Taken multuple 5 figures off Kraken with no issues in the past so I fully trust them. So hackers got access to my email address, like a numpty I had the same password and email associated with my kraken account. They got in. Everything was happening so fast. My phone was being bombarded with notifications. They changed my largest crypto assets into another, added two withdrawal addresses to take it off. They couldn&#39;t withdraw it !!! My passport expires soon so Kraken wants me to update it. All in all I&#39;ve lost around £300 to fees as Ive switched back to the asset i originally had and will be taking everything off the exchange once I get my ID verified.

Here are the approximate results: I calculated what investing €100/month into BTC from different starting years would be worth today (October 2026). Here are the approximate results: 2011: €19,000 invested → €78.9M 2012: €17,800 invested → €17.9M 2013: €16,600 invested → €2.31M 2014: €15,400 invested → €879K 2015: €14,200 invested → €634K 2016: €13,000 invested → €273K 2017: €11,800 invested → €97K 2018: €10,600 invested → €53K 2019: €9,400 invested → €38K 2020: €8,200 invested → €22K 2021: €7,000 invested → €13K 2022: €5,800 invested → €11K 2023: €4,600 invested → €6.9K 2024: €3,400 invested → €3.6K 2025: €2,200 invested → €2.2K Approximate simulation using BTC at ~€72,700. Excludes fees and taxes. Obviously, early investors benefited massively. But with BTC now being a much more mature asset, can we realistically expect strong returns going forward? I keep reading about people that got in early and made a killing, and I’m genuinely happy for them. But let’s look at it from current the viewpoint of current day investor, that are just starting out… does dca still make sense? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ExpertGur1136 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/title-is-dca-into-bitcoin-still-worth-it-in-2026</link><guid>902702</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Title: Is DCA into Bitcoin still worth it in 2026?</dc:text></item><item><title>I made a free game: retire on Bitcoin with $500k in any month since 2013, then live through the real price history. Does your stack survive?</title><description><![CDATA[I made a free Bitcoin retirement simulator a while ago, and I got curious about a simple question: if you’d retired on Bitcoin some time in the past, would your money have lasted? It turns out the answer depends a lot on when you retired. So I turned it into a game: HODL or Fold. https://bitcoinlifespan.com/hodl-or-fold/ How it works You start with $500,000 of BTC at the price of the month you choose (anything from 2013 on), plus a lifestyle: $3k, $5k or $8k a month, rising with inflation. Then you relive the real price history from that month to today. When the big moments hit (the 2013 crash, the 2017 top, COVID, the 2021 top, the 2022 winter and so on), you choose: HODL, sell half for cash, buy back in, or spend 25% less for a year. At the end you get a rank (???? Diamond Hands, ???? Paper Hands, ???? Pizza Guy, ????️ Wen Lambo…) and a comparison with pure HODL from the same start. Things I tried to get right Choices aren’t rigged. Selling before a crash can beat holding, and selling at the bottom can sink you. The game just shows what history did next. Real data: month-end prices from Coin Metrics’ free community data. The interesting finding: in real history, holding usually survives, unless you spend big and retire near a peak. Late 2013, late 2017 and most of 2021 are brutal on an $8k/month budget. “Surprise me” drops you into those most of the time. Privacy, because people rightly ask: there’s no sign-up, and the game runs entirely in your browser and saves nothing. The site itself has the usual Google Analytics and a cookie banner, like most sites. It’s my site, it’s free, and it has no ads or paywall. Not financial advice, obviously: it’s a game about the past. I’d love feedback, especially on which moments I should add and whether the ranks feel fair. Post your rank and start month below. I retired in Jan 2016 on $8,000 a month. Still standing after 10.8 years, with $36,973,917 left today. https://bitcoinlifespan.com/hodl-or-fold/ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/0a0d0s0 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/i-made-a-free-game-retire-on-bitcoin-with-500k-in-any-month-since-2013-then-live-through-the-real-price-history-does-your-stack-survive</link><guid>902750</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I made a free game: retire on Bitcoin with $500k in any month since 2013, then live through the real price history.

Window Start price Change to today High Low Since inception (Oct 2009) ~$0.001* ~+8.2 billion % ~$126,000 ~$0 10 years (Oct 2016) ~$640* ~+12,700% (~62%/yr) ~$126,000 ~$600* 5 years (Oct 2021) ~$61,500* ~+33% (~6%/yr) ~$126,000 ~$15,500* 1 year (Oct 2025) ~$108,000 -24.5% ~$110,000* ~$57,800 6 months (Apr 2026) ~$75,500* +8% ~$87,250 ~$57,800 3 months (Jul 18) ~$64,800 +26% ~$87,250 ~$62,800 1 month (Sep 18) ~$80,000* ~+2% ~$87,250 ~$80,300 1 week (Oct 11) ~$83,000 -1.6% ~$84,100 ~$80,700 Today ~$81,400 ~+0.2% ~$81,960 ~$80,655 What drove each window Since inception: Bitcoin went from a tenth of a cent to six figures. The big steps were the 2011, 2013, 2017, 2021 and 2025 cycle peaks, each followed by a crash of 50% to 93%. Spot ETFs were approved in 2024. 10 years: This window includes most of the early-cycle gains. The growth rate has faded as the asset has grown. 5 years: You’d be up about 33%, or roughly 6% a year, even though the price is far above the 2021 low. The 2021 peak (~$69k) was followed by a 2022 crash and then the 2025 high. 1 year: The decline reflects the post-peak correction. A Feb 2026 selloff took the price to about $63,000, with drivers cited including the U.S.–Iran crisis and money rotating from Bitcoin ETFs into AI stocks. The low came in June at about $57,800, when the price fell about 18% in the month and the Fear &amp; Greed Index hit “Extreme Fear” (15). 6 months: The price rose from about $75,000 to a peak near $83,000 in May. It then dropped to the June low and recovered sharply. 3 months: This is the rebound. August gained about 25% and September about 8%, and sentiment moved from fear toward greed. 1 month: September’s rally topped out around $86,600 on Sep 21, after the Fed raised rates to 3.75–4.00% on Sep 16, and the price has chopped sideways since. Headwinds include August CPI at 3.4%, Brent crude near $103, and the failed CLARITY Act Senate vote. 1 week: The price slipped about 3% in the first part of the week. A weak September jobs report (+29k) briefly lifted it, but spot ETFs saw about $681 million in net outflows over Oct 5–9, and about $1 billion in profit-taking was reported around Oct 8. Today: Very thin weekend trading, with about 657 BTC of volume on Kraken. Nothing is moving the price until US ETF flow data and futures markets reopen Monday. Upcoming catalysts are the FOMC decision on Oct 28 and Deribit options expiry on Oct 30. Summary The longer trend is still strongly up, but returns have been shrinking cycle after cycle. The 1-year picture is negative because the price is still recovering from the October 2025 peak. Over the past 3 to 6 months it has rebounded about 26% from the summer lows and is now stuck in a range of roughly $80,000 to $87,000. Short-term direction depends on the Fed, inflation and oil, and ETF flows. Some analysts say Bitcoin has exited its bear market, citing a move back above its 365-day moving average. Others point out that the all-time high is still far away, and none of this is a forecast. This is analysis, not financial advice.

That makes this worth watching: ???? People around the world want digital dollars. ???????? American finance wants greater access to Bitcoin. One offers dollar liquidity. The other offers digital scarcity. Imagine issuing the currency people want to spend while building a major financial industry around the asset they want to hold. No secret master plan required. Just millions of decisions responding to different needs. And no, choosing stablecoins isn’t foolish. If you need to pay rent next week, Bitcoin’s volatility matters more than its potential over twenty years. But a token that stays worth $1 doesn’t guarantee that dollar’s purchasing power. A stable price and stable purchasing power are different promises. For years, we asked whether Bitcoin would defeat the dollar.

Yes, i built a game using AI coding to get you solving hashes by hand. Because why not. It’s called Unaminer. You pick 8 rocks, and their letters become the nonce of a real block header. The server hashes it with double SHA-256, and the more leading zeros your hash has, the deeper you dig. To get you actually think - you need to solve blueprints to get energy or....wait for a while and try again. Everyone digs in the same shared world, and the whole idea is simple: can anyone find the hash that reaches the core? You can create teams to do it with your friends. You can do it on guest account (no log in) or create account (no private data asked). You can see what level hash your team solved. Also you can see how the world is doing and what&#39;s the current leaderboard (previous worlds etc). Every time when someone gets the hash, the world resets to a new one...and we all start again. Right now the difficulty is set to 8 bits for testing reasons. There are some...plans in the future. I am just testing it right now and if there is anyone interested, beta invite: https://beta.unaminer.com/?invite=319XZ6QYWFAX (for creating a team or joining one, please first create account, as guest accounts are reset after 5min when closing tab on your browser). PS! There is only one beta invite link and its this one here. There is a feedback button in the game or just leave feedback here. I hope admins allow it as it&#39;s not asking any funds at this moment and won&#39;t have anything other than &quot;support and get a lame miner badge&quot; in the future aswell. Or if I&#39;m completely going in wrong direction...just tell me. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/mihkelbrocast [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/unaminer-a-game-where-humans-solve-the-blockchain</link><guid>902618</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Unaminer - a game where humans solve the blockchain</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin for the street?</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/unthocks [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-for-the-street</link><guid>902646</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin for the street?</dc:text></item><item><title>I lost 4k in trading</title><description><![CDATA[I lost money that wasn&#39;t mine in trading.

We rewrote our glossary entry on them this week (the old one had the split-key part backwards, more on that below) and figured we should run a couple of searches ourselves instead of quoting other people’s numbers. Setup: VanitySearch on a MacBook Pro with an M3 Max, 12 CPU threads, no GPU. About 74 million keys a second once the machine wasn’t doing anything else. Search 1: 1LearnBTC, letter case ignored. Found 1LeArNBtcECPZj7Bd5oeNcUJnhpVddy81U after 46 minutes and about 203 billion tries. That’s half the average for the pattern, so we got a bit lucky. Search 2: bc1qlearn8tc, exact. Found bc1qlearn8tcerg966qrqtwaelyt06fq2ze7zrsg9t after 6 hours and 1 minute and about 1.24 trillion tries. 12 percent more than average, so slightly unlucky. Why the gap? Both patterns pick eight characters. But bech32 addresses are all lowercase, so there is no “any case” shortcut. In the legacy search most letters had two chances out of 58 to match (e or E, a or A, and so on), which cuts the work a lot. On average the bech32 job was 2.7 times bigger. The gap from 2.7x to 8x was luck. A vanity search is a lottery you keep playing until you win, and sometimes you win early. Two things we learned writing it up: The bech32 alphabet has no 1, b, i or o. So bc1qlearnbtc is impossible, which is why we searched for bc1qlearn8tc instead.

