The CVSS score cannot be trusted? How so? I don't see why any of the log4j CVE's 'cant be trusted'?

So, you either explain to the customer about how the CVE is out of scope in this context due to the various mitigations or lack of exploitability, or you patch it. Every CVE is real, and should be addressed. Your customers pay you to help t

Hang about. You may have misunderstood what CVE is. CVE doesn't mean 'world ending vulnerability'. It means "common vulnerability and exposure". It is merely a way of tagging security vulnerabilities through multipl

The problem is that QR codes are not information dense enough to encode large amounts of data efficiently. I have been trying to build something similar to this and using various encoding methods. So far, I have trouble getting more than ab

Cryptocurrency is meant to be analogous to physical cash. Cash is not designed to prevent theft, most theft of monetary instruments throughout history has been through confiscation of gold or cash. They exist as physical quantities in the p

The current pool distribution for Bitcoin is here: https://btc.com/stats/pool No pool has >20% today. It is in the interests of the miners to prevent a situation where one pool takes a majority of the hash rate. Min

Back in the early times, 'solo mining' was trying to find actual block target values and would yield the full reward, winner takes all. Mining pools were invented, that aggregate a whole bunch of miners all working on the same thi

Thank you for sharing the numbers! That does look quite profitable even for a hobbyist (maybe even YOU, the reader?). I am all for the further decentralization of this technology and hope others can profit from this also!

That's the way! Nicely done. Can I ask what your power costs are? The problem is that in high population centers in the US, electricity costs make it not economical.

It is the the most important feature in an encrypted messaging client, that the provider cannot see the cleartext of your message content. Any vendor that claims their product to be 'encrypted', plays this up in marketing and lets

Practically, yes. Whomever has the private key can make a transaction. Proof of knowledge (of a private key) is equivalent to ownership. This is how it works. Money is a human construct. But it can live on a system backed by physical univer

Agree. The difference in my belief structure is that those that make the laws cannot cede authority to math. The mathematics already overrides their authority. They are beholden to the laws of physics and mathematics, we all are. They canno

Humans are fundamentally untrustworthy. The solution is less trust and more verify (mathematics).

You are missing the critical component, the double spend protection. Which is exactly the world we had <2008. It is powerful and we used it in finance for decades. However trustless systems that prevent double spends are more powerful, a

You don't see it because you are not looking for it. It is real, and you are, for example, being robbed of value in fiat currencies in your bank account every year due to inflation. How much you are aware and want to do something about

The best way to enforce truth is via mathematics. A court can declare 1+1!=2, which does not make it so. Courts are fundamentally human constructs. I find the ancient universal truths of numbers to be better.

Prob 40% ish. I think 8 million coins have moved in the last 2 years. There is about 1.3M on exchanges, losing <100k a month. 1 more year until no more left to sell on exchanges.

The logic of business would imply that a vendor of exploit code is going to make significantly more money reselling the exploit than the author of the exploit code. 100k for an exploit to the author? The exploit vendor will sell it for mill

There is $0 at stake, because CSW is not Satoshi. A hard fork to steal coins was his goal all along, with forking Bcash into BSV. CSW knew he would never convince Bitcoin, so he decided to use the State to force the return of coins that do

Selling to Zerodium is not equivalent to getting a bounty from MSFT. Selling exploit code hurts people. Microsoft will patch the vuln to protect its customers. Selling exploits to Zerodium is very bad. Be a force for good in this world.
