Massive whole of user cosmos hack. Multiple interchains. Wallets fully drained. Initially thought to be exploit of google login, then apple login, but now even stake coins are drained. Given the long suffering of cosmos people this seems like a blessing. The end to the pain of being part of the…
"It's ok now," i say, leading the $ATOM into the field. "Where we going, dad?" It squeezes my hand. The pistol is heavy. "Home."
X Corp sent C\&Ds on Aug 24 & Sep 8 demanding permanent takedown of all Nitter instances + the repo. The Sep 7 update claiming legal representation was based on false assurances: no counsel in place rn. zedeus on HN: "I was misled by an individual who claimed to be helping the Nitter project pro…
in the world of bitcoin, archival activity and consensus is mixed up which leads to some odd ideas about scaling, like that privacy preserving chains like monero scale worse than bitcoin if you are new to this kind of thought, reading this twitter thread might help…
luckily the actual state is much smaller. In practice there is no fundamental scaling difference between privacy preserving and transparent chains twitter.com/chimpdaiz/status/2119281966243840356
You wake up and: PHP has two critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2. Exploitation started before the fix was published, and older versions (PHP 8.1 and below) have no official patch.…
For people who already know what and why we need better OPSEC. We have been operating under an assumption that doxxing comes with high costs and requires intensive resources. And that deanonymisation is possible but expensive, that linking a forum account to a real identity takes a skilled…
There’s a rounded value heuristic (often discussed in Bitcoin privacy) which is inherited by any public chain, including non-shielded Zcash. This isn’t the case when values are hidden, especially for Monero and any shielded Zcash (or future shielded Bitcoin). A pool boundary… twitter.com/yfarmx/status/2109671242458358176
We all talk about privacy, how about we embrace it a bit more here in stasher? I still see and be invited to watch videos on YT, which, with privacy, has not much to do. Asking here if stashers would be open to consider converting all the embedded videos to streams from something else instead, like…
I am going to ask one more time and we will begin this public back-and-forth if you deny the truth, with quotes. :-) @DouglasTuman @monerotopia @MoneroTalk Did you, or did you not cancel rottenwheel from participating in your Monero-centric weekly, community show? Y/n.

Largest exchange hack in history (so far). $3 billion of it already frozen. Binance states the SAFU fund + company funds will completely cover all losses. $1.45 billion BTC $875 million ETH $234 million TRX $50 million XAUT$3,992.85 $1.57 billion USDT $823 million USDC $75 million WBETH $88.5…
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private…
If you run any sort of infrastructure, website, self-hosted service, cloud service etc etc etc it might be a good idea to just have an agent run daily if not hourly scans for any security disclosures that affect those systems, and notify you immediately if any vulnerabilities relevant to you are…
This one is a sledgehammer: Rose does not argue that government is “too big” or “the wrong party is in charge”. He argues that authority itself is a superstition: the belief that some people have a moral right to rule others, and that the rest of us have a duty to obey. "The belief in “authority,”…
There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view from the summit is always the same. Chinese proverb There are roughly 18 established routes up Mount Everest. More than 95% of every recorded summit has come by just two of them: almost every human who has ever stood on the top chose one…

For those who do not know: Nikolai was a true builder and one of the last genuine cypherpunks in crypto. He focused on elegant, permissionless, corruption-resistant systems rather than hype, profit, or personal branding. As one tribute put it, he spent his life crafting tools to realize a vision of…
today is Nikolai Mushegian's (@delete_shitcoin) 33rd birthday. here's to a genius who dared to see things for what they are and call them by their true names—and, most importantly, when he saw something wrong, he built the tools to make it right. Nikolai was a builder in the…
Since 1971 the paper currencies have all been losing what they can buy, and the measure is annual consumer prices, with the early years estimated. The Swiss franc did the least bad and it is still down about 66%, the yen is down about 71%, and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are both down…
In my quest to investigate the rising RAM and storage prices, as I am looking to upgrade my workstation and build a NAS with plenty of storage for backups and media, I've been researching, ironically with AI, the market prices, the current and forecasted trends, and the news surrounding these…

Welcome to Stasher. With this post, I want to introduce you to the funniest game powered by Monero, a privacy coin you can earn and spend to create insightful posts and thoughtful comments. I discovered Monero a long time ago, forgot about it, and this game gave me an opportunity to dust off my…
just read this and thought stashers might find it interesting too: Alright, I'd like to have a discussion regarding bitcoin's fungibility (or lack there of). I am a bitcoiner and have been for a decent number of years but I would ask that we leave our maxi hats at the door and look at this…
It's truly a miracle of this age that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can access and study hundreds of years of humanity's intellectual legacy, thanks to free culture projects such as Project Gutenberg. But I realised there's not enough information on this area of the Internet.…
I. The Delusion of “Adjective Capitalism” versus The Reality of Propertarianism, Praxeology, and the Parasitic Anatomy of State Interventionism In contemporary political and academic discourse, it has become fashionable to blame every socio-economic pathology caused by government intervention on…
Bitcoin was a revolutionary breakthrough that proved peer-to-peer digital cash could function without banks or any financial intermediaries. It combined publicly accessible transactions with a Proof-of-Work mechanism that operates free of any central authority or third-party trust. Yet this…
