Stroke of a Pen I told Opus 5.5 to read my Bitcoin & monetary-history wikis & make a music video with code only. it used ElevenLabs for the track. Then a swarm of agents storyboarded and coded a 3:23 portrait reel. ~75 shots cut on the beats. Had to do 2 revisions - first the people looked like poorly animated stick figures & it rewrote the rigs. Then I said use matrix code to make it more interesting. Impressive!

FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256. The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs. For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.

i’m afraid of KYC and you should be too. KYC is a risk to your personal safety. collecting personal information in the age of cyber security breaches everywhere is extremely irresponsible. and it’s not going to get any better any time soon. our laws shouldn’t require institutions to KYC, they should prevent them from doing so. institutions that leak KYC information or fail to defend it from hackers should be punished by the law for risking their user’s safety.

What would you do if you found the private key to an address holding 250 BTC? Join us for the first ever Tales From The Timechain, where we answer what one of us did... This is a true cypherpunk story exploring the early archaeology of Bitcoin. Read all 13 pages now for free right here on Twitter. Featuring my man @HodlTarantula as the anonymous miner "Chuck" because he's perfect for the part! (likeness used without permission). All art made using @GeminiApp 3.1 Pro. For those who want to learn more behind the story, keep reading. If you want to read the story itself - get to it! ------------------------------ This is an adaptation of a talk by a security researcher named Ryan Castelluci, given at DEFCON 23 (2015). You can still watch the presentation today on YouTube. See source notes at the end of the comic. I also did my own blockchain archaeology, found all the relevant wallets from his talk and verified the evidence on-chain, myself. See source notes at the end of the comic for the addresses and on-chain data. I came across this topic while researching how to add a security feature called anti-exfil to DIY bitcoin signing devices and coordinator software (@SeedSigner @SparrowWallet @selfcustodykrux (also Kern), @nunchuk_io @BULLBITCOIN_ - and shoutout to @BitcoinShooter for getting it working on @BlockstreamJade - now we're teaming up!), and while working on that, I wanted to dig deep into the types of attacks it helps prevent. This sent me down a long rabbit hole, ECDSA failures, reused/predictable nonces, Dark Skippy to "The Curious Case of the half-Half Nonces", and then to this story - about brainwallets, as almost a footnote in the half-half story...So I'm starting here, it's the easiest one to tackle, and I'm hoping to learn this well enough that I can explain it clearly...here's hoping. The comic panels aren't perfect, it's AI, and I did this relatively quickly, so I can move onto the deeper levels of this project. To create the script, I watched Ryan's YouTube presentation about 5 times, downloaded and corrected the transcript, and then made a 12-page sketch of what I hoped to show on each page to detail the story. I fed that transcript and my 12-page sketch into a BUNCH of models; - GPT 5.6 Sol Medium - Very bland and boring! - Gemini 3.1 Pro - Did better, gave some stuff to work with, still not great. - KimiK3 - now this one did really good! I liked this one the best. - Deepseek V4 Pro - I accidentally left the Kimi script in the same folder, and it just told me "the script already exists, but I corrected some inconsistencies"...oh well. In the end I took all 3 scripts and rewrote them into one. Then I kept adjusting it - honestly until the very last page was done, I kept making changes...hope it came out good. All in - about 1-2 days of research and thinking. 1 day of script wrangling, and then another 2 of generating pages and then fixing individual panels or text boxes. Some fixes I had the AI do, some I had to manually do myself in Illustrator. Anyway, this is getting too long - I'll let you get to Page 1 of 12! Enjoy and let me know what you think!

The bucket was meant to hold water. There was always infinite trajectories to pee in the bucket. Downstream of one particular trajectory, a small sponge was put, to absorb some of the pee and mitigate damage to the rest of the water in the bucket. On top of that, a pitted detachable net was put on top of the bucket, mitigating further random pee sprays (but not stopping any precise and motivated pee stream). With SegWit, the bucket was made 4 times larger, to try to appease some big bucketers, which went away to their little irrelevant alt-bucket anyway. This made peeing in the bucket slightly easier. With Taproot, the detachable net was removed from part of the bucket (far away from the sponge). Both events motivated some uncivilized sociopaths to pee more in that part of the bucket. A proposal to extend the detachable net didn't get adopted. A further proposal to increase the sponge did. I think both choices have been pretty poor, especially in methodology and execution, but ultimately they are pretty inconsequential (especially the second, since the pee was not raining close to the sponge at all anyway). Some bucket "experts" went on podcasts to ask: "What even is pee anyway?". The most notable of those philosophically-challenged "experts" left bucket-maintenance for good, after justified push back from people not into golden shower kinks. Then a proposal to urgently put an overcomplicated Ruby Goldberg machine inside the very plastic-structure of the bucket itself, to replicate the effect of the full detachable net, but only for one year, was also rejected. I think the choice to reject it was sound, since it was completely retarded. Some of the people pushing for that failed nonsense went away to build their own tiny alt-bucket, where no water will flow. I'm counting on the economic majority to reject bigger changes to the bucket fundamental structure as retarded. The fact it rejected a small one is encouraging.