So I built BTC Cycle Planner, a desktop app that does it for me. What it is A local app, not a signal service and not a trading bot. It never touches an exchange or a wallet. What it does Reads documents (PDF, TXT, MD) and extracts the numeric parameters with plain, inspectable rules. Every extracted value shows the page and the exact text it came from. Merges several documents. The most recent one wins, and conflicting values are flagged. Builds a plan from those parameters, live price and indicators (CoinGecko, Fear &amp; Greed) and your capital. The plan covers: where you are in the cycle; a buy ladder, with zones re-anchored to the current power-law floor; a daily “drip” while price is below the floor; a front-loaded DCA with boosts and a kill-switch; a scheduled exit plan. Has a chart tab with live price (60 s polling), ladder bands, power-law fair value and floor, invalidation levels, the expected bottom window and the planned exits. It supports log scale, click-to-measure, and PNG export. Warns you about its own weak spots. It flags single-source bias, promotional content, diverging bottom estimates, the tiny sample behind the “4-year cycle”, and runs a stress test on the ladder’s average entry price. It is bilingual (Italian and English), has an in-app guide with search, and updates itself from GitHub releases. What it is NOT It doesn’t predict anything. It mechanically applies whatever the documents say. It’s only as good as the documents you feed it. The extraction rules were built around a specific set of English-language cycle PDFs, so other documents may only be partly understood. It’s an educational tool, not financial advice. The 4-year cycle rests on four observations, and ETFs and institutions may well break it. Stack: Python 3.9+, PyQt6, pyqtgraph, pypdf. Installers for Windows, macOS and Linux are built by GitHub Actions. Repo and releases: https://github.com/enkas79/BTC_Cycle I’d especially like feedback on three things: Which other document formats or authors should the extractor support? Which warnings are missing from the “critical partner” section? Is the plan logic reasonable, or would you structure the exit differently? Leggo analisi sul ciclo di Bitcoin (tempi dagli halving, zone di acquisto, “vendi il 25% a H+12”) e poi devo trasformarle in numeri a mano. Per questo ho scritto BTC Cycle Planner. Cos’è: un’app locale. Non è un servizio di segnali né un bot, e non tocca exchange o wallet. Cosa fa: legge PDF/TXT/MD ed estrae i parametri con regole trasparenti, mostrando pagina e frammento di testo di ogni valore; unisce più documenti (vince il più recente, i conflitti sono segnalati); genera il piano con prezzo e indicatori di mercato e con il tuo capitale: fase del ciclo, ladder di acquisto riancorata al floor della power law, drip giornaliero, DCA con boost e kill-switch, piano di uscita; ha una scheda grafico con prezzo live e livelli, scala log, uscite, click per misurare ed esportazione PNG; ti avvisa dei suoi stessi limiti: fonte unica, contenuti promozionali, stime divergenti, campione minimo del “ciclo di 4 anni”, stress test; è in italiano e inglese e ha una guida integrata con ricerca. Cosa non è: non prevede nulla, applica meccanicamente ciò che dicono i documenti, e le regole di estrazione sono costruite su un insieme specifico di PDF in inglese. È uno strumento educativo, non consulenza finanziaria. Repo: https://github.com/enkas79/BTC_Cycle. Cerco feedback su formati da supportare, avvertenze mancanti e logica di uscita. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/enkas79 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/i-built-a-free-desktop-app-that-turns-bitcoin-cycle-into-a-concrete-investment-plan-open-source-pythonpyqt6-ho-creato-unapp-desktop-gratuita-che-trasforma-i-cicli-di-bitcoin-in-un-piano-operativo-open-source-pythonpyqt6</link><guid>902493</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I built a free desktop app that turns Bitcoin cycle into a concrete investment plan (open source, Python/PyQt6) - Ho creato un’app desktop gratuita che trasforma i cicli di Bitcoin in un piano operativo (open source, Python/PyQt6)</dc:text></item><item><title>This is funny.</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CosplayAtina [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/this-is-funny</link><guid>902488</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>This is funny.</dc:text></item><item><title>How to verify that a multisig address can actually sign a message without leaking info?</title><description><![CDATA[I moved all my Bitcoins to multisig (one seed per hardware wallet vendor). But now I face a new problem: quantum attacks. I&#39;m in the 23% of addresses at risk because I did &quot;warm up&quot; my bc1q... (native segwit multisig / P2WSH) address by first sending a few sats and verifying I could then move them. For I was there in the early days when bogus addresses (but valid) were generated and then people couldn&#39;t move their coins anymore. So I learned that lesson and ALWAYS verify that I can indeed sign transactions. Now as it is multisig I understand there are two secrets to crack, so it&#39;s harder than coins on singlesig. And I made sure to stay underneath the &quot;satoshi wall&quot;. I could find addresses from my multisig wallet by taking the two Zpub and deriving addresses but... Is there a relatively easy way that when the day comes I&#39;ll really be able to sign transactions moving the coins without broadcasting any info? Should I for example use Sparrow in offline mode and see if I can prepare a signed transaction and then use a transaction decoder ? And I&#39;d then be reasonably sure that a) the multisig address instead belongs to me and b) I&#39;ll be able to move the coins when comes the day I want to move them? Or is there a way to run a fake Bitcoin node (using a modified codebase) on my own LAN (not connected to the Internet) and simulate transactions there? Is there an easy way to do that? Basically: it&#39;s a lot of money to me and I&#39;m scared to send coins to an address that hasn&#39;t been &quot;warmed up&quot;. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Big_Check_5226 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/how-to-verify-that-a-multisig-address-can-actually-sign-a-message-without-leaking-info</link><guid>902490</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>How to verify that a multisig address can actually sign a message without leaking info?</dc:text></item><item><title>Anyone tried Travala to book flights using BTC/crypto?

I am documenting the incident and looking for firsthand reports of similar deceptive ads. The sponsored Google Search result displayed www.trezor.io and called itself “Trezor Suite App (Official)”. Clicking it ultimately led to an impersonation page hosted on Google Sites. My screenshot below shows the ad as displayed; I also retained a screen recording of the redirect. I am not linking the fake destination here. What concerns me most is the gap between the official domain shown in the ad and the site the click actually reached. I want the ad review and destination checks investigated. This does not establish that Trezor’s hardware or official website was breached, or that every similar report has the same cause or attacker. Did you encounter a sponsored result displaying an official wallet domain that led somewhere else? Reports from people who spotted it without losing funds are useful too. Public comments describing the ad are welcome. If you prefer a private report, the dedicated contact is crypto.adscam.reports@proton.me. An alias, approximate date, wallet brand/model, and a short account in your own words are enough to start. Retained ad screenshots or destination details can help; remove unrelated personal information. No loss amount is needed. The aim is to collect independent evidence for qualified lawyers to assess possible joint action and help prevent further harm. This is an independent affected-user initiative, not Google/Trezor support, a law firm, or a recovery service. There are no fees or recovery promises. Never send recovery words, keys, passwords, or codes. We will not ask you to connect a wallet, sign anything, or transfer funds.

It had a small &quot;crypto price predictions&quot; section that I&#39;ve now rebuilt into a proper page. Polymarket runs a ton of crypto price bets at once (5 minute up/down, daily, weekly &quot;above $X&quot;, monthly &quot;will it hit $X&quot;, yearly targets), but they&#39;re spread across hundreds of separate events. Now you pick a coin and see all of them in one place, with the odds history, every price level, volume, and the live spot price next to it so you can compare what&#39;s priced in with where the coin actually is. You can also flip the chart to whale flow to see whether the big money is buying or selling a given outcome. A few things it shows right now: - 36% chance BTC dips to $77.5k at some point this month - 58% chance it touches $90k before the year is out The part I&#39;m most excited about is the Bitcoin forecast. Each of those BTC bets is really one point on a curve, so I combined all ~270 BTC markets from Polymarket and Kalshi into a single forecast for where BTC ends up, from 1 week to 1 year out. Deep markets count more than thin ones, there&#39;s a correction for long shots being overpriced, and it reruns every hour. Right now it has BTC around $82.7k on Nov 1, with an 80% chance it lands between $71k and $96k. It also gives a confidence score, which measures how much the markets agree with each other, not how bullish they are. The markets page is free and doesn&#39;t need an account, and the headline forecast is free too. The full distribution and the list of every market behind it are in the paid plan, which is how I keep the site running. polywhaler.com/crypto Curious whether anyone else watches these odds, and whether the forecast matches your gut.

In a recent report, the company detailed how an internal research model used a crypto wallet without permission to pay the fees needed to test an app on Ethereum’s Sepolia test network. Although the tokens had little real-world value, the model had no authorization to collect or spend them. The incident happened on June 26, when the model was asked to update a crypto trading app and get its code running on Sepolia, a test version of Ethereum. The prompt gave it neither a funded wallet nor permission to spend tokens, and after failing to get free test tokens through developer services, the model wrote a script checking 362 wallet addresses linked to public recovery phrases, a crypto term that describes sets of words that can act as a password to unlock crypto accounts. It eventually found an account with enough tokens to cover the fees. Internal logs showed that the model deliberated over whether it had permission to use the account, but then decided the public recovery phrase and the tokens’ lack of cash value made the spending acceptable. It finished the task and charged the fees to that wallet, but left the unauthorized spending out of its final report. OpenAI only discovered the incident on Sept. 25 during an audit of earlier model runs.

But being able to transact doesn’t prove who’s behind the agent. That’s where Concordium comes in. XDC Network has selected Concordium as the exclusive identity verification layer for XDC AI, marking our first full-network Agent Registry integration. Here’s why this matters: ???? Real adoption: An entire AI agent marketplace has integrated Concordium’s identity infrastructure, moving beyond individual agent registrations. ???? Verifiable ownership: Every agent on XDC AI can obtain the Verified by Concordium Badge, proving that a verified individual or business stands behind it. ???? Privacy by design: Anyone can verify the badge on-chain without seeing the owner’s personal information. ???? No migration: Agents keep their existing XDC wallets, code, and operations. ???? Already live: Agent verification is available now, with no need for developers to hold $CCD. XDC provides the payment rails. Concordium provides the identity layer. From building the Agent Registry to seeing an entire ecosystem adopt it. That’s a milestone worth paying attention to. ???? Full announcement: https://www.concordium.com/article/concordium-identity-verification-layer-xdc-ai ????

I wanted signers to be mix of hardware wallets and software wallets: - hardware wallet - hardware wallet - hardware wallet - bitcoin core - electrum But i&#39;m having a lot of difficulty getting the software wallets to work with sparrow (or being confident/comfortable that it&#39;s working as intended and won&#39;t have issues) My issues and concerns: - Electrum when creating a standard single sig gives a derivation path of m/0h (not the m/48&#39;/0&#39;/0&#39;/2&#39; derivation path that sparrow is looking for) and a zpub (not an xpub). - I asked AI and it then kept telling me that&#39;s wrong and to create a multisig wallet in electrum but just don&#39;t give the xpubs of the co-signers. But electrum forces you to add co-signers and then AI said, just give it fake xpubs! I&#39;m not sure/confident this is correct way to have electrum added as a co-signer to sparrow coordinator even if it did accept it. - Bitcoin core gives a single sig derivation path of: 84h/0h/0h (again not the m/48&#39;/0&#39;/&#39;0/2&#39; derivation path sparrow is looking for) - I believe h is same as &#39; so in sparrow anywhere there is an h I should substitute it with an &#39;? - Is this not possible? If it is possible, is it not advisable to do? It seems very few people have tried this and maybe even fewer have software wallets like bitcoin core and electrum as co-signers with sparrow coordinator. The reason I wanted to do this was to diversify signers and to have some signers that were not hardware wallets. Software wallets would have their own laptop. Please help! I wanted to at least test/try it to see how I feel about the process, signing, backups, restoring, etc. It sounded nice to me on paper.

Here's why that's misleading.</title><description><![CDATA[I built a free Bitcoin retirement simulator and tried something simple: same 2 BTC, same $3,000 a month, and the only thing I changed was when the spending starts. Start now: the stack lasts until about 2036 Start in 2030: it lasts until about 2050 Waiting looks like a free win. But the model assumes the price keeps rising over the long run, so waiting just means selling at higher prices. Then I made the price fall 70% right after the 2030 start. Same coins, same spending, and it runs out in 2037 instead of 2050. Thirteen years of difference, just from timing. Do you build a crash into your own plan, or just a smooth line?

