An important warning for any looking to borrow against their Bitcoin! Considers the ATO's (🤮) interpretation, which is illustrated with an example here: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/investments-and-assets/crypto-asset-investments/decentralised-finance-and-wrapping-crypto#ato-LendingandborrowingwithDeFi

Is this pro-bitcoin? Bitcoin-neutral? Bitcoin-DGAF? https://www.libertarians.org.au/vision_2025 Why constrain the RBA instead of just demolishing it? How about no CGT?

Graphic designers, I will pay sats for a brochure that communicates the following. Please get in touch! I need your help. I'd like to put the wind up auditors and accountants that the standard of evidence that they accept of bitcoin holdings (screenshots, personal declarations) is poor and probably negligent and that their handling of sensitive data (xpubs, wallet descriptors and addresses) likely breaches the Australian Privacy Act. My business offers reports that validate ownership and control using digital signatures (excellent evidence) and help protect bitcoiners' sensitive data. This service can be used by anyone and you don't need to be going through an audit to benefit. It is especially suitable for SMSFs though, which must undergo annual audits.

I posted a "micro-job" on microlancer.io and was swarmed by what looks like scammers. I was really hoping for a good alternative to the mainstream data siphons. I tried the data siphons tpo and I couldn't book a job because my payment was rejected. I'm assuming that this is because I generate a fresh email address for every service that I subscribe to and I use ad and tracker blocking at the browser and DNS levels.

Replaced Nextcloud and Apache with Caddy for reverse proxying and automated TLS certificates. Now running Electrs alongside other self-hosted tools for file sharing, media, and backups—all with encryption in transit. Since Caddy doesn’t handle raw TCP for Electrs, I added Nginx solely to terminate TLS while letting Caddy manage the certificates. Simple, secure, and highly recommended for Bitcoin self-hosters!

PROOF OF KEYS - 3 JAN Digital signatures are the standard for verifying control of bitcoin. Test your backups, challenge your multisig cosigners. Shut your auditor up. Be resilient by using Gatekeeper to run periodic key audits. It's open source, transmits nothing and works offline. https://gatekeeper.certainkey.com.au/

Hold into your hats, boys. Super cycle talk is reemerging.

Is it nanny state when a national park ranger forces a bloke out of his hammock mid-beer because of perceived risk of harm to a tree? Happened to a mate of mine. How to classify? Environmentalist over reach? Fun police? This was no sapling by the look.
