Looking at the merkle branches that mining pools send to miners as part of stratum jobs, it's clear that the BTCcom pool, Binance pool, Poolin, EMC...

MEVil (or centralizing MEV) is one of the biggest threats to bitcoin’s value, but it’s poorly understood. I wrote about what it is (and isn’t) and how developers and bitcoiners must consider it carefully if we want bitcoin to survive. Notably, we need to be incredibly careful when we’re looking at the new wave of bitcoin L2s - rollups can be incredibly nasty for the destruction of bitcoin - or not.

It’s time for miners to wake up and start migrating to Sv2. Mining centralization is as bad as it’s ever been and the bullishness on bitcoin is totally unjustified given miners don’t seem to care about bitcoin in the slightest. If it doesn’t get better nearly every PoS chain is literally going to be more decentralized and censorship resistant than bitcoin. If you care about Bitcoin you are responsible for fixing this. Pressure miners.

There’s a huge gap in the perception of self-driving cars between San Franciscans and everyone else. And it’s not because of the hype cycles that dominate SF tech - it’s because SF people replaced Uber with Waymo a year ago and haven’t looked back at the comparatively-terrible product of Uber.

Probably Ubuntu as well, given it’s based on Debian Testing, but I haven’t checked. View quoted note →

Looks like someone managed to get a backdoor into ssh in Fedora and Debian testing. Patch systems ASAP.