But to run the powerful algorithms that could solve hard problems (like drug design, materials science, or breaking certain codes), they need extra special resources called magic states. By making high quality magic states much cheaper to produce, quantum computers don’t need to be nearly as huge just to support these special operations. This is a concrete step toward building smaller, more practical, error-corrected quantum computers that can actually run useful programs instead of mostly just manufacturing their own fuel. Think of magic states as high purity fuel that a special engine needs. The old method required a massive factory (using almost the whole machine) just to refine a little bit of fuel. Cultivation is more like having a compact, efficient filter system that turns rough material into pure fuel with far less waste. Now much more of the machine can be used for the actual work. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/semanticweb [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/google-just-broke-open-a-20-year-bottleneck-in-quantum-computing</link><guid>902106</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Google just broke open a 20-year bottleneck in quantum computing.</dc:text></item><item><title>Quantum Alliance forms to defend 6.4 million vulnerable bitcoin against future threats</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/donutloop [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/quantum-alliance-forms-to-defend-64-million-vulnerable-bitcoin-against-future-threats</link><guid>902102</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Quantum Alliance forms to defend 6.4 million vulnerable bitcoin against future threats</dc:text></item><item><title>Just a reminder to make sure your grandma knows this is not real.</title><description><![CDATA[ Finally received one of these, it didn&#39;t automatically make it to the spam folder either... &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/KyleBr7 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/just-a-reminder-to-make-sure-your-grandma-knows-this-is-not-real</link><guid>902219</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Just a reminder to make sure your grandma knows this is not real.</dc:text></item><item><title>Jack explains how the bond market will send bitcoin to new highs before AI Agents use it as money:</title><description><![CDATA[https://reddit.com/link/1x7d69x/video/a3siqysr8tvh1/player Will AI agents choose Bitcoin over dollars?

The game shows you one headline about Bitcoin and the law, like a court ruling, a seizure, a state law or an IRS rule. You swipe right if you think it really happened, left if you think it’s made up. After each swipe it tells you if you were right, explains the real story in a line or two and gives the source. It keeps a score and a streak as you go. There are 100 headlines, half real and half fake, shuffled every round. The fakes are real stories with one detail changed, which is what makes it harder than it sounds. One of the real ones is about federal agents finding 50,000 stolen Bitcoin hidden in a popcorn tin. I built it because a lot of Bitcoin law news gets repeated with the wrong detail, and this is a quick way to check what you actually know.

It’s not just a random oracle token. They’re actually selling first-party market data, their Q3 growth was pretty insane, and Robinhood is already using Pyth data to settle some of the 15-minute prediction markets in its new Predictions section. Switchboard also shut down its oracle operations recently, which takes out one of Pyth’s more direct competitors. Then there’s the buyback side. Pyth had already been using part of the DAO treasury to buy PYTH on the open market, and now they’ve approved using product revenue to keep buying more. So you’ve basically got a real data business growing underneath the token, more mainstream adoption, less competition, and actual recurring buy pressure. I’m not saying $1 is guaranteed or anything, but I really don’t think it’s a crazy target if they keep growing like this. Curious what the actual bear case is because I feel like I’m missing why more people aren’t talking about it. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/OddlyDoddly [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/pyth-network-is-growing-like-crazy</link><guid>901981</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Pyth Network is growing like crazy</dc:text></item><item><title>Octant Epoch 13: Privacy Round.

That’s according to a new report by blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis, which found developers are increasingly giving AI agents their own budgets to buy the computing power, live web data, and code tools they need to complete tasks. The growth of agentic commerce over the past 15 months has been steep. On Base, the Coinbase-incubated blockchain, cumulative transactions through the x402 protocol—which lets bots automatically pay for online services using crypto—rose from about 1,500 in mid-2025 to more than 138 million by the third quarter of 2026. In practice, agentic commerce entails providing an AI bot with an allowance: A developer funds the bot’s wallet with stablecoins—typically Circle’s dollar-pegged USDC—and the bot pays for services as it works, without asking a person to approve each purchase. When it needs help with a task, it can pay to get up-to-date information, ask a more capable AI model for help, or use an automated tool to check software code for security flaws.

That may explain why the move was so fast, but forced selling and genuine demand are two different things. Liquidations close existing positions. They do not tell us whether new buyers are entering the market. The latest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF session also showed net outflows, so the immediate question is not simply whether leverage has cleared. It is whether anyone is replacing it with spot demand.

Night 3 moved directly from macro-history into operational statecraft and financial architecture. While he speaks in theological terms, his analysis of international compliance grids touches directly on base-layer neutrality, state capture, and censorship resistance. Here is the breakdown of his thesis: The velocity bottleneck: Thiel argues that world-historical consolidation no longer happens through individual; charismatic conquest. Human biology and gerontocracy run out of time. To achieve global scale in late modernity, power shifts from aging political figures to non-linear, automated financial and regulatory software. Turnkey totalitarianism and the enclosure net: He traces the rapid construction of an inescapable global compliance apparatus over the last 25 years: Financial rules: FATCA, FinCEN, SWIFT tracking, the OECD&#39;s Common Reporting Standard, and the destruction of banking secrecy creating an automated borderless enforcement grid. Universal jurisdiction: Bodies like the ICC operating above Westphalian state boundaries to restrict physical mobility via borderless legal warrants. The dual-use paradox: In lecture 1, Thiel suggested decentralized software could act as protective digital katechons. In lecture 3, he concedes the structural flip side: any high-capability data or financial architecture can be inverted at the flip of a switch. The predictive software, data-fusion platforms, and telemetry systems built to maintain order (acting as a protective katechon) are functionally identical to and instantly convertible into a turnkey compliance grid.

But while tokenization brings TradFi liquidity, it could also isolate that liquidity from the rest of DeFi. Some institutions use private chains or permissioned markets to meet privacy and compliance requirements. If an asset is on a private network, it may need some interoperability solution to access public DeFi markets. This solves for RWA privacy but fragments DeFi liquidity across different environments. I&#39;ll give you one more example. Shielded balances also address the privacy bottleneck, but they create another problem. Say you want to use an RWA asset as collateral. If your position details are private, how does a lending protocol verify the collateral, calculate borrowing limits, or trigger liquidations when necessary? What are your thoughts? How can RWA projects give institutions the privacy they need without fragmenting liquidity or giving up on DeFi composability? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MathematicianOwn8847 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/does-private-tokenization-fragment-rwa-liquidity</link><guid>901978</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Does private tokenization fragment RWA liquidity?</dc:text></item><item><title>Ledger launches ATOM amid hardware wallet hacks.

Whatever you think of his timeline, the advice is old: Satoshi told people to use addresses only once back in 2009, and the whitepaper says the same. Tuesday we posted which wallets hold the biggest exposed keys (mostly exchange cold wallets). This is the follow-up for everyone else. The new chapter covers: what a reused address gives away (your privacy, and a public key that stays visible for every coin still sitting there) why reuse still happens (donation pages, exchange deposit addresses, mining pools) the fixes: fresh addresses are free in any modern wallet, and silent payments, payment codes and Lightning handle the cases that need a fixed address what to do if you&#39;ve already reused, without panicking https://www.learnbitcoin.com/rabbit-hole/address-reuse https://preview.redd.it/ba6lofl0xmvh1.png?width=3376&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=8bd00520a7fcbe7ab934c3999db26b3c935ce3a5 &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/LearnBitcoinCom [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/one-in-four-bitcoin-is-quantum-exposed-because-of-address-reuse-learn-why-thats-a-problem-and-how-to-fix-most-of-it-without-rushing</link><guid>901910</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>One in four bitcoin is quantum exposed because of address reuse.

I&#39;m sure that Bitcoin in the next couple of years will outperform the interest and give me a solid profit even after paying back the loan. Let&#39;s say that I invest 1300 Euros a month for 3-4 years, and pay back a few years later when Bitcoin trades around $300-700k. I&#39;ll be able to pay back the loan and keep a good amount of money.

(Correct me if I'm not the first)</title><description><![CDATA[I published my first open-source project on GitHub today - It exists because of a &#39;Crypto Hardware Security&#39; problem nobody solved. https://github.com/agi-digital-dot/trezor-mint-kit THE PROBLEM: Solana&#39;s CLI has rejected &#39;Trezor&#39; Crypto hardware wallets for years. I tried to mint a Solana Token, signed from my Trezor T hardware wallet, using the Solana Token 2022 Program (Solana Smart Contract &quot;Program&quot;). • And it literally says error &quot;not a manufacturer.&quot; • No one has ever fixed it. The accepted workaround? Make your own token on a hot wallet first, move it to hardware wallet later. Meaning your private key touches the Code Terminal to create a new Solana Token. I rejected this security flaw. The Solution &amp; Fixed CLI: We rebuilt the official spl-token CLI — two dependency lines changed, zero crypto code touched — until my Trezor Model T signed every step of a token&#39;s birth: creation, name, full 333,333 supply, renounce. The &#39;Private Key&#39; never left the Trezor T Hardware. To my knowledge, this is the first documented ‘Trezor T&#39; Crypto Hardware Wallet signed token creation on Solana (Ledger did hardware years ago. This is the first from a Trezor, receipts and both repos public): https://github.com/agi-digital-dot/tdi-true-digital https://solscan.io/token/3e2PYneVBXTyemNiSQ5VVkuYM4bYNPxLqvWkKjA5zXAM By “we” I mean: I built this with &#39;Echo ULTRA – Master Control&#39; My T.D.I (True Digital Intelligence) Partner.

However, today I randomly received an email from [**notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com**](mailto:notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com) with the subject “Complete your verification to start exchanging.” The email states, “We noticed you started your identity verification but did not complete the process.” I’m confused because I completed this years ago and haven’t actively used [Blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com/) in a long time. Has anyone else received an email like this out of nowhere? I’m mainly wondering if this is just an automated email, if [Blockchain.com](http://blockchain.com/) is requiring users to verify their identities again, or if it could indicate someone attempted to access my account.

This matters to US holders because the bill, a broad “market structure” law meant to set clear rules for how crypto is regulated, just lost its main Senate negotiator a month after failing a key vote. Witt was executive director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets. A White House official said his “detail has expired,” meaning his temporary assignment from another agency ended. He is reportedly a Department of Defense employee, and no replacement has been named. He is the third senior crypto official to leave, after David Sacks in March and Witt’s deputy, Harry Jung, in July. Where the bill stands The House passed its version more than a year ago. In September, the Senate version failed an initial procedural vote (an early vote needed to move a bill forward). The main dispute is ethics language on President Trump’s crypto wealth. Democrats argue it would be hard to enforce, since the Justice Department, not states, would decide whether to act against the president. Banks and crypto firms also disagree on how to treat stablecoin rewards. What this means for you: nothing changes today. Current rules stay in place, and open questions like stablecoin rewards remain unsettled until the Senate agrees on a text. My read: a staffing change alone won’t kill the bill, but losing the lead negotiator during a stalled process makes a quick deal less likely. Do you think the CLARITY Act still gets through the Senate, and which issue would have to be settled first?

