I am working on something internally @AntidoteBTC codenamed Project Safety Net in response to the Coldcard debacle. I'm going to be a little opaque on details, but this will focus on software coordination rather than hardware. I am willing to put capital behind this to assemble the team and reach MVP. Engineers (front+back) plus PM needed, please DM if curious and/or put the word out.

User spending on open weight models surged to 46% of total spending this week on our platform, led by an explosion of interest in Kimi-K3 in the wake of the Coldcard hack. This may turn out to be a leading indicator for the entire AI industry as whole as open models proliferate and closed models are kneecapped by regulation and self-flaggelation:

The model runs in real time at 20 fps, based on the keys you and the other players press. Built by General Intuition and @kyutai_labs, in collaboration with Epic Games. Not used to develop Rocket League. ▶️ Play the demo, read the technical report, and explore the open-source code at generalintuition.com/mira At ICML?

I am betting on this winning the world model race with human like intuition emerging in this model. Uncanny the range of things it can do. Can it win a formula 1 race soon?

Bringin now runs on MiCA-licensed infrastructure ⚡ The rails powering Bringin - Lightspark Payments Europe AS, are now fully licensed by the Estonian FSRA. An electronic money institution for euros, and a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA. Every Bitcoiner across the EU can continue to use Bringin without interruption. Buy, sell, spend, self-custody - nothing changes for you. The euros you hold, the conversions between Bitcoin and euros, the payments on your card – all of it now sits on regulated, supervised infrastructure. The money side and the exchange side, under one license. And the part that matters most: your Bitcoin stays in your own wallet. Your keys, your coins. Lightspark Payments Europe on the Estonian FSRA's official register 👇 fi.ee/en/investment-market/c… We started Bringin with one mission: making Bitcoin usable today without compromising self-custody principles. Many bought houses, boats, and passports with bitcoin. A few bought Bitcoin after selling property to move to a country they love. Many Bitcoin earners are able to pay for goods and services without juggling with gift cards and bank blocks. Hundreds of Bitcoiners live on Bitcoin. This will not stop due to regulation changes or hurdles; we are here to stay and help more Bitcoiners with tools they need to live more sovereign life in this dual money era. 🧡
