aber tatsächlich beeinflusst, darßber wird gestritten. Worum geht es konkret?

People are buying this stock not as a solid investment but as a symbol of allegiance, which is cult thinking. The stock is massively overvalued and these small retail investors are going to end up taking a bath that they can't afford to take. They're going to lose their retirements, all for a man who would loathe them individually and to whom their only value is the money they can give them. They're not even being (actively) defrauded. They're doing it to themselves.

Justice James Mellor:

"Dr. Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.

Second, Dr. Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" in the period 2008 to 2011.

Third, Dr. Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System.

And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software."

Full written judgment still to come.

Idea i'm surprised hasn't happened yet:

MicroCoin. A blockchain currency backed by a tech giant. It seems to me it'd be both crypto and fiat. It could easily become the world's reserve currency. Msft could arrogate all the power of the banking cartel in-house.

Will someone who actually understands economics explain to me why we're still using dollars?

@Uair @actuallyautistic a couple reasons, but mainly because no electronic devices are secure. Ever. Second reason is paper money gives better anonymity.

Bitcoin hit an all-time closing high on Thursday at $69,294, an astonishing rebound from a crash in 2022 that saw the cryptocurrency fall 77% to $15,800. Despite the upward trend, skeptics warn its price levels are increasingly unstable. The Street explains. https://flip.it/aTLrVQ

    CoinWatch, segui il valore delle criptovalute

    Sappiamo bene che le criptovalute non vanno a genio a chiunque, dunque vi avvisiamo fin da subito così evitiamo di far perdere tempo a chi magari non ne è interessato: CoinWatch è un’applicazione open source per visualizzare in tempo reale il valore di (quasi) tutte le criptovalute.

    Uno strumento dunque sicuramente molto utile per chi interessato a questo mercato e ci sembra sensato, senza dare troppi giudizi in merito, suggerire questa bella applicazione open source.

    I dati sono presi in tempo reale e in automatico grazie alle API del sito Coinranking. Abbiamo notato che c’è un limite di 10mila richieste mensili gratuite su questo sito dunque è lecito pensare che in futuro se ci fosse un uso intensivo dell’applicazione potrebbero esserci problemi in questo senso. Attualmente tuttavia questo non è un problema reale perché evidentemente l’applicazione non è ancora così tanto conosciuta e funziona bene e senza limiti.

    CoinWatch

    Il funzionamento è per ora molto semplice e basilare, non c’è alcun tipo di impostazione se non la possibilità di avere delle criptovalute preferite da vedere in primo piano e prima di tutte le altre. È presente uno storico orario, giornaliero, settimanale o mensile. Altrimenti per ogni criptovaluta si può vedere il rendimento negli ultimi 3 mesi, un anno e 5 anni. Nello stesso momento è possibile vedere quale è il valore minimo e quello massimo durante il periodo da voi selezionato.

    L’applicazione come detto è open source e oltre al Play Store è possibile scaricarla anche direttamente da GitHub e magari aggiornata tramite Obtainium.

    Ultima piccola curiositĂ : alcune immagini sono prese dal progetto open source unDraw del quale vi avevamo parlato qualche tempo fa!

    Is there a law that describes how the rapid growth in renewable energy is outpaced by the growth in the dumb ways we think of to use that energy?

    @mennodeij@mastodon.social avatar

    @davidho I propose “Law of finance”, where medium-size country budgets of energy are used for literally nothing else than to get “proof of work”.

    And all this is then covered in bullshit that all the fanbois are consuming without questioning it, and regurgitating said bullshit to no end when challenged on their planet-wide destruction to get a few bucks.