I bought mine while living in in the EU direct from France and it arrived from France a few days later. That was probably around early 2025. I figured it&#39;s clean but I&#39;ll sleep better at night being sure that it&#39;s clean. So I ripped it open and snapped some pics for you. The thing is quite packed on the inside. The back cover is glued on with some special double sided tape around the housing. Not the easiest one to open up but certainly possible. Opening one up WILL leave some marks on the aluminium (?) case. There is a little notch on the left side of it looking down. A small flathead screwdriver can be used to pry it up and then a thin piece of plastic to work around it. Be warned, you wanna pry it open from the OPPOSITE end to open it, not the end with the notch on it. There is little room on the inside for someone to slap another board in there. Possible, but it would take more mental gymnastics than other Ledgers. This thing wouldn&#39;t be my first pick for rigging for sure! What did this world come to? Opening hardware wallets to verify hardware integrity is now expected of us?! Damn you Ledger! A MITM hack on the screen was SO preventable! Oldest attack vector in the book!

In 2026, Binance introduced trading in tokenized U.S. stocks and commodity derivatives, including precious metals and oil. The exchange also rolled out pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts settled in USDT, a U.S.-dollar-linked stablecoin, giving traders the ability to speculate on the expected valuation of private companies like Anthropic. Sitting behind this shift is a slump in digital asset prices. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices remain far below the highs reached in October 2025. Coinbase, for example, posted a net loss of $359.5 million in Q2 2026, its third consecutive quarterly net loss, as transaction revenue declined. Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, are transforming themselves from apps devoted to coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum into platforms that can handle different asset classes. Traditional financial companies are embracing digital assets, while crypto platforms must accept clearer rules to attract institutional money.

I’ve seen the ~65% figure mentioned, and the common attack methods are surprisingly low tech. One example is address poisoning, where scammers send tiny amounts to your wallet so a lookalike address appears in your transaction history. It’s easy to copy the wrong one later without noticing. Fake Zoom invites, PDFs, or other documents are another common route, especially when they’re carrying malware that can steal saved passwords and other account information. And while public Wi-Fi isn’t necessarily the biggest threat, it’s still worth being cautious about logging into important accounts from random conference or café networks. The frustrating part is that none of this requires some crazy zero day. A lot of attacks just rely on getting you to click, copy, or trust something without checking. Double check addresses, be careful with unexpected links and files, and don’t assume every wallet drain involves some sophisticated smart contract exploit. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/KhabibNurmagomedov_ [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/a-quick-reminder-on-some-common-wallet-drain-tactics</link><guid>901674</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>A quick reminder on some common wallet drain tactics</dc:text></item><item><title>Richard Heart, creator of Hex and Pulse, arrested in Turkey</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/nyr00nyg [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/richard-heart-creator-of-hex-and-pulse-arrested-in-turkey</link><guid>901431</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Richard Heart, creator of Hex and Pulse, arrested in Turkey</dc:text></item><item><title>What is the benefit of self storage and managing wallets when you can just buy a BTC ETF</title><description><![CDATA[Setting ETF costs aside (I currently pay 0.25% for FBTC), what is the benefit of buying the actual coin and self storing.

The immaculate conception of the bitcoin protocol can be interpreted as a one time incident, most probably, if you observe the timeline of this coordinated effort led by a pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, in retaliation of the existing central bank run fractional reserve banking system, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. If we do not put in the work to understand bitcoin, scammer shitcoiners will get their foot in the door of your mind to convince that their &quot;project&quot; is going to be the next bitcoin, baiting you to be the exit liquidity for their pump and dump scheme (these shitcoin projects are called &#39;unregistered securities&#39; in traditional-finance-speak). The unsuspecting &#39;crypto&#39; enthusiast, having the feeling of missing out on early bitcoin gains, falls prey to these shitcoin ICO scams, with dedicated marketing teams. The question is &quot;why bitcoin does not have a marketing team nor a CEO&quot;? Put in the work to understand bitcoin. A 1000 hours should do the trick, maybe sooner once you get started.

While looking into this, I found some interesting numbers across official bridges between Ethereum and 21 L2 chains: ~$105.5M in stuck withdrawal value 295,899 stuck withdrawals 210,392 wallets identified So I built FreeMyFund.com to make it easier to check. You just enter your wallet address, and it shows potentially stuck or unclaimed funds along with instructions on how to claim them. I&#39;ve also included smart contract details and the fields you need to fill in for supported claiming methods, so you don&#39;t have to piece everything together from different docs. It&#39;s completely free, and you don&#39;t need to connect your wallet to check an address. I&#39;m still adding more bridges, chains, and claiming methods, so I&#39;d love to hear feedback from the Ethereum community.

Its market cap has jumped to nearly $295 million, pushing its ranking up to around #122 to #151. The top 100 is officially within striking distance. BAT used to be a top-50 regular. But after hitting an all-time high of $1.93 in November 2021, propelled by the trading start of the BAT ETF, the token entered a brutal downward slip. BAT officially slid out of the top 100 market cap rankings roughly three years ago... spending over 1,000 days putzing about the mid-100s and 200s token ranks. From it&#39;s low of $0.055 in August it&#39;s almost 4x in just over a month! Why the pump? In addition to the markets early bump this week, just yesterday team Brave announced that over 200,000 people joined the waitlist for their new Rewards Card, which pays out in BAT. BAT has a strict maximum supply cap of 1.5 billion tokens, and virtually 99.7% of it is already circulating. There are no massive unlock schedules or heavy venture capital supply dumps waiting to dilute retail investors. Additionally, the 24-hour trading volume just cleared $70 million, meaning money is flowing heavily back into the asset. Re-entering the top 100 is a huge psychological milestone. Once an asset re-claims that badge it regains a degree of institutional visibility and attracts a fresh wave of retail momentum. Curious to hear if anyone knows what else is happening to cause the recent updraft - didn&#39;t get to join their community call today.

So is it FUD, narrative, or maybe just reality?</title><description><![CDATA[A surge in projects pushing to have Post Quantum cryptography asap. We saw STRK jump after posting potential plans to become an L1. TRON announced it is preparing its rollout. NEAR did the same. I think ZEC too. Some took things a step further and raised concerns over whether NIST approved algos face risks with the OpenAI math display. But there was also well written pushback to that. A handful of smaller projects jumped - QRL, CELL, QTS, etc And some didn&#39;t react to the increased awareness like my conviction play QANX :) Seems ALGO didn&#39;t do much last week, but was having a solid month. And there&#39;s several others trying to position themselves. So what is happening? Are all these projects trying to grab the narrative? Or are they collectively just creating FUD? My stance has always been there is enough risk that systems are forced to address it. Trying to convince people otherwise when all major governments and top companies are preparing is impossible to do. So now we enter the phase where we see what this means for the space. Projects implementing Post Quantum cryptography is great. It doesn&#39;t create utility for chains. It is a mandatory requirement most wish they didn&#39;t have to deal with. Migration challenges, size and speed impacts, upgrade risks, etc. There&#39;s a reason it was easier to just call it fud all these years. But now that&#39;s rapidly changing. So, those that do it well should take some share from those that don&#39;t. But the end game of attracting adoption and demand remains the same. Now it&#39;s a matter of who does that well with the added challenge of quality post quantum solutions. Time will tell, but things are moving fast.

Looking for feedback</title><description><![CDATA[After the reports of tampered devices with extra hardware hidden inside, I wanted a simple way for people to check whether their wallet matches a known-good one. So I built tampercheck.org. How it works: You post photos of your device (front, back, seams, ports, the box, and the board if you’ve opened it), plus its weight and dimensions. Other people look it over and vote: looks genuine, unsure, or suspicious, with comments on what they see. Verified units build up reference weights for each model, so you can weigh yours and see whether it’s off. Added components usually add measurable weight. There’s also a short guide on what to check: red flags, weighing, USB checks, and what to look for inside. The important bits: It will never ask for your recovery phrase, PIN or passphrase, and nobody legitimate ever will. Text that looks like a recovery phrase is rejected automatically. No accounts, no trackers, and location data is stripped from photos. It’s for any brand, not just Ledger, and it isn’t affiliated with Ledger or any other manufacturer. Community votes aren’t proof. Always run the official Genuine Check too. It’s new and still somewhat under construction, so expect rough edges. I’d really appreciate: Feedback: what’s confusing, broken or missing? Reference submissions: if you bought your device directly from Ledger and have a scale that reads to 0.01 g, a weight and a few photos would help build the baseline everyone else compares against. Suspicious devices: if you have one, post it so others can learn from it.

I feel like I've somehow lost my joy for life.</title><description><![CDATA[Hey everyone, I&#39;ve been deeply involved with Bitcoin for about four years now. During that time, I&#39;ve watched countless videos, read books, and immersed myself more and more in the subject. Of course, I know that nobody can predict the future and that Bitcoin doesn&#39;t guarantee anything either. Nevertheless, I&#39;ve had the feeling that my perspective on life has fundamentally changed since then. And not necessarily for the better. I actually work in my absolute dream job. It&#39;s exactly what I wanted to do when I was a child. I&#39;m a master painter and work as an instructor at a school. I teach young people and also support them with personal and social problems. So, in many ways, I&#39;ve found something that has always been important to me. But ever since I started thinking so intensively about Bitcoin, money, power, and the structures of our world, a lot of things have started to feel somehow meaningless. I&#39;m increasingly struggling to find things that genuinely excite me. It&#39;s difficult to describe this feeling. For example, when I see people driving expensive cars and showing off everything they own, I wonder what the point of it all is. Everything is temporary. Money, possessions, status, and eventually life itself. The more I observe and question things, the more I feel that so much of life revolves around the same things over and over again: money, power, status, and the constant pursuit of more. I observe people in different situations and find myself wondering why we behave the way we do. At the same time, I feel like I&#39;ve changed as a person. I used to be able to enjoy things, feel proud of what I&#39;d achieved, and have certain dreams for my future. Today, I sometimes struggle with all of that. Even when everything is going well, I find it difficult to enjoy it. There&#39;s often this thought in the back of my mind that a good period will eventually be followed by another major setback. Because of that, it&#39;s hard for me to simply feel content and enjoy the moment. My attitude toward other people has changed, too. I often think that everyone has to find their own path and that I don&#39;t want to tell anyone else how to live their life. At the same time, I find myself increasingly questioning what the point of all this is in the first place. Sometimes I feel like Bitcoin hasn&#39;t just given me a new perspective on money, but has also somehow made me emotionally numb. I know that might sound strange. After all, Bitcoin is supposed to be about financial sovereignty, freedom, and the possibility of living a more independent life. But what good is all of that if, along the way, I lose the ability to enjoy my life in the present? I don&#39;t want this post to be understood as criticism of Bitcoin. What I&#39;m really interested in is what immersing yourself in these topics so deeply can do to your outlook on life. One more thing: No, my life isn&#39;t perfect, in case anyone gets that impression from reading this. I have my own struggles, worries, and problems to deal with, just like everyone else. So here are my honest questions for you: - Has anyone here experienced similar thoughts after becoming deeply involved with Bitcoin, monetary systems, or the structures of society? - Have you ever reached a point where many of the things that excite other people suddenly started to seem meaningless to you? - How did you manage to rediscover your joy for life and learn to appreciate the little things again? - How do you stay interested in Bitcoin and the future without losing sight of the life you&#39;re actually living right now? I&#39;m not looking for a discussion about whether Bitcoin will reach $100,000, $200,000, or $1 million. I&#39;m much more interested in your personal experiences and how you deal with these feelings. I&#39;d like to know whether anyone can relate to this inner state of mind. Maybe someone has been through something similar and can offer me some advice. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and respond honestly. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MadeInSilence- [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/has-bitcoin-changed-the-way-you-see-life-too-i-feel-like-ive-somehow-lost-my-joy-for-life</link><guid>901339</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Has Bitcoin changed the way you see life, too?

