Acquiring a Rayhunter device is a fantastic step toward enhancing your privacy and security because it empowers you to detect cell-site simulators (CSS), like Stingrays, which can covertly monitor your mobile activity. Developed by the EFF as an open-source tool, Rayhunter runs on an affordable mobile hotspot and allows anyone—regardless of technical expertise—to identify these invasive surveillance devices that mimic legitimate cell towers. By spotting suspicious activity, such as forced network downgrades or unusual IMSI requests, it helps you safeguard your personal data and location from unauthorized tracking, offering peace of mind in an era of pervasive digital spying.

Since the concept of Lightning emerged, a pay-as-you-go service has been the ultimate application people envisioned. We’ve now developed a Wi-Fi network pay-as-you-go software for your community, leveraging Ecash and Lightning for transactions. I imagine this being particularly valuable in isolated areas where someone could deploy Starlink alongside this service and not even need to stay on-site. Encouraging individuals to establish internet connections this way is likely to outperform traditional government-led rural internet initiatives.

Nicholas Dorier offers a concise and pertinent article that tackles a definition central to many contemporary issues: the meaning of "custody." For years, the political arena has seemed intent on muddying the waters around word meanings, deliberately expanding authority while turning dissenters into adversaries or lawbreakers. Yet an even more significant erosion of the term’s clarity has emerged from within, as emerging "layer 2" technologies vie to position themselves as groundbreaking advancements. Are they truly revolutionary, or are we sacrificing a critical concept with implications we might not fully grasp? Erosion of the Meaning of Custody by Nicholas Dorier

Erosion of the Meaning of Custody

Introduction The loose use of the term custody is, in my opinion, very dangerous. If you strongly value the freedom Bitcoin provides, you should fi...

In a striking comparison of online freedoms, Russia reported around 400 arrests last year for social media posts deemed offensive or sensitive. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, a staggering 3,000 individuals were taken into custody for their online activities. In contrast, the United States recorded zero arrests for social media posts, highlighting the significant disparity in how different countries approach online expression and censorship."

Sick of tech giants dictating which apps you can install and skimming profits from creators? Imagine a world where you engage directly with developers, cryptographically authenticate their software, and fund them peer-to-peer via Bitcoin. Could Nostr’s censorship-resistant protocol dismantle app store monopolies, empowering users with ownership over their digital tools while creating a transparent, fraud-resistant marketplace?

Happy Bitcoin's Death of MtGox day!

Since Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake (POS) in 2022, I've consistently argued that it has evolved into a platform with a high degree of centralization, undermining its decentralized principles. Over time, I believe this centralization will only intensify, creating a single point of failure and essentially becoming a hub for fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies, which lack the decentralized nature that cryptocurrency was intended to provide.

Clavis

Geyser | The #1 Bitcoin Crowdfunding and Fundraising Platform

A Bitcoin crowdfunding platform where creators raise funds for causes, sell products, manage campaigns, and engage with their community.

This is a hardware wallet prototype currently in the fundraising phase. It's unique system design. Unlike phone-based wallets with a broad attack surface, Clavis follows the typical hardware wallet approach by using a separate device for signing transactions. However, it goes further by incorporating an NFC card that stores the private key for the “savings” account, likely offering the highest level of security. NFC is heavily utilized—not only for communication between the phone and the hardware wallet but also between the wallet and the NFC card holding the savings key. The distinction between savings and spending accounts is a novel feature I haven’t encountered before, and I’ll be watching this project closely as it develops.

Bitcoin Safe

Bitcoin Safe - A secure bitcoin savings wallet for everyone

Bitcoin Safe is a collaborative wallet that keeps families and organizations in full control of their bitcoin.

Bitcoin Safe - This Bitcoin wallet offers the typical features you’d expect, such as multisig, hardware wallet compatibility, and backup options. What sets it apart is its integration with Nostr. For instance, it allows you to sync and tag transactions across multiple devices, so a watch-only wallet can stay updated with new transactions and their labels. Plus, you can manage multisig setups via Nostr too. This is a major leap forward for collaborative custody, making it much more practical in a decentralized setup. I’d love to see this kind of Nostr functionality become the norm in Bitcoin wallets.
