The Binance post-mortem is out, and no key was stolen. An engineer searching for an AI coding tool installed a tampered Homebrew. Another took a coding test from a fake recruiter on a real job platform. From there the attackers hopped to two more machines and the wallet signing service itself. Fake recruiters and poisoned installers target anyone who runs code. Not just exchanges.

A 23-year-old Bitcoin holder in France, targeted for the second time since 2022. Men tried to kidnap him at his father's home. He fired a pistol at them. Four days later he was sentenced to thirty months and a fifteen-year weapons ban, because the attackers were already running. The police couldn't protect him. Then they took away his ability to protect himself.

Miguel Medeiros builds Ghostly using Ghostly. His agents live in the messenger alongside his friends. Several machines, each with its own agents, share one war room chat where they coordinate and decide when a patch goes out. He can talk to one agent for two hours while he gets on with his day and it directs the others. And he can drop another person and their agent into the same group to build features together.

"Any competent dev just stops being a dev working on their own stuff and now manages a massive team." Max on what AI agents do to developers. The clankers do 10, 20, 100 times the work you could in a day, and you review it and handle the important parts. It's a different skill set. But there are levels to it, and the better a dev you are, the more you get done.

Miguel Medeiros came back from the red team Bitcoin meetup at Plan B Lugano with a blunt view: if you're a developer not using AI agents right now, that's a security issue. "They have more context than us. We cannot have that many things connected at the same time." His rule is to lean on CI and deterministic tests so the agents can't drift. Ghostly gets two agent bug hunts a day, and the agents find and patch the bugs themselves.

Max asked Miguel Medeiros to dumb it down: voice notes, images, video, all of it, and no server in the middle? "Nothing. Everything is client side." Ghostly generates everything on your device and sends it straight to the other peer. Your history is saved locally and you back it up yourself. Miguel's own copy is sitting at 1.23 GB.

Max put the obvious question to Miguel Medeiros: why would anyone trust Telegram over a peer to peer messenger like Ghostly? No phone number tied to it. No server holding everything. The only constraint he could find was storage, since your history lives on your own device. Miguel's reply: "Just use it, man." Max says he will, then break things and report back. Miguel's agents will fix whatever he finds.

The first time the US government spoke to the Samourai devs was through the scope of a rifle. Max on what that tells you: this was never about justice or danger. It's a message to anyone who builds tools that sidestep their control. Drown them in lawyers and data, put them in a cage, right or wrong.

People pick collaborative custody so they don't have a single point of failure. Rick Messitt surveyed thousands of them. If the provider vanished tomorrow, only about half said they could recover. Then he asked whether they'd secured their wallet config file. About 80% picked the answer "what the fuck is that?" Without it you can't rebuild the wallet anywhere else.

Pavol Lupták doesn't sell Bitcoin to live. He posts it as collateral on DeFi and borrows stablecoins at around 1%. No sale, no tax event, no income. If a bank asks where the money comes from, he has his AI agent turn the loan contract into a document he can hand over. "All rich people in the world, they basically live from the loans. You can do it just now, just thanks to DeFi." @Wilder

Pavol Lupták's advice for EU and UK citizens who can't up and leave: give up your residency. As a citizen you can still live in your own country without one. In Slovakia, conscription is tied to permanent residency, so deregistering ends that duty too. Mandatory health and social insurance hang off residency as well. Pair that with no official income and, in his setup, those obligations go away. @Wilder

Rick Messitt and his dad put their seed in a KeePass file and backed it up to the cloud. The passwords on the cloud account and the KeePass file were both laughably low entropy. Their Mt. Gox KYC data had leaked, so the attacker likely knew who they were, where they lived and roughly what they held. Rick reckons it took fifteen minutes to get in. 25 BTC, gone.

Keonne Rodriguez was facing trial, millions of dollars in legal debt, and a state doing everything it could to bury him. A Bitcoiner he'd never met got drained by a fake podcast invite. Rick Messitt messaged Keonne to ask if he knew anyone who could help. Sixteen minutes later Keonne replied with a full dossier tracing the stolen funds across the chain. No questions asked.

SF's end goal for Node Runners Radio is real radio waves, as well as internet stream. If a solar storm ever takes out the electronics we rely on, he points out that a receiver and a sender come down to copper wire, an antenna and a speaker. A block is about four megabytes every ten minutes on average. "It will be possible to silently append new blocks as they come in and have that transmit next to the music." @Le Pleb Royale - SF

11PM. Keonne asks his cellmate what time they turn the lights off. They don't. He covers his head with a sheet that smells of motor oil and sawdust, lies with half his body on bare metal, and asks himself if a year off his sentence was worth leaving Morgantown. All he wants is to call his wife, Lauren.
