From a quick scan of the presentation, the only real success they have is pre-Dandelion when tx left the IP source and they were able to track one exchange due to that "leak".
Other artifacts left by the various wallets is interesting and could be improved (as in remove the fingerprints where possible.)

From what I understand, smooth L2 (as in 1 tx to start, stop, revert vs several tx) can happen with one opcode. Optional.
Without it, bitcoin l2 is very limited.
My nodes will likely run new opcode,.assume futures are in favor.

Sorry, but I highly doubt Huawei's helping in anything here. But maybe, the 5G from China has not been "weakened" on purpose by the US. That said, it does not matter much nowadays, since most are communicating via E2E apps. Which, means, the "monitoring" has been force to happened at the app layer more than at the LTE/5G layer.

I have to give them credits for coming up with a solution that appears to be solid and is standing the test of time so far. I can't say that I would know how to break it down to create ASICs for it, which is impressive.
Plus, they could iterate again, and again...

This.
I think at best, intel agencies get metadata off of the SGX enclosures on the contacts connecting algos. From there, with a #, they can target for full remote exploitation (via 0 clicks). Then simply collect while unencrypted.
I doubt Signal encryption is compromised.
For more secure comms, there's a new option around: https://www.numbersstation.app/

When does @woonomic theory break?
RT:
Preston, this only matters in margin spot markets. Shorting gold or BTC on spot requires someone to lend the underlying asset. Pull the asset off the exchange and nobody can borrow it to margin short.
But what I refer to is futures markets. I can put in USD collateral and sell near unlimited BTC futures contracts.
Some misunderstanding from the community here so let’s run through the mechanics with a thought experiment:
According to
@glassnode
there are 2.3 million BTC sitting on exchanges today. Let’s say the public wants to buy ALL of them and to take custody. So how much USD would I need to prevent the price from climbing?
Well for every spot BTC that is bought I need to sell 1 BTC of futures contracts. These two markets are tightly linked via arbitrage traders who make money whenever they get out of step.
Remember selling a future contract is just a bet on the price to go down. There is no limit on how many bets I can lay down apart from how much money I have to back that bet.
5x leverage is the norm so I would need $12b USD and absolutely NO BTC in my futures account to stop BTC price from moving upwards even if all the BTC available on exchanges were being bought up. (2.3m BTC * price / 5x leverage).
How much money is in the banking system? $20T of M2 money. $12b is a rounding error.
If we go into the math at more details, it’s slightly more than the $12b due to futures contracts being priced higher (called contango for those reading this), that price premium is captured as profit if you short BTC (this is called a basis trade).
In a basis trade you would normally buy spot BTC to protect from getting rekt if BTC price went up (short squeeze). But hell, if I had $12b of collateral why hedge. I’m the OG, I don’t need to buy spot BTC to protect from BTC going up as I have enough sell power to keep it down.
So in fact for an entity that has $12b of capital there is a profit incentive to short BTC on futures and keep price down.
Can this be done? Yes, because…
futures > spot
All you need to check is the daily volumes being traded on futures. It dwarfs the liquidity on spot markets. As long as this is the case, spot markets orbit the gravity of futures markets, not the other way around.
Hence you see the agenda by laid out to delay a spot ETF. For 7 years spot liquidity has been held back. While futures markets have flourished, vastly outgrowing the spot market.

Agree!
The "Internet" has pretty much moved its content behind Cloudflare (giving US Intel Community a vantage point?).
Agree, VPN and Tor endpoints are blacklisted and throttled. A real pain. (Even rented VPS IPs tend to be in blacklisted range).
The solution?
As mentioned, a new protocol or set of protocols has to succeed.

Kudos! Quite a life path, and thanks for sharing. Getting or staying on a life balance path that works is very hard.
I will spare you my batman story, but for the nostr readers, and to my 30y younger self:
1. not testing blood for metrics purposes for too long can be dangerous. Avoid ending up in very toxicity of certain vitamin, it's really bad. Advice, find a doc or health practitioner who's not afraid of testing blood. It's cheap (in any respectable country, travel if you need to), and there's nothing like it to fine tune your diet.
2. don't inject stuff / don't alter your body, unless you truly have no other options. And even then, you have other options.
3. heal the inner-child, self parent yourself, grow spiritually by yourself. The solitude, emptiness, anxiety, fear, can, and will all go away. Truly. Nowadays, the content is easy to find.
4. and yes, get down on the mat, start BJJ and stick to it. There's nothing like it to free testosterone (read here: men's health, and men's mental health).

From what I remember:
You can do pretty much what you want in a drivechain, similar to what you see in the ETH L2 world at the moment. From optimism, zk rollups, zkevm, etc.
It allows to keep a state in another chain anquored to L1.
Security is via time delayed changes in L1.
The changes to L1 btc would be minimal and do not change what already exists.

How to get the masses to understand that the control is done primarily via money?
And to have them realize it's actually bad for them (most don't even understand the life they are in).
Of course, use cash over credit/debit cards, but even cash is validation of fiat value.
We really need the masses to move to Bitcoin, for that to happen, they has to be a will to do so.

2023-07-10 13:57:38

This.
And to, somehow, make the masses understand that it is the choice of money that is the worse offender to happiness, freedom, and even social contracts.
It's not about taxes, more than enabling totalitarianism, that is the core issue.
Don't use their money via banking/cc
Don't use their money via cash
Exit fiat.

I checked out more than a decade ago, but it does not mean I am helping "the cause" by any means. I just couldn't live with myself anymore, but in retrospect, I should have stretched longer in the "system" to gain more leverage in Bitcoin for later down the road.
I would say, stack as many as possible, and then later, you will use them where it matters and that's when we will make a dent for the better.