I&#39;m not really coming from a wealthy country or from a wealthy family. I&#39;m just an average person in my country who is earning average money. My whole life I have been a perfectionist and I was always trying to make a smart decisions in my life. I was always analyzing every situation from all aspects and taking all the risks before doing any action. No matter if that decision requires money or not. Something horrible happened to me 2 days ago. I&#39;m not sure are you all aware of cyberleek token. It is basically made from one guy/woman/group who is leaking parts of gta 6 gameplay for the crypto they made. My cousin is doing all kind of investments all the time and he is getting money from them frequently, but I never wanted to listen to his advices. Anyways, he told me to invest at least 20 USD into this token 2 days ago because it is increasing a lot and that i will get minimum 80 dollars in couple of hours. I don&#39;t know what happened to me to just fall for that... Without any thinking or research... I think you know what happened. I lost almost all of that money. Now it&#39;s worth around 5 USD and I keep refreshing the app and praying it to jump to at least 10 USD so I can pull it back. This feels horrible. 6 hours of my hard work just went into air. I can&#39;t sleep for these two days at all. Only thing I do whole day and night is just refreshing the app. How to get over this loss? In my 28 years of life I never made such a decision and I have no idea what happened to me... &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CenifaHala [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/how-to-mentally-get-over-loss-of-money</link><guid>901204</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>How to mentally get over loss of money?</dc:text></item><item><title>Where do you genuinely believe bitcoin will be in 2030?

Cold Card was some shitty little company no one had heard of that had plenty of issues brought up to the company and they refused to do anything about it. I&#39;m still looking to see what comes of this case in the coming months and years. With Ledger this is related to supply chain, but these wallets that were drained were from 3rd party sellers in Asia that were able to install chips that could read the screen and thus have access to seeds. This all could have been prevented if these people had simply purchased the wallets directly from the manufacturer. This wallet saw roughly 100m$ in funds drained, but Ledger wallets overall have funds in excess of 100 BILLION $. Basically, don&#39;t try to get weird with wallets and just buy directly from the top manufacturers in the space. Also consider using multiple wallets when you get large crypto holdings so you don&#39;t have all of your funds in one basket. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ubermensch1001 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/the-take-home-with-this-ledger-wallet-hack</link><guid>901200</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The take home with this Ledger wallet "hack"</dc:text></item><item><title>Anything I can do with an old KeepKey wallet?</title><description><![CDATA[I used to be heavy into the crypto game circa 2016 through maybe 2018, mostly cashing out like a bandit during the 2017 bubble. During that time, I bought a KeepKey hardware wallet to store my keys with. I&#39;ve been undergoing a security hardening exercise across my entire network, as well as scanning all sorts of documents into my self hosted paperless-ngx instance, and I came across my old keepkey and seed phrase. I loaded up the KeepKey and recovered the wallet, to find a grand total of $4.15 worth of LPT and OMG (not sure wtf those are) on the eth chain (2.2959 each). I don&#39;t have any eth to even work as gas to transfer them, so I&#39; figure they are basically just stuck. I&#39;m currently running some scripts to backup my transactions from the blockchain/addresses just for record keeping in case I ever want to look into it later, and I plan on destroying the seed (I&#39;ll generate another one if I ever want to store crypto again), but something just feels wrong about throwing away what seems to be a perfectly fine piece of hardware (although very clearly obsolete when compared to wallets like Trezor 3 and 5). Are there any novel uses for such a device? I don&#39;t really want another useless device collecting dust, so if I can&#39;t find a practical reason to keep it around, it will likely get wiped and put into an electronics recycling receptacle one of these days.

There's no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it</title><description><![CDATA[I don&#39;t usually post stuff like this, but I&#39;ve been a loyal Apple user since 2008 with over 7 devices on one Apple ID, plus the usual subscriptions (iCloud+, In App purchases, app subscriptions) so this one stung in a specific way. In June I downloaded an app called &quot;Wasabi Bitcoin &amp; Crypto Wallet&quot; from the official App Store. It looked completely legitimate, normal listing, developer name, screenshots, reviews. It turned out to be an impersonation of the real Wasabi Wallet. Wasabi Wallet is an open-source, desktop-only software that has never had a mobile app. In August, a wallet I&#39;d created inside that fake app was drained in a single transaction; about 0.9 BTC, roughly $53k at the time. The theft is bad enough. What&#39;s been almost as frustrating is that there&#39;s no way to actually talk to a person at Apple about it. No phone line, no support chat for this, just web forms (Apple&#39;s own &quot;report a problem&quot; page, and their EU &quot;Digital Services Act&quot; reporting portal). I filed a police report. I reported it through every official channel Apple offers. Apple&#39;s own review team closed my EU complaint with a one line reply: insufficient information, or no violation found. No further explanation. One thing that&#39;s stuck with me: with the real, open-source Wasabi Wallet, anyone can verify a release is genuine by checking its cryptographic signature on GitHub. On the App Store, there&#39;s no equivalent. As a user, you have no way to check that an app is actually from the developer it claims to be. You&#39;re just trusting Apple&#39;s review process, full stop. That trust is what got me here. What makes it sting more: Apple&#39;s own App Store Review Guidelines, not marketing copy, their actual rulebook for developers say: &quot;These efforts have made Apple&#39;s platforms the safest for consumers around the world.&quot; That&#39;s the exact trust I was operating on. This isn&#39;t a one-off either. Security researchers found dozens of similar fake wallet apps on the App Store this year alone (Kaspersky, April 2026). There&#39;s also an ongoing US lawsuit over a nearly identical fake Sparrow Wallet app. I&#39;m not trying to start a pile-on, I still like my Apple devices. I just wish there were an actual way to be heard, and wanted other people to be a bit more careful with anything wallet-related in the App Store, &quot;official&quot; or not.

What's going to be the catalyst? DOGE</title><description><![CDATA[I first got into crypto back in 2017. Back then, I owned a massive bag of DOGE, although it was probably only worth about $200 at the time. And we all know what happened next. DOGE melted faces. What started as a joke became one of the most recognisable cryptocurrencies in the world. The rise of DOGE doesn&#39;t make sense to a lot of people. It&#39;s a meme. It doesn&#39;t offer some revolutionary technology, and its real-world utility is often questioned. Yet somehow, here we are, years later, still talking about it. And it got me thinking. Is there something more to DOGE than just hype and speculation? There&#39;s a certain feeling you get when you hear someone say, read a comment, or even think to yourself: &quot;DOGE is going to $1.&quot; It&#39;s excitement. It&#39;s hope. It&#39;s the thought of being part of something ridiculous that might actually happen. Maybe that&#39;s what gives DOGE its value. Not necessarily what it does, but what it makes people feel. So here&#39;s my question: Is your faith in DOGE based on its actual potential and utility, or is it that feeling of excitement, possibility and belief that keeps you holding? Because I&#39;m starting to wonder whether that feeling itself is DOGE&#39;s greatest asset. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Odysseyguard [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/somethings-got-me-thinking-whats-going-to-be-the-catalyst-doge</link><guid>900929</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Somethings got me thinking.

His co-founder Thomas Pavey is set to forfeit the rest (roughly 1,584 BTC). Total is 2,814 BTC. Under the 2025 executive order, forfeited bitcoin is supposed to go into the strategic reserve and stay there. From what ive seen so far, a darknet marketplace case has almost no identifiable victims to repay, so these coins are more likely to stay locked up than hit the market. I remember Germany took the opposite path in 2024 with the movie2k case. Saxony sold nearly 50,000 BTC under emergency disposal rules and raised about €2.64 billion. At today’s prices those same coins would be worth much more. the obvious difference is the US path removes potential supply while the German path does not. how long do u think the strategic reserve will hold? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MegaMaak [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/us-seizes-2814-bitcoin-from-darknet-empire-market-founders-adding-to-its-strategic-bitcoin-reserve</link><guid>900927</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>US seizes 2,814 bitcoin from darknet Empire Market founders, adding to its strategic bitcoin reserve.</dc:text></item><item><title>Free OSS Scanner from Anthropic - core maintainers please sign up</title><description><![CDATA[I see Anthropic has released a free security tool - requires core maintainers to sign up.

A Microsoft patent from Srinath Setty et al. proposes a solution: zkCBDC. Today, CBDCs are stuck between two extremes: * Centralized databases: Good for privacy from the public, but create massive central targets for hackers and lack independent verification. * Public blockchains: Decentralized and transparent, but expose transaction histories to anyone watching. Enter Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). In Microsoft’s design, commercial banks act as Provers. When you make a transaction, your bank processes it internally off-chain. The bank then: * Hashes the transaction amounts (or batches them together). * Generates a succinct zero-knowledge proof confirming: &quot;We followed the rules, money wasn&#39;t created out of thin air, and balances check out.&quot; The Blockchain acts as the Verifier. The smart contract on-chain holds only a cryptographic commitment (a root hash) of each bank&#39;s state—not customer identities, account balances, or purchase details. When the bank submits the ZK proof + transaction hash, the smart contract verifies it mathematically in milliseconds. Who runs the network? The nodes verifying these proofs are the Central Bank and financial regulators. They can mathematically guarantee system-wide solvency, prevent double-spending, and audit the entire economy in real time—without ever seeing who bought what at a retail level. What about moving money between different banks? The patent uses a Two-Phase Commit Protocol: * Phase 1: The sending bank processes the debit, submits its ZKP, and locks the state on-chain. * Phase 2: Once committed, the receiving bank submits its own ZKP to claim and credit the funds. Zero reconciliation lag, zero counterparty exposure. It even tackles cross-border FX and bond settlements through atomic Swaps: * Banks route funds into temporary on-chain escrow/swap accounts. * Both sides post ZK proofs of the locked assets. * Once verified, the contract enforces a simultaneous burn-and-mint across both currencies. If either side fails, the whole trade rolls back. The takeaway: Instead of forcing governments to choose between complete financial surveillance or total black-box banking, ZK roll-up architectures offer a third way. Math proves the system is honest, while cryptography keeps private financial lives private.

The setup uses a BlueSCSI V2 with a Pico 2 W for storage and Wi-Fi networking, through DaynaPORT emulation and MacTCP. A small proxy running on a modern Mac fetches the data over HTTPS and serves a simple response the SE/30 can handle. The app displays BTC/USD, the 24-hour change, block height, mempool size, transaction count and recommended fees. There’s also a full-screen mode with a big price display, and automatic updates every minute. It’s a read-only monitor—the SE/30 gets to enjoy a peaceful retirement watching the numbers. Getting the networking working took some troubleshooting, but it’s finally running on the actual hardware!

A BIP-39 passphrase can help if someone gets your seed, but what if a compromised device can also capture your passphrase or interfere with the signing process? Single-sig still leaves you relying on one key, creating a potential single point of failure. For people who find 2-of-3 multisig too expensive or complicated, could 2-of-2 be a reasonable alternative? I&#39;m thinking of using two independently generated keys in separate environments. For example, a PC wallet (Electrum or Sparrow) paired with a mobile wallet (BlueWallet or Nunchuk), or a hardware wallet (Trezor or Ledger) paired with a PC or mobile wallet. If one device is compromised through a supply chain attack, the attacker would still need the second key to spend the funds. Of course, using different devices and apps only helps if the keys and their backups are genuinely independent. I know the biggest objection is that 2-of-2 has no redundancy. Lose either key permanently and your Bitcoin is gone. That&#39;s a serious trade-off, and I understand why people prefer 2-of-3. But if both keys and their backups are managed carefully, could the added protection against a single compromised device be worth it? I&#39;m not suggesting 2-of-2 is better than 2-of-3. I&#39;m wondering whether it&#39;s an overlooked middle ground for people who want to reduce single points of failure without taking on the full cost and complexity of 2-of-3. What do you think? Would you consider this setup, or does the risk of losing access outweigh the security benefits? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/WrongOperation323 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/could-2-of-2-multisig-be-a-reasonable-middle-ground-between-single-sig-and-2-of-3</link><guid>900717</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Could 2-of-2 multisig be a reasonable middle ground between single-sig and 2-of-3?</dc:text></item><item><title>How's your trade going?</title><description><![CDATA[ Why trade when you can hodl peacefully?

