This sideways action is pretty frustrating tbh. Show us some volatility.

What do privacy enthusiasts think about this? Biometric ID and crypto pay?

Tools for Humanity, the company behind the app, is seeking to expand its "real human network."

My friend that lives in Tunbridge Wells tells me that there are huge queues outside Primark for Christmas shopping. At this point, humanity is lost. 🤣

Am confounded by the idea that Elon Musk is a tech genius bringing back freedom of speech. On the rare occasion I venture onto the platform to make a post. It is claimed that "it looks like this post might be automated". Remember, various account on X of mine suffered all manner of shadowbanning, some removed. Meanwhile, our Crypto Statto X account is permanently banned because of sharing a Nostr endpoint of a publicly available API. Have given up posting on our company web page. The only thing keeping me there are contacts that have not discovered how great Nostr is. Am certain if I start espousing how great Nostr is, other accounts will get suspended too.

Sell some Coinbase shares or Bitcoin? I'll wait!

Zero-knowledge security with Nostr. There is zero need to tie a person to the need to authenticate themselves in many circumstances.Most OAUTH providers forces one to go through these many hoops to allow their user to dox their self. We investigated using Hashicorp vault for our trading platform's security. We went through the process of installing a vault on our container, hooking our trading software up. It is no doubt a cool technology. The primary reason for veering away from Hashicorp was its need for trusted administrators. Which means centralisation of security. The second reason - relying upon a central authority carries risk. It turns out that Nostr has awesome tools for security. Indeed, you don't need a genuine Nostr account to benefit from the generation of public and private keys. Totally mindblowing. You can take an extra step and run

NostrTool

locally. In a few days we have added a Nostr Authorisation process and Signature process to our API. Meaning that clients will be able to enter a key which sticks extra data onto it to secure their sensitive data. Furthermore, we won't just use Nostr. There are plans for other providers to give customers the choice. However, Nostr is another level. Of course, we could have written our own approach and discounted Nostr, maybe we will. OAUTH is overly complicated. Try setting up any main OAUTH API, they change interfaces, things break, we have deplatforming. You can read about our trading platform here.

Zero Knowledge Trust Security Technology for Cloud Applications 11 Dec 2025

Who watched Michael Saylor's keynote yesterday? Took some time to absorb what he was saying and would need to see a more detailed plan. Naturally checked the video was genuine. The strong impression most will feel from watching it was; - Big wins as all the top politicians thinking his proposal is a great idea - Big wins as all the top financial institutions are buying into generating cash flows from a projected continual upside in Bitcoin - A pretty miserly return for investors from the stripping feature of Strategy's financialisation of Bitcoin - Bewilderment. Bitcoin has all manner of Innovations to lower fees, increase usage as currency and now it transpires that governments and financial institutions want to lock it up as a bond equivalent This honest assessment is that retail were far too scared off by mainstream media and government, not accumulating Bitcoin and now retail will be in a similar position to other asset classes. The game is more balanced compared to most. Am not a Bitcoin maximalist, but this does not feel to be a good way forwards.

Why. Zero Knowledge Trust makes a lot of sense.

An update on the progress of releasing our automated trading software. The software has been running locally on four separate machines for months now. There are two other collaborators on our project. The challenging aspect is deploying a cloud based version with Zero Knowledge Trust. The first protocol will be using Nostr. We have all the pieces in place, just creating workflows. The key advantage of our software is it is you owning your trading keys and not putting them on centralised automated trading rules engine. It is now the 8th December, 2025. The local version will be ready to test next week. Our aim was to launch a full version for us to test in the cloud by Xmas. This seems unlikely and our aim is to deploy a minimal version soon. You can read more about the software here.
