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.

An AI-assisted search across local news in multiple languages just doubled Jameson Lopp's wrench attack archive. It now passes 700 recorded physical attacks on Bitcoin and crypto holders. France alone has 77 this year. Stay pseudonymous. Avoid KYC. A leaked database with your home address is a target on your front door.

Chainalysis found a scam operator moved around 60 BTC of victims' money onto Ledger devices in September. Those devices came through a reseller. They got swept up in the implant drain along with everyone else. Small silver lining. But if you bought a Ledger through a reseller, anywhere, migrate your funds.

Hardware hacker found two Trezors with the main chip replaced. Neither generated a random recovery phrase. Each picked one of about a dozen the attacker already knew, and one had a micro SD card soldered inside holding genuine firmware to pass the authenticity check. Both came from unauthorised sellers. One was on Facebook Marketplace.

How to buy a hardware wallet without getting done: Buy directly from the manufacturer. Pay in sats on Lightning. Give as little detail as you can, ship it somewhere that isn't your home, or buy it in person at a conference stand. And as @MaxUM puts it, don't go on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Grindr, wherever you're spending your time.

Citizen Lab just published the first public technical confirmation that mercenary spyware can reach a phone through targeted ads alone. No click needed. Attacker scripts turned up in 75,000 apps and 128,000 websites. The ad network is now an attack service. You only need to be targetable. Block ads and trackers, and think hard about what secrets live on your phone.

Bank of America wilfully broke the Bank Secrecy Act. it pays a fine its shareholders will cover, and nobody who runs it is charged. Two developers who wrote privacy software are serving five and four years. The level of double speak here is staggering.

The first Node Runners Radio jukebox bot let people hold sats in Telegram and sponsor each other's song requests with a /DJ command. SF moved away from it. "Within the increasingly stringent rules of the European machine, it's hard for anything that transmits and holds value." Every request now comes from your own Lightning wallet, and guest DJs set their own Lightning address. @Le Pleb Royale - SF @Noderunners Radio

Q paid for a song request live on the show, and SF walked through where the sats went. "A 100% of the 210 sats paid will go straight to Wavlake, and they will give 90% to the original artist." The radio gets a 5% kickback. Library tracks cost 21 sats, priced up for longer tracks, purely as an anti-spam measure. @QnA @Noderunners Radio

SF calls himself an ape banging rocks together when it comes to code. The second version of the Node Runners Radio jukebox was built with AI. Local agents gave him an endless stream of non-functionality, so he spent some of the donation jar on a Claude subscription. "Honestly, it's been like magic." With a catch: he's had to pull it out of sensitive areas of the server more than once, and he admits it's a black box to him. @Le Pleb Royale - SF @Noderunners Radio

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

Where the foam padding behind a Ledger Nano X screen should be: a microcontroller with its markings scraped off, a Nordic cellular modem, an eSIM and a custom antenna. It's wired into the lines that carry data to the screen. When setup shows your 24 words, it reads them and sends them to the attacker over its own mobile connection. It never goes near the secure chip, so the device passes the genuine check. Ledger's own docs say the check can't detect this.

Keonne Rodriguez was moved between two prisons a four hour drive apart. It took thirty days, two transcontinental flights, three multi hour bus rides, a cellmate doing time for murder and a cellmate who couldn't stop shitting. "I preferred the murder." Letter #7, part one.

First night in the Oklahoma City transit center. The officer brings Keonne half a foam mattress, because that is all they have. His ass and legs will be on bare metal. "Welcome to prison," says the officer. "I understand this is prison. You still have an obligation to provide us basic amenities like bedding. This isn't fucking Guantanamo." The officer shrugs, drops it on the floor and walks off. His cellmate, doing twenty years for murder, has the last word.

What gets Roy most excited about the Breez SDK is regular apps with Bitcoin as the money inside them. Running apps that reward you in sats. Zap Cooking. An indie film platform where you stream sats to the creators while you watch. Radar, a Signal-style messenger with Bitcoin built in. "Where Bitcoin really flourishes is as a global permissionless value transfer instrument where anyone can send anyone funds globally at any time." @Breez ⚡️

Max's rule for Lightning, Liquid, Ark, Spark or whatever comes next: it's for spending, and he only keeps what he's comfortable losing on it. Roy builds on these systems for a living. "I would second your advice. Don't put your life savings on layer two." Hardware wallets aren't perfect and on-chain multisig isn't perfect either, he says, which is exactly why the trust and security models need improving on every front. @MaxUM