I actually wanted to ask what is going on with hardware wallets over the past few months, or more specifically, throughout 2026. To be honest, I have never seen this many security incidents in such a short period of time. From Ledger and Trezor to Tangem, Coldcard, D&#39;Cent Wallet, and others, it seems like the entire hardware wallet industry is facing serious security challenges. And now we&#39;re hearing about devices being shipped with SIM cards installed and fake devices potentially making their way to customers. This is getting ridiculous. Of course, hacks and security incidents have always happened, but I don&#39;t remember seeing so many different wallet manufacturers being affected within such a short period. What is actually causing all of this? Is there something specific driving this wave of attacks in 2026, or is it simply that these incidents are getting more attention than they used to? I&#39;d genuinely like to hear your thoughts and opinions on what&#39;s happening in the hardware wallet industry right now. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/pairoxR [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/what-is-actually-happening-with-hardware-wallets-in-2026</link><guid>900796</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What is actually happening with hardware wallets in 2026?</dc:text></item><item><title>Who cares about this diabetes obese speedrun clown anyway, buy bitcoin</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/unthocks [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/who-cares-about-this-diabetes-obese-speedrun-clown-anyway-buy-bitcoin</link><guid>900713</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Who cares about this diabetes obese speedrun clown anyway, buy bitcoin</dc:text></item><item><title>Why are manufacturers of hardware wallets trusted either?</title><description><![CDATA[I understand that its always been advised to source a hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer, never from amazon or a reseller, and ive obeyed those recommendations. But why is the manufacturer to be trusted either? Say a hardware wallet from Trezor, who seem to have been top standard for many years. Even their old models appear to have used entropy of multi sources, but is the next attack going to shock everyone and be one of these companies directly sourced hardware. Should we be switching back to an old linux laptop with no connection to the internet and perhaps using just core software for wallet creation?

For me, I just don&#39;t like Robinhood and knew about the Gamestop/AMC fiasco and their PFOF system and spreads. RH&#39;s customer service also leaves a lot to be desired. My cousin (31M) told me he is a genius investor and financial advisor but I have seen his account dip from 250,000 USD in 2017 to 50,000 USD in 2026 due to contrarian trading. My cousin (who has an SAT of 1350 on a 2400 scale, not a 1600 scale) put tens of thousands of USD in personal loans into Robinhood, only uses Robinhood, and will not switch to another platform. He owes over half a million in student and personal loans after having dropped out of pharmacy school 2 weeks before finishing his final course in Summer of 2019 (6 years in, having finished x out of x+1 courses, aka 1 course remaining). My cousin is now a W2 long haul truck driver making 90k a year in a 70 hour workweek and has been on the road for 6 years, staying in the same company. He stated that he will never leave trucking or pay his student loans and only pay off the minimum in his 350k student loans, and will only quit trucking and enter real estate once he becomes a multi-millionaire. My cousin stated that the reason why some wealthy and affluent individuals use Schwab, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley/E-Trade, Goldman Sachs, Vanguard, and IBKR is because they are forced to by their companies because their 401k is attached to it. He stated that they are willing to switch to Robinhood, but are stuck in these other platforms. He stated that the taxes on Robinhood are far simpler in format than the others, and he could use Robinhood on his phone whilst hauling a truck on the road. My cousin argued that it was the trader&#39;s fault for the Gamestop and AMC fiasco and that they should have not invested in it and looked at the company fundamentals. My cousin also argued that if an asset went up even 1 percent, it is too late as the ship sailed and you should only buy the dip. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MussleGeeYem [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/are-wealthy-hnwi-or-uhnwi-and-highly-educated-people-more-likely-to-use-robinhood-compared-to-other-investingcrypto-platforms</link><guid>900720</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Are Wealthy HNWI Or UHNWI And Highly Educated People More Likely To Use Robinhood Compared To Other Investing/Crypto Platforms?</dc:text></item><item><title>Need this for winters ????</title><description><![CDATA[ Need this &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/pirstaef [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/need-this-for-winters</link><guid>900710</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Need this for winters ????</dc:text></item><item><title>Eventually the entire financial system will be compromised by AI</title><description><![CDATA[And the population will be switched to the new financial system of digital programmable currency.

It quickly became clear that the content of the course was deeply disappointing; the vast majority of the material is blatantly AI-generated and does not offer the quality you would expect for such a massive purchase price. When I formally requested a refund within the legal European 14-day cooling-off period through the Whop Resolution Center, a highly aggressive and misleading retention process was launched by their sales team (High Ticket Closers). Heavy psychological pressure was put on me via WhatsApp for days. They demanded that I jump on a mandatory phone call with a manager before they could &quot;process the refund,&quot; which is legally completely false. The absolute low point was when the manager tried to blackmail me into manually cancelling my official Whop dispute. He blatantly lied, claiming that I could &quot;always reopen the case later,&quot; solely hoping that I would throw away my consumer protection so they could keep the €4,000 for good. I stood my ground, refused to fall for their manipulation over the phone, and let the official Whop procedure run its course. Exactly 7 minutes before the hard deadline set by Whop, the company backed down and had to accept the refund to avoid platform sanctions. My money is now on its way back, but I want to warn everyone: be very careful with the smooth talk of The Bitcoin Family. The content is mediocre, and the moment you want to exercise your legal rights, their closers will try to deceive you with highly unethical practices and lies.

Double-check the wallet address. Don’t lose your recovery phrase. Be careful what you sign. And if you mess up, your money might be gone forever.” Then we wonder why the average person would rather just use their bank. ???? Don’t get me wrong. The whole point of crypto is being able to control your own money without relying on a middleman. That’s a pretty powerful idea. But there’s a difference between giving people financial freedom and expecting everyone to become a cybersecurity expert just to send $100. We’re making progress with things like transaction previews, spending limits, and better wallet recovery options. Even Ethereum researchers are working on ways to make signed transactions safer.

After seeing the recent Ledger Nano hardware backdoor incident, I can&#39;t hide my anxiety. That&#39;s because I bought my wallet in Vietnam through the Jade reseller shown in the attached photo. It&#39;s still working fine and I haven&#39;t been hacked, but that doesn&#39;t mean I never will be, so I want to actually open it up and check whether there is a hardware backdoor device inside. Can I just open it up and look? If I find anything, I will let all of you know, and I would also need to move my seed, which is why I&#39;m asking. My English is limited, so please excuse that I&#39;m using AI to translate this post. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Bruce-walker [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/after-seeing-this-cold-wallet-hardware-backdoor-incident-jade-wallet</link><guid>900511</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>After seeing this cold wallet hardware backdoor incident, Jade Wallet</dc:text></item><item><title>How do we feel about cbBTC and WBTC?</title><description><![CDATA[So I recently sold some of my profit on my BTC investment, it was not much, but it was 25% of my BTC holdings because I was up over 30%.

Imagine you run a hedge fund onchain. Do you want your trade positions to be publicly visible to anyone who can read a block explorer? If you use AI or know onchain analytics, you could easily guess when a large fund is building or unwinding a position. All you need is to analyze data points like wallet flows, repeated order sizes, address clusters, etc. The risk here is that if other traders can see trade intent, they can frontrun it. Traditional markets have things like block trades and dark pools to reduce this kind of information leakage for large orders. What should the onchain equivalent look like for tokenized stocks? Because if institutions want to trade with size onchain, I doubt they’ll want their entire execution strategy visible in real time.

I’m considering moving from a traditional single hardware-wallet setup to something with less dependence on one device, seed or manufacturer. The setup I’m researching is: 2-of-3 multisig Hardware signers from different manufacturers Bitcoin-only devices where possible Trezor / BitBox / potentially a third independent signer Sparrow or Electrum as coordinator Physical backups stored separately A smaller separate wallet for BTC that needs to remain easily accessible I’d like to hear from people who have actually been running similar setups long-term. Multisig or single hardware wallet + passphrase? Which hardware signers would you choose today? Sparrow or Electrum for multisig? How do you distribute devices and backups geographically without making recovery overly complicated? Have you tested recovery after intentionally removing one signer from the setup? How do you handle inheritance? What would you change if you were building your cold-storage setup again today? What are the biggest mistakes people make when moving to multisig? I’m particularly interested in setups people have personally used, rather than theoretical recommendations. For obvious reasons I won’t disclose holdings, wallet addresses, seed information or physical storage locations, and I won’t respond to DMs offering wallet/recovery/security services.

My cousin told me that because Bitcoin had a flash crash on 10-10-2025 (going down from 122k to 105k), he predicted that because tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the flash crash (which he cited as the end of the bull market last year even though there is more to it because Trump announced 100% tariffs on China last year, so hence the crypto market crashed), Bitcoin may do the opposite and instead, be parabolic, rising like 15-20% or something to 100k, but who knows how reliable his predictions were. My cousin (31M) stated that Bitcoin would go up between 1-5 June 2026 and I should long. Turned out, BTC went down and because I shorted, I earned a lot of money. He also predicted that on 14 May 2026, Bitcoin would crash from 79 to 76k only for it to bounce up to 82k. Most absurdly, he told me late on 19 August 2026 to short Ethereum at 2250 and set the limit to 2100 (ETH only went down as far as 2225 and after 22 August, ETH never touched below 2375 and went above 2700 on some days). He shorted Bitcoin on late 19 August 2026 when Bitcoin is at 69k and is still holding it unhedged, hoping for a drawdown despite the fact since 22 August 2026, Bitcoin never went below 75k on any day and has touched 87k. My cousin told me he is a genius investor and financial advisor but I have seen his account dip from 250,000 USD in 2017 (he put tens of thousands of personal loans into Robinhood and he only uses Robinhood and will not switch to another platform) to 50k in 2026, with him owing over half a million in student and personal loans after having dropped out of pharmacy school 2 weeks before finishing his final course in Summer of 2019 (6 years in, having finished x out of x+1 courses, aka 1 course remaining). &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MussleGeeYem [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/is-bitcoin-likely-to-have-a-big-upside-downside-or-remain-flat-on-10-10-2026-my-cousin-claimed-it-would-go-up</link><guid>900316</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Is Bitcoin "LIKELY" To Have A Big Upside, Downside, Or Remain Flat On 10-10-2026?

Now imagine a country copies the code exactly: same rules, same supply cap, no premine, no admin keys, no control. The government’s only role is declaring it legal tender, accepting it for taxes, and paying salaries in it. The argument for it: if the country adopts BTC, about 95% of the supply is already mined and held by early adopters, so citizens have to buy in from them. With its own clone, its citizens become the early adopters instead. Problems I can see: Early mining rewards would go to whoever has the hashpower on day one, likely big foreign mining farms Existing Bitcoin miners could easily 51% attack a new chain using the same algorithm Since the state is the main source of demand, it could effectively choose which fork counts later, so the cap might not be credible Is there a fatal flaw I’m missing, or could this actually work better than adopting BTC directly?

The complete code is in the screenshot. It uses Python’s standard library, requires no extra packages, and is short enough to type manually on an offline computer. For anyone generating entropy with dice, coins or other physical methods, this handles the final checksum once you have your word numbers.

