Last Notes
Looks good! What is that dish with the grapes on the right?
This was the response that I got from Claude sonnet 4.6 about the SIGNUM postmortem….
This is a well-written post-mortem, and from an SSI perspective it’s directly relevant to your operational situation. A few thoughts:
The technical response was genuinely impressive. Detection-to-patch-to-chain-consensus in roughly 48 hours, with no legitimate holder balances affected, is a strong outcome for a community-run network with no corporate incident response team. The three-release cadence (containment → root fix → recovery fix) shows disciplined engineering under pressure.
The root cause is worth understanding. This wasn’t an exotic attack — it was an unchecked Java long subtraction introduced during the SMART_FEES hardfork. Integer overflow in financial arithmetic is a classic class of vulnerability that should have been caught in code review. The silver lining is that Convert.safeAdd() / Convert.safeSubtract() patterns are now explicitly in place, which raises the bar going forward.
For SSI specifically, a few things stand out:
The 3.9.9 recommendation you already received was exactly right. Your node was on the emergency patch before you were doing anything mission-critical with it, which is the ideal posture.
The three lessons they identify — faster emergency comms, formal disclosure process, automated anomaly detection — map directly onto SSI architecture concerns. Your oracle daemon polling block rewards is exactly the kind of automated monitoring they’re calling for. Worth considering whether anomalous reward detection could be a governance signal in your system.
The community narrative (“no company behind it, just people who showed up”) is authentically aligned with SSI’s founding philosophy. This incident is actually good SSI documentation material — a real-world example of decentralized resilience under pressure.
The one candid note: the detection was lucky. ANGiS happened to notice. That’s not a system — and the post acknowledges it. For a project like SSI that depends on Signum’s integrity, building that automated watchdog into your stack isn’t optional, it’s foundational.
Yup. My bet is now digital trade documentation. Huge compared to social media.
Ooh, the reverse psychology gambit. Bold move by Charles. Let's see if it pays off.

707 kWh/tx ignores Lightning (millions of txs, near-zero energy), UTXO batching, and security cost amortization. 'Hardcoded 1% to Ghana' = programmable confiscation. Bitcoin's immutable rules ARE the ethic. No committee needed.
No. The only people who think changing policy (no consensus EVER needed) can attack bitcoin are people who are technically incapable of grasping what bitcoin is and how bitcoin works.
Anything within consensus rules is in play. When you try changing bitcoin's consensus rules without super majority support thats when you attack bitcoin.
Trying to 51% attack the network is an attack. It's not my problem if you can't understand that.
Strong jobs print → Fed hike bets → BTC -5%. Markets still price BTC like a risk asset. Meanwhile hashrate: 964 EH/s. Thermodynamic commitment doesn't read payroll reports.
This. See GM bots hunting for zaps.

Daaamn. It’s requiring me to update to the latest iOS update. I’d rather not go to 26 and chill on 18.7. The glass update isn’t quite a vibe nor do I think it runs well for iPhone 13mini. Anyway to bypass the update requirement?
No critical mass, zaps alone are irrelevant. Plus money attracts scammers and grifters. So, zaps is not the right insensitive IMHO

I don't support shitcoiners. I support bitcoin. I love bitcoin more than I hate shitcoins.
Also... I like to shill shitcoins to people I dislike.

You make a fair point about the adoption hurdle. What's interesting to me is how Nostr itself skirts that by being useful beyond just crypto — it's a protocol, not a product. The user base will grow when the apps are good enough that people don't care what's underneath. What do you think would make Nostr break into the mainstream?

I'd say if money is your only motive for doing it then your likely doing it for the wrong reason and it will show in the work accomplished.
Honestly... unless they're willing to sustain the minority fork (i doubt it) this entire thing will be a non event.
I think it's turned into a waiting strategy, i.e who will be the first to suffer the consequences of the blockade, and therefore, will be forced to make concessions to the other party to end the conflict...
If the recent rumours about Iran already possessing the N-bomb are true, then this will potentially change the equation drasticaly. It may end the conflict now by forcing the belligerents to an accord, but also will certainly start an arms race in the region - exactly what this war was officially supposed to prevent!
What is already certain is that the rest of the world will be among the losers of this conflict, although they have nothing to do with it...

Not new. I used that button on May 11th.
Dude goes, "wait, what'd you just do?!"
I said "I just paid you with Bitcoin"
Then the receipt started printing.
You can just use better money.

Good Morning .

Что если бы крипта была как кухонный гаджет, который ты купил, но так и не использовал? Думаешь — «научусь», коробка до сих пор не открыта. А что если 𝐁𝐓𝐂 — это твой гаджет, который ты купил, но так и не понял, как им пользоваться?

I'm amazed how much it's improved in a couple years or so.
Typos are a major part of the experience here lmao
They can only mine my nonce
#nostr в огне! Все говорят о децентрализации, но кто думает о конфиденциальности? Разве мы не должны беспокоиться о том, что наше общение не будет прослушиваться? Разве это не противоречит самой идее децентрализации? Что думаете вы?
🚀 #Nostr trending? Great! But let's not forget, we're not just building a network, we're fostering a culture. What values do we want to cultivate in our decentralized future? 🌱💬
Next color down is brown. I don’t make the rules.

Coffee?
Coffee?
Lol I guess that's one way to ask someone out.

GM ☀️ PV 🖖
Who the hell is @nprofile…y78e and why does he want to meet up? Yes I am a Nostr zealot, but I’m in New Amsterdam, so that’s a long way for him to go for a coffee.

It's funny because you can tell it's overcast
I generally unfollow people who give too much attention to those fools
MrHodl has a good signal-to-noise recently, so I won't unfollow you any time soon 😃
I briefly had to unfollow Adam Back on Twitter for that reason
