great points. I’ve used tinygo, it is pretty awesome unfortunately the features I was using weren’t supported; I was utilizing some public key cryptography. I will have to check out emgo; first time I’m hearing about it.

I would love if wasm got some more TLC from the go team. Output sizes are massive compared to rust or C. I think it’s just a matter of adding some tree shaking … but probably easier said than done. I’ve been falling more and more in love wi

Nice stuff; I did something similar with ffmpeg and pion. It was for audio and it was webrtc to ffmpeg. I was streaming a group chat directly to s3. It mostly worked, but the only problem I ran into was syncing issues if a user had a spotty

a lot of exploits deliberately avoid persistence as an extra layer of protection from detection. Since most folks rarely restart their phones these bugs can live on your phone until a restart. So by restarting your phone on a weekly basis y

correct. When I mentioned more folks mining again I meant more folks mining because it’s easier and of course whenever the dislocated Chinese miners get their operations back up again in another location.

Yes. In 4 days the difficulty will adjust and it will be 20+% easier to mine a coin. As more people start back mining difficulty will adjust again

If you use multiple services each with a piece of Shamir’s secret you are more protected. You can get more sophisticated with this if you want e.g each piece can be xored or encrypted with a value only that person would know e.g their birth

you can use multi sig wallets. Which are synonymous to Shamir’s Secret Sharing Algo; tldr you can generate say 5 keys and you need 3 of the 5 to unlock. As for if you die … you could use one of those services that will send an email out to

criminals tend to prefer privacy coins like monero over bitcoin because of how easy it is to track bitcoin transfers. If any of their bitcoin transfers ever touches a KYC wallet they are screwed; until taproot gets activated for bitcoin it

real estate; you can buy out right and property value will rise with inflation. Or you can get a fixed mortgage which means you will owe less if inflation kicks in. Alternatively owning regular assets should help; stocks, gold, crypto, art,

Title should be changed to “You can’t afford to continue running Java 8”

agreed; when I started reading this I thought they were saying if you are running anything below Java 8 it’s faster

no way to tell for sure, but the stock to flow model has been pretty accurate over the years and it projects around $90k+ by year end ... institutions like PayPal are buying directly from miners, others are applying with SEC to buy BTC for