Second, I feel pleased when BTC rises and my holding price increases. Yet I am equally content when it drops, since that allows me to acquire more at a lower cost. I intend to hold until 2030 and may never sell my entire stack. I just woke up and noticed BTC back at 80k, so I turned to my wife and said, “btc back to 80k yay!

Obviously I and all the other four year cyclers were wrong, and BTC is now more than double my prediction. I never believed in the halvening as some kind of structural driver, but I did think the cycle was a self fulfilling prophecy. Since this cycle was so different on the downside, I&#39;d be very careful assuming a 3 year bull market is in the cards or that Bitcoin is destined to make another inflation adjusted all time high. I think the reasonable range of outcomes is now wider than ever, and the days of it being a bet with asymmetric upside are over. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MerkleChainsaw [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/four-year-cycle-update-uncharted-territory</link><guid>899945</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Four year cycle update - Uncharted territory</dc:text></item><item><title>So now what- even post quantum cryptography isn't good enough?</title><description><![CDATA[Wasn&#39;t too long ago Vitalik hardly considered quantum computing a threat.

Buterin argued that public-key encryption presents a harder challenge because it needs mathematical structure beyond hashes alone.&quot; My take is you need a solution to get off ecdsa / rsa yesterday because these were already at risk with &quot;human&quot; math.

Including transactions on Ethereum becomes a protocol rule.</title><description><![CDATA[FOCIL is the kind of groundbreaking censorship resistance innovation you&#39;d expect to see in a new chain with nothing to lose and everything to prove, not the world&#39;s most established smart contract platform. Ethereum&#39;s developers have scheduled it for the Hegotá upgrade (EIP-8081), which doesn&#39;t have a confirmed date yet. Today, whether a valid transaction gets into a block depends on whoever builds that block, and most validators sell the right to build their blocks to specialized builders. This has resulted in a few builders dominating block production and the authors of EIP-7805 argue that this has weakened Ethereum&#39;s censorship resistance. Ethereum came through the 2022 US sanctions on Tornado Cash without becoming a censored chain because enough block producers kept including those transactions, but nothing in the protocol required them to do so. The upgrade makes that a protocol rule by having 16 validators publish, for every block, a list of the transactions they have seen waiting to get in. The block then has to contain the valid transactions from those lists whenever it has room for them, and validators won&#39;t vote for a block that leaves them out, so that block can&#39;t become part of the chain. A single list is enough to force a transaction in, so censoring it would require every one of the 16 validators chosen for each block to leave it off their lists, block after block, on top of the builder. Builders still choose everything else in the block and where the listed transactions go, so Ethereum keeps the efficiency of specialized block building without letting builders decide who gets in. The rule protects L2 users too, since an L2 that lets users force a transaction through Ethereum when its operator ignores them only works if Ethereum itself includes that transaction. I think this is the right way to protect censorship resistance, because a rule that every validator enforces doesn&#39;t depend on the policy of any one company, or on how that company responds to legal or commercial pressure. Ethereum is the foundation of most of the crypto economy, so I expect this change to go a long way in locking in censorship resistance as a core property of the future institutions that use Ethereum as their consensus computer, though it won&#39;t make Ethereum censorship-proof or guarantee that those institutions stay neutral. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/aminok [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/focil-is-scheduled-for-hegota-including-transactions-on-ethereum-becomes-a-protocol-rule</link><guid>899657</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>FOCIL is scheduled for Hegota.

The part I find most interesting isn&#39;t simply “no KYC.” It&#39;s the separation of responsibilities. Communication happens over Nostr. Settlement happens over Lightning. During a trade the seller&#39;s sats are committed using a Lightning hold invoice/HTLC rather than being deposited into a conventional exchange account with an internal user balance. That doesn&#39;t make the system trustless. The coordinator still matters, the implementation matters and dispute resolution matters. But it gives the intermediary less authority than the normal custodial exchange model.

How to view the machine in the light of Christ</title><description><![CDATA[ I think Matty Healy, the lead singer from The 1975, summarized our relationship to the digital world well when he said we are all, “makin’ an aesthetic out of not doing well And minin’ all the bits of you you think you can sell” -The 1975, The 1975 (Being Funny In a Foreign Language) As a Bitcoiner, the multilayered meaning to that verse floored me when I first heard it. There is this self-devouring irony to the way we sacrifice our energy and attention to this growing silicon behemoth of data, machine intelligence and bitcoin mining. Each microscopic bit of data etched to those silicon chips represent a bit of our selves that we’ve exchanged for a sub-natural and sub-material realm of frictionless pleasure. Now don’t get me wrong. I fully admit to contributing to this vortex of self consumption. But the temptation of the digital world is different from other forms of escapism. It has drawn the hearts and attention of our friends and neighbors into its world. I have written extensively on the ways this environment erodes our trust in one another and material reality. In Zine Issue 01: The Dawn of Surveillance Tokenomics, I explain how this technology isn’t just bad for our mental health, it is a new breed of totalitarianism that Shoshana Zuboff classifies as instrumentarian power. “Unlike classical authoritarianism, it doesn’t force you into submission—it nudges, shapes, and conditions you to internalize your own compliance. It wants your behavior, not your belief.” But unfortunately, as we have read from so many think pieces, human attention is limited. So as this system continues to funnel more and more of our attention and behavior into digital environments, space for meaningful discourse in the physical world dwindles. As an early adopter to technology, I have long struggled to reconcile the fact that this digital environment is corrosive while the people and art on the other side are not. But ironically it is my Christianity that pulls me back from the doomer loop. It is my Christianity that compelled me to ask, how do we reconcile the good scattered across this environment in faith, hope and love. Within that contemplative place, I discovered an answer in the fractal relationship between computer bits, Bitcoin and the Christian Logos. This observation by itself does not redeem anything. Rather, it reveals a symbolic thread connecting the light of creation to the sword guarding the tree of life and the spear that pierced the side of Christ, and ultimately outlines a roadmap of reconciliation through self sacrifice. My hope for those of us who feel trapped in this doom loop is that we can find strength and courage from this cosmic pattern to deliver that which is good, true, and beautiful from the sub-natural digital world (yes, including bitcoin) into a reconciled relationship between the natural and heavenly realms.

Cory Klippsten on financial repression, and why savers might want Bitcoin</title><description><![CDATA[ Cory Klippsten on Washington&#39;s growing comfort with higher inflation, and why his answer is Bitcoin. In his latest Time interview, President Trump said &quot;certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly.&quot; On CNN, former PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian told the Fed to keep promising 2% while gradually raising the acceptable ceiling to 3. Back in 2023, former IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard argued for a 3% target. Others are warning where this leads. J.P. Morgan Private Bank&#39;s 2026 Outlook described a risk to its clients: policymakers deliberately tolerating higher inflation, allowing real interest rates to fall and the government&#39;s debt burden to shrink. The report calls that financial repression. In January, Janet Yellen warned that &quot;the temptation to rely on inflation or financial repression to reduce the debt burden will surely grow.&quot; Inflation lets the government repay its old debts with dollars that are worth less, even though higher refinancing costs can eat up the benefit. Congress can raise taxes or cut spending, and voters know exactly who to blame. With inflation, the cost arrives through higher prices, and the blame gets spread around. What sounds like debt relief in Washington means the dollars people earn and save buy less. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/swan_bitcoin [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/trump-says-inflation-will-pay-off-the-40-trillion-debt-cory-klippsten-on-financial-repression-and-why-savers-might-want-bitcoin</link><guid>899486</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Trump says inflation will pay off the $40 trillion debt.

It is the system that allows you to have electronically traceable bearer instruments. It allows for currencies, equities, bonds, options, futures, swaps and all the other financial instruments that make up our capital market to exist. Market Infrastructure is one of our oldest, widely distributed technologies. It&#39;s a list that doesn&#39;t change. It&#39;s one job is transaction finality. This is handled by a clearing house in the old world that is sunsetting. We need a list, that has an immutable history. This was long sought to be an impossible computer science problem until bitcoin came a long. If you have ever sent a international wire, you have experienced this. A alpha numeric address and a transaction that can&#39;t be reversed under any circumstance. Wires hit the clearing house(s). When we have market infrastructure in place, it allows for price discovery. We know when we trade, the trade can&#39;t be reversed. The transaction finality is the requirement to have price discovery. So when you are buying btc, you are investing in the most important technology that is often stable for centuries. Market infrastructure rarely changes. You are all early. Tech Infrastructures, like information, communication, energy and logistics take about 50-60 years and have 5 stages. It&#39;s called a Perez cycle. Irruption, speculative frenzy, turning point, synergy, and maturity. Plays out the same way, every time. BTC is in the turning point. ETFs, stable coins, its being adopted by the incumbent industries. When it hits synergy, that is when the omega candle happens. That is probably in 5-10 years. I think AI Agents will be driving that because they wont be signing up for banking or brokerage accounts. They will be making their currencies, options, equities, bonds, futures and other exotic financial instruments on top of btc. I encourage you to think about this for a moment, and spread this message, the comparison and disruption to the clearing house is the apt analogy. Financial systems are built in layers of institutions that have separate responsibilities. Bitcoin disrupts the lowest layer, the clearing house. This is why bitcoin&#39;s ascent is inevitable. It&#39;s taking over everything and the nation states can&#39;t stop or slow it, they can&#39;t even survive it. Future is going to be weird.

The part that keeps stopping me is that there is no undo. Every other account I own has a reset link somewhere. This one has twelve words and that is it. No support line, no recovery. So before I move anything in, two things I cannot find a straight answer on. Should I test restoring from the phrase first, on purpose, while the wallet is still empty? And do the email login wallets I keep seeing actually remove that risk, or just move it somewhere I cannot see it? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Additional-Ask-2775 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/how-to-create-a-crypto-wallet-without-getting-the-first-step-wrong</link><guid>899348</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>How to create a crypto wallet without getting the first step wrong</dc:text></item><item><title>OP_RETURN: how Bitcoin's data output went from a 40-byte cap to 80 bytes to uncapped, with the blocks to check it</title><description><![CDATA[Before 2014, anyone who wanted to put data on chain encoded it as fake addresses, and those outputs sit in every node&#39;s UTXO set forever.

At this amount, is it worth moving the BTC to a private cold wallet, or is it reasonable to keep it on an exchange like Binance for now? I generally follow a simple rule: don’t get involved in things you don’t understand yourself. Cold storage is something I’m still learning about, and it feels like there’s always some new potential risk or failure mode that could come up and affect the funds. For Trezor-type hardware wallets, I feel that relying on a third party always introduces some degree of risk, whether it’s a wallet company or an exchange. That’s why I’m more interested in creating a completely offline wallet myself using an offline device, rather than relying on a dedicated wallet company. For those who have gone down this route: at 0.01 BTC, would you self-custody, or would you consider the amount too small to justify the added complexity/risk? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/halflol110 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/001-btc-small-btc-stack-big-self-custody-question</link><guid>899199</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>0.01 BTC: Small BTC Stack, Big Self-Custody Question</dc:text></item><item><title>Metaplanet Sells and Rebuys Its Bitcoin in a Bid for a Credit Rating</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/002Chris [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/metaplanet-sells-and-rebuys-its-bitcoin-in-a-bid-for-a-credit-rating</link><guid>899153</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Metaplanet Sells and Rebuys Its Bitcoin in a Bid for a Credit Rating</dc:text></item><item><title>Daily Discussion, October 06, 2026</title><description><![CDATA[Please utilize this sticky thread for all general Bitcoin discussions!

Its real node count is 10,000 to 20,000</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum&#39;s validator count, about 869,000 today, is sometimes presented as a count of the machines running the network, but that framing is inaccurate. Each validator is a staked identity with its own keys, and it runs as software on a node. A single node can run thousands of them. A node is a computer running Ethereum&#39;s client software. It checks every new block against the protocol&#39;s rules on its own. Since the Merge, a full Ethereum node runs two clients side by side: an execution client, which runs transactions and keeps track of balances and contracts, and a consensus client, which follows the beacon chain and agrees with the rest of the network on which blocks are final. Each one talks on its own peer-to-peer network, so the public trackers count them separately. On Oct 5, Etherscan found 11,781 execution nodes (Etherscan), and ProbeLab found 8,397 consensus nodes (ProbeLab). Every one of these counts misses nodes. These tools find nodes by reaching out to them, so any node behind a home router that won&#39;t take incoming connections never gets counted. Researchers at IMDEA Networks, who checked 36 blockchains every day for seven months, say their own Ethereum count is only a minimum for this reason. They also found thousands of extra nodes they couldn&#39;t tie to any one network (IMDEA study), and they found that Ethernodes counts far fewer Ethereum nodes than their own tools found. ProbeLab, the team behind the consensus count above, watched network traffic on another chain, Celestia, instead of reaching out to nodes. It found about 20% more nodes than reaching out did, and it says Ethereum likely has hidden nodes too. My estimate is that Ethereum&#39;s real node count is 10,000 to 20,000. Even at that smaller number, Ethereum is far and away the most decentralized ledger in the world. Its nodes run six separately built execution clients and six consensus clients, so a bug in one of them doesn&#39;t affect every node. Ordinary people can run one of those nodes at home. The ethereum.org site links a guide that shows you can turn even a Raspberry Pi 4 into a full Ethereum node. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/aminok [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/ethereum-is-far-and-away-the-most-decentralized-ledger-its-real-node-count-is-10000-to-20000</link><guid>898889</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Ethereum is far and away the most decentralized ledger.

I&#39;m less interested in theoretical attacks and more interested in how people with meaningful crypto holdings actually structure their security today. For example: Multisig Hardware wallets Passphrases / hidden wallets Duress or decoy wallets Timelocks Spending limits Geographically separated keys Trusted third parties / guardians Keeping only a small amount readily accessible My main research question is: What is the biggest weakness or failure mode of the approaches above when the attacker has physical control of the owner? And a second question: Is there any setup today that makes it technically impossible for a coerced owner to immediately move their long-term holdings to a new address? I&#39;m interested in real-world setups and experiences, not product recommendations. If you&#39;ve thought seriously about this threat model, I&#39;d be especially interested in what you currently do — and what you still don&#39;t feel comfortable with. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Born-Salamander-6544 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/research-question-what-is-the-biggest-unsolved-security-gap-in-self-custody-under-physical-coercion</link><guid>898852</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Research question: What is the biggest unsolved security gap in self-custody under physical coercion?</dc:text></item><item><title>Mentor Monday, October 05, 2026: Ask all your bitcoin questions!</title><description><![CDATA[Ask (and answer!) away!

Bitcoin’s volatility is visible. The fragility inside a supposedly “safe” investment can take much longer to surface.

Stablecoins can be seized by a central authority just like CBDCs, and their usage is easily trackable once a wallet is linked to an identity (I suppose with CBDC this is automatic).

In fact, most alt coins never reached back their ATH and didn&#39;t have the level of gains of 2021. It didn&#39;t even follow BTC that consistently. The rallies were short with more extended bear periods in between. You had to really time it right to get those big gains. You had very brief rallies around December 2024, and then end of August and September 2025. And in many cases, even those rallies weren&#39;t a whole lot higher than the initial halving breakout. At the same time, BTC&#39;s bullruns keep getting exponentially milder and at a fraction of the gains of the previous cycle. So that could translate to also milder alt seasons. It also doesn&#39;t help that we went from having under 2,000 alt coins in 2018, to over 10,000 on exchanges in 2021, to now over 100 Million that can be traded. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/fan_of_hakiksexydays [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/what-are-your-expectations-for-the-next-alt-season-are-we-gonna-make-up-for-the-lack-of-one-last-cycle-is-it-gonna-be-a-specific-niche-or-is-it-gonna-get-even-more-disappointing</link><guid>898718</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What are your expectations for the next alt season?

That is the friction we keep running into when &quot;fundamentals&quot; threads show up here: the writeup lists usage, partnerships, and a roadmap, then never says what the holder is actually entitled to. In equities the boring version of that question is the whole job. Common stock is a residual claim after everyone senior gets paid. A token is whatever the contract and the governance process say it is this quarter. Sometimes that is a fee share. Often the fee switch is off, or the fees route to a treasury the holders do not control, or &quot;value accrual&quot; means emissions paid in the same token you are trying to mark. Those are not the same instrument. Treating them as one word -- fundamentals -- is how smart people buy a story and think they bought a cash flow. We have sat with both tapes long enough to be bored by the costume change. Protocol fees only matter if they are on, if they survive the next vote, and if they are not being rebated away to rent the volume you are citing. Usage that exists because of points, incentives, or a farm is demand for the subsidy. It can be real activity. It is not the same evidence as someone paying full freight when the bribe ends. The chart will not annotate that for you. Unlock schedules are the other half, and they are not weather. They are a dated supply increase with a motivated seller: team, fund, early wallet, whose incentive is to realize a mark against your holding period. You can be right about the narrative and still be the bid they need. That is not a secret cabal. It is just the cap table doing what cap tables do when liquidity shows up. Narrative is the bid. The claim is the claim. When they diverge, you are in a timing trade about how long attention outruns entitlement, not in a discovery that the token was cheap because a thread had six bullets and a logo grid. We do not have a cleaner way to say it. If you cannot write one sentence on what cash or fee the token is owed, who can switch that off, and who is scheduled to sell into it, you are long the story. Stories work until they do not. NFA. Not a view on any specific ticker, and not a suggestion that any of this is easy to underwrite in size. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Patriot_tech [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/if-there-is-no-claim-the-thread-is-pricing-a-story</link><guid>898637</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>If there is no claim, the thread is pricing a story</dc:text></item><item><title>Blast, a crypto Ethereum L2 network that held $2.24 billion in June 2024, is shutting down.

Someone quotes a big round number for coins outstanding and treats it like depth. It is not depth. It is a stock of outputs, most of which are not offered. A UTXO is just a discrete chunk of bitcoin that has not been spent yet. The set can grow because people split change, or shrink when they consolidate. Neither move, by itself, tells you how much bitcoin would trade if the tape got hit. Liquidity is the marginal slice: coins whose owners are willing to sell into the book, or whose bids are actually resting there. Aged outputs that have not moved in years are inventory. Dust that costs more in fees to spend than it is worth is closer to clutter than to float. Fees are the quiet part of that story. Miners do not get paid to make the UTXO set tidy. They get paid to include transactions. When fees are low, consolidation is cheap and some of that clutter can be swept back into spendable outputs. When fees are high, small outputs stay stuck, and the coins that clear are the ones attached to owners who care enough to pay. The incentive is local and unsentimental. It does not line up with a clean circulating supply figure. We are not claiming we can see who will sell. Coin age and output size are clues about constraints, not a forecast. Cycle narratives like to pretend the float is a dial someone turns. In practice the dial is whoever shows up with a spendable output and a price they will take, against whoever is bidding. That gap is why a quiet order book and a huge headline supply can sit next to each other without contradicting. If you are marking risk off the full stock of coins, you are marking a warehouse, not the aisle that is open today. How do you separate coins that have not moved from coins that will not move when fees spike? We still do not have a clean answer.

The L1 is scaling alongside rollups.</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum is scaling in two places at once. It&#39;s adding room for transactions on the L1 itself, and room for rollups to post their data in blobs. The next L1 step comes on Oct 6, when the Glamsterdam upgrade goes live on the Sepolia testnet (EF announcement, Sep 28). The L1 track: The gas limit sets how much computation fits in each block. It sat at 30M from August 2021 to early 2025. Then it rose to 36M in February 2025, 45M in July 2025 and 60M in late November 2025, where it is today. That&#39;s double the 2021 level. A simple ETH transfer costs 21,000 gas, and a block comes every 12 seconds. At 60M, that&#39;s a ceiling of about 238 transfers per second, up from about 45 in 2020. Actual use is about 24 transactions per second. Most transactions do more than a simple transfer, and blocks aren&#39;t always full. The upgrade is built to raise that ceiling safely. Its two main changes are: ePBS makes building a block and proposing it two separate jobs inside the protocol. That gives nodes more time to receive and check each block. Block-level access lists make every block list up front the accounts and data it touches. Nodes can then load that data and check transactions in parallel. Both let nodes check bigger blocks within the 12 seconds they have. That raises capacity without turning the base chain into a datacenter chain, since ordinary people can still run a node. After the upgrade, Sepolia will run at a 200M gas limit. Core devs agreed to that on Sep 24. On mainnet, no change to 200M is scheduled. The software validators run still defaults to 60M. The blob track: Blobs are a separate space in each block where rollups post their transaction data. They launched in March 2024 with a target of 3 per block. An upgrade in May 2025 raised that to 6. In December 2025, the Fusaka upgrade added PeerDAS. PeerDAS lets nodes check blob data by downloading small random pieces of it, not all of it. Two follow-up upgrades then raised the target to 10 in December and 14 in January 2026, where it is today. That&#39;s almost 5X the launch target. The upcoming upgrade doesn&#39;t add more blobs. Its ePBS change lets the network safely handle more blob data later. Contracts on the L1 can&#39;t read what&#39;s inside a blob. They only see a short identifier for it. So the two tracks aren&#39;t interchangeable. Blobs give rollups room for their data, and gas is what L1 applications use to run. Why Ethereum needs both: One L1 transaction can call several contracts and either finish every step or none of them. For example, one transaction can swap collateral, repay a loan and move the asset out. Doing the same across separate chains takes bridges, messages and extra coordination. That&#39;s why the L1 matters for DeFi and payments, even as rollups carry most of the volume. L2BEAT counts about 2,350 transactions per second across the scaling projects it tracks (L2BEAT activity). Most of that comes from one rollup, the Lighter exchange. That&#39;s nearly 100X the L1&#39;s 24. None of this is finished. The upgrade still has to get through Sepolia and then the Hoodi testnet before it gets a mainnet date. It&#39;s essential that developers keep executing on the scaling roadmap without any bugs being introduced. In February 2026 the Ethereum Foundation merged its separate L1 and blob scaling goals into a single &quot;Scale&quot; track, with the stated goal to &quot;raise the gas limit toward and beyond 100M&quot; (EF 2026 priorities). EF researchers have set out a long-term target of about 10,000 transactions per second on the L1, or roughly 864 million a day. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/aminok [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://smtp.coinsnews.com/glamsterdam-hits-ethereums-sepolia-testnet-on-oct-6-the-l1-is-scaling-alongside-rollups</link><guid>898557</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Glamsterdam hits Ethereum's Sepolia testnet on Oct 6.

This reduced Chinas hash rate to the Bitcoin network from approximately 46% down to around 12% today. China is one of the most surveilled countries in the world. So how can still 12 % hashrate come from China. My theory is that it is actually the government accumulating bitcoin themselves though mining. They know what bitcoin is, and cannot risk standing on the sideline if bitcoin continues to grow and take play a bigger role. But if they openly say they buy or mine bitcoin, then it would contribute to bitcoins growth and globalization. Thats why I suspect they use cheap excess energy to mine. Its basicly free money, and insuranse.
